They most definitely have, being caught red handed with dick moves in the past doesn't instill positive thoughts and confidence with this group, sadly the trusted casino's are complicit as well, they can hide all they want behind RTP figures, the proof is in the play.

Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
Spent ages on this clown game in some futile attempt to prove it wrong. I think I'm heading into Lockinlove/ Nate/ Billy territory but still 
In what seemed like five hours, it follows some really predictable patterns. I know we like to repeat ourselves but hey ho it is called the Bonanza thread, so tough titties.
The game is blatant in its attempt to claw back whatever small winnings made from it. The aforementioned super screenie posted yesterday was further proof of that, and getting from £20 > £120 was immaterial as it was small recompense for previous losing sessions. What ensued was logic-defying nothingness which was nowhere near random I'm afraid.....it was scripted nonsense.
Still, like everyone else here I'm just looking for one decent hit, before walking away. It's got personal now

You should learn from my experience not to chase a hit. Everyone should have learned to be honest. I posted my stats constantly and through my million spin challenge too. These arent small sample sizes, my sample size is a pure indication of what this slot is. Its fraud and BTG should be removed from all casinos.

Says a lot when my DOA 9p bonus rounds are beating Bonanza's 40p-1quid rounds
Got 120 bonus from 40p but given it was 17, on times 8 after 3 spins, it's really no that impressive.

I had a short go on it this afternoon, it's lost the 'L' and the 'D' again, gone into hiding - I find it suspicious that they disappear from the reels constantly, in no way does that appear random.

I didn't pay much attention to the finer details of that thread, mainly due to not playing the game. It's hard to empathize when you've never sampled the goods.
Sorry dearie
well dearie, now you know not to miss one of my threads EVER.
Hope you get the 5000x on your journey, couldnt happen to a nicer senior citizen

The sooner you realize that the guys at BTG are simply a bunch of con-artists who know how to make slots, the better you will be off. Don't let them con you for the money in your wallet with promises of huge multipliers, 117 000 mega ways and payouts that don't exist.

It's the bonus rounds that bug me, I'd love poor base games and long spells till you trigger bonus for it to pay like it did when it came out.
95% OF BONUSES FIRST 2 MONTHS on release was min £20 and lots of £100+ at 20p stakes. but i swear i can count on one had since the amount over £20 and i need about 3 fingers to count the ones over 100. i have triggered hundreds of bonuses.
the other thing that bugs me is the game makes you build up a loss before triggering a bonus round. first 2/3 deposits go quickly by 4th or 5th you hit a bonus round. but when costs £50 to win £5 whats the point.

That's exactly why I call this slot an AWP. It's gotta take in and destroy your bankroll before anything happens. It does not behave randomly and like others have noted, it has the same behaviour irrespective when you play it.
Look at Dunovers post about the common things he noted in the feature and see if that rings a bell. Initially this slot was being PRAISED and voted as the best thing since sliced bread.
Now each day I watch as people start to crawl out the woodwork and complain. And there's more and more of them each week.
Makes you wonder hey?

Something has changed, whether thats down to BGT, or fact more players(or less?) play it now or fact when it launched 3/4 had it now almost every casino has it. Wonder why they all have the shit version now.......
and Dunovers post is exactly what i have noticed.
the 17,22 27 spin trigger is biggest insult.

It's all this thread deserves. You got to ask why one game only has such venom towards it? Enough players are noticing the same patterns with this game. One day truth will come out

The day someone drops 117,649 ways of 10's or aces in, hell will freeze over. Looking at the reels it seems theoretically possible if you note the stacks that appear at random intervals, uselessly on odd reels. Do that with the 4 same symbols on the top? Pfffttt......
I find the bonuses to be quite gracious thus far.....when they arrive.
Just the other day on my Bonanza Bust I had an auspicious start with a tidy £70 from minimum bet, with more notable wins even prior on other days.
Most disappointing aspect of the game is its tendency to stubbornly rake it back, so rarely can anyone ever play it for long periods. It's not a 'session' type of slot, the problem being that most of us like to play it at length, not just in bursts.
Nearly had the diamonds link up during a 10x multiplier once, in fact there were several of them, but the bloody first reel foiled greatness. I nearly wept I tell you, wept

Sadly bonanza produced the biggest hit of the night 50x free spins win in what was another nightmare of a night.
Can a slot be so bad, all of the time? It appears we've all mistook the game's initital variance- instead of high it should be classed as murderous.
With such volatile results can the game ever achieve its true RTP in a player's lifetime? Doesn't look that way does it

It seems as the weeks/months go on from it's release the bonus rounds are being stretched further and further apart,the only people gaining from this slot are the casino's and BTG - eventually it will fall off the radar for a lot of people and everyone will be wary of their games.
I do think this is their flagship game.....but also their downfall. Many are waking up from their trance-like state and aren't enjoying the ripoff show at work.
If BTG get too greedy it could well backfire on any of their future releases. Take away White Rabbit's only gimmick and already we have quite a poor follow-up

I know their was a six reel slot in the live casino's, It did not last long as player's got fed up with the high variance. Can't think of the name but it was a "Asian" themed one.

Don't we find though that this is typical of every game that you hit the ground running with its great for the the first few months and no matter what you do after you can never surpass those initial hits.I could name countless games that fall into this category.The casino obviously knows when they have got a game that's going to get everyones attention because it will have been tested to the hilt before launch.Now they just employ the "the sprat to catch the mackerel"tactic first week or two the game runs at 105% rtp next couple at 100% next month at 95% and so on until you arrive at where we are today everyone scratching their head as to what's gone wrong but by now it's to late the casino have enough players hooked to not have to change a thing.I know people will be saying but they can't do this and they can't do that.Come on when it comes to the guys who are working with the necessary equipment in this industry they are the best of the best there are ways around everything if you know the right man

I had exactly this earlier in the week, £50 deposit @£1 spins got bonus very early, 5 dead spins then numerous small cascade wins which increased the bonus nicely and then last but one spin, WHAM! 3 wilds on the top row and diamonds everywhere for a 1400x+ bonus! First and very likely last time. Screenshot is a page or 2 back. Shortest time I ever played on Bonanza, 6 minutes I think it was!

havent played it often lately but got my 2nd bonus in just 4 days !?! (around 400ish spins total). Previous one paid almost 10x. this one was better, 21x. At least i got almost 9x win from base game so my $30 on min bets lasted for about 15 mins. I know there are people who love it but i think im done with btg games for good :=P
i know its a bit off topic but all i see is people praising danger hv but that one is like 10x worse than bonanza for me, i think i ever got like 1 bonus in total. I havent played more than 1,5k...ish spins on it though but thats mostly because my rtp on it is around 12% i tried it both yesterday and today and on both days my highest win was 3,6x... it goes like 10 dead spins, 1 spin that pays 0.25x and then maybe 1x or so and back to 10 dead spins again.
Guess thats the problem with slots that pay 4000x from time to time, if mats arent done right it will have 4100 dead spins to compensate for that win and new providers are kinda moving towards 1 mega hit or ur done kind of slots which isnt that nice. I mean i love high variance slots but new releases are either super low variance slots, that still play like HV, or extremely high variance slots that pay either 2x or 1000x with nothing in between. Might as well spend my money on lottery tickets, at least i can win millions there and odds probably arent that far off lol. Compared to idk 3000x on bonanza or whatever.
Got $2 from WH 30 secs thing today, played poltava got it up to $20, moved to some random redtiger up to $48 on min bets and then bonanza and danger took it all away without paying 10x in a single spin. Im not that mad because it was free money and im a lowroller but it still makes you feel like $#")

There is much worse out there than Bonanza. Try any of the Novomatics and see your balance RIP in no time if they are in no mood to pay out.
Take Captain Venture as an example. No potential in the base game, almost impossible to bonus. At least if it does bonus you are in with a better chance hitting bigger than Bonanza.
What do you want? High variance with a bad base game or high variance with a good base game? I take the latter any time of the day.

Honestly - No there isn't. I understand that you have the odd good run on the slot. I mean you have the occasional hit here and there and are happy with it - No issues with that.
The slot is marketed and was introduced to us with this notion that HUGE wins are possible. Im still counting them on one hand. Actually, Im on one finger as I've seen ONE. I dont even know if BTG created that themselves.
No other slot has this type of variance and completely lacks big payouts. Remember when people were struggling to hit anything significant on Dragon Born - BTG popped up in all their deceitful glory and tried to deceive us here by posting fake screenies. Its water under the bridge now, but I certainly would NEVER rule out anything shady from this company. They are either brilliant mathematicians (read: cons) or completely lack knowledge of the industry and created this slot with a half wit math wannabe. Either way, something has to explain the brutal runs on this slot and its ability to act like an AWP all day, every day.
The base game is shit IMPO - I rarely have sustained a good enough run to even hit the feature most times. It wasn't even like the base game was giving me hits. The odd 10x here and 20x there doesn't count as a 'Good Base Game'.
I have seen big hits in the base game, but then again, its inevitable as the slot pulls the complete piss and removes the scatters from the gameplay. It compensates by dishing out base game hits on the very very rare occasion. What I've seen in the base game is merely a hit that is possible on Break Da Bank again - Had it a thousand times on there, but with BTG its a 1 in 250k occasion.
I understand that many of you play this slot and have the ODD good run with your 200x or 250x here and there. The reality is that BTG created a monster - This monster is not to appease its player base, but rather to fatten their pockets with empty promises and lottery style payouts. Even the lottery is hit more often - BTG is rubbish - a small company who introduced themselves by being SHADY on the biggest casino forum on the internet. Coupled with the fact they are attracted to streamers in a very unhealthy way and the fact that they create slots which never pay anything (if ever) remotely close to what they capable of, they stay in my book as recipients for the 'Dirtiest Slots Online'.

It depends what you want from a slot session. At the end of the day you should not play for profit and I rather be entertained losing the dosh rather than watching the money drain away losiing spin after losing spin.
I have ended many a Bonanza session up higher than that I started. There of course have been many a losing session too but so can DOA which too is more than capable letting you wait hundreds of spins for the bonus to then pay crap

Its not even about playing for profit on BTG - Yes a singular session can see a 100x or 200x profit if you are lucky enough to trigger the feature and secondly, get a hit worthy in the free spins.
MY RTP is so bad on Bonanza, I will never recover. We saw this on the test runs - 350 000x spins and no hit even bigger than 1000x. There were even spells of a straight 5000x loss and a 13000x loss overall BEFORE the 1st hit of 1000x cropped up.
Many players here are in the same boat - horrific returns and if the slot is so difficult to even get 1000x on, I see RTP continuing to spiral DOWN. Unless there is a MEGA hit, all of us might never see the true RTP or even come near it. Maybe the odd player will get a mythical hit of 5000x or more but i assure you that the vast majority will never come within acceptable RTP ranges. This is simply because BTG designed the slot to pay as little as possible on the top end - thus guaranteeing the downward spiral many of us see now.
Edited to add: Sorry man, DOA cannot be classed in the same league as Big Time Ripoff - Its proved itself 1 million times over and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence

You were not getting the gist of my post.
How boring is DOA. Until you hit the bonus the game is boring and so predictable. Anybody that plays the game long enough knows all of the win combinations and how much they pay by heart.
Compare that to Bonanza where each win spin is different and you never know how much it is going to pay until the cascade has ended.

Indeed DOA is boring - You are 100% correct. I suppose that's what made me play Gol-Nanza. Quite enjoyed it while it lasted, but it became even more predicable than DOA - I already knew what each feature and most cascades would pay >>> not much.
Nate
Each to their own. Whether I play DOA or Bonanza I know I am going to lose the deposit most of the times. I rather be entertained than fall asleep.
I long ago gave up playing slots in an attempt to profit from it.

thats awful for that many spins, but given how bad it usually is you should be happy at same time.
never seen so many +5 before, what is the most you can get?
Sorry 33* multiplier
Last 4 dead spins ,have hit nearly 8000* on DOA and thought this would be a monster but it is poor for a hit like that
That's the worst in this game. You get to a high multiplier only to have the last few go stone cold. Hell, even 3 or 4OAK pay quite well at that stage. Uncanny....
Highest multiplier I've attained is lower 20s I believe
