New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

I think BTG have left the office for the Easter holidays and left the bonus switched off on this slot, multiple sessions, thousands of spins over the past 24hrs and no bonus.

That being I said can't get a bonus round on Novamatics either, Netents are dishing out a sub 25% RTP and MG slots have been set to collect for the past 6 months.

Well our good friend has given my the highest of highs mid-week and low low nothing oh no for 48 hours.

Just over x1000


But then it’s only 4 days until the release of new chilli one. Obviously payouts can’t be altered at all (kappa) but can’t help wondering if they are busily priming the pots for the new game so we win to start and think it’s amazing.... hmmmmm.

I'm calling out any BTG rep to have an input onto what is up with this slot? still constantly lagging, server errors and disconnections, disconnections and not return of bet. Piss poor RTP and so on and so o....................

I sent a nice and polite pm to the BTG man here about connection to server issues/ auto play = crash etc and haven’t heard a thing
 
It’s got to the point now where I just simply can’t justify playing this anymore.

I’ve done tens of thousands of spins through this in the last couple of weeks and I’ve hit one feature at 120x and all the rest bar about an 80x have been between 1x and 30x.

Now based on the above I may just aswell have been rowing steam tower. The only difference being, that I would probably have hit at least 100 more bonuses and I’m sure I would have had the odd 100-200x.

For some reason and I don’t know why I’ve been sucked into this slot. If I was explaining my stupidity with regards to this slot to any rational human being who hadn’t seen a Dunover video they’d be questioning my sanity.

I mean why play a slot that promises so much but yet delivers so little.

There isn’t a single slot out there that can consistently take 1000+ spins to hit a bonus that on average hits around about the 30X mark. I mean think about it........ what other slot extracts the urine so much to give a bonus that is capable of nothing? And does this on a regular basis????? I don’t think there is one is there?

I must have played quarter of a million spins absolute minimum through this and yet hit 420X once as my highest ever hit. Just that stat alone should be enough to never play again.

I guess the reason why I carry on is because I dream of something that is unlikely to happen in another 5 million spins. Whilst I appreciate the base turnover is reasonable............. But so is jack and the beanstalk.

I keep thinking just give me a hit so I can never play again, yet I’m still waiting.

And on another note why is it that when u get the maximum ways, 99 times out of a hundred there isn’t a win there? Combined odds of that????? Over and over again? It’s a deliberate middle finger put in on purpose in my opinion.
 
It does make you think who passed this slot off as fair and legitimate.The problem I think is even if it was found to be faulty it's a can of worms that could never be opened.I may be wrong it's just a view to ponder.
 
Food for thought as an intellectual academic said to me not so long ago when I questioned the randomness of slots - if it's programmed by man, do you not think it is logical that it is controlled by man - nothing is infallible :)
 
after last nights session which ran until early hours. I have lost the sanity.

luckily no more funds to gamble so few days cooling off and can laugh at myself for ever going back too it
My sessions on it have been the same.I have no doubt these slots are tampered with on a daily basis.When it was relatively new you would see the odd +5 here and there x200 wins now and again but now it seems like your being screwed to the max.I haven't had a x250 in the last month and only 2 +5s so somethings changed.

exactly. i had lots of down to £1 upto £15. but the bonuses(rare as fuck) paid £3 to £5 EVERYTIME. just constant losing £5 deposits that spiral to nearly 200 before you know it. slot is ridiculous

Are you playing at VS? I just find that it plays totally different for me on there than any other site. Never had a retrigger once over thousands and thousands of spins, and I can't recall even having a +5 but i do notice how it never gives a bonus but continually runs me down to give me a wee win to run me down and so the cycle starts again until it gets it's RTP.

......or maybe it is just my on-going bad play there :D

I play it at quite a few different sites and it doesn't seem to matter which 1 the results seem the same.
 
Great timing.

Who sent you? PR department?

You know, if I was cynical I'd say that screenshot was almost too conveniently timed, given how the game's being slagged off.

Just as well I'm not the cynical type :laugh::cool:


Just to add that my results on this slot over the past couple of months or so have been horrendous.This is by far the biggest win I have ever had on Bonanza both by x amount and monetary value. I had x3 of £1.68 recently and just one of £12 two days ago. My biggest wins since this have been around x150-175 on £1 stakes. It's a love hate relationship with this game. I get more bonuses on this game than Danger High Voltage,which I find almost impossible to bonus,but the payouts on Bonanza are largely cr@p.
 
Here's my take on Bonanza.

PLEASE NOTE - There is a commentary maths error at 26m57s and 28m11s, the correct figure is £9,600,000 and not £9,960,000. I only noticed this after I'd finished editing the video together, rendered it out, and kicked off the upload. (Small sherries had been consumed at the time of filming.)

That is a great, objective synopsis of this game :thumbsup:

Most that have played it for too long have become somewhat blinded by its empty promises. In the cold light of day, it really is just a badly- designed, high variance monster.

I agreed with pretty much every point, especially the often- overlooked balance- to- stake ratio, or the fact that even making small deposits isn't going to benefit low rollers as it's just too greedy.

And yes, I do believe many players are coming to the end of the line with it. It's the usual cycle: hype, fascination, early promise, abject disappointment, feeling cheated :p



 
I agree with that video to an extend. However, if you compare the base game of Bonanza to Dead or Alive, I rather watch Bonanza's base game. You never know what you are going to get whilst with Dead or Alive you know the limitations of the base game - the max it will ever pay is the double sheriff star win. With Bonanza, the variation and with it the potential is so much higher.

What's wrong with limitations :p

DOA is like comfort food or watching a cheesy '80s classic film. You know what you're going to get but enjoy it anyway :laugh:

With Bonanza you're constantly on edge, not with excitement. And if you do get that wonder- hit in the basegame you may as well pop out to the shops because the next 300 spins will be 'somewhat below par'. Without fail. Now that's predictable :eek:
 
Can see both points, if I had to choose, I'd have to vote DoA (even though over the month's Bonanza hasn't been particularly bad to me (touch wood))

Least with DoA, there is very rarely the super long wait for a bonus round(s) even if it does pay piss poor, at least I got a "chance"

Now if the 'D' was a bit more forthcoming, I feel it would be (despite their huge differences in mechanics) a very even balance.
 
It is cleverly designed I admit but (for me anyway) the main RTP is coming from the base game, small consistent wins that do not make it worthwhile withdrawing and then it goes in for the kill like lightening totally depleting your balance - five months of playing this slot and I don't even want to think about how much I am down but I do know I am done with it!
 
I just can't fathom how most of us have been beaten down into thinking 500-1000 spins for a bonus is acceptable in any form. Especially given that they play out like most other slot bonuses 99% of the time. There isn't even a feature guarantee after all that suffering!

I recall how we'd all moan about how slots would bonus a bit longer than the average 150 spins or so, or how DOA would be a bastard. Nothing like this game though. Ahh the good old days :D

There's no way we should allow BTG to make this 'the norm'. Even with Extra Chilly the hit frequency is one in 230 and we're supposed to be happy with that.....except the bonus has been gimped and the they still try to claw those back via the gamble wheel :mad:

Slot design needs a major revamp, because this is not the way forward :cool:

My average is 2138 on Videoslots, not 500-1000!
 
Not sure how people can think Bonanza is high variance, it's really quite low. What it does have is potential to give some huge wins but their effect on rtp is tiny since they are so rare. Almost all of the rtp comes from small to medium wins, there is a reason people choose to play this game for wagering.
