BigWin Minbet requirement in euros like the old promos I'm assuming,  great to see another lower bet comp thats harder for the big boys to win

[TheSchwad]

Do we get a prize for 0x bonus? 😝Cos that's what my first two have paid! 😶🤑

[vanHooff]

Cool another promo.
Good luck to all who participate and enjoy the game.

I am not sure how to read the following, if it means that max win for bonus buys is 500x you might have a great chance of beating that by playing base game, assuming that the max win is 50.000x

Hey, nice to see another promo i can join again

Jumped in straight away, and whilst im sure this won't hold for long it will at the very least be a worthy contender for the prize draw

690.73x on Leo, 26-08-2021, 13:46 rolled in after like 7 spins! Too late to grab a proper screen so history will have to do.

Used the super stake, which i guess was wise, because i took the 5 spins, and got a reaction on each spin for it, and then hit a boatload of 7's in the end!

Did subtract from the x times bet but hey, i'll take that anyday...

As for feedback: i really like these games, Megaways, enhancements in the base game and free spins, Super Stake and huge winpotential..

What's not to love? That said, especially Extreme and now Extreme Megaways, seem to be extemely hot or extremely dry, guess they didn't come up with the name for nothing:) Idon't really have much to add further, aside from liking the theme and music, but t/b/h/ that's a moot point in reviews, as i know so many gamblers (myself included who mute the music they don't like and even play slots on auto, without actually looking at the screen 😛

Always wondered if the feedback in these comps go to the provider or is it more for the site itself?

Anyways, there's a new mercedes in town and i'm going to check it out...

Will try to win a bigger one! Good luck @ all!

@TrustworthyC Congratulations on the nice win and I am happy to read that you enjoy the game.

Thank you Casinogrounds, Leovegas and Stakelogic for hosting a wonderful promo.

Game feedback for   Extreme Megaways by Stakelogic:  sorry, unfortunately I feel that this is a bad game that I rated only 1 star on the slots rating page:
https://casinogrounds.com/slots/extreme-megaways/

Sounds, Graphics and Theme: the theme is 'starbursty' which is okay.
Graphics are nothing special, but the win animations are colourful. Theme and sound are okay.
I feel that there is plenty of audiovisual talent at Stakelogic, but this is not their finest game.
As usual for Stakelogic games there are some bugs in sound (volume) and screen transitions, but not nearly as bad as in Black Gold 2.

Potentially good features of this slot are the '8th reel' with special effects and the 'super stake' that makes the regular base game mode unattractive to play.

What is especially bad about this game: while I am a big fan of bonus buys, this slot allows the bonuses to be gambled á la Extra Chilli by Big Time Gaming. BTG has since moved on towards more responsible gambling and the only other provider that still offers bonus buys to be gambled, is AvatarUX with their 'Pop' series. On top of the gamble of the bonus (buy), also the end result of the bonus can be gambled. There are some restrictions to both: the bonus gambling wheel needs only two hits before it must be taken, and the gamble afterwards is only up to 100x times 4 or something similar.

What this all results in is that  with bonus buys and gambling the burn rate of money can be way too high.
With a bit of bad luck EUR 500-1000 can easily be lost within half and hour while playing on minimum stake of 20 cents.
No worries, I have not spent that kind of money on this promo this time (yet)

I realize that bonus buys and gambles are optional and not available in all jurisdictions, but some self-regulation by the game providers would be appreciated. In my opinion bonus buys are great, as long as the player gets a certain play (and cool-off) time.

Another piece of feedback: I don't understand all of the help files. 
As mentioned earlier in this thread (see screenshot)  it is not clear to me of the bonus buy winnings are capped on 500x or 50000x.
Also, the help file states that a regular bonus buy costs 100x , and with super stake bet 200x.
In my jurisdiction have access to super stake and bonus buy (for another month and a week  ) but I am not sure if I have access to bonus buy with super stake, or if there is a mistake in the help file, see below clip:
 

Overall, I feel you made a bad game but I see lots of potential in some of the Stakelogic unique features and in the art talent.

^^ to follow up on my rant about gambling bonus buys and for completeness: the new Yggdrasyl game Raptor DoubleMax, otherwise a very decent game with innovative sticky doubling multiplier in free spins, also features gambling the bonus buy from 7 to 10 to 13 spins. 

[Slot Lover]

Nice, another promotion! Nothing worthy for the prices so far, but at least got a decent bonus quite fast. Hope I have something nice to share soon 😋

The game is based on Black Gold 2 I guess. Similar features and Super Stake. Graphics more simple however. Love the BG2 graphics better.

The most fun is the extra feature reel on top which makes it more exciting.

Don't like bonus gambles. Sometimes it takes ages to hit and then 5 spins is not much and my first bonus ended up in 0 free spins. The seconde one I gambled to 10 free spins and I had no choice but to take them. Multiplier grew fast and didn't hit anything in the end as most growing multiplier games do of course.

I tried that slot out as well and I like it way better than this. You can feel the potential (64-128x) even in the base game. Here the "extra feature" treat me 0-10x and zero chance to get anything decent.

I enjoyed the free £600 from spinning on 20p for the money cart2 promo  . I agree its good to see competition spin sizes low so it cant just be monopolised by people who are happy to spam big spin sizes for hours on end  Hopefully I will bag another win

Can we clarify if the X times stake wins are calculated on the base game bet excluding the extra super stake bet? As it seems the super stake feature is a separate feature altogether potential triggered by that additional anti.. 

Example: just got £217 bonus round from £0.20 bet, but was also playing the super stake (+£0.10).. so really the win is 1082x base bet, even though actually round stake was £0.30

Says in the first post: "X wins will be calculated win amount / base bet."
Base bet meaning without Super Stake.

Yours is more. The super stake feature is an extra game mode it doesnt affect the normal game or free spins mode paytable so its actually 1036.4x!

 

Those 7s are where its at though, had a bonus myself that was on £2.13 until last spin then the 7s dropped on a nice multi.. suddenly had £217 instead

[buckstar3]

Start balance £100

End balance 6p

stake 20p +10p super stake 

spins 627

bonuses 3 

1st bonus gamble lost. 2nd bonus gamble lost. 3rd bonus took 5 spins and paid 16x 

Mystery Symbol Feature x3 (all missed)

Desroyer Features x11 (best win 15x)

Best base game hit 21x

My experience with this game is not good. The only things extreme about it is how boring it was to play. I played on superstake and as you can see above that feature landed 14 times in just over 600 spins. 
I hope some of you win big on this game. For me it has burned me and I will never touch it again. 
Good luck to you all

Really? Can you confirm this @Skylined87 as that would be very nice

Yeah. So if you play €0,20 + €0,10 stake of total €0,30 -> you win €100, the win will be divided by €0,20 for a 500x win count.

Awesome! Can you edit my post to reflect the proper score then? I can no longer edit it myself, Cheers!

And thanks @ts999777for noticing/bringing it up!

My entry for the promo: Leovegas 27-08-2021 16:47:47 1485x I hit EUR 297,12 on a 20 cents / EUR 20 bonusbuy on my mobile phone.

Some observations and how I played: in the basegame with superstake enabled I hit a 200x and a 300x in about 1000 spins.
I tried a couple of bonus buys trying to get to 10 spins but figured that since the multiplier often reaches plenty (10x) in fewer spins,
and because of the big hits in this thread in only 5 bonus spins, my strategy would be to gamble the bonus buys only once, up to 7 spins.

In all of the 7-spin bonuses that I played I hit a retrigger twice, once I got 5 extra spins and once I got 7 extra spins. 
Both bonuses only produced twice or three times the buy-in if I recall correctly.

In the 17th 7-spin bonus that I played, the multiplier was already halfway decent and a lot of bells dropped with both 'multiplier wilds'
( best of the 8th reel minifeatures) connecting. Good for a total of 1485x.

Unfortunately I have not filmed the win while playing on mobile phone.

Good luck all, and don't go overboard with the bonus buys.
   

[ts999777]

are bonus buys really allowed for this competition considering we cant do that in UK?

Although I assume unless you own up to it then nobody would know anyway without the account statement!

I don't like the game at all. Tried with the super stake first and find it wortless. Features paid between 0 and 10x. In 500 spins got 2 bonus, 14 and 23x. Base game is totally dead as well.

However first bonus buy (5 spin) got +7 spin extra spin. Built it up and hit this beauty.

Overall badly balanced slot. Getting bored before realized the potenzial.

overall: 3/10

161x 28/08/2021, Leovegas

Overall, I see the potential of the game and enjoy the extra features included. However, I am quite against any slots that have an RTP under 96% because I feel that the RTP is getting worse and worse on a lot of slots/casinos. Hence, I won't be playing this game in the future.

[dirtystack]

Gave the game a chance:

Nothing to add to Vanhoof's review.

With superstake off nothing happens.

With superstake on nothing happens - I have no clue WTF the superstake even does as there didn't seem to be anything different to when it is off. If it just activates the top bar in the base game then it just causes something pointless to happen every 100 or so spins.

Got the freespins once, nobody wants 5 freespins - gambled and lost so I can't comment on the freespins round.

Never got through 100 autospins without hitting the 50x loss limit.
