Expert review

The table contains key information obtained from during the test.

Note. In normal mode, the screen shows winnings in bets by lines. To find out the value of the true payout, the figure must be divided by the number of lines. There are 9 of them in the machine with the possibility of reduction.

First impression: the Resident slot is very generous. Line wins occur approximately three times out of four spins. At the same time, half of the payouts are for two or three combinations at the same time. However, you should not count on the main game. Approximately 75% of line payouts - from ⅕ to 1 of the total bet. In 1000 rounds, we only saw four wins more than x3.

What happens in the bonus game? The first stage is the choice of one of the four safes. According to statistics, in about 80-85% of cases, two of them contain explosives. Such an unfortunate choice terminates the bonus and saves all winnings already received.

In the best case, 5 times out of 100, none of the safes will explode and the bonus will go to the 2nd stage of the bonus. The remaining 5-15% is when the explosives are in only one safe.

Protection against one bad choice - increase the rate by 5 times. The extra "life" is indicated by the fire extinguisher that appears on the main screen of the machine next to the hero.

There is a misconception that in order to get protection, you need to set the maximum bet. A 5x boost is actually enough.

Bonus games drop evenly, about 3 times per 100 rounds. If you do not connect protection, half of them will end with a zero result. If you choose a safe, 80% of the payouts fall within the range of 8 to 16 total bets.

The maximum value of an item is 30 bets, the minimum is 1. The best payout during the test at the 1st stage of the bonus is x33. It was a lucky choice of three items, one of which had a value of x21.

Getting four prizes in sequence in Stage 1 opens the way to Stage 2. There you have to make a choice of two items. This is a 50/50 game: you can either get an additional prize from 20 to 100 total bets, or nothing.

Passing into the 2nd stage of the bonus is a difficult task. Of the 29 bonus rounds received, it was only possible to go to the final 2 times. The winnings in one of them amounted to 50 bets.

Expert Tips

The Resident slot machine from Igrosoft has two return level. The return of the machine without protection in the bonus can be estimated at 80%. Therefore, you should only play at a bet that is 5 times the minimum.

You can play slots from Igrosoft only in licensed casinos. In this case, it is not possible to change the machine parameters set by the developer.

Strategies related to changing the number of lines and the bet size do not work. The provider carefully checks the gameplay algorithm and cannot allow it to be hacked.
