@Fiekie247 In my opinion, Madame Destiny does not qualify as a spooky or scary game. She's a fortune teller who tells fate and destiny, good luck and bad luck, but has nothing to do with halloween. Maybe @cocopop3011 has other opinions.

I've been busy with LCB (don't tell @cocopop3011). I cashed out from Snatch!

Here's my night out with the blood-lusty Vamps, be careful though they will bite at the sight of humans!

For the cold-blooded, cold-hearted and for the ones living in cold places they won't bother you! For some reason they like Yetis! 

The first 6 - 7 free spins were dead till the bonus resurrected.

Base, gamble and free spins can be cruel as Loceff and Afi mentioned!

Wow. You got CAD249 Just from one spin.

Now I'm wondering what would have happened if I chose to gamble the free spins for the doubled multiplier! It's been on my mind since.

@Icy Very simple bro. Had you gambled it and lost, you would have lost that CAD249 win. If you won, you may have gotten a bit more, or about the same amount, simply because all wins have been predetermined whenever you get any feature game.

So, after yesterdays miserable session on Ineffective Wild, I shifted my attention towards the latest monthly Big Bass release, namely, the 87th slot in the series; BB Halloween II - a replica of BB Splash and BB Bash which are titles I actually quite like although Amazon, Floats, and Hold & Spinner remains my top-3, so I sat down feeling almost hopeful even though I chainsawed myself in the foot right from the start by choosing a 94% version to play (none of my go-to casinos had any attractive deposit bonuses so I went with VegasNow - the latest monthly Dama NV release,  the 1304th in the series, who sucked me in with their 150%).

I knew it wasn't going to be pretty, because you all know Pragmatic - they let you win for a few days (and indeed I had some really good 1000x-ish wins over the past week: Happy Hooves, Infective Wild, Mustang Gold, Great Rhino Megaways, you name it) and then follows weeks or sometimes months of merciless nothingness! I did have a faint hope the slots would still be switched on though, since there's a Pragmatic/AG promo running and all!

Anyway, I managed as many as 10,000 auto turbo spins, playing at the 0.2 stake level, chance x2 disabled.

The bonus tally was 75 - if my maths aren't too off, that equals to 1 every 133rd spin. That's close enough to the announced 1 in 113! However, I never made it to the x10 stage. In fact, I hardly even made it to x3 - maybe 3 or 4 times. That's atrocious! And this even when I had the full set of enhancers too - but let's face it, these enhancers don't affect the outcome at all, they are there for added excitement alone (or rather, added frustration!)  

I spent NOK 20,000 and it returned NOK 15,800 - this means my session result was 79%, fairly common when the Pragmatics are switched off.

The base game was decent enough, I saw a few full lines of good symbols, even the 200x one twice, and the near full screen fishes appear ever so often as well, and then you are also looking at an 80-200x. Still, only a handful of decent wins, and not a single one over 214x in 10,000 spins is quite the let-down, I must say!  Much of this is because the bonuses were so incredibly dire, once it's paid its 10-40x, it just stops. Time and again. You could have it by the first couple of free spins, and then you can be sure nothing more will happen. The worst part was when I had 15 spins and made it to level 2 within the first 5 spins at level 1. Every single following spin was completely dead! And not to mention that on one of these spins, a bit into level 2, the double fisherman landed on a blank screen yet the More Hooks and Explosions didn't activate! I mean, seriously, what kind of wicked design is that?

I also noticed a glitch or an oversight. When you have a win line and the 2-scatter respin activates, you will forfeit the win you rightfully just landed. In my case, it was only a few skeletal birds worth 2x or so, but this means, in theory, you could land a 200x full line of the car only to have 2 scatters elsewhere on the board start nudging down and overwrite your win! - To no avail, most likely. I got the 3rd scatter from the respins feature less than 1 in 10 times.

I don't want to use the word abysmal about this slot and it has some elements that capture the horror theme really well. And Big Bass will be Big Bass. You hate them with a passion, for long periods at a time, but then, that one lovely day, they just go nuts and give you those awesome wins on x10 and all is forgiven   Will that be the case with BB Halloween II too? I don't know, but I intend to find out! I'll be back for more tomorrow, and now it owes me! I do have to YOLO the remaining balance at VegasNow though and move on to a proper casino - these 94% slots are horror incarnate - all year through, not only by Halloween!

 

Pretty rough week in general when it comes to Pragmatic slots. I feel like I'm locked into some kind of 60% cycle of spins and the only question is how much damage will it do before I've spun through it! 

Halloween slots are especially horrendous, but then again, that's the theme isn't it. I've had to scrap BB Halloween II altogether. The trend was clear over the first 10k spins but I was determined to keep playing it for a while longer. However, when the trend over the next set of spins, like 7,500 more, was that it actually just got worse, it's time to bury it for good. It reminds me of Dog or Alive, which was one of the dullest, least engaging slots of the year, and now they've gone and done it again.

I've been playing Day of Dead and Zombie Carnival the most. Infective Wild is too expensive - although a real exciting slot! - while Vampires vs Wolves just won't keep me excited for long even if that high volatility free spins option is very interesting. BB Halloween (the original) hasn't paid in at least half a year and doesn't really have much potential anyway.  Curse of the Werewolf just takes forever to bonus and lacks multipliers too. Vampy Party is just silly. Other than that, I couldn't really find any Halloween slots to play. Pragmatic don't really do horror very well.

The closest I've come to a real good win was this 652x on Zombie Carnival just now. I didn't calculate, but with another top symbol clown on the last reel too, I'm sure we'd have had a new 1st place in the contest!

Are you down a lot (in red)?

Well, almost a full week running on 60% rtp is pretty red, yeah  But this happens from time to time, personally I think there is no way around it. If you try and wait it out, it'll be there waiting for you when you return, so I believe in spinning through it and reap the rewards somewhere further down the road

@marius1978 I do believe that is the correct way of playing slots - ride out the wintry season and wait for the summer to come. I do exactly the same way with my Playtech games too, for god knows how many donkey years already.

my halloween themed pragmatics have been giving me just under 70% RTP and it's been mostly on the 94%ish RTP versions. worst culprit was that blardy Zombie Carnival. RTP 37% on that. all features on it paying less than 16x.

Why do you guys even play the low RTP version of the games?

You need casinos with good bonus offers to play for comps like this. Unfortunately casinos that give these offers have low rtp version slots.

The gross thing is you might be gambling a 8x max win feature into 16x that pays 3.5x etc lol.

I wouldn't even touch a lower RTP version.

If you check the stats of transparent studios, the difference between 94% and 96% is massive.

e.g.

96% = 1 in 267 > FS

94% = 1 in 500+ > FS

96% = 1 in FS 1500 > max win

94% = 1 in FS 4000 > max win

(I think the best example is your recent experience with x7)

Keep in mind, the RTP is being calculated among billions and billions and billions of spins.

----

Make sure to play regularly at a handful of Casinos, those will always happily give you some solid bonuses - shall it be a match deposit or tons of FS or high bet FS:)

@cocopop3011 @Icy @Blackjax 

I have just come across a casino that list out all of Pragmatic Play Halloween games. See screenshot below.

Take note that MAGIC CAULDRON is NOT in the list and shouldn't actually qualify for this contest. It's not a spooky game, and that Dark Portion brew in the game could simply refer to a mystery portion.

[Blackjax]

@cocopop3011 you had  mentioned clearly in your terms for contest as if anyone tries to create unnecessary squabble during contest you will ban them from Competition. Its high time you apply this rule so other members learn a lesson for future. 

@cocopop3011 you have already confirmed the slot as a Halloween slot so I dont understand the crying. What authority does one casino have over 10000+ other casinos to decide what is Halloween or not? Please ban the forum member from competition like you said in your previous post.

[Blackjax]

This!!!

Confirmation of Cauldrons as part of Halloween. So @cocopop3011 has already confirmed it.

[Afi4wins]

@cocopop3011  I'm not squabbling nor trying to cause arguments here. As before (in @ales200 case), I'm merely stating my opinion on any game that I don't think should qualify for this Halloween contest. I don't think Magic Cauldron qualifies.

That Potion of Darkness merely means that only high value symbols come into play for that brew. Nothing spooky, nothing, scary, and nothing wicked about those brewed potions either -  they are similar to Magician Secret brews.
