Three hundred and sixty spins at 12.00 took my balance from 10,000.00 down to 8,401.60 without it once climbing past where it started, on an Endorphina game whose only extras are a Crown Wild that fills a middle reel and a Risk Game I never touched.
Chance Machine 20 is a 5-reel, 20 payline slot with reels that are 3 symbols tall, and the game is wagerable from 0.20 to 200. All 20 paylines are fixed, and line wins pay for matching symbols starting from the leftmost reel. The Chance Machine 20 online slot features an expanding Crown Wild, two Scatters and a Risk Game. But it all boils down to the base game. I played 360 spins at a 12.00 stake, starting from a balance of 10,000.00. I will get into it further below. Over those spins I wagered 4,320.00 and won back 2,721.60, a session return of 63.0%.
Symbols on the reels comprise Heart, Diamond, Spade, Club card suits as well as Sevens, Bells, Clovers, and BARs. The Seven, Bell and Clover are the high-paying symbols, while the four card suits pay the least. The Seven is the most valuable of all symbols. It grants a 150x win for 5 across a payline, and the Crown wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatters. At the 12.00 stake I played, a 150x win would come to 1,800.00.
Chance Machine 20 is a straightforward slot. It has 1 mechanic that can land in the base game:
Expanding Crown - The reel will be fully covered by the Crown to form wins, but reels 1 and 5 will never be covered. Of my 360 spins, 145 paid something, and 93 of those paid less than the 12.00 stake.
3, 4 or 5 Gold Star Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the reels pay out. 5 of them grant 100x the wager. The second Scatter is the White Star, which lands only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and pays 20x the bet for 3.
Players are presented with 4 face-down cards after a win and are prompted to pick one, and the punter beats the dealer's card to double the win, up to 10 times in a row, or forfeits the win. I did not take any win into the Risk Game and collected every win as it landed.
What everybody is apt to ask themselves is - does it hold any promise? Well, there are no free spins. There is no bonus buy, so it all boils down to the base game. Across my session the balance never rose above the 10,000.00 it started with, and it finished at 8,401.60, which was also its lowest point.
The drawback is that the max win per individual spin is merely 3,000 times the stake, while the benefit is that its feasible to double a win up to 10 times in a row in the Risk Game. My biggest win in 360 spins was 228.00 on spin 187, which is 19.0x the stake.
Chance Machine 20 is a plain slot. There is no question about that. It's a low volatility slot. So don't anticipate outlandish things to occur, other than a Crown covering a reel that is. The longest run without a win in my session lasted 10 spins, ending on spin 321.
Chance Machine 20 has a 96.01% RTP.
Minty’s Closing Thought: The 96.01% on the label is a long-run figure, and my 360 spins handed back 63.0% of the 4,320.00 I put through, with a 19x hit on spin 187 as the high-water mark. On a low volatility game I half expected the small wins to keep the balance near 10,000.00, and it drifted down to 8,401.60 anyway, one sub-stake payout at a time.
