ED3 Upload

[Admin1]

We are uploading ED3 preview 1 now. Will advise when complete!

[Admin1]

Egyptian Dreams 3 preview is available from
http://pokiemagic.fileburst.com/pmegyptiandreams3.exe

We are interested in any feedback you may have, related to any part of the game. It utilises a part of the Pokie Magic 2 game engine. The win detection logic has been completely rewritten from scratch (yuck!)

Look out for the following:
Payouts should now be correct on ALL paylines and wildcards should be properly paid out. In all previous Pokie Magic games (embarrassingly!), wildcard payouts were a bit unpredictable and sometimes you might notice symbols flashing by themselves as if they were a single item payline.

Also, the game now checks the pay hierarchy before awarding a payout on a payline. In previous versions, for example four wildcards followed by a Ten would have paid five tens. This is quite ridiculous and now in that scenario four wildcards would be paid on that line instead.
(Thanks to Peter from Mona Vale and Kelvin for the repeated entreaties to fix the problems - these bugs have been around since the original "Owls" game in 1998 and very difficult to fix).

There are no help files yet included with this game.

The feature works like this: get three or more pyramids and 15 free spins area awarded all at triple times normal pay. During the free spins, wildcards are removed from reels 1 and 6. Wildcards on reels 2,3,4 and 5 are increased to travel in threes (similar to Maidens Treasure). This means that in theory you could have reels 2,3,4 and 5 entirely filled with wildcards. Not likely though /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif (Ann - your father could probably do it no probs!).

The feature cannot be retriggered as such, but 3 or more pyramids during the feature will award you five more free spins.

Bugs.
We are aware that the background on the rock/paper/scissors tripleup is not correct. The part of Pokie Magic 2 which is causing the problem is yet to be corrected.
Non scattered payouts may take a second or so to start "flashing". This problem will be corrected in the final release.

Thanks all for testing the new game, and we look forward to your feedback. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif

I was just about to start some more work on my homepages....but YEHAAAAAA /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hurray.gif im now downloading ED III and cant wait to play it.
THankyou Admin for getting it ready so quickly /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissing.gif

Well once my download is finished im outta here to go play /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif so nitey nite all /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wavey.gif

[Sue]

Goodnight Ann...

Catch you later /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wavey.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif

[Annsheree]

Admin...before i starting playing i just had a thought that maybe you could consider?..... you said 3 or more pyramids awards 15 free spins....well i think it would be a bit cruel if you managed to get 6 pyramids up and still only get 15 spins. Maybe you could make it if you get 3 or 4 then yuo get 15 spins, if you get 5 you get 20 spins....but if you are extremely lucky and get 6 you then get 50 free spins. WHat you think??
ANyhow im going to play, cheers again for the speedy release.
Ann

[Admin1]

Your chances of getting 6 pyramids are quite slim /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Your idea will be implemented (slightly modified) in the final release.

[Annsheree]

UMMMM SIR ADMIN.....a little problem... /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/10tantrum.gif
Went to play and it says you free spins limit has been reached????

[Annsheree]

I take it you forgot to add that part into the game? lol
Ahh frustration...waited for it, downloaded it and now i cant play it /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif

[Buttonpusher]

[Annsheree]

I havent played it yet, made my comments on the free spins thing while i was downloading. Then installed it, started the game, hit spin and it said sorry you free spin limit has been reached please register. I havent had one spin yet???

[Admin1]

Sorry about the freespin limit, we are 10% through the upload of an update, will advise when complete.

What do you mean Tanya?

[Annsheree]

hmm it seems tanya logged out. But from what i gather i think she means, she got up the feature winning 15 free games, won 5 free spins in the feature and instead of having her remainder original free games left plus the 5 she just won...it wiped out the originally earnt spins and left her only with the 5 she just won.

ANd cheers for the new upload admin /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissing.gif will hang around and wait for it.

[Saniqua45]

Have just checked and found it to actually be ok in this respect. Something to watch out for though is that your font size is set to small. We have increased the size of the font which displays remaining free spins and this may cause overflow of the text.

ReUpload almost done.

[Admin1]

Please download the update from

Hey! Admin. I just downloaded EDIII and it is GREAT. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/7weeeeeee.gif

You have done really well. I hope that this is the spawn of many new 6 reel pokie magic games. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif

Good luck with the rest of it. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mulblob.gif

[Annsheree]

Okay kool.
Oh and thanks greatly for the reupload, its now letting me have spins /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Off to play will post comments tomorrow.
Nitey Nite

[Saniqua45]

waited all this time and was eager to play it but now my pc is playing up so ill get it in the morning,but thankx for a quick recovery. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

[Annsheree]

Ok just wanted to add some first off comments before i forget LOL
>>1- there is no feature music playing during feature...(although if you play the feature midi file in another player it does work)
>>2- During the feature you dont win any credits for getting 2 pyramids.
>>3- All paylines seem to pay right.
>>4- I also had the same prob as Tanya...i got the initial 15 spins and had 7 to go when i then won another 5 spins..when the spins restarted it left me with only 5 spins instead of 13 i should have had. >>But then went and Changed my fonts in IE to small like you advised and havent had that problem since.

So far the feature hitrate seems just right and i ABSOLUTELY love how it pays left - right and right - left /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ANd also love the wild card thing like on Maidens treasure....with 6 reels it being possible to have the middle 4 reels full of wild cards! AWESOME!!

Oh and WOHOOOOO /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hurray.gif to the 6 reels LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

ahhh just noticed that even in the general game you dont win any credits for 2 pyramids so i guess thats not supposed to pay anything.

[Symo]

Hey all Just thought i'd add my comments about this game.

I found it hard to get a 6 of a kind, BUT however the freespins do come up frequently (Which I Love) and they also pay pretty well as well (Which I also Love).

But I also found that there is no music in the features at all.

And finally. I though that the graphics are pretty good and the reel spinning was really smooth.

Overall I LIKE IT A LOT......MAJOR WINNER HERE /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/7weeeeeee.gif

[Annsheree]

SYmo did you download the Final Version put on the site last night? As that version does have working feature music /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Symo]

yep done that. I actually wrote my comment down about 3 days ago, sorry for the confusion.

[Carol]

Just tried ED3, liked the idea of 6 reels.
Graphics were good and the game ran smoothly.
By the time I was starting to figure out all the pay lines, my 1000 free spins wre up. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/furious.gif
I think you do need more than 1000 spins to try the games. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/type.gif

Its true that 1,000 spins is not a huge number, but when you consider the number of games we have out there, there are now a possible 13,000 free spins between the various games.
