New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[snorky510238]

Cough splutter I was a tad restless yesterday and threw a solitary tenner to the four winds. Before you could utter 'jammy' I was up to something like £130!

Couldn't believe the descent of doom that followed though. Plummeted right back down to £13 or so at one stage before a couple of well overdue bonuses crept me up to the mid-50s.

And then before you could say 'let it end' I hit a majestic bonus that involved some wilds and diamonds and shit. Withdrew £350 straight away with some £70 or so left.

I would have captured the screenshot but it was at that point I came in my pants, so to speak.

God bless this game

Nice 1.You will need to stay clear of it now for at least 3 years to reduce the chance of a quick revenge.Joking aside I personally think these games are set daily or through so many spins or whatever because you get a day like that once in a blue moon and on those days you hit instantly like you did first tenner not after 5 or 6 deposits of £10.I think they can set games as high or low as they wish as long as the rtp comes into line at certain points by this I mean they can set it to pay for arguments sake at 60% for a week and then when they have kitty(of funds to pay out)they set it to 120% until it balances.This is the only way you could experience the peaks and troughs that occur.If you were on a level playing field every day surely games would play a lot more consistently than they do.

It is a high variance slot.

There are probably millions of people playing it. Someone wins 1000x stake then roughly a 1000 others have to lose the stake.

Because there are a couple of dozen people posting how bad they are doing on the slot does not mean others are not having good sessions.

I rarely play the slot. Tried it at Ladbrokes during the week and after a few sessions i was up about £100 on it on mimimum bets. Similar to most sessions i have tried it.

Do not get why people keep chasing it. Okay it is capable of hitting 10000x stake. Very rare. IR would give you nearly that on a 5 reel WD. Doesnt happen tho and noone chases that.

Personally i find Bonanza plays a bit like CFTBL . Not the way the game looks etc but the way it pays. Bonuses are mostly crap with the odd good or Mega one thrown in. But base game is capable of giving hits just as good as the bonuses.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Good days on Bonanza at the moment, don't want to shout to loud though.

360 ways 9's. Total 294x bet

 

[deepsky2]

I thought I was in for a mega win , well was hoping like every time I get the free spins. I only got the G on last reel and only 5 spots open and OLD5 drops in.
It paid 250x

That is unusual.I have had the l and d in 3 slots but don't think that is to uncommon but I would say yours is pretty unique.

 

[BrianGhattas]

This game and Top Cat are still balance-eaters. Queen of Riches and White Rabbit have actually been paying big this weekend.

 

[nikantw]

I am watching the interview and I think BTG said the chance for full ways in the bonus is 1/400,000. 400,000 bonus rounds so the chance for any given spin to produce a bonus with 117,000 ways is 1/180,000,000.....
So there is a chance

He also mentions that you need a lot of free spins and retriggers for it to “formulate” (Nik’s words). Simulating play in free mode has given me a 32 spin trigger twice over the course of roughly 5.000 bonus features, and the highest win still sitting at 4401X.

I still believe it’s possible, just not very probable .

EDIT: It could of course have happened already, as I only replay the features that look worthy (>2500X). But I guess we can all agree that we expect a real monster once it happens.

 

[aleksi123]

It’s certainly possible, just not very probable. It happens once you reach 50x multiplier. Also keep in mind that BTG prepared a special reel set for these spins. Every reel is 177 symbols of 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, in that order. Your best possible win is if you happen to get two wilds on the top row for a whooping 7x 3OAK 9

Had to make my 1st post because of this. So did you get the max reels in your simulation or not?

 

[lockinlove]

5000 bonus features and highest win is only 4401x. Good god. Cant believe I used to bang away on this.

 

[aleksi123]

...

 

[torors]

I would love to see the results of those simulations

They are about 2GB of string payloads from NextGen GDM. I do string queries on about > 100k spins a time to keep it fast. If you want the raw data, toss me a pm.

Also, go a few pages back for some graphs of 100k spin simulations.

Hi, I'm Aleksi and I'm a big donkey.

 

[torors]

Ok nice. Can you also tell me how you speak with such a confidence and in such detail about something that you have never encountered?

If you are referring to the joke you quoted, it was just that.

I am however looking into making the client render the full reel sets so it’s easier to visualize the biggest possible initial hit (taking cascades into account complicates things to a whole other level).

LOL. You got me good with the joke. I've been reading this thread for a good while now and remembered your post - I seriously bought it. What makes it funnier is that you were right about the multiplier having to be extremely high before full lines drop, just as Nik said in Kim's stream.

Carry on good sir.

Now that I hear it again, it could be he said 1/500,000.
"Lot of free spins and retriggers", so he made it to triger after a huge multiplier only. Doesn't mean you can't have 1.000,000x win with less ways, it only takes 31x 2x3x3x3x3x4 diamonds.

About that, the reel set in free spins, I want to ask you something. Do you know if we can "trust" the initial drop of a reel to happen again?
What I mean is this: If I see 3 diamonds on reel 4, and later I see 4 diamonds on reel 5 on another spin, does this mean that it is possible to have a spin with 3 diamonds on reel 4 and 4 diamonds on reel 5?

I haven’t researched this in great detail, but it’s quite evident that the selected reel set follows the current megaway counter. It’s quite interesting and worth looking into.

So to answer your question: Yes. As long as both spins were within the same megaway breakpoint, you could see those diamonds connecting a hit.

The free spins have a different set of three reel sets than the base game, but I guess the mechanics are the same.

 

[interlog]

W T F - so many cascades and would it drop in.... like fuck!!!

 

[gilliebean]

Deposited £30 at Slotsmillion last night - withdrew £800! Never spun £1 spins before, but I tried a few and was lucky - although I was on over 20x multiplier on the last bonus and had 6 dead spins..

Now if they'd only process the withdrawal I'd be a happy bunny...

 

[gilliebean]

This was where my luck ended - the rest of the spins were either very low paying or dead spins... x19 with 8 spins left Gutted really, but hey ho...

What a disappointment on an Tuesday morning. Started with GOLD + 5 and got two re-triggers for 27 FS.

Yeah when you hit the retriggers you expect better than that especially when it rarely gives that amount of spins.I always play it on 40p but had no luck lately and didn't fancy depositing this morning so I thought I will just get rid of £6 in one account.Played 20p and first few spins drops in the basic 12 bonus pays x600 Sod's law.Increased to 40p hit it again paid x20 luckily kept going and got a x125 so can't moan it recoups the last few weeks losses.

Woohoo finally got some chance to try out that famous Bonanza and in the beginning I was like - Okay, I'm joining the people who call it Borenanza, and I don't understand this game - so many explosions to get like 0.30 eur in return. But it started being entertaining somehow and I let it spin and spin on the autoplay - my balance was at €30-40 all the time, with small ups and downs.

Hit some Gold free spins and while I was preparing coffee, saw this big win (attached). So I don't know actually how it happened lol. Important thing - I played on the minimum bet of €0.20. This is the total win out of the free spins game, but there was a single spin (I think with 10x multiplier) of €200.
This is also my first time to try out VideoSlots casino, as you talk about it so much

Yaaaaay

 

[lockinlove]

First time plays bonanza gets 1000x some members gonna be real jelly they been playing for over a year to try and get that LUL

That's pretty ropey I must say. I would not be amused after 27 spins.

Funny how the 3 OAKs just disappear sometimes. I'd expect to be in the 20s with the multiplier given that just one win sequence can raise it by four or five

 

[snorky510238]

I find it so frustrating when you hit a massive amount of spins but don't get a massive reward.A few days ago I had 117 spins on Montezuma and 102 of them were retriggered on the win x10 (including 1 last spin that retriggered another 25).It paid x700 which I know isn't bad but I probably had around 70 dead spins.I find its almost like it has to be predetermined how much the bonus will pay because the times it just kills your last spins if you hit the amount early can't be coincidence.I only got about £30 off the last 50 spins.Still it's better than losing.

[nutnut]

I'VE given up on this again. It can't be won AT ALL.

last 34 bonuses all under £8, not one withdrawal from any of it.

same shit happens daily

1) trigger bonuses pays nothing goes to zero
2) get big win(between £15 to £40) after 50 spins play for 2hrs no bonus rounds and goes to zero

number 2 is most frustrating and most obvious bug/pattern in the game

 

[dbl88]

For you guys who doesnt check the winner videos thread just hit a pretty sick bonus. It was entertaining the entire time and highest multiplier I got by far

Ive had x39, where i had x24 built up in only one spin.

 

[dnight]

yesterday i've had two nice wins on it. got my first ever 4 scatter retrigger. Guess what it paid for 22 freespins? Not that much. 356x but luckily it was on a 1 euro bet. Later on I had another 200x hit in freespins on another site.

Slotty Vegas yesterday. 2 quid spin. 12 dead spins. The rage o meter was such never took screenshot

I took the screenshot for you ( a few months ago).

Must have looked like this (the coin win was from the triggering spin)

Thanks Harry - they say you have to relive the trauma before you move on!

You start by thinking : on this could be the one... after each spin you’re like no, it’s not giving zero... no it’s not... until the end when it’s YOU DID WHAT!!!

Imagine buying the feature in Extra Chilli (Bonanza 2) with 100x only to pay 0x . Only thing that hurts more is "buying" the feature with 100x in a LV game (like Bikini Party) to get 0x.
To be fair, we don't know how it will be. He said it will be different. And the bonus easier to get.

 

[Big Time Gaming]

As I'm in the forum right now I can answer that nikantw:

The game has just three scatters and triggers more often, the FeatureDrop™ is not x100 to purchase.

More info and an official launch date up soon...

We will see bearing in mind if he said it will be on par or harder nobody would go near it.Hope it's not a disappointment like most sequels that come(in my mind to quickly)off the back of a blockbuster hit.

And what do u have to say about this slot of yours that can take up to 10.000 spins to see a bonus paying 10x?Or let's say 10 in a row bonuses that pay more or less the above amount(but have to play 1000s of spins to trigger them)

 

[pinnit2014]

Bonus frenzy in high roller. 5 in 300 spins. Ended up 500 up as only one was decent. But ruing what could have been - second fiver spin and in rolls gold. 98 quid. But hey, least it wasn’t a Zero X like yesterday

In terms of B2 - if the bonus is easier to get, them whys there going to be a buy feature? People plough money in it cos they don’t get it in 500 spins so think oh another 100 deposit. If it’s got a buy feature I’ll likely buy, go that’s shit, and probably spend half of what I would of done as the allure of the fools golds not there

 

[snorky510238]

I am not a fan of the buy in feature.I personally don't think they should even be allowed because I feel morally and ethically they are not within the spirit of gambling......... I mean given the fact that unless you hit a big jackpot you are going to lose in the long term we know and accept that but the peaks and troughs keep us going.We deposit and we get(if we are lucky)some enjoyment and some game time....... So let's say you deposit £25 and play 20p a spin.When my lucks in I can get endless hours out of that even weeks occasionally.However I feel that putting all your eggs in 1 basket and buying into the feature is a recipe for disaster because it will just accelerate your losses.Okay you will win now and again just like playing the game normally but I feel it has the tilt factor built in and will get people chasing the "elusive" BIGGY..Take the amount of times it's possible to get 10 rubbish to mediocre features in a row.Why would you think buying into them will make them any better.Its just a masked way greedy companies have come up with to get your money off you quicker than usual.

 

[greylady]

'10 rubbish to mediocre features in a row' - try about in excess of about 75 for me in the last 2.5 months

I have stuck to my guns, made no deposits and still in the frame of mind 'I am done with slots' and not even tempted to play so I suppose Bonanza did me a favour

Its not like they are lowering the TRTP and hiding it or anything.
Let's say you are BTG CEO and hear all those "I want a bonus, where is the bonus.....", what do you do? Only 3 options:
1. Take RTP from base game.
2. Decrease average pay of feature.
3. Buy feature.

It is just another option, if you think it is a good time, if you think it will pay, you can use it. Or not, up to you. It will cost but not more than fast-spining Play-n-Go with 84% RTP at the same time.

Exactly it won't pay out any more either so it just speeds up the process of how quickly your money ends up in the casinos pocket.They would prefer everyone to buy feature only.

No, lowering the TRTP does that (lose more money on the same time). Also If you don't withdraw all wins over 50x.
The feature takes time and most times will pay close to average. When you lose money faster it is always because of low RTP and because you don't cashout your wins.

If you deposit £25 and play 20p spins it will last longer than buying a feature at £25 that's obvious.

Not so simple. You have the 12-17 or more spins in the feature, the intro and the finish, that takes time. And we are talking about lose here, feature spins pay more, also bigger potential, but you can get the feature with the regular spins so it is basicaly the same. The golden rule is always one, don't overdo it and cashout your win.

Yes that's my issue there are a lot of people out there that will buy a feature get a bad 1 and think the next 1 will be better but if it isn't they can easily get drawn in to chasing the"BIGGY"and as far as customer care and responsible gambling go I think it's morally wrong.

If there is no difference (you don't lose money faster) between buying the feature and not buying it, then there is no difference on morality or RG.
I proved you don't lose money faster. Now if you want to say it is easier to lose control, I also disagree.
It is easier to get disappointed, find it boring and stop playing, that is what happened with me and White Rabbit.
