Welcome one and all to Nicks next Dapp Pick, and my #1 choice for a decentralized, aesthetically pleasing, massively fun and truly rewarding Slot Machine game. In my opinion, the best slot experience the current Dapp space has to offer, so; 'Let's get Into':
1. The General Rundown;
Cryptomania is a simplistically stylish easy to understand from the moment you arrive slot machine that has crisp, satisfying visual that will be both recognizable and fun to look at from bet 1 to bet 1000. This is coupled with excellent audio effects that clearly and instantly let you know whether you've hit, or hit it big, the victory music is masterfully orchestrated and when you win something big you will know it instantly from both the awesome flame graphics that outline which lines you hit and the cool tunes that play. The reel pictures are your classic fruits and $$$ symbols with a crown thrown in for good measure(If you're lucky!). They are easy to see and the machine does not have 20/30/50....etc lines that can be confusing and expensive like other dapp slots I've tried, the best part about that is you never need to worry about "How many lines should I cover, what is optimal to win" or that spins will charge you your wager per line like most other machines, nope not here. There are 5 reels and 3 rows, 10 lines that can pay out, and all you need to do is set a simple EOS wager ranging from 0.1 EOS up to a MAX BET of 5(currently) EOS per spin. All lines are always covered even if you bet 0.1 and you can win up to 500x your wager on a single spin, that's right; it is technically possible to win 50 EOS from a 0.1 EOS wager. Here is a 100x win I got the other day off of a 0.2 EOS spin, granting me a prize of 20 EOS!(and boy, did that feel good!):
(Life gave me lemons, and Cryptomania made me some lemonadEOS)
As you can see it is just really nice to look at, the buttons really pop, and you can see the work that was put into this beauty. The rush you get as you see your reels start to line up is honestly unparalleled, but not to give you guys and gals the wrong idea here this is indeed not an everyday occurence, however I frequently hit 5x/10x/20x my wager multiple times per session, the key is to pace yourself and not to get impatient, there really is some strategy involved believe it or not, like any provably fair slot machine they can be streaky, and when it's good, it's really good. If it's not, just wager down to .1's for awhile until you start lining up again, it has seemed to work out great, this is another thing I truly love about Cryptmania(from here on out known as CM), since their machine runs on a state of the art 96% payback algorithm the hits come frequently and enough to keep you playing and alive to make it to a "Big One" like in the above picture. If you want to see something really insane this is a one my buddy Jung hit the other night when we were both playing seeing who could win a big one first:
(the aptly named: "JungsInsaneWin.png" lol)
Yes he hit an astonoshing 133.5x prize totalling over 400$ US, with a $3.90(was EOS current price at the time) bet. The devs are reallyactive in the official telegram(which I will have in the links at the end) and will often celebrate your wins with you by tipping you some extra MANIA(the platforms native token) along the way! Here is the breakdown on what pays out where, how much, and in what direction:
(e.g a 5 crown line pays out 25x wager, and you can hit multiple lines on one spin, a WILD will always conform into the best line it can)
Keep in mind another awesome feature is the "Expanding Wild" that is included by default, which means when you get a WILD(pictured as the star in the screenshot above the icons) it stretches up and down to all 3 squares in the reel(reels are the vertical segments, rows are horizontal). So speaking of MANIA, that brings us to our next section;
2. The MANIA in Cryptomania!
As briefly mentioned before MANIA is the platforms native token which you can 'mine' by playing in through a WoM(wager to mine) mechanism. The CM Platform has a pretty unique system that increases how much MANIA you earn per EOS wagered in 4 revolving stages, each one increasing more up til stage 4 then resetting to stage one, at the end of each stage, which lastr for 10 EOS wagered each, you have a 2.5% chance at power leveling your MANIA holdings with a 1600 MANIA MEGA WIN! Hitting this feels awesome, while rare(for me so far at least, i have hit it once though) and then you see this :
(Mega Awesome!)
And here you will find the finer details on the MANIA mining system:
So what do you do with all this MANIA you ask? Well that's simple, it's yours you own it so whatever you want! But I would recommend you stake it to earn daily dividends based on the platforms profits, the mining Level is still level 1 at the time of writing meaning now is the time that you can mine the most MANIA before it becomes harder to earn, so I would recommend you get to spinning those reels and get it while you can, as it is speculated as one of the most valuable EOS token that has yet to hit an exchange(which will change in a few months when it is listed, exact date is not currently specified, but is part of their manifesto, aka white paper, which you can find on the site). Combine Daily divs, with their VIP system which can give up to 0.4% instant cash back, and the great payout odds from their unique algorithm, and you can see why this is one game you don't want to skip. As stated clearly on the bottom of their page, play responsibly, don't go crazy or spend money you can't afford to play with, take breaks in between long sessions, and don't forget to stay hydrated!
3. What truly makes this project stand out, and why we keep coming back
As we wind down to final notes and mentions, I would like to point out one thing that many Dapps especially in the "casino gaming" space lack, that CM does not; Passionate Developers, and stellar customer service. The team behind CM slots really does care about it's long term viability, and constantly engages with the player base asking for feedback, taking surveys(which they often reward you for), randomly tipping players MANIA for engaging socially in the official telegram, and even hosting cool events like the recent "Post your win screenshot" on twitter contest, where they will pick lucky winners to give EOS too just for posting your win screenshot and leaving a clever comment with it. They speak english very well, are online at all hours of the day and night, and will routinely talk with the players about upcoming plans, the next game for the platform, and the future of the community in and of itself, it truly is a social gaming platform the likes of which I have yet to see from any other team, and this above all else(even the big wins) is why CM slots is my #1 choice when I want to partake in the most popular category of casino games worldwide. To accomplish bringing something this engaging to an amazing blockchain filled with potential like EOS, is no small feat, and I would bet my EOS on the long term life of this project any day, we can never underestimate a team that truly cares about it's players and constantly strives to show them appreciation like the CM slots team has been doing. I know this ran a little long and cudos if you made it this far, although I believe ion my heart of hearts you will thank me for this one later if you are just hearing about this game, and as always thank you for trusting me to bring you the best of the best in the Dapp Space! Getting started has never been easier, all you need is Scatter and an EOS account, and if you are unsure on how to accomplish that, they feature a fully stocked How-To-Get-Started , step by step guide right on the website, another example of devs who are willing to help you get on board, and if you have any questions you can always drop a comment down below, I recommend everyone to join the official telegram, which I will put in the links below. Time to spin for the win! And make that
