The game isn’t fit for purpose. I have just ripped through another £300 in record time. No decent win and no fucking bonus AGAIN.

You’re just completely taking the piss now……Well, more than usual. It’s riddled with predatory programming, deliberately tilting players. It’s an utter disgrace.
 
For somebody who was only going to play the game now and again because you know it’s bent you seem to be rowing it rather a lot!!

On a smaller scale but equally as bad in the returns scenario, I’m at £300 on hills for just one bonus on 20p over the last week or so.

The amount of times it goes 100-300x just for a cascade tease is baffling imo. When u add to the fact I’ve not had a single straight in feature in all that time also it is somewhat concerning.

I would normally raise the stake as it becomes more ‘due’ in terms of number of spins without one but im glad I haven’t. Or even going up to 60-80p would have resulted in a major disaster. Not just on this recent hills session but in general over the last month or so.

And as u say inevitably when it finally does arrive the odds of hitting anything over 50x are pretty slim.

I just don’t understand how the likes of Dazza doesn’t go 6 or 7 vids in a row (125 X stake deposit each vid) without hitting a bonus. As it’s happening to me in terms of the multiplication of stake every week. Sometimes every couple of days.

I can only remember the odd occasion where he’s done 3 or maybe even 4.

Just this latest session for me would be more than 10 vids on the trot for just one feature!! When has that ever happened??? I’m not suggesting anything untoward when I compare these stats but his are the only ones I can compare them to as he shows every spin of each deposit.

And yes I know he said he was 10 bag in the hole on sky vegas, but that was all recovered and more over his 3 series, to the point where over a year he’s now defeating the maths and in
Profit. If I’d have been punting on £2 a spin over the last 12 months I’d have been catastrophically down to very deep into 5 figures. Very deep.
 
the last straw for me was the lack of gols just like completely disappeared it was so strange add to that the amount of depo i went on bentvictor and bet365 without a bonus, oh add to that lottomart william hill just vile and the rage i felt wasn’t normal, i find it funny how the game went to filth the minute the buy out happened with evolution. i also think since they’ve made a bonus buy for it they’ve made it even harder to land naturally add to that the fact it was already extremely hard to land but now it’s 5 times harder to land. no thanks. this weekend has been nice not doing my brains in on this garbage

Not sure where you get @dunover ‘s stats from but he categorically stated on one of these threads recently that he is well down on Bonanza overall/lifetime.

I am. Tens of K. I got most of last year's losses back this year, but that doesn't cover anywhere near the long-term amount.

I could turn this constant niggling around - a guy has just joined the forum and says he's had 2x 8-scatter triggers. I have NEVER seen one in 5 years. There has been a few 1000x plus screenies of late - I haven't seen once in 11 months now despite playing on average every 3 days. I haven't even seen 500x for eons. Most of my decent play recently has been down to base game hits and not features, which I get a reasonable amount of but rarely anything over 100x. My last session bust me out with nothing at all in 20 minutes.

Well of course he is down over the last 5 years. He’s playing a game at 96%. I’m just saying that the last year as his vids have documented he’s in profit from the game spinning at £2 a pop.

Depositing nearly every day.

I wasn’t suggesting he is or was posting fake bollox or not using real money or playing in demo and presenting the game as something it’s not to gain sign ups. Nothing like that at all.

Not a dig at him or anything in the slightest.

I’m just saying or trying to respectfully, that to play the game for a year or probably a bit more than that and actually not lose is against the maths.

Seems so far removed from the dead sessions I am getting and clearly all the ‘rigged’ brigade are.

What are u down in the last year Snorks? What would that replicate to on £2 stake.

You can run well but fuck me that is some serious spawn on a game that rarely delivers a 500x let alone stupid DOA2 hits to bank roll another 2 years.
 
Seriously guys :) has this game changed that much ? just scroll back 500 pages and its still the same complains,
the only change i have seen in the last year or so is ive had 3 wins over 1000x in bonus round one of them 2500x
didnt have any 1000x first 4 years i played it
its one of my fav game and i do play it more or less few spins every sessions, sometimes its crap other time im ahead but thats just like
any other game i play.
just baffles me to see same members over and over again for years slagging the game off but still play it
there are 100´s of games i dont like and i just dont play them simple as that :)
 
I ran well for a year or more but still had shite patches in between and truth be known, that was probably only compensating me for my losses in the first 2 years.

As you say Fruitpro, it doesn’t even seem possible to run well nowadays. Even on the odd occasion that I win enough to withdraw, it doesn’t feel like a good session, like the game is running well. No, it’s just one big hit out of the blue and if you don’t take it, your arms will be torn from your body, post haste.

The reason, I know the game has changed beyond recognition is because I played it everyday and kept track of bonuses and frequency, etc. It was very rare for me to go a week without at least a couple of sessions, during which, I didn’t hit at least 5 bonuses at the same Casino.

Now I haven’t had a session in god knows how long, where I have hit 5 bonuses at the same Casino. The bonuses seem to have about 15 hundred spins between them and consistently pay x50 or less.

The game has become a complete scam.

P.S. Don’t know exactly but I have probably lost around 10k in the last year so yeah, if all the spins had been at £2, probably 20k.

P.P.S. Just to be clear, I didn’t lose it, I was robbed.
 
This game sounds in a woeful state presently. And yet no single player will ever be able to prove or debunk the game's shonkiness as the developers are just as likely to throw the "you need two million spins to get a good overview" card out there.

Fact is, even though the game looks like turd and isn't the first port of call for new slottees, in time, for every punter that rage- quits this game there'll be another to take their place. It just doesn't strike me as a game to be played indefinitely, and so the userbase gets recycled and spat out.....there comes a point when one sees all the game has to offer (clue: it isn't 14,000x)
 
It goes from bad to worse and yesterday was just next level. I am not going into detail, just the bare facts and they take some believing but I assure you they aren’t made up.

Within 26 hours, I deposited a total of £800 spread over 9 different Casinos. At a rough estimate 90% of it was played through Bonanza at mainly 60p spins and a few between 60p and £2.

I had 2 base hits of x60 on my last 2 deposits respectively, Other than that, I hit nothing of significance and they were the only 2 deposits that went north albeit £40ish. All the others were lost pretty rapidly and were mainly in £20 increments.

Even though the game was absolutely despicable, I have probably still wagered £2,000 through it (conservative estimate) and wait for it. Not 1, not 1 •<<!ing bonus.

For me, this is next level filth, I cannot believe for a second that this passage of play is random bad luck. Nothing remotely close to this happened in 4 years of playing Bonanza yet now it happens every other day and people who put a handful of spins through it, reckon it hasn’t changed, yeah right.

I will now invite @BTG Rep to post my stats for that 24 hours starting 11pm on Saturday night to 1am Monday morning. Total deposits at each Casino, stakes wagered, total game time and whether they think the game has played fairly. Failing that, as it will probably be too much effort for them, at least leave a comment. You have my full permission to post all the details.

The Casinos played were:-

Videoslots
Unibet
Party Casino
Sun Vegas
Sky Vegas
Grosvenor
32 Red
Ladbrokes

the cheats would never. they hide and don’t answer questions they make me sick
 
Yep. My 13 consecutive deposits at Jackpot Joy without a feature or w/d were against the maths. 100 spins a time balance. My 6-week winning run at Casumo I had, making nearly 15k euros was against the maths. Getting 5 consecutive features at Betfred of over 100x, including a 700x and 1500-odd x were something I have never got close to since. Going over 2300 spins without a feature was too. Once going 73 L's before getting a 17x feature on the 74th. was another I remember. The bulk of my recovery in the last 10 months or so has been based on doubling a deposit then raising stakes and managing to hit something significant on that occasionally, then reverting back to a lower stake next time. One thing all of us have in common is that we are well down on it as one would expect. The ups and downs of that process are unique for each player so it's like comparing chalk and cheese.

Playing a demo would be pointless as it's exactly the same RTP and game as the real thing and the BTG demo I have access to (one for 90x stake bonus-buys in euros) plays just as bad, if not worse than the normal game. The other BTG £ demos would be impossible to pass off as real as they randomly restore your balance to 1000 when you lose for a while, ask Nik. You could I suppose join a casino and play a 'normal' demo in your currency which doesn't do that, but what would be the point? Of course, there is another possibility that me or any other vlogger could only upload only the winning sessions and falsely claim we are ahead, hiding our overall losses which is why I show every spin, win or bust. Nobody can fake features or big wins dropping in even on BTG demos - they don't have that facility. Some developers DO have that menu, if you remember my spoof iSoftBet Megaways video where I 'won' 600-odd million euros from a 10,000 start - believe it or not many comments took it seriously!

Personally I don't play the game 'every day' or even nearly every day - the last time was a week ago right now.
What I am finding odd right now is the fact when I do win it's several small-medium events close enough together to make a profit, whereas in the past it was mainly single Hollywood hits on the feature round which nowadays unlike some of the posters in thread, I cannot seem to land.

As I've said before the game is capable of billions of different outcomes so no two players will have even a nearly-similar experience over time - aside from the fact they'll lose.
 
Agree with the lack of Hollywood wins for a decent withdrawal - previously it about getting the multi up semi decently and then getting the stacked K's, A's on a x8 etc. Most recent play has been stringing a couple of 250x's (haha) close together for it, as opposed to the single hits of 500x plus. Still turfs out the odd 500x plus but they do feel increasingly rare.

The biggest selling point previously has been, because the base game was semi-decent, you could play with higher stakes, say compared to other games. Once you're on, certainly me, 4 quid if in an OK mood, a 200-300x would be deemed reasonable :p

My own personal stats are, whilst i've had 1000x here and there, the runs of sub 50x bonus's, sometimes 15 30x's consecutively, are more apparent now than in the past: did it give a run of 30x? Well yeah, but where that run was 7, it now feels it runs into double digits.
 
Bonanza removed from sky for maintenance 🤔
Impossible to make it worse surely…..Then again.

My last week of playing this slot has been like nothing I have ever witnessed. I ended up depositing around £1,160 before I hit a bonus. It paid x200 and then hit another that paid x23. Over 500 spins later and I hit 2 more at, x58 and x8. Absolute shit show.
 
time to get off the horse snorky, i had to ask
myself was chasing this slot for 1/4 of my overall losses back if i was lucky worth it, the resounding answer was no. it will be a cold day in hell before btg get one more pence of my hard earned cash, my wife has also gamstopped, i will be bowing out of the forum soon as i am a none gambler now

I really hope that there's no possibility of a lower RTP version like NYX have of Extra Chilli............:eek:
