New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Big Time Gaming is reviewed by Casinomeister - read our review and comment here in this forum thread.
I had a break too and had a couple of decent wins on other slots so gave Bonanza a go.

I can only say, why did I bother? The game has been gimped beyond belief, it’s an absolute filthy, disgusting disgrace and that’s as polite as I can be.

Nobody and I mean nobody could look at my gameplay for the past year and be convinced of anything other than the game has been reprogrammed to just rob people blind. Just out of interest, I checked my rtp at VS, where I ran around 96% for 4 years and now look at it.

I will add, that is why I do not trust some of these Casinos when you ask for your rtp and they fire back “96%” (as Sky did) because people who have followed the thread know, I used to do pretty well at VS and I always maintained that Sky was the worst by some distance yet my rtp at VS is 5% lower than Sky (allegedly). Yeah right, whatever (bullshit).

this just adds to my theory that the slots been dropped to around 90% rtp funny how it plays like the megapays version. part of reason i quit slots was this shit. audited my arse.
 
This thread is something else. wow. I just read last ~30 pages of this insanity. Hilarious stuff. Keep it up.

I haven't played Bonanza in almost 3 years but I'm actually curious to give it a go right now just to see how it actually plays.

The thing to remember is that the first few pages are full of players praising the game and its potential, but that by around page 7 the cracks are already starting to show, and by page 10 most people think it's rigged and hate it!

It's the gift that keeps on giving, this game. But really, you ought to read the other 755 pages of this thread for balance :D

:laugh: I might save those other pages for when I'm bored and have nothing better to do. But I feel like I got the gist of it already - apparently this slot is rigged, nerfed and destroyed and is completely unplayable now, BTG are bunch of crooks and thieves and everybody is in on it.

Got in one mate. Certainly no need to read back through.

Do i sense sarcasm? ;)
I don't play the game, never did. But these nice people have been battering away at this game since it came out, and shared their, uhm, wins here over the years. Shows just how utterly shit this game is when you consider how many spins PMK and snorky alone did during that time, not to mention everyone else here who has sacrificed their sanity in the futile attempt to chase its potential.

Attempt to chase it's potential? I've heard this before. What is the potential of Bonanza? Apart from that one dubious hit of 14.5kx what's the next highest win that we've seen in all these years? I don't think there exists any other win over 5kx. I feel like time has proven that Bonanza just doesn't have any real potential to chase. So I don't get those who complain daily about being robbed and yet still continue to pound away at it. Insanity.

And for the record I don't think the game is shit. I liked it when I used to play it. Had some great hits on it too. It was a great game at it's time, but now there are lots of better megaways options out there.
 
Just to clarify as there seems to be some confusion.

Bonanza used to be a great game, IF, you were happy to regularly hit between x100 and x1,000 but rarely anything higher. I would say, it’s volatility in the first 4 years was only medium.

However, now it’s volatility is beyond extreme and it struggles to cough out anything above x200, with 80% of bonuses paying less than x100. GO FIGURE!!

The only conclusion one can conclude is that the game is a complete and utter robbing bag o’ shite and has been nerfed beyond recognition. Seems highly coincidental that it happened from the exact moment Evolution acquired BTG.

Before we get the usual, “that can’t happen, they are tested and audited”. Unless you can provide me with validated and authenticated documentation, please don’t bother as I am fed up of that bullshit line.
 
Snorky's always been praising this game, there comes a point where you have to question whether he actually works for BTG :p

But speaking of potential, most have come to the realisation that the big wins aren't really there. So then what happens is they downgrade expectation, so that they end up chasing the potential potential. It's a slippery slope 🤷‍♂️
 
The whole industry is bollocks and everything that goes with it.

Deposit offers (all be them rare these days), free spins, battles, then on top of this nerfed RTP, sky high impossible variance and all the player protection tools bullshit, crap, crap and more crap.

Bottom line is gambling is an addiction and no matter how ethical they "appear" to be, these crooks will always pray on said addiction, knowing they can do what they want, whenever they want and will ALWAYS have customers/income.

For a game thar averages (i don't remember exactly) somewhere around 440 spins to drop a feature, meaning it can and does take upto 10,000 spins sometimes to drop it in, and the initial claim by BTG that it has unlimited multipliers for great potential (ok they may not have used the P word) If you could fathom the amount of spins these hardcore bonanza ladies and gentleman have pumped through it here, then to see so few hits even close to the 13,000x or whatever it was that was posted here, is utterly bloody disgusting. ..imo ;)



Edit. I may be wrong, my minds fuzzy from too much JD last night. But I think it was this game where the BTG dude said somethning along the lines of, yes, its possigle to get xx amount of diaomonds on xx multiplier. but you're looking at the same odds as donald trump becoming the next pope.

Now, While Don would make a great Pope and ya never know ay, I don't expect to see people hitting 100,000x on this. But what we have seen over the years for the amount of spins pumped through is very, very dissapointing. While I obviously can't give u a number, you have to appreciate just how many spins im talking about here, which if you are crazy enough to read this thread from the start you'd get a better idea of.

Well, I have done over 2,000,000 spins and had over 4,000 bonus rounds and wait for it……….I have had 2 that paid over x2,000. Highest was about x4,000 odd but that was a real stand alone.

I only have to select any point over 18 months ago and compare 100 consecutive bonus with any consecutive 100 from 18 months ago onwards to show how gimped the game is. It’s not even remotely close.
 
Yeah, probably millions of spins as well and off top of head:

6 1000x ish hits

Few 2000x ish hits i think, biggest X win was 3600x. Not great considering the spins

Worse still, when Reactoonz 2 has seen 5 1000x hits in a year as well:laugh:

Being said, bar Beefy and DHV (which is terrible at the moment) their games recently have been shite

They went from releasing a few a year to doling out crap releases every few months.

What happened to the BTG 100k quid giveaway comp as well? Seems to have stopped.
 
BTG and anyone representing their brand seem like an honest bunch. Much like their games, once we've put in a certain amount we'll get rewarded

- so once we breach 20,000 posts and 1million+ views, I expect the rep to appear like a ray of compensatory sunshine and get this comp rockin' and a rollin'!

Or just say "f*** it" and leave everyone hanging on an empty promise. We'll just have to wait and see *cough*

100 bonuses would prove absolutely nothing (other than that you were luckier in the past than you have been lately). If you actually wanted to make a serious claim that something has changed in the slot payouts you would need a massive sample size - like hundreds of thousands of bonuses (minimum).

It's the same thing with RTP - somebody posting here their RTP with ten thousand (or even hundred thousand) spins done proves absolutely nothing. Variance is a thing especially for HV slots like Bonanza. I have slots where my RTP is under 80%, just like I have slots where it's over 110% atm. Means nothing.

The more spins you do the closer you will be to rtp (allegedly). What bullshit that is!!! Every Casino I play at, my rtp has fallen dramatically in the past 6 months.

BTG/Evolution are a bunch of fraudsters and liars. We know that 1st hand from some of the antics that have gone on.

There is one on YT, red gems for 5100x or something in the FS. That's the only one I am aware of aside from the fabled, legendary 14400x. And that's what strikes me as exceedingly odd about the whole thing - there should have been, by way of the FS mechanic, sheer weight of player spins, randomness and game maths at least several others by now in the last 5 years between those figures of say 7340, or 9000x, 11,456x etc. :confused::confused::confused:

The longer we go without seeing anything near the 14400x the more it seems like a statistical aberration.

Everyone acknowledges 'your truth' Snorky. That's the fashionable thing to say now isn't it? :p

But wait! Slots run on the premise that not just millions, but billions of spins are needed to attain the game's exact RTP. And even then, it's never specified how many billions!

So then it becomes a case of trust as it were, that the provider isn't outright lying, because no player will ever possibly get within a fraction of a billion spins, never mind several billion. Convenient?....

Of course with such a vast chasm of spins there'll be peaks and troughs, but lather up and smack my buttocks if I've seen anyone go on anything resembling a sustained winning streak. Why are the winning sessions always micro-managed, when the RTP is stretched out that vast? Surely there'd be hundreds, if not thousands of 'flatline' sessions, yet never the other way round? 🤔

But random's random I guess, even if pre-programmed. I'm sure that unlimited multiplier will break through the 14,000x ceiling for a non-streaming type, one day :laugh:
 
Hang on, doesn't evolution gaming have some connection to latvia...
