I've got to say, I've actually been really enjoying this competition. I used to be a £2 a spin guy for years, decided that I was losing way too much at that stake so I took a break at that point for a few months, stopped recording and posting big win videos and mentally shifted down a gear. On return to the slots I started playing 20-30p spins. Bank roll is always a £200 deposit for those stakes and I've been enjoying it ever since. I really have shifted to enjoying the gameplay more than looking for a profit and it's amazing how long one deposit will last these days on an average run.
Not been a massive Bonanza fan over the years, but this current long run of focused play on it has actually dispelled my concern over feature frequency, maybe I've just been lucky. Also, hitting over 1000x and just under 1000x and a 32 spin trigger just during this comp it seems I have been dealt more than my portion of luck already.
I'm also quite OCD when I get my teeth into a project, hence the number of screenshots, and I'm playing exclusively at VS, I completed all the achievements on Bonanza around a week ago and reset the meters, I just achieved them all again last night - that gives you an idea on how many spins I've put through it.
Best of luck to everyone though! There's definitely a holy grail feature to come from somebody before the end, I'm sure of it!
