Slots that disappointed the players

Before the release of the next novelty, many developers arrange a real hype. Advertisement for the upcoming slot, reviews on specialized resources and promises of dizzying drifts create a stir among the players. Fans look forward to such releases and have high hopes for the novelty.

However, active marketing does not always play into the hands of developers. Exaggerated expectations of players give birth to high demands on the slot machine. Gamblers meet such games with enthusiasm and rightly so.

We expect that the new product will meet their expectations. And if the device is even a little short of promises developer, players understand this in the first few minutes of the game.

In this selection, we have collected five slots that in 2020 were supposed to blow up the gambling industry like a nuclear bomb, but in fact have become a miserable firecracker.

Reactoonz 2 by Play'n GO

We were all looking forward to the triumphant return of the hit Play'n GO Reactoonz, which the developers decided to give second life in the sequel. The original game was released in 2017 and instantly won the recognition of gamblers thanks to a successful combination of a non-standard playing field and charming characters.

The announcement of the sequel was a real sensation. Players were looking forward to the original features and impressive changes that could contribute to the novelty of Play'n GO. However, colourful expectations turned into grey ashes immediately after the release of the slot.

The developer overloaded the device with details, functions and options. But, despite the fact that the screen is activated all the time some kind of bonus, as a result, players get practically nothing. While the cascading reels are spinning on the screen, a lot of actions take place, after which the reward reaches only a couple of bets. Reactoonz 2 has become only the shadow of his older brother, which everyone forgot about a few days after the release.

Chocolates by Big Time Gaming

In 2020, the developer decided to continue the series of “sweet” slots and announced Chocolates. After such a successful predecessor, gamblers' expectations were as high as possible.

When releasing sequels, developers face a major challenge: finding a balance between maintaining the benefits of the game and innovations. Big Time Gaming could not find such a balance and released an almost identical game. The difference lies only in the new design: instead of donuts, chocolates appear on the playing field.

The problem with Chocolates is not that it has flaws. It's just that this slot is no different from its predecessor, so it was forgotten about as quickly as chocolates melt in your mouth.

Valley of the Gods 2 by Yggdrasil

And again, the developers unsuccessfully tried to improve the popular slot. This time we will talk about the product of the studio Yggdrasil, which became the sequel to one of the first breakthroughs of the studio - Valley of the Gods.

Valley of the Gods 2 was on the list of the most anticipated slots in September 2020. However, a stormy promising meeting with the slot turned into a dull gameplay. Despite the non-standard playing field, the Egyptian-themed sequel failed to ignite interest and curiosity. Low payouts and long monotonous gameplay did not allow the device to repeat the success of its predecessor, contrary to the expectations of developers and gamblers.

Mystery Museum by Push Gaming

Push Gaming studio releases slots quite rarely. The company spends a huge amount of time and resources on developing the concept of the slot, searching for an unusual plot, and high-quality implementation. This meticulous approach brings good dividends as many of the developer's slots prove to be popular. Therefore, players are looking forward to every release of the Push Gaming novelty and hope to get a really high-quality product.

At first glance at the Mystery Museum, it is noticeable that the developers, as usual, have tried. The slot turned out to be visually attractive, with high payouts and wide bet adjustment options.

However, the problem of the slot machine is that it is as similar as possible to the classic "books" with a couple of minor highlights. The device has become a pleasant tribute to the old era of games, therefore, despite the high-quality design, it quickly passed positions in the lobby of an online casino. This does not make it a bad game, it's just that gamblers, as usual, expected from Push Gaming much more.

deadmau5 by Microgaming

The developers have announced a slot with amazing visual effects, signature graphics and electronic music from the maestro himself.

As you understand, after such announcements, expectations from this game were simply sky-high. Fans were waiting for a bright novelty from your idol, which will allow you to win impressive amounts for the singles of your favourite artist.

Unfortunately, the inflated soap bubble burst very quickly, leaving behind only streaks on the screens of gadgets.

The fans listened to several tracks, tested more than the usual gameplay. Even the abundance did not save the game attractive girls on drums.
