Playtech slots

[Andy]

For reasons i dont want to go into (I was conned) I have 900 Euros in a playtech casino, and i have 7000 Euros to wager from here to withdraw it.

Does anyone have the best slot game to play to just hold onto your balance, ie the equivalent of cosmic cat if it was a microgaming?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Funnily enough I'm playing a Playtech at the moment (a pretty rare occurrence for me!), trying to wager $7,600 from a $190 start...

I'm NOT recommending any of their slots, because I haven't played them enough to get an accurate assessment, but most seem to be pretty low variance.

Here's my story so far (half way through WR) Wagered / +/- result
Queen of Pyramids (HIGH variance, progressive!) 56/-37
Thrill Seekers (HIGH variance, 50-lines) 75/-35
Alien Hunter; Had masses of bonus features & 3 big wins, but then it died; 600/+260

So now I was nearly $200 up and thought I would play some cards for turn-over...
PaiGow (142 hands, $5/$10 bets) 710/-93 - is Playtech's PaiGow rigged or what?
Stud Poker ($1-$3 antes) 319/-85 - Ludicrous runs of no-hand's
3-Card ($1-$3 + $2 antes) 422/+52 - Happier with that, obviously!

FruitMania (HIGH variance progressive); Had a big feature win 177/+30
Rock n Roller (3 reel/5line) & Ugga Bugger (10 x multispin) are CRAP - don't go there. 76/-17
Geisha Story (15 lines) 50/+2
20 line slots:-
Desert Treasure; did not get the free-spins feature, so 193/-65
A Night Out; did get free-spins, so 170/+44
Dr.Lovemore; Got spins 3 times in 134 pulls and was $71 up, but then it died for 125 spins... 217/+31
In between I played Fruit Mania again 94/-33 and Pachinko (the weirdest 'slot' on the net - got the jackpot (there are only 2 prizes; Bet x 4 & bet x 1500), but I was only betting 2c, so won $30! ???/+9

I haven't tried the rest of the 25 line slots yet.
So far; total wagered = $3,532, result = +$10 (Bear in mind I lost $126 playing cards!)

I know you wont want to spend hours working this like I do, and that you bet big, but to win on slots does need some patience & strategy.
So my advice (no promises here!) is pick one of those 20-line slots and play at least 100 spins at your minimum bet. If you don't get a bonus feature, double your bets for 50 spins. No feature = add same amount again for 50 spins, etc...
If at any time you get a good feature or line win and are ahead, stop & change slots!
Or try Alien Hunter, but reduce the number of spins by 2.

Good luck & please let me know what happens!
PS: I've never played Cosmic Cat - what's so good about it?

This is my bet x1500 win... Honestly! You just have to trust me here!

Thanks for that KK, for your information I got to 1200 Euros playing Bonus Bear (think its called that, its a 20 line slot) and hit the feature and climbed all the way up the tree. It had reasonably low variance to that point as well, i seemed to win something almost every spin. But then after that big feature win in dropped 300 Euros at warp speed so i was looking for something to hold it. I will try what you say :-)

Cosmic Cat is a three reel, one win line slot, which basically does not win you much ever, but you get lots and lots of mid sized wins. Mac has more eperiance with it than me but basically we would have used Thunderstruck to hit a win somewhere, then use cosmic cat to just hold the balance until we could withdraw.

Coincidently I tried Bonus Bears for the first time ever this morning (before reading your post).
It seemed like an OK game at first - I got a 'tree climb' feature early on - so I did my usual plan as described above, looking for the free-spins...

But the B'stard went 274 spins with no features, and when I did get one it was tree-climb again & I only got 1 pot! After that I was $87 down on the game & bricking it (having just done 124 $1 spins).
I thought "Flip it" I AM going to get those free-spins, so carried on... 6 spins later I hit the top prize!!!

$204 from a $1 spin:-
Attachment 87


33 spins later I FINALLY got the free-spins, but they paid a crappy $12.60 from a $1 spin.
So that just goes to show - I am a very lucky bugger!

lol, it is a frustrating game isnt it. I got 500 Euros from the tree feature but it was at 12.5 Euro a spin because i was in a hit or bust mood that morning and just wanted it over with. I expected to bust, which is why i now have the dilemma of how do i keep these 900 Euros as the wagering is still 7k but thats not impossible to do im sure.

cosmic cat isnt what youd play for excitement KK but is good for grinding. if they dont have that go for barbar black sheep. you can play cc at 25p a spin and it spins quick
If youve won a few hundred on the videos aka thunderstruck then grind on the cat.
yes i said it grind on the cat.
thundercats hoooooooooooooo!

Are you smoking again Mike?

Well I finally finished my WR last night (yes, it really does take me that long! )

I managed to keep my balance slowly rising until with only $660 of my $7,600 wagering to go my bank was at $513. But then, as is all too often the case, I told myself to low-roll to WR point - but didn't and blew $131... Stupid!

Anyway, the post-wager $190 bonus was added instantly the moment I met WR (I really like that feature with Playtech casinos!), taking my balance to $572.

I felt so good about making it, I went back to play a bit more on my favourite slots to try to get to $600... you can guess the rest! Bank dropped rapidly to $500 - so I hit the cashout button!
Pretty stupid way to end I know - but I like a gamble me!
The cash arrived in my Neteller today.

Stats:-
PaiGow; Wagered $1,214 - Lost $110
Stud: Wagered $319 - Lost $85
3-Card; Wagered $422 - Gained $52
Let 'em Ride; Wagered $100 - Gained $11
All the rest was on Slots; Wagered $5,709 - Gained $252 (could have easily been $200-ish more if I wasn't so silly at the end).
Nett Result; Deposited $190 - Cashed out $500 - Profit = $310.

This was at Better Casino, if anyone is interested.
SUB = 100% to £100 / €140 / $190. WR (D+B)x20 Post Wager!!
No Roul, Bacc, Sic Bo, Craps, Hold 'Em, VP, Pontoon & all forms of Blackjack.
So that means PaiGow, Stud, 3-card, Ride, War, Red-Dog & slots count at 100%.

KK.

Im jealous now, i blew the 900 Euros i had in about 5k of wagering but that was flat betting about 2.5 or 1.25 a spin, i varied it depending on the games. Hmm, i wish i had your patience.

So what playtech slot would you recommend for:

A) Pre bonus
B) Post bonus
C) Grind after A or B
D) Cover play
