I thought the NHS was on its knees, or at least that’s what the British press led us to believe.

The Bandit’s channel and this web site are both 18+.  As long as it’s not racist e.g. the n-word, then he’s allowed to say what he wants to his 18+ audience.  I’ve been watching him since 2017, the era of DHV, Hong Kong Tower, Flamebusters, Gandalf, Scruffy Duck and Immortal Romance, and he was like that back then too with swearies.  If people are now suddenly irked by swearies 8 years later in 2025, then maybe a different YT channel is for you.

I’m caught up with the Bandit as far as NYD, and I think it’s safe to say to knock Dual at Dawn on the head.  It isn’t difficult to Photoshop a big win picture and the Duel at Dawn big win pictures are clearly Photoshopped!

BTG are now owned by Evolution Gaming Group, so they probably don’t get as much freedom or have as much of a say in their newer content.    Golden Catch and Millionaire Rush from 2022 were their last decent slots imo when it was still early BTG/Evo days, at a time when Evo had less of a hold on affairs.

“Danger Danger” (right hand side) is a bit different, but yes “Fire in the Disco” (left hand side) is based on Bonanza Falls.

White Rabbit 2 is meant to be BTG’s next sequel and it doesn’t hold much hope for me now.  White Rabbit had the expanding reels mechanic which BTG revisited in Wheel of Fortune and Gold Megaways.  For White Rabbit 2 to be successful, BTG probably need to move away from this mechanic and make something new.  It doesn’t even have to be Megaways, as remember the original Danger HV wasn’t a Megaways slot.

There are a couple of games that I feel are a bit overdone (Beast Below and Stormforged) but I still enjoy the content and have been following since May 2017.  I like the catchphrase bingo e.g. “nice and neat and tidy” and “Radio Atlantic”.  That’s part of the banter 🙂

Bandit and Stop & Step are the 2 that I follow.

Hey up Bandit, greetings from the Midlands.  I’m still loving your content 7 years on!

As a traditional fruity player, I found Stop & Step first.  Must had been 2015, early Megaways era with Queen of Riches etc, definitely pre-Bonanza!

Then I started following you (Bandit) in May 2017, just as Danger High Voltage was coming out.  I have nostalgia for 2017 as it was the year you were playing Hong Kong Tower, Secret of the Stones, Evolution, Pink Elephants, Terminator 2 (and other Microgaming), White Rabbit, Wonky Rabbits, Scruffy Duck, Sticky Bandits and more.

I treat Bonanza (2016) and 2017 in general as the start of the modern era for online slots.

Recent years, like 2020ish onwards have just been crazy with bonus buys, especially from Nolimit City.

It was in the early days of Bellfruit Deal or No Deal.  The £35 jackpot had just come out, a time before these machines were everywhere.  Probably 2007.  I put a £2 coin in one in Wetherspoon and it jumped straight into a mega streak.  No feature board, no presses.  The reels kept spinning until it reached £35, then it was back to the base game.  A few 30p presses later, it landed the scatters for a feature board.  The telephones were red, so I knew that it meant an invincible board – where the punter plays for jackpot or the mega streak.  The next streak went for either £35 or £70.  Credits ran out and I put a few more £1 or £2 coins and the process kept happening, streaks always going for either £35 or £70.  Eventually though, I figured that this ‘glitch’ has recovered from itself and it started playing normally.  In total, I cashed out £210 (not all in 1 go), and it has never happened to me again since!
