Danger High Voltage is my favourite slap when the pub pokies are all
Bloke after me own heart π
Danger High Voltage is the one I load up when every pokie at the club's got a nanna camped on it. BTG are the best provider hands down ngl, and this one from 2017 still smacks - 4096 ways plus that disco banger pumping, proper chaos. π₯π°
Question for the thread though: you lot picking Wild Multipliers or Sticky Wilds in the free games? I'm a multi guy, nothing beats two wilds landing with big multipliers on a 5/6 rollercoaster π±π° But yeah, hits near 42% of spins so it keeps you fed-ish between features... doesn't mean the feature banks every time, learned that one the hard way at 2am π€
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Grillie's right about choosing between sticky wilds and the multipliers in free games, that's the whole game right there. Old slots hit different but this one's a proper rollercoaster. Ah well, we grind on.
Honest question from a newbie here β when you blokes pick sticky wilds over the multipliers in the free games, does it actually feel safer or just slower to bleed? π
I only found Danger High Voltage recently after every pokie at my local was taken, and the 5/6 volatility nearly did my A$50 in before one decent feature saved the night. That 4096 ways thing had me thinking wins would come constantly but apparently the hit rate is only around 42%, which explains a lot π€
FreoBlue, on a small spin sample the sticky wilds will feel safer because you can string dead spins and still see the board building, whereas the multiplier option is feast or famine, one decent wild multi and suddenly you're up for the session, then three features later you've handed it back. Neither pick changes the underlying maths, mind, since the RTP and that 41.84% hit rate cover both paths; you're really just choosing how bumpy the ride is. I go multipliers when I want the rollercoaster, stickies when I want to grind it out slower. π
RTP is a long-run number.
FreoBlue, funny you ask, turned 50 into about 5k once on the multipliers choice in this very game, one wild with a big multi landed dead centre and the whole board lit up. Never did that again mind you, the next three features paid diddly π
Honestly though, sticky wilds do *feel* safer because you watch the board build even through the dead spins, whereas the multi side is pure feasting or famine. I'm old enough to remember Queen of the Nile's free games being gentle as a lamb, this BTG one at 5/6 volatility has no mercy either way. That 41-ish hit rate keeps the base game ticking along while you wait, which is why a 100 buck session can last a surprisingly long night with that disco tune droning on. Pick the option that lets you sleep after, that's my rule π
I remember the old slots first-hand.
FreoDad, that's the dream hit, and exactly why the multipliers tempt me every time. On a small spin sample though, sticky wilds just bleed slower.
Do the EV, then spin.
FreoDad that's the sort of hit I chase at 1am too many nights π Funny thing about the sticky wilds choice though, a dead-looking feature can still build a proper little wall of wilds by the last few spins, and that's when you remember why BTG gave it the full 4096 ways. Slower to bleed, sometimes, but it bleeds with style.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Agree with BonusVegas on the sticky wilds building quietly β I've had features where nothing seemed to happen for ten spins and then the last four spins were riding a wall of wilds across the 4096 ways and it saved the whole session. My caveat is that the sticky version's hit rate (the base game sits around 42% anyway) makes people underestimate how badly the multipliers option can batter a bankroll. That 95.67% RTP is spread across a hell of a lot of dead spins at 5/6 volatility.
Last Friday I gave it a A$100 slap at about midnight: three features, took sticky wilds twice (broke even-ish each time), then went multipliers on the third because I got greedy. One feature later and A$60 of that hundred was gone. EV is still negative either way, the sticky wilds just stretch the ride so you get more entertainment per dollar β which is honestly the point when the pub pokies are all camped by nanas anyway. π
Volatility > vibes.
@Grinder_Hunter deadset, those quiet builds are the whole draw. I run 40c a spin on Danger High Voltage and banked a 500x off one of those wall finishes last week π₯π°
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
that wall-of-wilds finish has saved me more times than I'd admit at 2am π funny how the discos soundtrack keeps spinning while you're down to your last few free games and one sticky wild holds on the middle reels - suddenly the whole 4096 ways light up and you're back in front. barely, mind you, this game's a 5/6 rollercoaster for a reason.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.

@MissFortuneWin99 only had that save once so far but it felt unreal π
the disco comes back on and one wild on the middle reels just rescues the whole feature. Maybe I'm being dumb but that's what hooked me on Danger High Voltage.

@RideTheVariance_Everyday96 nah not dumb mate, that single wild save is pure magic π
Danger High Voltage has bailed me out at the club plenty of times, one spin and the whole arvo turns π₯β‘

It sounds like you got lucky with the middle reels, mate. That one save in Danger High Voltage isn't something to get hooked on; it's just random variance kicking in. You think one lucky wild turning a losing spin into a tiny win means the math is fair, but it doesn't. π€‘
I just wonder how long that feeling of being saved is gonna last before the real run of bad luck hits. Gotta keep asking about the long-run profit, even when the disco soundtrack is blasting and the reels look like they're playing favourites. Keep enjoying the ride while you can, though. πΈ Your bank'll probably ask you for a hand sooner than you expect.
That last spin wall of wilds is exactly why I keep coming back π nothing beats the disco kicking in when the multipliers land π₯β‘

@ChrisSpins that disco track doing the heavy lifting while the balance is on life support, gotta love it π€£ I've had Danger High Voltage rescue me at the pub when the regular pokies were flatter than a warm soft drink. Half my wins on that game feel like the soundtrack guilted the reels into paying. One more spin, promise π€£β‘
Variance or not RideTheVariance, that wild save still gives me a kick every time π
Danger High Voltage at the local RSL turned my whole Friday arvo around once, magic stuff β‘π₯
