Slot volatility assumptions gone Wrong

[Blackjax]

About 5 years ago when I started online gambling my only source to find new games was YouTube. I used to look at YouTube videos and decide which slot to play. While surfing YouTube I came across this slot called warlords and fell in love with it. For the ones unfamiliar, warlords is a 30 line 5 reel slot by netent. The slot is an ancient war themed slot with great graphics and since I only used to play micro gaming and playtech slots before it was quite appealing. One of the exciting things about the way bonus landed. The slot had three features which landed a bonus feature according to the characters. Blue scatter would land  Barbarian feature where you get 3 spins for every scatter plus all low paying symbols removed. Green scatter triggered  priestess bonus where you get one multiplier per scatter. Red scatter would trigger samurai bonus where every scatter becomes sticky wild. If you get two scatters of different colors there would be a battle and after both the scatters become of same color you either had s chance of getting more scatters or a cash win. When I saw this game on YouTube this was the only game I wanted to play. 

My first session on this game was decent as I made a £30 profit on this. Next time I did a little bigger bets and lost it all. Then every time I played this game I only had bad sessions the game had such bad volatility that landing two scatters was also impossible. Even when the bonus landed it would pay bad. The Barbarian bonus could give you 100+ spins but would still pay less than 70x, the priestess symbol would never connect more than 3 symbols of the low paying symbols meanwhile the samurai bonus of sticky wild would not even give you a chance of connection.

This slot was one of my biggest mistakes as I decided to play this slot without reading the review and just went by videos. Feel free to list all slots that you had assumed would pay really high but ended up disappointing you.

What an interesting way to find games - on YouTube. Honestly, I have never done this and when I first started playing I would never read reviews, I'd play what I liked the look of and hope for the best. 

Over time, the experience came and of course, I started making a list of my favourites. I accidentally discovered slots whilst playing online bingo, a game called Houdini. Managed to win and withdraw £200 the first time I played and from there, there was no looking back. 

In regards to games that have disappointed me, there have been too many for me to even list but honestly, the provider that disappointed me the most that I thought would be a hit is Play'n GO. When everyone was raving about them, I just couldn't win a dime.
