Have any of you seen or played a game from NextGen entitled Glorious Empire? Well, I came across this game some months back at Casumo, but never got to trying it out, until today. With real money? Heck no! I always try out new games in the fun mode first. If it plays good, then I'll give it a bash...if not good, then it'll go in the trash, hehehe. My first impression of this Glorious Empire game...not good at all! Why? Simply because the paytable has extremely low win values, even lower than The Wild Chase's paytable. I used to ask myself, "how much lower can these game providers make the paytable be?" Well, here's the answer! For example, getting 5 Wilds on a payline pays an incredible 5x the total bet!!! Now that's simply incredible...from the bottom side up! But the game plays with 40 paylines and pays both ways, so those 5 Wilds would end up with a glorious 10x total bet win...yeah, from the bottom side up, hehehe. I was thinking "what the heck was NextGen designers doing with this game?" The paytable is probably the lowest I have come across, or one of the lowest, so how the heck can anyone win from a game like this? Bewildered, puzzled, but curious, I gave the game a few hours of fun play. Needless to say, the payouts in the base game hardly exceeded 1x the staked amount! Oh sheeesh! The Free Spins game starts with 7 free spins without any multipliers, aaaargh...but the Wilds are Sticky ones like those in Dead Or Alive! Whoopie! The only thing that I like about this game! Hahaha. And yes, the Free Spins game can be retriggered too, if that's any consolation. I couldn't get any retriggers at all. How about the payouts? Hmmm, how do you like getting wins of 10x, 13x, 16x and thereabouts? Damn disappointing low! That's the kind of wins you'd get during normal gameplay. Don't ask me how it would pay during its bad times...I hate to even think about it! So, after a few hours on the game, I was ready to call it a day with this Glorious Empire game... everything about the payouts was lame...the 'decent' payouts were a shame...but then this finally came... I got 5 Scatters to trigger 15 free spins!!!...but got paid only $80 for those 5 Scatters...aaaargh! 11 Sticky Wilds were already accumulated on the 8th spin, with 7 more free spins to play... so I was expecting a super huge payout with those 11 Wilds x 7 times more... by the end of the 15 free spins, the final payout was only $564...or 564x the total bet amount! Aaaargh! But those Sticky Wilds do show good potentials though...if they can come often and frequently...but yet to be seen... then I can finally say "goodbye Dead Or Alive!"...and "welcome Glorious Empire!" I have found a new Sticky Wild game to play!
