Anyone tried the new rugby-themed slots yet? What's the vibe like?

Been spinning slots for a while, but I’m always drawn to the ones that feel like they’ve got some soul, you know? So when I heard about these new rugby-themed slots, my curiosity got the better of me. I’m a sucker for anything rugby-related since I spend half my time breaking down matches for bets. Figured I’d give these a go to see if they capture the grit of the game or just slap a ball on some reels and call it a day.
Tried a couple of them last week, and I’ve got mixed thoughts. The visuals are solid—think muddy pitches, packed stadiums, and players smashing into tackles. One of them even has a bonus round where you “kick for goal” to rack up multipliers, which is a neat touch. The sound design’s decent too; you get those crowd roars that make you feel like you’re at Twickenham. But the payouts? Bit of a scrum in the wrong direction so far. The RTP seems alright on paper (around 96% from what I checked), but the volatility’s high—feels like you’re waiting ages for a decent hit, much like a tight match where nobody’s breaking through.
What’s tripping me up is the features. One slot’s got this “try-scoring” mechanic where you need to land specific symbols to unlock a big win, but it’s trickier than nailing a drop goal in extra time. I’m wondering if I’m missing something or if the game’s just stingy. Anyone else played these yet? Do the bonus rounds get juicier the more you spin, or is it a grind? Also, which one’s your favorite? I’m torn between the one with the Six Nations vibe and another that’s more Super Rugby flavored. Curious to hear how others are finding the flow of these games.

Yo, love the passion for rugby slots—same here, they’ve gotta have that raw energy to hook me. I’ve been messing with a couple of these new ones too, and I get what you mean about the vibe. The visuals are spot-on; one I played had this epic tackle animation that felt like I was watching a live match. The “kick for goal” bonus you mentioned is cool, but I hit one with a “lineout” feature where you pick players to boost your multiplier—pretty immersive when it lands.

On the payouts, I’m with you. The high volatility is brutal, like waiting for a ref to make a call in a tied game. I’ve noticed the RTP hovers around 96% too, but it’s a grind to trigger those big wins. The try-scoring mechanic you brought up? I found it pays off if you stick with it, but it’s a slog—took me a good 100 spins to unlock the full bonus once. My tip: keep an eye on bet sizing to stretch your session, ‘cause those features can be stingy early on.

I’m leaning toward the Six Nations one—feels more like a proper tournament buzz. The Super Rugby one’s got flair, but the bonus rounds didn’t hit as hard for me. You found any tricks to make those features pop, or you just riding the variance wave?
