Bonanza Broken???

[dogshead1]

What is going on with Bonanza after numerous bonuses until this week getting raped on £2 features which I get all excited about as I don't like to bet that high its made a substantial turnaround. All I see is KKs and Diamonds everywhere huge base game hits and loads of features. all paying over 300x on average.

A £100 deposit at Casumo this week and saying bollox to low stakes I bet £2 spins and triggered the feature in 3 spins for 192x then 12 later took it for another 258x and 3 deposits today throughout the day is still paying megabucks I'm 2k up from 3x £100 deposits. Absolute crazy stuff!!

 

[Mouche12]

Yep, it can be generous at times - or suck you dry in a few minutes.

 

[Nate]

Those streaks are there - hear of them occasionally - One thing to expect is an absolutely jaw dropping dry streak afterwards - guaranteed!

When I used to play it, I had the occasional 200x and then it starts going dry with streaks of 20x to 30x features (IF you are lucky). Then it flips around you wont see the feature for a while.

Anyways, good luck and take the bastard for all you can.

Cue 3 months of the OP getting stiffed by Bonanza.

That bloody Rabbit has been cruel to me lately, actually got a 9x bonus the other day on it.
Glad I didnt buy the bugger

 

[curremon]

My problem at bonanza is that its been 6 days of year 2018, i have played atleast 1000 spins a day , i havent seen single feature ...

 

[greylady]

I have not seen a feature since 18 December after thousands of spins - it's strange how it's cold for some and hot for others at exactly the same time, maybe it does track wins and losses.

Sorry I just remembered I got a feature just before Christmas, which paid 2000x bet but as it came from free spins winnings, withdrawal was capped at £50 and boy am I paying for it.

 

[pinnit2014]

Best run of features yesterday in 1000 spins, albeit returns not great. Doubt it tracks or targets people. Last week was grim with none in 2500 etc. Swings and roundabouts.

 

[curremon]

Maybe its regional? some parts of world can win and rest of us eat dust

Well i would be super pissed & would not return to play it, why would you play a slot like that when you can have your funds capped , thats a deep lesson learned there ((

I know! I honestly didn't expect to get my best win from a paltry sum won from free spins - I won't be making that mistake again.

 

[deepsky2]

Bonanza been brutal to me for 8 weeks. lost tons of money, been sticking to game thinking I'll get at least one good bonus, It owes me right?? but only got a bonus a few times on stakes from $2 to $10 and paid lihe 10x.

A few months back had really good runs with this slot but find getting the bonus has been in different patterns for example when game first came out several gol and always waiting for the d to drop, then for weeks was getting bonus with gold straight in and sometimes with 5 and 10 extra spins. Now not only the d not dropping in but going several thousands of spins with nothing. And seems the L has gone on vacation with D and these patterns go on for weeks.
I have prob completed my Bonanza achievement over 15 times now on Videoslots. My fault for the amount of loss recently been sticking mostly to bonanza but I have come to realize the time I get a 14000x win I prob will have spent 1500000x to get it

 

[goatwack]

Yes, the game is broken! As in the traditional 'broken' whereby it's an untested, erratic, smorgasbord mess that BTG are letting run riot on hapless players.

If by broken you mean having one decent session and then watching subsequent successive deposits disappear into the compensated ether, then yes, I'd say it's fairly broken. The game's a hot mess.....it'll take £100 off you only to give you a £90 'big win'

So I wouldn't go counting my chickens on it just yet

 

[lockinlove]

I think its anyone who starts with the name lock means you cannot win

You're not special love. The game hates everyone equally

 

[lockinlove]

You're not special love. The game hates everyone equally

I bet if Trump played it. "CNN says bonanza hates me, thats not true. Bonanza loves me, I talk to bonanza all the time. And they love Trump ok.. ok big fan of Trump. Believe me."

But to respond your comment, its discriminatory against all people named lock. Trust me, I feel the direct hate.

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Ouch. That's one of my slotting nightmares, I stay well away from high variance slots when I have any caps, I remember winning like a 1000e or something and being capped at 100 euros, very annoying. Just stick to lower variance, although I suppose even Starburst could give you a full screen

I remember you going on a crazy run and hitting all those amounts you did. You were lucky as hell and I wanted to tell you to take it and never play it again but thats near impossible for someone who is winning thousands on a slot. They think if they can do it once they can do it again.

 

[Mouche12]

For some reason, IME, when I had lucky sessions on this slot my luck would continue if I reopened the game say an hour later. It continued to be in a giving mood for that particular night (but then of course return to its usual miserly self the next day).

 

[Jono777]

OP easily explained.

BTG rep has been reading the Bonanza thread on this forum ad decided to stop taking the piss for a limited time. It'll be back to business as usual from tomorrow.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

Pretty sad this is only really one of the first threads ive seen of its kind on this forum. For every person who catches it hot there are 50,000 losers.

Bonanza is a nightmare.

 

[greylady]

I think people play it as they know of it's potential but in reality when you get a decent win, it goes on a cold streak for weeks until it has clawed back all the money and more, only to start the cycle again - eventually it will become 'old news' when people realise long term that you can't stay up on it for long and abandon it for something more enticing.

It's done it's job, hooked people in and now the downside is really showing up.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

his next thread will be 'what happened, bonanza raped me'

 

[goatwack]

his next thread will be 'what happened, bonanza raped me'

"Help me, I've been Bone-nanza-d"

is a thread I'll be looking out for

 

[aceking123]

Its just like any other slot produced ( high variance ) im not sure why people get so tied up in playing it , granted the only thing i can see & having played it not often it could be great for wagering purposes it is a very very clever design of slot & i think BTG has done very well with it. a well produced slot indeed.

These massive wins everyone seems to go on about are little seen , pink elephants by thunderkick has shown more wins, it seems you lot are chasing the pot of gold which may come but to very very few players , i take note from a few forum members nate, lockinlove & harry as we are older members we see past the bullshit , if nate is struggling its a slot you should play when you can afford too & if those monster wins you are chasing better have a decent size bet on it at least a pound on wards.

a slot you wanna try for last 8 weeks is immortal romance this has been far more brutal on a personal level than bonanza has been to me. again high variance slot.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Had my fair share of hard times on it in the past 2 days, overall some 2K down after ending last week about 1.5K up.

Agree with aceking, this slot is not for the fainthearted and certainly should not be played too often with a small balance as it can drain deposit after the deposit, not fast but steadily without any worthwhile wins.

This was, at the same time, the best trigger ever and the second worst payout I had in Free Spins. And there was me thinking I might be in for something special since I started the FS round with 102x bet already.

 

[nutnut]

This game has got worse since the new year. No bonus rounds, no base game wins and balance gone within 15 minutes. It's downright awful, and for OP who had those nice wins 99% of us are paying for it. So enjoy that win and do a runner as it will 100% take all you won and more back within days if you keep going back to it.

 

[slotmaster]

I'm trying to stay away, Have barely played the last like 2 weeks cause I'm sick of losing in like a hour.

 

[nutnut]

Just my luck, i took a willhill bonus with 600 wagering and hit this after 100 spins.........chances of cashing out are slim. why o why 1 time you take a bonus do you get a decent win!! ugh

 

[Jono777]

Reading this thread (well the OP mainly ) I thought "oh well I throw today's go in early and try Bonanza" It might work one day, only been waiting 14 years lol.

Turned £25 into £100 in about 10 minutes, this being the highlight....

Lost a bit back now so turned it off till later this evening, one never knows

 

[nutnut]

out of interest. what do people do when hit a big win early on during wagering on a bonus?

i tend to double my stake to bust or clear quickly and hope for another decent win. or do people micro stake it?

 

[goatwack]

Jaysus, looks like Bonanza really is hot tonight.

Off to get that Payday Loan now, gimme a sec.....

Heres what you do GAMBLE IT ) & make the wagering

 

[greylady]

I tried flying high when my balance was at £280 and I could only withdraw £50, went from .80p/£1/£2 bets and it took the lot, well £230 without a bonus or a bat of an eye and I ran with the £50.

Increase steadily if balance is doing the same but never (or very, very rarely any heroic stakes)

Never stay on same game too long, remember, tomorrow is another day.

Not giving away any more trade secrets for tonight

 

[nutnut]

im too in patience jono

anyway doubling up was not best idea. 250 now at 130........... might cash out 20 at this rate!

oh and 20+ GOL since of course haha

 

[nutnut]

As you can see i held my bottle at 80p even though dropped below 100..........of course bonus round for the stake was a garbage win....

180 to wager with 140 balance....will finish off on 80p and hope for best

When you got the £200+ win, I would of been swopping to a low variance high % paying slot to complete wagering.

Hope you make the last bit with a decent collect though.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

I'm trying to stay away, Have barely played the last like 2 weeks cause I'm sick of losing in like a hour.

My average it took to hit a bonus went from 1 out of every 512 spins the first two months to now 1 in every 788 spins per bonus. And it was getting worse and worse each month. My average trigger was probably 1 ever 1300 spins for about 4 months.

 

[goatwack]

One in 700- 1300 spins is just terrible by anyone's standards. But really none of us should be surprised given that it needs four bloody scatters to trigger, and the 'D' taking the occasional leave of absence

 

[greylady]

I find the 'L' has a tendency to do a disappearing act too just to accompany the 'D'!

You're right, the D gets a bad rap. The O is just as shameful.....and don't even get me started on the G

Lol, Don't do that, I will go halfsies wth ya.

the more you play it the worse it gets. Its a slot to go and do 50-100 spins on once and awhile see if you can get lucky. Chasing anything on this will resort to a complete disaster.

Yer, I was late to the party and had some good bonuses on it....at first. Now, I'm finding more and more craptastic ones creeping in, and being unable to get much further than 10 or 12x multipliers. When the slot's on fire it can be like no other, but it's becoming very rare now.

Who says slots don't have a built-in memory

Been there 3 times Bonanza, Book of Dead and Jungle Spirit all wins capped then went dead for months

So I wouldn't go counting my chickens on it just yet

Hence why I chose to term it as broken it took me for heaps first before a quick splurge of cash, just at a good time for me and I've took my winnings are kept a low profile

LMAO I did create that thread not so long back

 

[Jd666]

I now haven't played Bonanza for a few days.
Am I missing it?
Well I am off to see a counsellor tomorrow haha.

No, seriously not missing it at all.

I went out playing the UK fruit machines yesterday.
Made 70 quid and was out for eight hours and enjoyed it more than I am enjoying online lately.

 

[dogshead1]

Cue 3 months of the OP getting stiffed by Bonanza.

Well last week I took it for over 2k profit,

Started like this after I cashed out on 4 previous deposits of £300 total, and today's I had my stats to hand as below. Been running the same everytime so counting this about 1600 spins before finally got the bonus and the slot came alive again.
