New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[greylady]

Well I always said if things didn't improve by the end of March I would hang up my slotting hat for good and that is exactly what I have done.

Yes, I had two wins amounting to £343 in months of play, £100 back out in comps and to Glassheart and the slots have become dead for me again - I even tried new ones I had never played before but all I got was dead spins so it's time to call it a day for me so there will be no more chasing Bonanza, or any other slot come to that.

 

[goatwack]

I do agree the allure of the GOLD is what gets people chasing, I simply believe from experience playing this game with a typical low roller balance is foolhardy.

There's a popular myth that the base game sustains small balances, that is completely detached from reality. You'll lose £20 on it, think "Hmmm, this is unlike Bonanza", redeposit another five or six times and still not guarantee a bonus.

I don't believe there to be anything remotely natural about the flow of the gameplay, and this includes those one in twenty strangely good sessions where the bonuses won't stop. Still, the amount of times I've obtained a high multiplier with 8-10 spins left, only to see them all fall flat is unreal.

That's not to say you can't ever have a holly jolly time on it from time to time, by golly when that happens drop everything because it might not happen again for a while. It's just that if you were to look up the word 'compensated', you'd have a picture of a gold D staring back at you

The figures for base game/bonus round RTP distribution were posted here - My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

It's 74% in the base game and just 22% in the bonus rounds. (So the illustrative figures Harry used above are pretty much bang on! )

There are quite a few other comments in that thread about the slot that folks may find useful. I also had several people leave comments on my Bonanza video on YouTube to say that they successfully use the slot for meeting WRs as so much of the RTP is in the base game, but you still have a chance of hitting something big in a bonus round.

Honestly, I'd consider using the slot to grind a WR myself. (Although IMO that's about all it's good for as I find it so boring to play.) 96% RTP is solid, there's a lot of RTP in the base game, and the bonus rounds can hit big. (I had an 818x stake a couple of nights ago. Screenshot and video in the April 2008 Winners Screenshots thread.)

Don't think I've ever observed or heard both DOA and Bonanza described as low variance twice in one week.

I need to lie down for a bit.

Simple logic behind it:

Even when in a very foul mood both DoA and Bonanza usually still spit out a base game RTP of 50%+, which is why I call them low variance
What I call high variance is something like Book of Dead, when that is in a foul mood the base game RTP easily drops to the wrong side of 20%.

I don't know about calling 50% low variance. Medium to high, still.

Comparatively, BoD is just very high variance.

 

[pinnit2014]

I've been playing Bonanza, DOA and Reactoonz/Multifruit81 nearly solely since the start of the year. 1000x pluses on the last two several times but barely, if any, on Bonanza. I like playing it so i will continue to do so but i'm really not convinced personally of it - the fact that people are ecstatic to hit 500 x sometimes tells a story. Maybe we all just expect more in life in general

 

[mcgameboy]

i Dont think its dumb at all , lets see the odds of this happening , penny for your thoughts , compensated rings a bell here.

Well I do not agree with that. I think it is nothing more than a case of a VERY, VERY freakish super-rare sequence of events rather than being a "sign" that it is a compensated slot. I will 100% accept that the sequence that Lincoln experienced is extremely unlikely/extremely improbable.

But is it IMPOSSIBLE? NO.

For me, Bonanza is just the latest in a long line of medium to high variance slots that can demonstrate an extremely volatile range of results.
I do not believe for one second that Bonanza is compensated. Because if I did, I would stop playing it in a heartbeat.

If you want to agree with snorky's point of view, then that's fine. I have no problem with that.

But I point blank refuse to buy into this BS narrative that he seems determined to shove down our throats at literally every opportunity.
He used the words "the best proof that I have ever seen that slots are not random". Well I don't see any "proof".
All I see is the latest insinuation (or should I say "theory"? ) made by a paranoid, top-tier tinfoiler and sore loser who needs to point the finger of blame at someone, anyone, for his numerous sub-optimal, losing Bonanza experiences. And what's it based on?
Mere "gut feelings" and perhaps more importantly, frustration at his ever-increasing quantity of losing sessions.
Yeah, we can always depend on a frustrated, losing player to provide an objective analysis, can't we?

I'm not EVER going to take seriously the utter drivel that comes from someone who, in this thread alone, has said he...

- thinks the game is rigged
- thinks the game is broken
- thinks the game is compensated
- thinks the game is "unfair" (ie "not letting him win")
- thinks the game is undeserving of being passed as fair and legitimate
- thinks the game has been changed because he hasn't hit 250x in over a month and only had two plus fives in that month (yeah that one really made me laugh - oh I haven't hit anything decent in a month, so it must be rigged/changed yeah? And since when does getting a plus five actually carry that much importance anyway, given that some people see it as more of a bad sign of things to come than a good one?)
- thinks the game had its maths checked post-testing by fucking Stevie Wonder
- thinks the game is clearly not random

and yet, while thinking all of the above THEN also decides to do the following (these are frankly the two cherries on the top of this tinfoiling cake)....

- suggest there is something "well dodgy" about a slot, then goes ahead and plays it with his own money!
- suggest that we should all boycott the game, then promptly goes ahead and plays it himself!

In all seriousness, WHO in their right mind would say ALL OF THE ABOVE about ANY slot and then CONTINUE to play the damn thing?
Someone please tell me, I'd really like to know.

It's getting beyond the joke now. Every time I read one of his posts, I find myself laughing my arse off at the sheer stupidity of them.
Tinfoil hatter? Jesus Christ, he hasn't only got the tinfoil hat, he's got the tinfoil tie, tinfoil shirt, tinfoil shoes and tinfoil three-piece suit to go with it.
I'll give him this much, at least he wears them with pride.

And this person thinks he is qualified to pass off his numerous theories and opinions as FACTS?
Gimme a break, for crying out loud. All I see are a collection of mini-rants from a problem gambler who lacks the maturity to accept his losses and the willpower to stay away from a game that he thinks is more bent than a nine bob note.

Frankly, it's getting beyond pathetic.

 

[snorky510238]

I always seemed to get the bonus rounds in close succession when the wins were not worth the bother, got two retriggers the last time I played making for 22 spins and most of them were dead - what is the point?

I am absolutely baffled by my game play on Videoslots, thousands and thousands of spins on Bonanza since the start of December and not once have I managed to get above my starting balance - ok I know I don't do well there at the best of times but this, for me, has to be the worst result ever across any site

I have the same problem at slots millions every deposit chewed up in minutes.No bonus rounds hardly(if I get 1 it pays x10 or less)I have given up on them after checking deposit history.Just lately though all my bonus rounds anywhere seem to be ridiculously low.I had 4 scatters on BoaW last night and it paid X1.5!!!!!!!Ten or so spins later triggered it again(3 scatters)thought I might get some compensation only for it to pay x4.Really starting wonder if it's worth bothering.

 

[nutnut]

Think you're being harsh on him Mcgameboy. One of reasons I have stopped(again), is becuase it feels like it's a slot you put funds in then pays you so much back after a while. I might be wrong

Given the abuse and aggression in this post, I think it's you who has the issues not Snorky.

Thank you for your reply.Just wondered if you could be a bit more specific as I am not sure if you agree with me or not.

 

[goatwack]

I think it's only fair to question the validity of this slot, especially given how players are told to shut up and carry on at every turn.

Bonanza is a simple case of players noticing very strange re-occurences, and them simply calling it out. No one's imagining the constant losses on it.

Most do give it the benefit of the doubt, only to end up seeing the slot for what it is. A glorified AWP

 

[Jono777]

Moaning out loud to myself about "another piss poor bonus round" and.....





New PB by a mile but made me sweat till the final spin

 

[shadow123]

I have played Bonanza a lot and am probably way down on on it,but never have I felt it was rigged.It is full of randomness,
I never know if It going to give me a run for the money, crucify me or drop the big one.
White Rabbit on the other hand feels very rigged but not compensated.

Nice hit Jon, now remember to avoid it for a week or it will take it back

 

[aceking123]

oh dear i only asked for a penny worth of thoughts not a pounds worth mcgameboy

Upshot is i don't play the game that often , but you know what when some classic players here say there is something not right about i do listen i listen to many members these guys have gone with great lengths & found the slot to be lacking.

I to be fair couldn't really give a toss about the game, but im not going to slam these players what moan about it either , i still don't see why his question was dumb , i shall bow out of bothering to waste my time on typing in future )

Ps what you don't like that i said compensated slot , it won't be the first time neither the last this has been done ! most slots came from this to start with , whos to say servers do not work like this.

No one remind McGameboy of the time I called him a nincompoop please, cheers guys

[nutnut]

Since Mcgameboy states it's not rigged or a compensated slot, and the rest of us are dumb and addicts to think otherwise. I will go back to playing it now.........well when my deposit limits reset in 4 weeks

I think majority of us been consistent in our bullshit tin foil theories. even when we have won it has not side tracked us from fact this slot is more dangerous than jimmy saville in school playground.

Brutal raping on this slot last two weeks.

£6000 down (william hill) playing at £5 / £10 / £20 stakes.

Indeed it took and I am not joking £2000 of deposits to trigger the first bonus.
This paid me back about £1500, so "only" about £500 down! That is when I should of walked.

The chase / greed factor then kicked in, It then paid another bonus pretty quickly on a £10 stake which paid a paltry £300.
I continued to play at tilt stakes and it sucked approx £4000 of me, It did give a bonus on £5 which paid minimal about £150.

I closed the game down and set a deposit limit in place.

Went to slots million, £4000 yes £4000 total deposits, high stakes again £5 / £10 / £20 stakes.

It took again £2000 approx to get a bonus (£5 stake) it paid peanuts.
I upped the bet to £10, the bonus dropped pretty quickly after the first about 20 spins (this paid about £800.

So from being overall up about £8000 on different sites, it has sucked it all back.

Moral is for me, when your ahead or well ahead as I was, walk run take the money get the bloody hell off it (it remembers dont you know)

IP address tracking / winning too much / email address / username / etc etc etc.

Of course, all tinfoil / conspiracy theories..................

 

[nutnut]

Gtpaul i would avoid willhill i too set deposit limits as slot sucked me dry. I have experienced exact same pattern as you. All though a lot lower stakes.

Dont feed it anymore money

 

[goatwack]

That's insane, 6K....

Thing is it could easily keep going without even breaking sweat. You win, then prepare for the long drought....

Given the fact you can easily wait 1000 spins and more for the feature you actually triggered it relatively quickly.Blows your mind to think at an average of your stakes that could be in the region of £12,000 before it triggers.NOT for the faint hearted.
