New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Well never though I'd see the day, over 4,000 spins without a bonus, done 2,500 a few times and once did 3,300 but that was over several sessions and deposits.
Yesterday, 4,000 spins in a single session no bonus, and no wins over 50x, several nil paying max megaways, and way to many GOL, but no D.

Normally I'm pretty cool about it cos know once the seal is broken it'll throw in a few close together, but this time it comes on the back of another long dry spell, when does this game give back.

It's now easier to say how many Hours since the last bonus, instead of thinking about spins and x stake lost. And I'm now at 7 hours, how is this entertainment?

Moses wandered through the desert quicker than the D drops in.
 
Balance saver on last spin.

X spins before it, on a quid, went in on 11 quid....came out on 12 quid; first 11 spins dead

Bonus's are in NLC's language, over the last few weeks: Extreme Shitness

You’ve got another 4 and a half hours to go to beat my record I’m afraid. And that was on the Uber fast old sky version.

I’ve been running like Pinnit and Dazza combined the last week or so, so I’ve no complaints.
 
I know you see the odd decent screenshot but let’s be honest, on average it’s probably one every fortnight.

The bonus rounds 95% of the time are an absolute gimped bag of shite. Disgraceful that this is allowed and that BTG have treated customers in this way.

The other thing is, you NEVER get a great session with lots of bonus rounds. I would get one or two a week, if not more. Now they just aren’t available. Anyone who says this game hasn’t changed beyond recognition must be severely lacking in observational skills.

yes to all of your points. it’s a disgrace. and when somebody does get a ok bonus guarantee it’s just the one of compensation it will give as the slots compensated to the hilt the difference now is it just seems to rinse you for weeks and weeks then throw out a quarter of your loses in compensation and then back to robbery. i know i say the same things all the time but it’s disgusting how they get away with it, corrupt and untrustworthy and if there where so called testers then how have they allowed this game to be changed in this manner? the rtp is lower clearly in every way not just gimped bonuses but the streaks of 10-15 dead spins in base game vomit inducing.
 
I have even posted shots of my rtp from videoslots, showing how my rtp has taken a complete nosedive of 10% since that update, last April.

It’s not just Bonanza, there are other slots that don’t play like they used too but the BTG range standout as the worst affected. It feels like there is something very sinister going on in the background.

The other thing is, that sessions have pretty much always felt like a winning or losing one, right from the first few spins but now it’s an absolute certainty.

Deposits/Balances are disappearing at record speed.

i know this is the bonanza thread but a few other games which have changed is chilli heat megaways and great rhino megaways and that was when they took them down to take the sounds out they completely changed i haven’t bonused either since even with the extra bonus thing you can do on prags. my question is how do they get away with it has money changed hands is it corruption is it the operators in cahoots with the casinos i just don’t know but it reeks to high heaven, and i hate being robbed i’ve started to just do sports bets a lot more now as i fancy my chances more with research and bets than these shady operators and providers. i wish the day would come that it was all exposed but we all know it won’t happen to much moolah at stake.

Made numerous posts with this point over past month's, years even!

I say it out loud at home also "It is like the casinos are hanging on for dear life" the speed they need to consume our deposits, where in reality we all know it is quite the opposite.

Also stated / posted several times that I do not mind losing, just take my cash s-l-o-w-l-y and give me some entertainment at least.

Nope, greed, greed, more greed, no bonuses, reduced RTP and now they even speed the slots up to munch faster, these are just the things we KNOW ABOUT. I guarantee there is a lot more going on that we DON'T Know about.

Geez you've got me started now lol :p - I'd REALLY love to expose the truth of our being ripped off. I'd stopped all this rigged stuff but now done another U-Turn as it is happening and I don't believe a word anymore of what the so called "inside knowledge" guys tell us, no offence to anyone but I'm also convinced a "gagging order" of some description is in place to stop them spilling the beans once and for all.

Way too big an industry for some sort of corruption to be going on, Wonder if AC-12 are busy!

One difference that I have noticed over the past few months is the amount of times GOL will fall in with no cascade for the D. I have seen it happen much more frequently than it ever did before, there's times I will get it on 4 consecutive spins, each time no win therefore no cascade and no chance of the bonus. If I do a £50 deposit its virtually guaranteed to happen 30+ times, and most of the times the L is on the last reel so there is never a chance of a bonus.
This may be my imagination, but for me it never seemed to happen like this before.

Just like horse racing. There have been numerous incidents in the past where someone has spoken out, even had trainers on hidden camera explaining how it all works, with regards to cheating with horses.

Jockeys murmuring about exposing the truths but then they suddenly never say another word. This is something that goes on in full view of the public and apart from the odd fine under the none trier’s rule, not much else happens. Can’t tell me “hush money” isn’t involved.

Much too easy for the online gaming industry to mug us off and never have to answer for anything.
 
Serious question, why are any of you still playing this? You all seem to be in agreement that the game has been gimped somehow, isn't paying properly, is munching through deposits faster than ever and has generally been mucked about with (despite the RTP not having changed) - to the extent that you've all concluded it's not playing a fair game.

This thread is 760 pages long, I occasionally check in on it as I had the odd tussle with Bonanza myself back in the day (there are some posts from me earlier in this thread where IIRC it wanted 2500+ spins for a bonus round), and for months and months now all the chat in this thread has essentially been around how the game is near enough 'cheating' the players - so why is it still getting any money off you?

I mean, I quit playing everywhere except 3Dice once Unibet/Maria gimped their RTPs, I was just like, 'Nope, not doing this, there are other things I can spend my money on', and that was just over a reduction in RTP. If I thought for one second that games were doing even a fraction of what Bonanza has been accused of over the last few months, they'd never get another penny of my money!
 
Hard to pinpoint exactly, but I think people want a sense of familiarity since Brexit

Hmmmm, a total con-job that didn't even remotely deliver what was promised - the parallels between Bonanza and Brexit are definitely there :)

It gets a lot less from myself in terms of deposits, just in the hope that it throws a decent win, to balance up my shocking rtp over the past 10 months.

Have to admit, I am on the verge of quitting the game and probably online gambling full stop. Something stinks of late.

The only site I play at that seems to play fairly is UNIBET.

Some of the others such as Bet Victor, 32 Red, Ladbrokes, Sky, Leo Vegas and now Videoslots are an absolute disgrace. Not just hosting shaved rtp but somehow skimming even more off of the top.

I can state this by the amount of withdrawals I used to make, compared to the past 10 months. Actually there is no comparison, it’s like chalk and chees.

Bad luck? Don’t insult my intelligence, there’s a clear and obvious pattern that’s impossible to ignore.
 
dazza why don’t you tell any one what site you play on? i am confused cos it seems to play like the old bonanza for you and you alone

Foil hats to one side, I too have sat and thought exactly the same when watching his videos.

I do have a theory that "back in the day" I'd light up a smoke before starting my bonuses and occasionally did ok, now we don't smoke in the house, maybe my version of B is suffering withdrawal, hence the shitty game play time after time.
 
How much is he up on it, lifetime?
Ur not suppose to win.

Dazzas vids over the last year or so completely disprove ur ‘the game is rigged and now more bent since April’ theories.

He’s smashed it over 100’s of deposits.

Just like you were previously. Of course u think
It’s shit now because you aren’t running like you use to. Most of us were saying about how lucky u were getting at the time.

Of course back then I was doing shit and couldn’t get a break because I was playing it wrong and on the wrong sites. I mean seriously what nonsense.

As we’ve all played god knows how many spins between us I’m sure long term we are all about where we should be.

Having said all of that relax versions are bent!!!!!

Seriously tho if you think it’s bent then don’t play it. Simples.

I’ve actually been running well recently so I’ve no complaints. But I’ve had horrific spells lasting months while you were having it off. Luck of the draw I’m afraid.

How many x1,000 have you had?

Gotta admit that running like the wind for 2 years and then the complete opposite for 10 months doesn’t seem very random though, surely?

I’ve had 2 more in the last few months. But then I’d only ever had 4 in a lifetime. Had my biggest ever X win on it the other day - about £900 odd on 60p

Of course in between I’ve had plenty of shitters but I had by far my best series of decent bonuses in the last few months in particular.

Playing mainly at hills sky and the GVC sites.

Not a fan of non ‘British’ sites because of the nonsense you can get from them.

It’ll turn for me again as I’m sure it will again for you mate. I’ve started playing a few other games just recently tbf because I know I’ll be pushing my luck on bonanza if I play it as much as before. Major brains are due I’m sure.

Yes yes yes, and this is on "Max RTP" slots (won't touch reduced RTP games).

I hate sore losers, sour grapes, and conspiracy theories, but FACT a £100 deposit on low rolling 40p spins, can easily be cremated in an hour these days. Happens to me all the time. Not talking about crazy high volatility slots, but ones with perhaps 1000-2000x potential on a very good day. You should get hours of entertainment from £100 depo on 20p-40p - I used to - what happened?

Raging Rhino for example of an existing, nerfed game - same RTP but the returns and results went to utter dogshit when it was converted.

And my recent experience on Gigantoons that I posted elsewhere on here, 1000x vaporised in no time at all on 96.2% RTP.

I'm depositing and playing a fraction of what I used to. Used to play £2 spins with £400 deposits and last for hours, cash out loads. Now I play 40p spins with £100 depos and just get kicked in short order.
 
Demo mode at a guess.

Dunno how this quoted me, as it was Kenner who asked originally lol.....

Don't think it is demo mate as he's show the banking transactions in the odd video and discussed restricting/ limiting deposits due to an imposed loss limit of the account he plays on.

Fair enough.. I wish he would play something else though. The slots compilation videos "back in the day" were much more entertaining.

Yes the same predictable pattern happens over and over, it’s just bollox. For months on end I make deposit after deposit and nothing happens at all. No balance up and down, just down with no bonus, no big win just sweet FA. Can easily go £300 at 40-60p in a day. Stuff me, I used to make a £40 deposit last hours.

Then you get a hit that gives you about 80% of your losses back, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, every forking time. It’s just infuriating bollox. You can only bang your head on the wall for so long so stuff it. I am just going play the 9 liners at 18p. I won’t lose much because they bore me to tears having to manually spin them. £20 a day tops and still have a chance of hitting something way bigger than all these other heaps of shite produce.

Here’s one I made earlier.

Defo, his battles with Twin Spin, Wild Rockets, Creature and best of all The Rapist AKA Raging Rhino

Have nothing against the bloke but as you say his earlier videos were much, much better, pre affiliate days with the lower bets and buzzes over "smaller" wins (in comparison to today's £2- £ 20 bets (appreciate the higher are only when you're well in front Dazza))

Rather have the banter and friendly 'put downs' like the good old days rather than all the math skills demonstrations please :p
