Day 12 - The Osbournes

The Osbournes. As a devoted fan of Black Sabbath and Ozzy, I of course have to try the family Osbournes video slot. Not all families who have a video slot of their own. To be honest, I'm not so eager to play today, but the mood quickly turns when I log in and see my £373 on the bank roll. What a boost!

As in many other video slots I set the coin value, number of lines and number of coins to bet. I choose to bet in between yesterday's levels, so I bet 60 coins. I think. After a few spins I see that my bank roll is in Euro and not converted into coins, which means that I am betting £0.60 per spin. Way too much for my taste, despite my now rather large bankroll. For fun I check how much the max bet is, and that is, for me anyway, amazingly £100 per spin. Are you a High Roller? Welcome to a great game!

I lose £12 before I discovered that the bets are higher than I thought, but only a few spins later I manage to get into my favorite category: Free Spins. In The Osbournes, they have spiced it up a bit in Free Spins mode. Sharon's dog is walking one step each time the dog symbol comes up, and I think it needs to come up five times in order to receive additional 10 Free Spins. It happens and I win a total of £17. Back as a winner in other words.

Now I feel like gambling a bit and increase my bets up to £1 per spin. I decide that the bank roll may not go lower than £340. I will play the 30 minutes or stop if I go down to £340. 20 minutes left.

Now the game turns on me. With my increased bet I fall quickly down to £345, and I think it will soon be over for the day. But then it happens. Again! I hit three dogs that take me into the Free Spins. I win 10 new free spins twice and reaches far into the dog's walk, and the total profit is £56. Now up to £401 on the bank roll. I hope Alex does not read this, there is a risk that I'll get fired soon. No, seriously, really fun to play video slots and always fun to win!

28 minutes has passed and I am actually satisfied and will call it a day.  Nice to start tomorrow’s Game of the day with over £400 in the bank roll.

What I notice when I play some different videoslots is that they basically have the same structure, but with slightly different fabrications, bonuses, commissions and winning opportunities. It is also those things that make me a bit confused in the beginning of a new game. But without exception, I quickly learn the game and after a few wins and a little reading in the game info, I get the picture. The most important thing, in my opinion, when you come into a new game is that you carefully set your bet level so that it fits your bankroll. Then you just spin and learn as you go along.

What can you say? Responsibly, right?
