MG Q & A (IR, TSII)

[sorenjo]

Hey

 

The title might be a bit vague. I have some questions about mg-slots and I hope you have the answers

The combinations which are marked with yellow are the I have unlocked right? Does anything special happen when all has been unlocked?

The next question goes for both IR and TSII. In the left corner it says that a wild symbol doubles any win. If 5 wild symbols appear does it multiply the win 32x? (2x2x2x2x2=32x)?

What feature is your favourite for this slot?

In IR it is Amber and Troy. So naturally I choose Valkyrie and Odin for this one

 

And finally. Which games are similar to these but with different skins.

 

Thanks in advance

Correct! These are the wins you've already acheived. Now regarding what happens when you unlock all of them. I once asked this question a few years ago on IM when I come really close to getting them all. But I still don't know the answer as to whether or not anything happens once you unlock them all! 5 wilds and 5 scatters are pretty hard to get, I doubt I'll ever unlock these in my lifetime.

 

 

 

The next question goes for both IR and TSII. In the left corner it says that a wild symbol doubles any win. If 5 wild symbols appear does it multiply the win 32x? (2x2x2x2x2=32x)?

 

Hmmm..I'm not sure on this one. We'll have to await someone more knowledable for an answer to this

 

 

 

What feature is your favourite for this slot?

 

I've never unlocked Thor! My favourite feature is Valkryie, as is Amber on IM

Yes, like Sharon already explained those marked in yellow are winning combinations you have already achieved during your play sessions with the game. Keep in mind that these so called 'achievements' are kept on the Microgaming servers for your account at the relevant casino for about 30 days. Not 100% sure about the exact number of days but roughly a month or so... 

 

Sorry to disappoint, but after you unlock all the listed winning combinations happens... nothing. Unless you are playing in BetAT for example who give a 1000 reward for achieving this at both IR and TSII.

 

 

 

The next question goes for both IR and TSII. In the left corner it says that a wild symbol doubles any win. If 5 wild symbols appear does it multiply the win 32x? (2x2x2x2x2=32x)?

 

Nope, if you ever hit a 5-wild win each and every of the winning combinations within this particular spin will be calculated separately - [(win.comb. 1)+ (win.comb. 2)+.... (win. comb. 243)]. Every win containing one or more wilds will be multiplied x2, only x2. Also, is we assume that win.com. X is the one wwhich most of us here dream of, the 5 wilds, it will pay what's written in the paytable, 1000 coins, and there will be no multiplies of course.

 

 

 

And finally. Which games are similar to these but with different skins.

 

The same 'skin' is being used by Thunderstruck II, Immortal Romance, Finer Reels of Life, Playboy, Jurassic Park... Hope some of the fellow members here will add to the list any game that I missed.

 

Hoe that helps mate, but in case you have further questions don't hesitate asking.

Disappointing to hear that nothing happens! It's a bit of a pointless feature, I honestly thought that your wins would be higher once you unlocked them all. And now I remember that you had already told me this in the past 

[sorenjo]

Very disapointing indeed. Does these Finer Reels of Life, Playboy, Jurassic Park also have 4 different bonus features to pick from? I actually think I have one to add, Game of Thrones? 243 ways

[MacdoniS]

 How about Avalon II, Game of Thrones and Dark Knight Rises just to name familiar 243 slot games.

Adventure type slots (slot feature) are exciting and stimulates the mind to play again and again. If I'm not mistaken there's a psychological explanation about this but I don't remember and they compare it to the story telling and majority of the people loves storytelling. Speaking of this pointless feature, this explains why classical slots are way better than the modern slots they're direct to the point example winnings. In the end what matter most is how you enjoy playing it and this explains the enjoyment of features.

[raverbabe]

There's a whole tonne of games that use the 243 ways system but there's quite a few differences between the various slots mentioned so far. Immortal Romance is much higher variance than Thunderstruck 2 for example and has a higher maximum win and the free spins rounds are somewhat different in Playboy and Jurassic Park as well. What they all have in common though is that the big wins are all tied up in the features and it's possible to go hundreds of spins without seeing the scatters sometimes, so although I love to play these games I only do so when I've got a real big starting balance!

 

Think all the original questions have been answered, about the five wilds one though, you might not get a 32x multiplier but you are guaranteed to win a five of a kind on at least 81 ways which makes for some huge hits, you'll have to wait a real long time though as you already saw you haven't even had 3 of them as yet and I think I've only had all five twice on all of these games combined
 

Also, you like the Odin feature?? I really hate that one, it almost never gives me both ravens and I can't even remember many >100x stake hits from that feature. I like Valkyrie and Loki best, even if Loki does make me scream when the "Wild Magic" refuses to appear even once in the whole 15 spins!!

[sorenjo]

I haven't had many big wins with Odin either, but it is basically like the Troy feature, and I have had some big hits there, so I think it's only a question of time  

 

Some of these games have amazing random feature.

 

Immortal Romance: Wild Desire

Thunderstruck II: Wild Storm

Finer reels of life: Champagne celebration

 

Do any other MG game have this feature?

[raverbabe]

In Playboy the stacked wilds don't activate randomly during the base game but you can opt for 25 free spins with the possibility of a "wild desire" on every spin... In practice though your lucky to see it more than about five times, but I've definitely had more 3 reel hits in Playboy than any of the other games despite this.

[sorenjo]

Ahhh I see. Playboy is only available in one casino here in Denmark (Annacasino) but I haven't been able to play it yet. Is the game too pornographical?

 

I have played the finer reels of life for the first time ever today, and I was a bit dissapointed. At least when you compare it to TSII and IR

[raverbabe]

TFROL is a higher variance game so it's possible to win a little more but at the expense of lower payouts for the smaller combinations. I find the Wild Wine to be more generous than in TS2 though.

 

Playboy isn't really "pornographical" lol, it's very tame considering the theme actually.

[sorenjo]

The wild wine function has freaked me out today xD Sometimes you just need a wild on reel 2 to get a big win, and then it just fills reel 3 with wilds or other stupid stuff, maybe that's why I don't enjoy the Loki feature xD

In my opinion neither of these 2 games are any good! I've never really had any luck on both of them!

[sorenjo]

One more for the road. If I play Odin or Troy and receive 2x and 3x and a wild symbol. Will the win be multiplied 12x?

[ValDes]

I think all of the so called Thunderstruck II 'clonings' to be with the same TRTP and it's somewhere in the region of 96.5 - 97.00%. The small difference of 0.5% comes from the special game features such as the Wild Desire, ThunderStorm etc where each and every of these features has a different max possible win potential...

 

All the above is unofficial info though as Microgaming does not include RTP info within the relevant game's help file like NetEnt for example.

Don't know about Odin, but for Troy, yes, the 2x gets multiplied with the 3x, giving a 6x win. 

[ValDes]

Yes, I think so. There are in fact some Troy feature winners posted here so you might double check just be 100% sure.

[raverbabe]

Both Playboy and TFRoL have the variance turned up to "frightening", but not much more so than Immortal Romance. I've had some big hits on both games, certainly higher in terms of xStake than TS2, which I think I've played a whole lot more for some reason. I tend to go for Playboy every time now though, unless I'm feeling really crazy with a huge balance in which case I go for TFRoL. Wild Wine all the way, though I'm still waiting for my four/five reels on that game

[sorenjo]

four/five reels? reels full of wilds?

[raverbabe]

Yes ...

I've had three reels only once on TS2, the Wild Storm seems REALLY tight and more than 2 reels is EXREMELY rare.

I've had four reels on IR two times, and three reels at least five or six times... not always huge wins, but its nice just to get them all the same!

TFRoL has given me three reels two or three times I think, and

Playboy, I've had four reels once, and three reels quite a few times in the 25 spins Wild Night feature ... plus four wild reels in the Sofia running wilds feature a couple of times as well.

[sorenjo]

Ahh yes. Yes the wildstorm feature is very tight. I have only had two wild reels

[raverbabe]

I wonder why that is, that TS2 gives three or more reels so infrequently? It's not like three reels is a *guarantee* of a huge win, 1/3/5, 1/4/5, 1/2/5, lots of combinations can result in nothing more than just a three of a kind anyway... and IR seems to like giving those "unlucky" three reelers quite a lot so why not TS2?

[sorenjo]

I don't know. Good question It probably has something to do about RTP

[cocopop3011]

Not only is the feature tight but in my experience of playing TSII which has mainly been from a mobile device this feature hardly every triggers. I've experienced this feature very, VERY few times in comparison to a ton of times on IM.
