The "Wild Blood 2" game though... lol, that doesn't look AT ALL like Immortal Romance does it? I'm off to try Money Train 2 now, that definitely looks like my kind of entertainment!

IMHO, Wild Blood 2 although not having that insane winning potential we all have seen from IR, is still quite a decent slot game where you can hit pretty fast 2-3 200x+ wins in a matter of few features. One of Play'N Go's most well-balanced games I have ever played. Beware thou, if you don't get at least a single feature during your first 100 spins, it means you will most likely face one of those Wild Blood's cycles where hitting a feature might takes ages, hundreds of spins and most important, lots of your balance. On he bright side, hit ALL my mega wins during these cycles.

Beat The Beast - Griffin's Gold by Thunderkick and my first decent hit ever on any of the Beat the Beast slots. 

@Fiekie247-san, I know you are a fan of the BTB slots so would greatly appreciate your thoughts about it if you had any experience already. Thanks. 

Hi V

Let's start with the first release:

Beat the Beast: Mighty Spinx - My Best most significant hits came from this release. Triggering Bonus can happen more often and easily since that random feature kicks in on any spin where it adds 1 - 3 scatters to the reels, to assist triggering free spins (Similar to the feature we see in Pink Elephants). I love this first release, I did not hit 1000x yet, however, I have way more x250 - 700 hits on this slot. The game at times can keep a steady balance during the base game and what makes free spins interesting is the extra 1 -2 wild scatter symbols on the reels assist with re-trigger as well as extra wilds to the reel, where you can easily hit x1000 for 5 of kind wilds.

Beast the Beast: Kraken Lair - This slot has the biggest potential for me personally as you can hit the 1000 -  x2500 easily in the base game if you are lucky without the need for free spins, however with that said, you need to prepare a good starting balance of 200x your bet size. The base game has a lot of empty spins, scatters are missing from the reels(They Hardly land), so triggering free spins is extremely difficult.

Beat the Beast: Cerberus Inferno - Extremely difficult to trigger the bonus, no decent hits like x100 or so at all. Only played free spins once as It takes on average x400 spins to trigger for me. I like the 243 pay ways during free spins, that is true potential with x3 wild reels on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Beast the Beast: Quetzatcoat'l Trial - By far the less volatile release. I can easily bonus this slot 3/4 times in 100 spins compare to the rest. Plays similar like those slots like Eye of Horus where during free spins collecting wilds, turn high paying symbols into the highest paying symbol for big wins and we know the highest paying symbols pay well on this slot as well, so I would rate this as a medium to high variance and good for wagering.

Beat the Beast: Griffin Gold - The concept was great, I mean up to 3 wilds with x125 multiplier potential(Makes you think of Jon Chan's Pond of Riches Right). This slot has potential and the average bonus trigger happens around x200 - 250 spins. This slot has by the far the highest payout potential and I like the fact that you can trigger extra spins by getting winning spins with a wild and with wins create by 2 symbols matching makes this very easy. Paytable slightly on the lower side, however still huge winning potential.

My biggest hits
Beat the Beast - Mighty Spinx - x771
Beat the Beast - Kraken's Lair - x1280
Beat the Beast - Cerberus Inferno - x62
Beast the Beast Quetzatcoat'l Trial - x442
Beast the Beast Griffin Gold - Around x300 somewhere.

My Overall Overview

Beat the Beast was a great series release by Thunderkick with highly volatile slots and extremely good winning potential. The pay tables for premium symbols are brilliant which reminds me of the good old days when x5 of kind top paying symbol or wild pays 5000 or 10000 x your bet line. High paying symbols pay anything from x250 - 500x for 5 of a good kind.

My only disappointment is the fact that these slots have such huge potential and a low max cap win. They advertise on the first 4 releases win up to between x5555 and x7777 your total bet - For such great slots the potential winning cap is extremely low - Sounds exactly like Play'n Go which limits 90% of their slots max win to x5000.

Only Griffin has a winning potential of over x20 000 and I feel all of these should have between x10 000 - x20 000 at least since they are a series first of all and the fact that they design, concept and exceptional ideas embedded in these slots by Thunderkick was executed very well. Perfectly balanced with a excellent winning potential and brilliant graphics!

Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback Fiekie-san, appreciate that!

Had an appalling session last night with Beat The Beast Griffin's Gold which put all BTB slots into my gambling freezer from now on regardless their hypothetical potential. I mean, I know what a cold slot means but spending $1000 on 2-dollar bets with a SINGLE feature only which paid off the astonishing win of 2,5x bet after 780 spins went well beyond some of my worst ever experiences with a RNG controlled slot game. Obviously the game demonstrated extreme volatility which doesn't really suit its paytable, nor the base game payout, neither the advertised max win potential.  

Will avoid like plague from now on.

i got a 756x on this particular game just yesterday. To be quite honest, from what i see, the bonus is going to be good if u manage to trigger it in the first 25 spins.  Didnt spend much on this slot as well. I think in my opinion, inferno is the most difficult game i had among the rest you guys mentioned. Game can really give nothing in the bonus feature.

I have given Inferno a few thousand spins and 1 single bonus feature which was not even 100x, I put that one in my freezer for sure.

Quetzatcoatl trial is still the best IMHO and congrats on the win. To be honest, that Riders of the Storm is becoming the worst from Thunderkick TBH.

Regarding Inferno, I'd rather Chase a wild line on DOA 2 instead or a heart stopper on Lil Devil, games that still holds a decent game play.

Sorry to hear, however somehow the tend to take the money back. Jin Chan's Pond Riches is right now the number 1 in my books and that Crystal Deep Jungle Quest

BTW - How is your sessions on Riders of the storm these days, I cannot simply bonus this game at all, even after 100's of spins in a session and that random feature, always 1 wild reel.

I like riders of the storm. I get the bonus quite easy. Never managed to get the wild feature in the bonus feature. Worst of the thunderkick for me is the one and only, slot called divine lotus. When it comes to lil devil that is the game that i never touched after 10 attempts (hearts included)

[ValDes]

Riders of the Storm is completely dead for me in the last couple of months - hitting FS features takes 500+ spins in average which is insane. And when you finally live the day to hit one it pays either crap or mediocre at best. The game is not just cold, it's dead, totally dead! 

I still believe all BTB slots are total waste of time tbh but this one, Quetzatcoatl, has been the worst one among them. It took 1130 spins to trigger FS feature which paid off the astonishing amount of 5x bet! The next one came lightning fast in comparison with the first one, took no more than 400 spins and paid off significantly better - 35x bet! No way touching this game ever again!  

In general, those of you being here for longer know I've always been a huge fan of Thunderkick but I just cannot recognize one of my favorite providers anymore... Yeah, I know, could be just me and all that luck-noluck game, but still, for someone who made countless amount of spins with their games, it's just something that doesn't really add up. That's why decided to put the entire Thunderkick slots portfolio deep deep down into my gambling 'freezer' and have no intentions to change my mind until I start to see a flood of winner screenshots posted here and there. 

[Afi4wins]

I'm afraid the scenario is basically the same with all providers! 

My few favourite Playtech games have been playing and paying absolutely atrociously for the last many months...frequently taking 700-800 spins to trigger one free spins game, at times taking just short of 2000 spins, and yet paying no more than 40x. Any feature game that comes within 100 spins, which is now rare, almost certainly would not pay more than 40x either.

There is not a single provider that's in my favourite list now!

[Fiekie247]

Honest @ValDes and @Afi4wins
When I play with Bonus Funds - I do not know which way to turn and left completely clueless, I am not sure which slots to play, or which provider, right now No Limit City and Push Gaming, still plays the best for me, Play n Go not sure which ones to play , as I only play their oldest ones. I just play Jin Chan Ponds Riches from Thunderkick these days and some old school Netent to kill wager, but at times I am not sure where to touch, then I head over to Red Tiger.

But as Afi has said, the same across them all, however Quickspin seem to have released a couple of good slots lately .

Hey folks  

My weekend session was a bit different this time, switching from playing my favorites to trying out as many new releases as possible. 

Overall, pretty poor experience with one major exception called Maze Escape Megaways by Fantasma provider. I find the game concept as really interesting and tbh, even rather addictive. The slot 'behaviour' seems quite balanced with features coming relatively often (got 21 features in less than 2500 spins) which is something that needs to praised nowadays. And the most important, the winning potential is not just imaginary, it's actually there and even showing up twice during my sessions.  Overall, one of the best new releases I've tried recently.

[ValDes]

Forgot to mention that my total after 2500+ spins on a dollar bet is actually a profit of almost $750. Something that didn't happen with a new slot release test session/s for ages.

It may be a typically good session on a new slot game for you Guru-san, but lets see how it plays after this. I think you can guess how slots tend to behave after a fresh session...badly.

Wish you were right mate but I'm afraid my 'regular day at the slot office' will end up with 2-3 lost deposits rather then with a hefty withdrawal.

Agree, that's why decided to share my experience with you folks and see if you had the chance to try and to see how it's gonna behave later.

For that, I'll have to leave the testing bit to be done by others...I'm not gonna touch any slots, new or old, except for my very few Playtech games at my local Asian-based casino. This way, I can control my gambling expenses...no money, no play! 

[Blackjax]

@Afi4wins what did you do with all the money that you won through that playtech Mr Cashback hack? Just a bit curious. Was it life changing money or just enough to spend on shopping.

I tried this slot last week, fresh out of the new slots list. I managed to trigger 4-5 bonuses with medium bets. Biggest win i had was a 40x win. Tbh i wanted to share my experience with this slot with you guys but i forgot all about it. For me personally it was a cold cold cold slot. I was indeed amazed you won in this slot! Good win btw! 

[Blackjax]

@ValDes hi mate. Is there a topic here where people can post a review of a slot based on their personal experience. I am not asking about the general reviews that we have about every  slot. But just a an entire thread dedicated to a newly launched slot. Would  like to leave personal reviews of a few new slots.

You can always start a new topic on any new slot that you wish to talk about...others would then join in and give their opinions. This is what and how we have been doing in this forum so far mate.

Interesting question! Hahaha. 

Was it a life changing win? NO! Simply because the wins were accumulated over each month, bit by bit, so there wasn't really any one-time big amount to make it life changing. 

Was it just enough to spend on shopping? YES and NO! Yes, I could have spent the money to buy many things, but I didn't. I only bought one item...this darling laptop of mine...and it's coming to 7 years old next April! I never was, or am, any good at spending my money on buying things!!! 

What did I do with all my winnings, besides that one purchase? I withdrew some into my bank account, I paid up and settled some outstanding loans, and the rest was history...they all eventually went back to casinos!
