Its Good to Be Bad Slot
It's Good to be Bad Slot was launched by
RealTime Gaming in 2002 and it is still a very popular game as its
one of the only slot games where you can actually win by losing!. It's a
3 reel game with a built in progressive . It's available in both a $0.25
version and a $1 version, and the progressive jackpot begins at $100,000
on the dollar game and at $25,000 on the quarter version. You're only
eligible to win the progressive jackpot if you make the maximum bet,
which in this case is 3 coins.

progressive jackpot, you have to LOSE 29 spins in a row on the game.
Your losing spins are tracked on the Loss Meter, and after 4 losing
spins, you receive free winning spins based on how many losing spins
you've had in a row. Normally it sucks to lose, but in this game, it
really IS good to be bad
Atlanta, GA – January 23, 2002 – Online casino software developer RealTime Gaming recently announced the release of the new "It's Good To Be Bad" Slot game, a 3-reel progressive slot game with an innovative twist: players can win free spins and
huge bonuses –by losing.
The ground breaking available for play through RealTime
Gaming powered online casinos – operates like a standard slot game,
until a player goes on a losing streak. That's when the bonuses start to
pile up. "Players don't like to lose. But now when they do, they still
get a chance to trade those losses in for big wins."

"Loser's" Bonus
So how bad do you have to lose in order to win big? It all depends on just how dry a run a player puts together, and how much they are willing to push their own "bad luck". Bonuses start after four straight losing spins, in the form of free spins – guaranteed
winners that pay anything found on the pay table – from 3 to 600 coins. The more times you lose in a row, the more free winning spins you can accumulate, up to a whopping 11,000 free spins. In addition, there's always the chance to take home the
ultimate bonus, a progressive jackpot of more than $100,000!
"With free spins, it's like someone else is feeding money into your machine until you win. It's no longer a question of if you'll hit a winner, it's how big will it be," says Michael McMain, RealTime's Director of Engineering, "And of course
there's also that Big Daddy out there, the multi-casino progressive jackpot".
Pushing "Bad" Luck
Putting together a losing streak that generates the greatest bonus opportunities takes more than luck; it also takes a lot of nerve. Free spins come often, but players must either cash in their free spins, or push on to try and lose again. "It
takes a certain amount of guts to take 5, 10, or even 1000 free spins – guaranteed winners – and put them on the line. But then again the payoffs can make it all worthwhile," says Staw.
