New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Yes, undoubtedly the bonus is predetermined. That’s the problem with having too much gimmickry on a slot, sooner or later you (as a provider), hit a point where you can try all you like but you will never be able to pass it off as random to the more astute, amongst the public.

It’s so obvious that these games are not random but still you have people, insisting that they are. Take that latest Millionaire game they brought out.

The basis of the game (and I may be a little off the mark because I am only going from memory but you’ll get the gist), is getting 5 connecting symbols creates a reaction and another 5 creates another, etc.

If these games (applies to all similar grid games), were truly random, with all the possible variables there would be hits available that would be akin to winning the jackpot in the Euro millions. Yet despite millions of people playing millions of spins through these games we have never seen anything that comes close to blowing you away.

It should be more than possible, with stacked symbols, retriggers, unlimited multipliers and so on but it isn’t. That tells you, it’s controlled.

The same with any pick me feature. Again what you will get is predetermined, not random luck. I have tried a system that proves these are not random and you can try it yourself.

The best example (that I can think of), is Heist at Peacock Manor (Thunderkick). On triggering the (basic 3 scatter) feature you then get 3 picks from the face down cards 10 or 12 cards, can’t remember). Obviously, you want the gold card. It’s not always available but I would say, it is 90% of the time.

My strategy is to always pick the same 3 positions/cards. Yet despite having over 100 bonuses, I have never hit the gold card. The purists would say that’s just bad luck (some sort of bad luck, that it’s never been in any of those 3 positions every time) but it isn’t. It’s the fact that the outcome of your selections is already known and it’s no more than gimmickry to make you believe the reason you got a crap bonus was because you picked the wrong cards.
Biggest example I can think of for a game not being completely random was a recent encounter with Elk Studios Micro Knights. I had free spins and had just triggered the 'charge' feature, in which knights push rows of symbols off the grid into a queue below. Symbols in the queue count towards cluster wins. - if you have three rabbits in the queue and two on the grid it counts as a win. Only the first symbol in the queue counts before it is removed for the next to shuffle along into play.

My queue was bulked with threes and fours of each. I forget which symbol I had at the start but it was a common one, maybe the 'well', and I had four of them, needing just one to drop into the space created from the 'charge'.I have never been so sure of a symbol dropping in before. I don't think I have seen a spin where a single well symbol has not appeared. Suspiciously absent to say the least.

As for Wild Heist at Peacock Manor, I don't mean to brag but have had plenty of 'gold' cards, but reckon my lifetime spins must be about 10,000 :)

Another way of checking is in a pick me round, say chose 2 out of your 3 picks, close the game and pick different choices, when they are revealed, despite being a different place you picked, the outcome will be the same.

Cannot think off the top of my head whilst knackered an example of a game right now but there are plenty out there that work this way.
 
Yes, I remember a game that disconnected on me once. Remembering where I had picked, as you say, I picked different positions as the originals were the lowest symbols and sure enough they reappeared in those positions.

From memory it was a game with a monkey standing by the side of the reels. As you say though, the game wouldn’t make a difference, they all work in the same way.
 
I have it on good authority that Evolution’s game severs are located on the island of Tristan Da Cunha and powered by asthmatic gerbils.

I have started closing my accounts as online scamming has gone a step too far for my liking and this cheating bunch of corrupt people are top of the charts.

fair play mate, that’s why i quit not because i can’t handle losses (they are par for the course) but because the sheer skullduggery and cheating was beyond a joke. even 10p slots deposits lasting under 2 mins at times on 10p then any higher you’re looking at 90 seconds as the clock shows how long your gambling absolute theft. and bonanza was the icing on the cake. since quitting i’ve took my family on a holiday and have upgraded all our garden furniture massive new smoker and bbq which will give me hours of fun 😆so win win
 
Whether it is or not, rarely get to play Prags but do think they do actually deliver rather than just have us write a Christmas list which ends up in the bin,

See a lot of screenshots & replay links more than most other providers and have had one or two VS rewards deliver over 500x hits on Prag too.
Yeah but most are capped at like 5000x win or similair.

Whereas Bonanza has unlimited potential. be able to win enough to retire on a minimum bet stake. Once you hit the screen full of diamonds with a 50x or so multiplier lol.
