Alright, lads, let me tell ya about the absolute emotional rollercoaster I had last night on Dead Pharaoh's Riches (yeah, another bloody Egyptian-themed slot, but what can I say—I fall for 'em every time).
So, I sit down, fire up the game, and start with a casual $50 deposit. Base game’s doing its thing—small wins here and there, keeping me afloat but nothing crazy. Then, BOOM—two scatters land, and for a second, my heart stops… but no third scatter. Of course. That’s the warm-up.
Twenty minutes in, I’m down to my last $8 when the gods of RNG finally show some mercy. Three scatters. Free spins time, baby! This slot’s got a sticky wilds feature in the bonus round, so I’m buzzing, hoping for some good placements. First few spins? Garbage. I’m talking dead spins, a couple of 2x payouts—nothing to write home about. But then, outta nowhere, three wilds line up perfectly across reels 2, 3, and 4. Suddenly, every spin is a guaranteed hit. My $8 balance? Now looking at $120 and climbing.
And just when I think I’m about to make a proper escape from the session, the unthinkable happens—retrigger. 10 more spins with those sticky wilds. The dream. The absolute dream. This thing is printing money now, racking up line hits like a rigged carnival game. $250… $400… $620… I’m already planning what overpriced nonsense I’m about to blow this on.
Then comes the moment. Last spin. Big win. Puts me over $800. I do a couple of victory fist pumps like an idiot in my own living room. Now, a smart man would cash out. A responsible man would take the W and walk away.
I am neither of those men.
So what do I do? I chase. I think, one more bonus round. I raise my bet. I play it all the way down to $300 before I get another feature. And guess what? This time, it pays me $17. I swear, I could feel the slot laughing at me.
Moral of the story? Take the cash when you’re up. But will I listen next time? Hell no. See ya in the reels.
Anyone else had a session like this?
