New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Yes, all this, needs a new certificate is bullshit. These games are regularly taken down and tweaked. That’s why there are different versions but the public are never told why or what was done. If it’s all fair and above board and nothing untoward has taken place then why not tell us? I mean transparency would create customer confidence in the brand.

It was the same when FOBTS appeared in betting shops and it was widely stated and accepted as a rule, that the servers for these games had to be “offshore”.

It was a total myth, absolute bollox but was anyone ever taken to task over it? No of course not. It was a license to print money, an absolute scam. The biggest open con of all time, that was actually self-policed. :laugh:

Can you believe that? A multibillion gambling industry that was allowed to be self-policed. That’s is why, when the government actually realised how bad it had become, they had to listen and eventually, (even though they would have preferred not to for tax reasons), reduce the max bet.

It just shows how severe the fixing of these FOBTS was, I mean to reduce the max bet from £100 to £2 is beyond severe and just highlighted the severity of gambling problems and debt that FOBT roulette has caused in the previous 15 years.

The reason, I elude to this scenario is because with each day, I see online gambling becoming more and more like a seaside arcade, where everything is screwed down to the max, ensuring holiday makers leave all their dollars behind.

Yes folks, the good old days, where it genuinely felt you were at least playing games with a 96% rtp have long gone. As the market has got tighter and everyone wants a piece of the pie, the actual pie isn’t large enough to feed the scavenging vultures so naturally they resort to underhanded tactics.

Again, who’s fault is that really, Governing bodies (or lack of). I think one of the biggest problems is, there are too many games out there.

Here is an alternative reason as to why games might appear to have severely reduced rtp’s,

Forget what anybody tells you, games are not random and bonus rounds are pre-determined. I am sorry to have to keep reiterating this but some people are slow learners. Games are, what’s known as super compensated so in the old days people would work out roughly how much a machine needed to take before dropping the jackpot. For example £100-£125 fed through normally triggered the jackpot of £25 or hot streak.

Of course things have moved on since then and it would be useless having that type of game online as there are too many smart players out there nowadays.

Enter, the super compensated era. These games work on the same principle but the trigger point for decent wins is unknown because it doesn’t always take the same amount to trigger a decent win. The games can take £500 and pay out £300 and then take £1,000 and pay out £20 and there’s nothing you can do about it because that’s deemed “fair”.

The reason they might seem to have a reduced rtp is because obviously wins are still triggered by the volume of money the game is taking so when a game is at its pinnacle and height of popularity, it will be having more money pumped through it so the wins will be more frequent and you will see the games full array of graphic displays and 9 scatter triggers etc.

But as the novelty wears off and players move on the volume of cash being played through decreases. Let’s remember there are some huge gamblers out there. Imagine someone putting £50,000 through Bonanza in a day and losing it (and believe me that will have happened and worse). All the small punters get huge hits of £100-£500, to keep them happy and the Casino still keeps a profit.

Eventually that big player moves on, All of a sudden, there is 50k per day less going into the pot. It’s going to have a massive impact on how the game plays and the rewards available. So as more and more games are released the thinner and thinner money gets spread, which from a players point of view is the worst thing that can happen.

Big Time Gaming is reviewed by Casinomeister - read our review and comment here in this forum thread.
that is a beautiful base game hit,i think my best is about 300-400x ever,ive read here that people have had 2000x base game hits well that must be a lot of diamonds to pay that amount
My best base game came with red rubies: I was playing Redbet and down to last 20 after talking stuff out and, can't remember if it was 117k MW, but they came in slow-motion and gave, IIRC, 1300x

Diamond wise i think i had a 800x in the base.

Few and far between though, but they are good when they come in as they catch you unawares.
 
Wild North has more potential!!
Lots of slots have more potential BUT, do they deliver is the question? Based on potential, you could play some NLC but the potential works both ways, in as much as, they have the potential to pay big and more likely, destroy endless deposits without seeing a decent win.

N.B. Bonanza now has that potential too but it never used to have it.

Bring back the old version that didn't come with large blocks of dead spins that almost always destroy the bonuses.
It is so bloody obvious the bonus rounds have been gimped beyond recognition and after the first couple of spins you 95% know the outcome. Completely destroyed the excitement the game used to bring. The sea of Aces or Kings just don’t appear nowadays and all you get is capped 3oak wins. You can also notice, that if you do hit in the bonus, the chance of increasing the multiplier on that spin has all but been removed by nothing matching for the subsequent cascade.

Yes, these providers are smart and they do fool 95% of people, 95% of the time but trying to fool someone who knows the product better than they do, well, that just ain’t happening.

I have the stats that prove beyond any doubt that the game has been destroyed.

prior to the game being destroyed what i liked about it was the fact i could get play time and withdraw bits and bobs sometimes big but mostly in the £150-500 range which kept the bank
roll sweet the play time
was the main thing though didn’t feel
ripped off and if i didn’t withdraw it would be fine cos i had plenty of
play time. what i witnessed in the months leading up to me gam stopping was just absolutely deplorable! never felt so robbed and the rage was just too
much sounds silly but you know that feeling of desposit and literally every spin was dead except the odd 4p micro win thrown in for good measure, then they made the bonus impossible to land which was horrid because it was already hard to land at times, then when you got the bonus it was always 5-7 dead spins followed by micro wins, in the months leading up to quitting i barely got a good bonus on it. also they’ve destroyed extra chilli who wants to be a millionaire as well beyond recognition. and there newer games are soulless evolution money pits. can’t tell me that evolution buy out didn’t affect this. BTG have never come
out and defended there company. they know they’ll get away with it and selling out to evolution was just the final nail in there coffin. the industry was always bent but since covid they have ramped
it up big time. like they all got together to create the biggest fraud and scam
ever. i also have a theory on the uk we hardly see any mega wins anymore in the thread coming from
the uk it’s like we’ve been stopped from getting big wins i don’t know how they’ve done that but they have. all the mega wins are euros and dollars they don’t seem
to allocate them
to 🇬🇧 our shores anymore. rant over time for a fag and coffee
 
I did try this game out in 'Fun' Mode merely the other day, even if just to see if it felt any different to my previous experience, and to rekindle that old passion.

Having had around an hour's unbridled 'fun' I soon enough hit that bonus, and cried out in pain that I'd shunned this game for so long:

bonanz.jpg

Needless to say, I'd splurged 80 quid, to see the bonus reward me with......£10 🤔

So much like the old flame, passions were soon quelled upon seeing that she's now a fat soccer mom with a wooden leg :what:

And whilst not a definitive overview of how the Bonanza session may have panned out, and bad bonuses not exactly being uncommon since its release, bonuses of this magnitude were mostly the exception. So for that to be my Welcome Back, screw you. Put enough spins through it to have a pretty good understanding of its potential - and this ain't 'it'.

Played on a bit more, got so utterly bored of the grind that I soon conjured up a 'to do' list in amongst the tedium, one of which involved cleaning the cat food bowls, as that seemed strangely appealing all of a sudden.....

Whether bonuses have changed or not, who can say, but I know that 'back in the day' losing £80 in a slow death march before triggering the bonus round didn't seem as commonplace, unless well into a mega-session. So there you have it. As football chants might state, this game's shit and it knows it is. Don't play it, people :D

A mirror image of my thoughts exactly.
 
I will double check to make sure but I am almost positive that since last Sunday up until earlier this evening I hit 28 GOLD and about 4 retriggers.

All, yes every single f+^<¥n’ one paid less than x100. Unbelievable, it used to be a real rarity to get 5 in a row but 28, that’s a slot that’s been nailed to the floor.

Would you care to verify that @BTG Rep? Feel free to add a comment about how amazingly random the game is too and how I must have just been unlucky. Otherwise people might start believing me when I say it’s bent to hell.

I would post them all if it wasn’t so much palaver uploading screenies. It would also have to carry the warning “some viewers may find the follow scenes distressing”. I know f^+¥~•g did.

Always thought the Australia=crooks was a myth. It absolutely isn’t.
 
We only need another 300 posts of regurgitated Bonanza shite guys, because then we'll have passed 20,000 comments in this thread!

Then we'll see the BTG rep - not just to answer any questions he's been tagged with, but to see that comp he promised several months ago FINALLY honoured!

Snorky calls Australians criminals, so let's give the BTG rep a chance to prove that Snorky's not completely right :thumbsup:

Just goes to show how people run on games, I have played over 2 million spins had thousands of bonuses over 3500 actually and not had one over 1000x Yet my mate has played far less, had several over 1000x and one of just shy of 2600x 😡

Amen to that! I think it's key to remember the basics of games of chance, testing over billions of spins, RNG etc, one experience can be completely different to the other, blah, blah, blah.

I have played MT2 much more than a pal who hit around 15,000x after only a few tries. That's the name of the game.

My personal experience has led me to stay away from Bonanza, I'm in the minority, but for me, it's been awful, and I keep trying to join the gang :)
