I agree fully, looking at risk vs potential gain. There's no incentive at all. But then there's the old saying "in it to win it"

I deposited about 100 euro, so I had like 2000x worth of balance for grinding Down the Chimney. I really thought I'd see at least a 400x at some point over all these spins but none in sight! In fact, I've only had a single 100x win. Still not over but at this rate it will be soon.

Down to the final 1/4 of my 300% boosted starting balance now, it doesn't look good as far as catching up with you guys in the top-3 is concerned..! I had my one chance the other day, when I caught the 100 Free Spins, doubt I'll get another shot at it. I think this contest will be decided today, even if there's still a week to go. With Booming starting tomorrow, I'm sure we'll all be playing their slots only!

Well, 3750 spins into Down the Chimney for the night I think I'll rather go play something else. Something enjoyable. Something not Bragg. I got a 100x almost rightaway but now, 20 bonuses later, it remains the best hit by far. I'm usually very patient about slots, but with these... I don't know, it just doesn't feel worth the wait.

I might add to my post above (even if I doubt it will become an issue) that the max win on this 24Casino bonus is 5x the bonus amount.

I'm not too optimistic, in all honesty I know @Fiekie247 took the same bonus earlier in the week yet got no noteworthy wins from it It's at 24Casino, and the bonus is found here on AG under 'exclusives'. I also got 50 FS on Elvis Frog TW and 24 FS on BB Splash. It's one of those casinos that looks real nice and smooth at first sight but when you inspect them closer you find that they got Pragmatic, BGaming, Nolimit etc on 94% and you're just heartbroken. Oryx seems to be at default RTP though so for contest purposes, it's perfect

@loceff13, @Blackjax, @Afi4wins I know this isn't what you want to hear, but tonight I'm coming for you! I'm on a fresh deposit with a huge 300% bonus boost and I just can't see what could go wrong!

Yeah, I recall having to reload slots from Booming alot. And I recall their modest bonus pay outs as well! Nothing like doing 1500 spins on 'The Rodfather' only to have it pay 20x once you finally land the bonus! Then you think, surely the next one will be better, but then, after another 1500 spins, turns out it's just the same! That said, I've hit a few wins in the 1000-2000x range on TNT Bonanza playing on 0.4 but these were all bonus buys though and I bought a lot of them.

Are there multiple rtp settings on these or can we expect to be playing on 96% anywhere?

I catch your point, but I don't think my "strategy" will work with Booming Games though. When there is a Pragmatic, I can pretty much leave it on autoplay an entire day, be it at home, at work, or whatever, knowing that when I check, the game will either have paused with the feature ready, or if I had a huge base game hit, I could view - and screenshot - the replay. When you have Booming on autoplay, it will play out the feature too by itself so you can't really leave the game running while you are AFK because you risk missing out on getting the required screenshot of any big wins you might get. As far as I can tell, Booming doesn't have a replay function either. You're pretty much forced to sit there paying close attention, so there is no way to get the same amount of spins on these games as on Pragmatic, which I agree has been my great advantage in the last few contests.

No typo? These prizes are incredible!

So, just as I posted I got the ideal set-up: 100 Free Spins! I thought I was looking at a 500-1000x for sure! Of course I wasn't: it ended up paying just over 200x. No excitement, no big values, just a few small hits here and there, and one spin with full wilds, but obviously only the 9's and 10's landed next to it . Sorry to say, but @Afi4wins was right: Bragg is such a dragg

I'm starting to lose patience with Bragg. Begun the night with Creepy Christmas but could only bare to sit through 125 spins - the game seemed totally dead and returned only 40%. Obviously too small a sample to draw any conclusions, but if this had gone on for the next, say, 500 spins, my fresh deposit would have been pretty much dead at birth. Moved on to Down the Chimney. Currently 2500 spins into it, no feeling whatsoever that something is about to happen. One dull feature after the other, Rudy remains stationary. Any value at 50x plus nowhere near being caught. No teases for the 'Grand'. No large number of free spins. No ways with the Santa symbol. Down 200x. Don't get me wrong, I really like a good contest. But this one's really got me worried whether it'll all be worthwhile!

Was a bit discouraged from battling further after last night's -1500x reality check, Certainly as far as Creepy Christmas is concerned. Might switch to chasing the 2000x Grand Jackpot on Down the Chimney instead, it feels like it'll be cheaper, and I ALMOST got it the other day, when it appeared and Rudy started flying towards it! But of course, he stopped one too soon!

Thanks for the tip @Potatohead - I'll be sure to test it out next time around. For now, Creepy Christmas took my entire budget of NOK 2450 + 150% over at Rocketplay in mere hours playing at min bet, not even a 150x in sight For the issue - as you can't see from my screenshot, here I got the game open in one window and Youtube in the other:

Unfortunately, the wife witnessed the whole thing so now I'm sleeping on the coach untill my balance heals and she'll take me in again

@AlexBragg I'd like to report an issue with Creepy Christmas. After a while - on auto quickspins in my case - the screen goes all white or all black and a reload is required. At first I thought it was a casino issue, but now that I am playing elsewhere, it keeps happening. Other than that, a well made game indeed! Admittedly, it's currently brutalizing my balance but can definitely see something good eventually happening on this one!

Well, how about that - the instant I submitted the post above, I hit something nice! I was just a few points short of breaking into the top-3 but a new personal Bragg high score by far! Creepy Christmas 341.12x

I'm struggling to hit something too, mostly playing Creepy Christmas. It was ok last night, played it for 3 hours straight with hardly any balance movement but so far this night, it's been dreadful and just eating away. I like the slot though. Multiplier wilds, upgrades, extra spins, volatility choice, an active base game, extra bet option (sadly unavailable for the contest).. it's got a lot going for it! But it doesn't feel Christmas-y at all. More like they were delayed from releasing it in time for Halloween and then just hastily added a santa's hat and some presents here and there!

Further improving my score, 129.9x now. Game is still Down the Chimney, and the 'Grand' has shown itself for a good tease! Now to actually collect it!

@Icy Casino used was King Billy actually. Credit where credit's due Also, if someone from Pragmatic happens to stop by this thread: Something is very wrong with your newest slot, Gates of Olympus 1000 Xmas! Done 1750 spins, not gotten a single bonus, staked NOK 3500, returned NOK 2200

I don't think these go as 'Jackpot' slots in a bonus wagering sense. It's usually the progressives they refer to. I play slots like Mustang Gold or Elvis Frog all the time with a bonus and noone's ever objected to that, since these have a fixed amount and is just a fancy word for a 1,000x or so.

Not much activity here as the contest approaches its conclusion. Quite shocking actually that such nice prizes don't attract more players! I was really expecting some hardcore ZvH grinding! Or could it be that everyone's got their huge win ready and are just waiting till the final moment to post it? Anyway, I just had a magnificent couple of features on Sugar Rush 1000! I KNEW it had more to give, it just took some time! If @Fiekie247 won't mind, and the current standings does hold up, I'd like to claim 2nd place as well!

Just a quick reminder as well: When you refresh or re-enter the game (DtC), the stake is set back to the default 2.0 rather than the 0.2 you were probably playing at. Beware!
