## Summary

This video is a slot machine review of IGT's new game, Stinking Link, presented by the Slots Today channel. The host plays 200 spins across two versions of the game (cowboy and tropical) to evaluate bonus frequency, line hits, and overall gameplay, aiming to give viewers an informed decision on whether to play.

### Key Points

- **Channel Mission** [00:26] — Slots Today tests new slots at the casino with 200 spins at different denominations to help viewers make informed decisions.
- **Starting Bet** [01:38] — The host starts with a 2-cent minimum bet ($2) on the cowboy version of Stinking Link.
- **Bonus Triggers** [03:19] — Three trash can symbols trigger the 'Trash for Cash' bonus, and three keys in a row on a payline trigger the 'Keys to Riches' free games.

- **Bonus Improvement** [07:06] — The host prefers this bonus over the original Stinking Rich because matching values directly gives credits, making it more straightforward.
- **IGT Merger** [10:31] — The host speculates that IGT's merger with Everi might affect game quality, but notes positive feedback on remakes of classic games.
- **1% Rule** [11:45] — The host explains he runs 100 spins on new slots to gauge performance, as any machine can be bad at any time.
- **First Session Results** [15:43] — After 100 spins on the cowboy version, the host got two trash can bonuses and two wilds, finding the game better than the original.
- **Tropical Version** [16:32] — The host switches to the tropical version at a 1-cent minimum bet ($1) to keep bets realistic for average players.
- **Gameplay Comparison** [18:16] — The tropical version plays more like the original Stinking Rich, with potential for dead spins but big bonuses.
- **Bonus Strategy** [22:45] — In the trash can bonus, the host believes choices can be wrong, and progressive meters can be won, with mini being the minimum.
- **Final Verdict** [26:48] — After 100 spins on the tropical version, the host ended with $95, noting the game is volatile but the trash can bonus is frequent. He recommends it as a definite play.

### Conclusion

Stinking Link is a promising new slot from IGT, offering frequent trash can bonuses and potential for big wins, though it remains volatile. The host recommends it for players seeking a fun, potentially rewarding experience.

## Transcript

local neighborhood firefighter and on today's episode of Slots Today, Play or Pass, we are checking out IGT's newest game, Stinking Link. So, let's get at
game, Stinking Link. So, let's get at it. [music]
channel, slots today is all about trying out brand new slots at the casino so that when you come, you can have an informed decision on whether or not you want to play them. What we do is we do 200 spins generally at [music] different
denominations or different bet multipliers and on different slots. So if we're playing on one, we do 100 spins, we'll move to another one because at any time a slot can just be bad. [music] So we want to kind of see how it
performs on a different machine. And 200 spins is enough to kind of give you a feel how frequent is the bonus, how good are the line hits, and obviously we want to try different bet denominations just because the return to player is going to
be a little bit different. So it might affect it just just a little bit. So today we're playing on stinking link. I absolutely love Stinking Rich. I've hit some of my biggest hand pace on Stinking Rich. It is one of my favorite favorite
see this. I like how this [music] machine looks. It's cheesy, but not in a bad way. So, there's two different versions here. We're going to start on the one with the cowboy, and we're going to see what happens.
start off at two cents minimum bet, which is $2. So, all of the denominations start off minimum bet with 100 credits.
Oh, cool. Okay, so these all grow up at the top. of this, y'all. These cabinets are of this, y'all. These cabinets are always hard to get into uh the videos.

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> And we're back. Sorry. was talking to some uh some fans. Anytime y'all see [music] me, please Anytime y'all see [music] me, please feel free to come up and say hello.
They kept the music from the original Stinking Rich, different. It's almost got like a a country twang to it. >> [music]
[music] it looks like we can randomly trigger any of the bonuses or if we get three of those trash can bonuses, that gets us into the bonus.
And the keys to the riches, if we get three in a row on a payline, that'll get three in a row on a payline, that'll get us into the free games. And the number of free games that we get is kind of dependent on how many pay lines we get.
Stinking Rich will get it. It's kind of hard to explain. Hopefully, we'll get it and I can show you what I'm talking about. [music]
So, the old man and the old woman are our best symbol. progressions. They're getting pretty big, but as y'all know, they don't mean
anything. They can pop randomly at any time.

all of this. So, hopefully we can unlock everything up to the top. Now, we get to choose any of these trash can lids. [music]
Pretty similar to our original Stinking Rich game. Ah, of course, we get to fish right off the bat. So, two of those and game's over. Oh, okay. So, the keys are just you get credits and keys. That's cool. [music]
And we got that progressive meter. So, in a minimum, we're going to get the So, in a minimum, we're going to get the mini. [music]
[music] Remember, everything here is times two. We're at two cents.
Oh, at least we [music] get something for the fish. Oh, that's cool. >> [music]
well, look at that, y'all. We got the miner. [music] miner. [music] Heck yeah. [music] Easy money.
Man, I like this a lot. This is so much better than the original. So, the you basically matched and whatever value that you matched is what you got. I like this a lot better. That was a really good bonus.
>> Wowers. I I'm very happy. Love being in profit [music] territory, especially so early into the game. especially so early into the game. [music]
Let's see if we can do that keys to riches bonus.
Let me know down in the comments if you're a Stinking Rich fan or have you you're a Stinking Rich fan or have you played Oh, or have you played [music] played Oh, or have you played [music] Stinking Link?
I'm digging the the country music twang here.
[music] Come on, stinking link. I mean, I'm happy to be in profit, so I'm not going to complain. [music] Oh. Oh, do it. Do it. Give us the give Oh. Oh, do it. Do it. Give us the give us the keys to the riches.
>> Oh, wait. Oh, what a bunch of blockers. 12 bucks. That had so much potential. That could have been huge, y'all.
starting bank roll, but Oh, I was really [music] hoping we'd trigger like the keys to the riches bonus. bonus. [music]
their classic slots. From something's changed with them. Now, they did recently merge with Every.
And so, I'm wondering if that [music] merger, they let Every take over the merger, they let Every take over the mass side cuz a lot of their the games that they put out over the last couple years haven't been the best. But I've
been hearing [music] a lot of good things about the remakes of the classic things about the remakes of the classic games.
Dpping into our original bankroll now. [music]
>> Oh, about 3/4 of the way [music] through. Now, some of you might be wondering why [music] 100 spins. Now, a lot of people have heard of the 1% rule. It's not something I [music] particularly follow,
but it's something that I do follow when it comes to a brand new slot. Oh, that's good. Oh, would I have thought that would have been better. So, anytime there's a new game that comes out, [music] I just like to run
comes out, [music] I just like to run 100 spins through it on different machines because at any [music] point in time, any machine can be bad, right? um gives me a feel of how the game plays.
that's kind of [music] how I dictated what I was going to put on the channel. And I figured, you know what? [music] Why not show that to y'all? I've never been a big fan of [music] putting popular games that are bad for
the low limit player on the channel. I want to just put games that I feel are good for y'all on the channel. So, I figured why not show you the good, the figured why not show you the good, the bad, [music] and everything in between.
get more of her. She's our best paying symbol.
All right. Oh, wow. >> That's a good one.
[music] Overall, we're doing pretty good. [music] It's actually playing a little bit better than the original.
[music] >> Man, they are getting big up there. Oh, hey, we got the trash for cash again.
>> man. I'm digging the bonus frequency. That used to be really hard to get. [music]
All right, no fish this time. Oh, come on. [music]
>> We need him when we have all the trash cans uncovered.
>> I can smell it and it smells good. No.
But at least we're above our starting point. And we're not done yet. And there we go. That's 100 spins. Little [music] last spin magic,
stinking link. Pretty cool. I'm digging it. We got two of the trash can bonuses, which is really hard to do. We got two of the wilds. Uh the line hits are about what I would expect from Stinking Rich. Uh the original Stinking Rich was a bit
tight, but the bonuses can be incredible. [music] And I think the trash can bonus, the way it looks is that how you pick actually will determine. So, you can make the wrong choice. So, that's really cool. I'm I'm
really digging this. Really digging it. So, let's move over to I guess it's the tropical version of Stinking Link and give that one a shot.
goes. We're at 1 cent now. Minimum bet $1. Now, we could have done $2, but figured why not stay at minimum bet. [music] I think a lot of people tend to start off at minimum bet or play around that
level. So, I'm trying to keep the bet amounts realistic for the average player. Oh, Oh, [music]
[music] I don't know if it's Oh, there we go. software or just this cabinet,
but [music] there seems to be just a little bit of a lag when the bonuses are little bit of a lag when the bonuses are kind of triggered, [music]
a little bit more uh gameplay time because I'm waiting a little bit longer because I'm waiting a little bit longer to see if those [music] things pop.
different, too. [music] This one's got a kind of a tropical This one's got a kind of a tropical little twang to it.
>> So, this one's [music] playing a little bit more like the original, but you know, I did find that in the original Stinking Rich [music] that a
original Stinking Rich [music] that a hundred times [music] actually really good for that particular game just because you [music] can have a ton of dead spins, but then you'll get these
bonuses that like shoot you all the way back up. back up. [music] Most of the time I tend to lean towards like a 2% rule.
Keys to Riches cuz I want to see how that one plays on here. [music]
like it? [music] Leave a comment down below.
>> All right. So, we're about halfway through now. [music] I [music] might be off one or two spins. I forgot to bring my clicker this trip. Normally, I have like a little [music] counter that I bring. helps me keep
track. So, I can talk and still keep track of how many spins I'm doing. track of how many spins I'm doing. [music]
Kind of finding the music really soothing. [music] really good on their [music] more recent games. I played their newest version games. I played their newest version [music] of Wolfrun and Coyote Moon and
killed it. [music] So, I don't know if that video is going So, I don't know if that video is going to post before this one or after, but it is a definite [music] watch. Amazing session.
not so well. [music] We're getting down to the wire here. We need something good.
[music] [bell]
Huh? Oh, it's just a [music] haywire. Okay. Oh, it's just a [music] haywire. Okay. Hey, I'll take it. We needed that. All right, we know what we got to do here. No fish.
here. No fish. All keys. [music] All right. We need to unlock it all the
All right. We need to unlock it all the way.
So, the way this is playing, I'm guessing. Nice. Nice. And we get that progressive meter. I think you can absolutely make the wrong choice. Oh, man.
predetermined. I think I can absolutely choose the wrong Oh, yes. Okay. No fish. No fish. No fish. No fish. No fish. No fish.
At least we get credits for them. And we got two of these progressive meters. All right. Let's get that major. Major. Maxi. [music] Grand. Grand mini.
I'll take a mini. I'll take a mini. [music] Anything
Uh uh and a [music] miter. All right. This is going to be a good bonus. This is going to be a good bonus. [music]
Don't want to disturb the people trying to eat breakfast.
We are back above our starting point. That was a close call, [music] y'all.
Okay, so we still got some spins left. We're $17 ahead. Hopefully we can stay up
keys to the riches bonus. >> [music]
[music] that trash for cash up there. We got a haywire. So, that thing could pop. [music] Those
Oh no, we're coming down to the wire. [music] >> A blocker keys.
Oh no, we're going below our starting budget. minute magic. Come on, pop it. Pop it.
Well, no luck. But hey, not bad, actually. Oh my gosh, you guys. I can't tell you how much I like Stinking Link.
$95, right? 100 spins. We were ahead on the first game. kind of a volatile game, and I think they actually lowered the volatility. Now, you saw you can get a lot of dead spins, but man, that trash can bonus is
spins, but man, that trash can bonus is [music] frequent. That being said, these uh metamorphic progressions, as you can see, they're huge, and we never got that wild uh and we never actually popped the trash can bonus. The trash can bonus is
trash can bonus. The trash can bonus is still full. We got a haywire. So, as always, don't chase those. But I think this is a definite play. I think I will definitely play this game again and maybe at higher limits cuz there is some
potential here. Well, y'all, let me know down in the liking the series. I'm doing this so that you can have an informed [music] decision when you come to the casino. There's so many games out here and you
