I had something of a ball in Monday’s video! I had managed a decent selection for a very reasonable price so there was always a decent chance of profit, but I was not expecting it to be quite at the level it turned out to be. 4 of the bonuses paid over 100x, including Multifly at over 400x! Funny how these things all seem to come along at once, like London busses as the saying goes.

The net result was a profit of over £400. I haven’t had a session like that in a fair while, and I certainly enjoyed it. Lately it seems to be largely one way traffic, so it is nice to remind myself that winning bonus hunts do happen from time to time.

Perhaps there is something to be said for the strategy I took in choosing the games. I was sticking to higher RTP games that I know and trust to give me a fair game. Of course I still had to get lucky with the lands, but it is pleasing nonetheless when the higher RTP appears to make a difference. I am well aware that it isn’t that simple, and it is a much longer term strategy than one where I can draw conclusions after one video. But simply put, it cannot be wrong to prioritise playing games wherever you can find them on the higher RTPs.

Moving onto today’s video, and it is a Pragmatic Play only video here. I set out with the intention of playing some of the harder to land games, but without the extra chance of bonus switched OFF. In time I would like to try to work out whether or not there is any value in having this switched on, and paying the premium that entails. Mixed evidence from the first attempt. Some bonused quickly, others failed after a very long attempt. I know that I can expect it to take longer, but which is the better decision financially? I will try this type of thing again over time and see if I can get a feel for what the answer might be.

PS. Don’t forget to enter the World Cup prize draw!
