I got $50 off of Lobstermania 2 last night haha. I get hammered on that machine usually and that's at the penny level. I can't imagine the swings I'd see at any higher levels.
I get CRUSHED almost every time I play the newer Lobstermania 2. I'll stick with the older version when it can be found. Paytables are better, less lines, and money lasts a lot longer methinks. Here is a reason why the newer version takes most people's dollars faster. Extreme volatility (but that one big jackpot per year, as seen below) [youtube]aYAHOYW0FW8[/youtube]
Which casino? The amount won will of course vary widely based on denomination. I get sucked into the machine too often and rarely see it in high limit areas. Actually, you will not find many of these in the entire casino, based on my experience.
I fell in love with this slot one year when I stayed at TI. There was one right at the bottom of the escalators from the tram station. I called it my personal ATM machine. I would put in $40 and take out from $60 to $200 every time I played it. That was '07, I think, and I've had mixed results since, but I would say I'm in the black on that machine. Plus, I love the little tune. Also Larry, "That's a big 'un, for sure, eh?"
It says a $2200+ win on a 60 cent bet. Seems hard to believe that much volatility would exist to allow a win of almost 4000 times your wager, but then again I played that Lobstermania 2 when it was new and the thing just sucked down money
