Still do not get the fascination of Bonanza.
Yeah it is a good slot and i like the gameplay and it can be exciting.
But people keep playing it for these big wins that are not going to come. Okay there are shots here where people have won 4 grand on a £4 spin. But on other slots that would have been so much more.
DOA2 has totally wiped out Bonanzas best win several times in a couple of days . Jammin Jar's , Genie Jackpot's Megaways and a few others have provided well over what Bonanza has produced yet it has been out years.
Even yesterday i hit a 4680x stake win on Fruit Blox. Okay it was only a 10p stake as it was one free spin i had from WH that i was not even going to spin. But i won't complain about £468 for nothing lol. But how many wins of over 4000x have been posted here on Bonanza even on minimum bet.
Yet here we are 409 pages in and still people are saying how bad Bonanza is yet all are still playing it. It should be becoming clear by now if you want a once in a lifetime hit then this is not the slot to pick.
Neither do I. I also struggle to understand how an average feature triggering frequency of once every 450 spins became an acceptable/tolerated thing.
Not only is it not acceptable, but it's also nothing short of disgraceful.
And for all of the talk about it's supposedly generous base game, I can safely say the vast majority of my quickest ever bustouts have come while playing Bonanza.
Quicker than HTML5 Rhino on a bad day, quicker than Jammin' Jars on a bad day, quicker than even Napoleon on a bad day.
I have lost count of the number of times I've deposited £10, stuck it on 40p spins and busted within 30 spins. My record bustout is actually 26 spins.
That has NEVER happened to me on Rhino, Jammin' Jars or Napoleon, games that have supposedly more volatile and harsher base games.
Just for the record, Bonanza gave me my second biggest ever win in terms of cold, hard cash. And my fourth biggest in terms of x bet.
So it's not like I haven't had my good moments on it.
But I can say in all honesty, at the present time, I probably hate Bonanza more than any other slot.
Because I find it impossible to win on and almost impossible to enjoy playing.
If there was any "fascination" to be had from playing it, it would be to see if I could somehow fail to bustout within 10 minutes.
EDIT: Did I say 10 minutes? I actually meant 3 minutes.
