tehf00n Posted 31 March, 2022 Share Posted 31 March, 2022 (edited) I will preface this with 2 points. 1. I'm not counting bonus buys but I'm a UK player and can't buy them 2. The RTP is really good and for a wagering game it's up amongst some of the best So why is it my worst slot of the year? So far I am 1500x down on this slot. Today I ran through over 3000 spins and had 2 bonuses. First paid 18x and the second paid 54x. It takes roughly 90 minutes to do 1000 spins. So today I played over 4 hours for 2 bonuses. This isn't the first time it's been absolutely awful for bonuses. Last time I played it I ran 600x down without a bonus. I then played another 400x on redeposit without a bonus. The third deposit I got a quick one that I gambled to try get a better bonus and it lost. I had one more bonus which I had to take and it paid roughly 50x. My best win on the slot is 180x from the "It's on" basegame bonus. What really makes me angry about this slot is it looks good, has good music, the basegame wouldn't be bad if it actually bonused in any decent amount of time and the 3 bonuses are interesting. But playing for an average of 2 hours to hit the bonus is ridiculous. It's worse than Bonanza and we all know how hard it is to hit that bonus. In total I have ran over 10,000 spins on the game and had no return from the bonuses as they have all been sub-par. We know how much it can pay as we sit watching the bonus buys from streamers but it would be a stream killer to try get a few base game bonuses on. The bonus gamble makes waiting for a bonus even worse because I can't bring myself to gamble them often. I've gambled 2 and they both lost so when I have sat for an hour to hit a bonus (or longer) it's not worth the risk of gambling it. What I believe would make this game better is if the gamble wasn't All or Nothing. If you were gambling half your spins, it would probably entice me to try it more often. Also the frequency of the bonuses is literally stressful. It teases so often, drops bonus symbols so often yet it rarely drops all 3 in. I had a 4 scatter once in all my spins and I took the middle bonus for the extra spin, and it never made it to 15x and paid under 50x. The worst thing is, I won't stop playing it because of this. I have to get at least one decent win before I can finally ban it for good. Anyway, I feel beasted by this slot so I'm going to climb into my wardrobe and shout at the dark for a while Edited 31 March, 2022 by tehf00n 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Amitdey Posted 1 April, 2022 Share Posted 1 April, 2022 Same with Nolimit city games.. They promise 300000x and 150000x but the bonus pays only 10x-20x. Worst is that UK does not allow bonus buys ands its almost impossible to hit Super Bonus in NoLimit games.. its like winning a Jackpot. Quote Link to comment

The people to be mad at for this aren't the slot developers, it's the UKGC. Same reason why you can't do bonus buys.

So what you're saying is you don't like the volatility of the slot? Well, you seem clued up enough to understand volatility and variance, and if that isn't your personal preference when it comes to play style, why are you playing one of the most volatile slots? You know it's extremely hard to bonus and that when the bonus does come, it's likely to not be great. If you want the opportunity to hit those life changing wins, the game has to operate like this.

This statement indicates that you perhaps shouldn't be playing slots or gambling in the first instance. I'm not having a go mate, but anyone here will tell you that chasing your losses is one of the number one indicators problem gambling. If you feel after a bad session you can't move on, you should stop. -- On 08/04/2022 at 21:16, kay88i said: @tehf00n Totally agree beast mode is a absolute shocking game for uk players stay away from it doesn't bonus its a streamer game and honestly shouldn't be allowed on uk casino platforms I'm from the U.K and still want access to be able to play this slot. Just because it might not be to certain peoples play style, or they disagree with the fact we can't bonus buy, doesn't mean no-one should be able to play it. If you don't like the game, play something else... Edited 11 April, 2022 by joshnadin Quote Link to comment

If you feel after a bad session you can't move on, you should stop. I shouldn't be playing slots. I'm an addicted slot gambler. However I can't stay away and the compulsion is too much for me, hence im addicted. But I limit my losses. I only spend £20 a week tops. If I win over £100 I cash out, give the wife half and get some more bonuses with the remaining. This way I can feed my habit without feeding the casinos too much money. The reason I played Beast Mode so much is I truly like the slot. It's got a good base game for RTP (usually) and the bonuses are exciting. The artwork and audio are top notch. I don't think there is a better looking slot and when you play a slot for a long time, that matters. Nobody wants to hear the Novomatic bleeps and bloops for 6 hours in a session I've stuck to Beast Mode to hit a big win and I just got it. 1100x which just about pays me back everything I lost on it so far. So cashout is a must and the wife will enjoy a few quid to buy a takeaway or something. Have fun ! 1 Quote Link to comment

dispenseri Posted 18 April, 2022 Share Posted 18 April, 2022 I believe bonus gambles, ESPECIALLY when combined with bonus buys, to be kinda predatory slot design as it can be really dangerous for some players. One big reason why I'm not such a fan of this one (as well as Cherry Pop and the like). Quote Link to comment

FreeWheelerBaby Posted 28 April, 2022 Share Posted 28 April, 2022 @TimoSchellekensare crypto sites not regulated? I have been watching the crypto streamers and noticed that they are targeting the US market big time, they have even got the likes of Adin Ross using VPNs saying he’s in Mexico because gambling is banned in the US playing on Stake casino..! I would like to know how the crypto casinos are getting away with it and why the providers are allowing them to use there games, it says a lot about regulations and the morals of providers all those people are going to lose everything, the US is about to be destroyed in a very short space of time it resembles a pyramids scheme to me! I hear these streamers saying all the time how they are down millions etc and all I see them doing is winning millions hit after hit, I never hit wins ever like I see these streamers hit. and I play most days and NEVER get hits like I see them hitting it’s ridiculous HOW? It just doesn’t add up! and you have streamers Trainwrecked saying he is down millions god help us at the bottom is all I can say ! I am in UK and have been absolutely crippled by regulated online casinos, so god know what’s going to happen with the not regulated ones my biggest ever win being 5000x on 60p stake sounds good but didn’t even cover my losses for a week, I have been online gambling for 15 years and not once have I been up where I could say yeah that was good week. Once in 15 years I had a 5000x how do these streamers hit them many times a week, and they are still down even with 500% bonuses! Maaaaannnn please tell me what is going on? Quote Link to comment
DrJoofy Posted 29 April, 2022 Share Posted 29 April, 2022 I wanted to clear a few things about the game up **The bonus frequency in beast mode 1 in 300 (1 in 299~ish) [as a comparison, Iron Bank is 1 in 420 and I think Bonanza is as well if i remember correctly] **the gambles are 50/50 **you can hit the max win on any bonus without gambling **AVG win of the bonus buy (or bonus if you're UK) is the RTP x buy cost (80) , and the AVG win on a gambled bonus is exactly double that number having said that -- I will say that we have received a ton of feedback about how brutal the base game is, and we will definitely take that into account in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment
