Only Wins week - a fake doll, a boring life and girl maths

Missed the Only Wins stream on Tuesday 3 November? We watched it for you. Two hours, Ilona and Liene, four slots and one bonus buy that turned €300 into €15.90.

The game was background noise this time. Up front were a comment about a fake doll, former castmates who can't stop talking about Ilona, and a question Liene didn't answer. Not the way the person asking hoped, anyway. Below are the four clips in the order they happened on stream.

Someone in chat wrote about a fake doll

Book of Ra 6 Deluxe is spinning in the background, but all eyes are on chat. Someone types "Good for that fake doll!" and Liene reads it out. Ilona answers without anger and with facts: lashes, lips, hair - it all costs money and, honestly, a lot of it. If you've got the money and can afford it, why not? The way she sees it, the people who write most about "fake beauty" are the ones who can't afford it themselves. Meanwhile Liene admits she went two months without eyebrows and is finally getting them done next week. The commenter wanted a fight and got a lecture on budgeting.

Ilona on her former castmates

In the background Big Bass Amazon Xtreme stacks up €616.32 in free spins, but Ilona has more pressing matters. She's talking about the people she was on a show with. She never says anything about them; they, on the other hand, have plenty to say about her, because she, you know, plays. Halfway through, Liene asks her to buy something and Ilona cuts her off: "I'm telling you and telling you, and you're not listening." Then comes the line of the clip, the kind you could print on a mug: "Your life is so boring that you talk about me all the time." There's also a hint about someone's photos online that we won't repeat here. At the end Ilona breathes out: "That feels better." Same here.

The question Liene didn't answer

Madame Destiny Megaways with a 5x multiplier pays €260.97 in the background, but chat wants to know something else entirely. We won't repeat the question: it was about Liene's sex life, and it would be hard to phrase it more crudely. Liene says plainly that she won't answer questions like that. Then she turns it back on whoever asked with one line, and that line is why this clip is here. Twenty-five seconds, and the only one left feeling awkward is chat.

A €300 bonus and girl maths

On Sugar Rush 1000 Ilona buys the bonus: ten free spins for €300 at a €3 bet. A few spins in, the screen shows about €4 and Liene sums it up: "That really is the fastest way to blow your money." Then the diagnosis - girl maths: "They give you fifteen euros and you spend three hundred. That's what happens when you go shopping." Ilona doesn't argue: spending money is something she's good at. After the tenth spin the screen reads €15.90.

It's also the most useful clip of the four. A bonus buy is an expensive route to free spins: you pay 100 times your bet up front, and what comes back can be more, or a lot less. This time €300 brought back €15.90. Why one evening says so little about a game's return is explained in our piece on RTP and volatility.

Verdict

The game wasn't the point this time, but here are the numbers: Big Bass Amazon Xtreme paid €616.32, Madame Destiny Megaways €260.97, and the Sugar Rush 1000 bonus buy returned €15.90 out of €300. Still, nobody watches Only Wins for the spins. They watch for Ilona and Liene, who spend two hours answering chat, commenters and each other without letting anyone off the hook. If you like streams with more talking than spinning, this is your night. In the previous Only Wins review chat found out where Juris lives - worth a watch too. The next stream is coming soon, and we'll watch it for you again.
