This is a poser for the membership here as it is something that happened to me recently.
I was playing Dead or Alive 2 and was lucky to get the bonus round three times in the session. On the first occasion I picked the highly volatile option and it paid a derisory sum out as it invarialbly does. Of course you might be really lucky and win 100,000x but for the most part it is paying 10-15x and that's really disappointing as it takes a while to get the bonus. On the second occasion I once again selected the same option and it paid even less at around 6x. On the third occasion, and only because I'd raised the stake, I selected the lowest volatility option called Train Heist and luckily for me it paid out really well on an eventual multiplier of 30 and resulted in a 440x win and I left the game having made a profit.
How many folks simply ignore the lower volatility options altogether and are they ultimately missing out by doing so.
Another example from my own play is Temple Tumble Megaways - I always take the middle option and have never ever selected the lowest voltaility option. The only time I selected the high volatility option it paid a zero bonus.
How does everyone else view this?
Train Heist on DoA2 is massively underrated, think everybody has that dream of the 111,111x and who can blame them. I usually alternate between the two. Never bother with the middle weirdly
I'm with
I used to play it 50 spins only in a sesh (because it can be boring) to try for a bonus and take the high volatility option hoping it would hit. Last year it did and I got a wild line, sheer luck (vid on the big hits thread). Never had one again but been close. Only other good win on high vol was just over 1000x.
I llike to alternate because Wild Heist can pay if you get the multiplier up. Although there's a lack of premium symbols on the reel set for that game I think.
