Things that suck about playing slots

[Flatzem]

All the things that suck about playing slots in no particular order.

 

#1. low paying features (especially after taking too many spins to trigger)

#2. features taking too many spins to trigger

#3. slot crashing requiring a player to reload the slot

#4. slot providers not fixing bugs with their slots leading to #3

#5. slots that have visual/audio glitches

#6. not able to turn off music on some slots (eg some BTG slots)

#7. slots with irritating sounds/music.

#8. losing money on slots (especially if it is a slot that was put on a ban list)

#9. winning on a slot and not being happy about the win cause it could have been so much more if a different symbol landed somewhere etc.

#10. not able to trigger a feature.

#11. features that pay less than base game wins.

#12. not always able to leave a dead cold slot and thus losing more on it than should

#13. a slot suddenly switching from playing well to being dead cold like a switch went off and suddenly all good base game wins are gone and no chance of triggering a feature.

#14. near misses if only a symbol was in a different position.

#15. getting so many double scatters but just not able to get the 3rd or 4th (depending on slot played).

#16. not getting any scatters as if they just disappeared from the reels.

#17. lowering of slot RTP by some providers and casinos.

#18. removal of some slots by providers.

#19. a slot not being available on some sites.

#20. bet size increments being too high.

#21. not able to select numbers of lines on some slots.

#22. horrible sound of novomatic slots as the reels comes to a stop, that thud sound. (worst sounding slot sounds ever)

#23. dead spins, especially when they are consecutive, 5, 10, 15 or more.

#24. spins that result in losses disguised as wins, they still make a nice sound as if it was a win but its really a loss.

#25. 0x features, why program that result ? so disrespectful by the providers to allow that in especially when it says "congratulations you won 0.00"

#26. slots that run too slow on older computers. (some won't run at all) (why not let the player turn off most/all of the animations? that was an adjustable setting on some slots in the past!)

#27. slot playing takes time away from and interferes with other activities.

 

 

so many better things to do than spending time and money on slots.

Agree to all the above mate, but I also hate how Netent games tend to take ages to start up its game after finishing the loading up process, leaving me staring at the green bar, at times on a blank black screen. Other provider's games can start faster but why not Netent's??? 

For me, the thing that bothers me the most is not being able to select my playlines (almost all providers).

Next would be games that may take over 1600 spins to trigger a free spins game (BTG).

Followed by games that require a high minimum starting bet size.

I don't like the jump from 0.01 to 0.05 cents coin value, which costs me 5x more to raise my bet size.

And lastly, games that play with multi-reels and multi-rows.

Hence I play only on my few OLDIE games and avoid all newer games.

Agree with 99% of what's stated in the above posts!  

@Flatzem, great idea for a forum discussion mate!

About the number 14. I think if.im not mistaken that eventhough it looks like a near miss, in reality it's far away from it. All of this due to the double lines that the programm has.

'Congratulaions you have won 0.' - After a bonus feature ends.

I had that a lot on microgaming slots like six acrobats, break da bank again, dragonz etc.

Bad programming for the ones that say that - might seem a small thing but still a bit poor. I've been annoyed by less.

Now that is just one example of A.I...artificial incompetence!
