Sanatorium Secrets
Pragmatic Play

Dark theme, and a ways game, clearly have some potential. Exciting part being wild reels w/ multi, as well as the hook. Both bonus freq and max win freq seems good enough, and assume it's under pragmatic's math model there shouldn't be much to be worried about the math. But the amount of flaws (or problems) makes this capped at 7/10. Super Bonus To make it more "Super" it should worth more, only twice the price of a regular bonus feels low. Big Wild Instruction unclear: Does it count as 4 symbols, or only 1? Had a spin where got three 1x4 Wild on Reel 2/3/4, with a total multi of x20+. Expecting a huge win but get some <300x win which is super disappointing. If it counts as 4 wilds, it will be at least 256 ways won x20 multi. Then I guess it might only count as a single wild but taking the space of entire reel, which is disappointing. Multiplier (during puzzle phase) "A multiplier of +1x can also appear on the two outer reels. Each one increases the minimum multiplier that the 1x4 Wild symbols can hit with during the round" Feels confusing to me at first glance. The game features no global multiplier, so it took me a while to figure out what does the +1x means in this case. I do think this is a bit unnecessary.

After 10h+ of non extra bet spinning I was down like 600x. It's no easy task for a slot to get me tilted or frustrated. I thought I'm mentally strong enough as I'm no longer tilting after using extra bet and losing 300x-500x in a row without hitting a single bonus on Hacksaw/NLC games. But this game somehow gets me tilted, as the math and the volatility just made it painful for me to play. Unfortunately I have to revoke my previous rating (which is a 10).  I'm absolutely shocked how hard it is to win a 100x, or even a 50x, on this game. Yeah, I had 0 win >=100x despite a super bonus trigger (it paid 76x). You can literally spin for 40-60 minutes straight and still within up or down 100x. Might be the worst math I've seen from ELK.  Quick math: I've played no less than 5K spins and got approx. 85% RTP. This means ~9% of the RTP on wins 100x or higher.  Did they just simply toggle volatility to FALSE when doing the math?  Regular Bonus (natural edition that's triggered without extra bet, or bonus buy): I'd evaluate this at 50x, or at most no more than 60x. There's just too many bad bonus end up between 10x-25x. This can easily happen if you get no more than 2 brick house. In extreme cases, straw house only.  Special feature, in this case, the Hat Mania, is quite hard to trigger, when comparing to Pirots 3 and 4's feature which is guaranteed to trigger when you clean up the entire board. Because here you get wheels instead. While it might have similar monetary value (10x aka "Mini" from the wheel, or 10x from the feature), the feature is more fun and entertaining. Plus the wheel can also generate a negative amount of happiness if it landed on the worst result. There's also visual bugs in this game.  Might try to grind for 3 100x or a 300x on this game (whichever comes first). I wonder how long will that take.

Le Reskin with pretty much exact same mechanism with The Origianl Le Bandit But Max Win slashed to 1/4. The entire Le series have truely bottomed out, I believe. Come on.

A nice reskin of SixSixSix, and now with "jackpots". Still, never a big fan of those kind of non-ordinary slots: It's pretty much all about up to 3 wheels (and FS symbols) and all other symbols are just irrelevant.

Visual and theme is very interesting and creative, those "glitchy" effects reminds me of Win-O-Mart, still one of my favorite games. Gameplay, Lines + Mystery Reels + "Book pays", plus progressive multiplier during bonus. Probably I'm getting used to ways game, it feels harder and harder for a lines game to get me excited. And lack of base game feature (it's just bonus round w/o the multiplier) will also be a minus.  A 43.11% HF is too high. As a player who prefers High risk high potential, I don't like it. This will cause too much RTP on 0.05x-1.00x wins. Paytable also caught my attention: Top premium is 50x for 5 OAKs and everything else is 5x or lower. I'm curious why they decide to put such as huge gap between those symbol payout. The design of decreasing volatility for 3/4/5 S bonus is something I've never seen before. But given their slogan of "We aren't here to blend in", it all makes sense. Never a big fan of certain things locked behind additional "pay walls" which is also going to be a small minus: Video game: buy the DLC to unlock access to that island, otherwise you can't 100% complete the game and unlock all achievements. This slot: Base game players have no access to those 777x Exclusive special bonus, and thus stuck at 10Kx Max Win.

7 out of 10. Reasons already mentioned before so not gonna copy+paste that long paragraph of text here. Minor changes since its exclusive release, such as some animations are now skippable. Side note: found a base game max win, and unfortunately it's not so fun to watch. https://nolimitcity.com/replay/zohugahaponiraheyakumunosapeniwapanurotuzibaborute Other NLC games, with the exception of Dead Canary: 2880 Ways x12, Boom! Here's your max win. Lightning fast speed. SQ Manhunt: Please wait a bit longer until it eventually add up to a max win. Please be patient as the board is static, every position is already x128 and the multi won't go higher.

Duel at Dawn but Outlaw Wild replaced by Bounty Wild. Also a 5S Bonus possible. Symbol patterns are still wayyyy too obvious just like Duel at Dawn. Still the familiar "Hacksaw Line Game with Wild Reel" receipt we're all familiar with. Nothing is new and exciting. (Side note: hit a 1000x from a 3S bonus within 20-30 bonus hunt spins yesterday, but that can't be an excuse to give this game a higher score. I'm sorry.)

Solid 7. Line games with sticky wilds along with some multipliers, but the bonus round with boss fight and other features made it unique. A few minor flaws on some details. The big win is not exciting enough, both visual and sounds. The wild transform feels weird to me. While I don't watch anime, I don't think you convert a boss into a Wild symbol by bite them. The "real" max win 25Kx can only be achieved with the 500x buy, which is one level higher than a 5S bonus that might be not available for base game players.

Doesn't look fun or creative enough from today's perspective. But at least they finally made all bonus accessible to everyone, without the need of extra bet. Would you look at that: 4 extra bets + 4 super spins + 4 different bonus buy options. Greediness has gone pretty far. Add extra spins and god mode then it shall reach the top.

Didn't play enough of those match-3 type of games. But the quality itself is great, so does the gameplay. A quite interesting design being scatters only reveal their properties (regular or super) later, and getting into the super bonus "accidently" this way might give players some additional happiness. Potential is the main problem here. Quick question: how do I hit a 500x in a single spin, or even a single cascade? Well, I believe the most straight forward approach is 4-5 OAKs of top premium with a global multi of x100-300. However the global multi only scales linearly so its probably going to take quite a while to scale it to a considereable value.
