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.
~60x on base game and 300x on base game too. Not a single bonus today tho :D
But don't forget 300x on the base game is equivalent to getting 10 bonuses. :D
 
Honestly, Dazza...I owe you a pint. I used to play Bonanza now and again but listening to your vids at work gave me the bug to play it a bit more. Slots are running hot for me at the mo, but I've cashed out over 10k since that 7412x hit on Bonanza alone. Was playing earlier, usual £100, £1 spins. Feature dropped and paid £120. So did £2 spins for a bit. Just as I got near £200 balance I got a +5 scatter...not had one of those for years....and it paid fuck all. 16 spins to give £100 or so. Last spin gave near on a full screen of Jacks for the attached beauty...

LOL...

"Fake! Impossible! No-one can be that lucky! You must be playing the Dazza version! Affiliate RTP! Never happens for me! I lost 2,342,871x stake this week without a single feature! (goes on for another 94 repetitive, petty, envious and boring whines...) :laugh::laugh: "

Seriously, you and @interlog must be having one of those spawny mid-length runs right now, I have just been twatted 4x £200 with one 6.4x feature, totally the opposite for me right now. I have stopped for a while.

Enjoy the winnings, WTG! :thumbsup:

P.S. I cannot say what will happen next, but I can absolutely guarantee you the only certain thing about luck is that it WILL change, especially on this bastard!
 
Bet their spawn won’t run for 18 months. Just a short term peak!!

Anyway, in light of my recent brains on hills they’ve kindly sent me a nice email…..

Yes that’s right as a result of my stupidity in failing to believe the game can actually continue to be that fucking awful. They’ve kindly decided that the responsible thing to do is continue to allow me deposit with their self imposed limit of 5 bag a month. But not allow me to take part in either the bonus drop or the scratch of the day!! Well done 888/Billy Hills and fuck you.

I’ll take my £3.2k profit which probably would have been 10k if it hadn’t been for Bonanza and never play there again. Strangely tho I’m still getting the epic odds and have still not had betting restrictions enforced which is where all the profit has come from. I wonder how long it will take them to cut that off when they realise I’m no longer playing slots there.

They recently cut my access to the slots promotions [if you can call them that], something like 'these are not available on your account' then I lost a fair bit and the promotions page was back minus their coin drop game. :confused:

I did get most of my recent losses back a week later, but also got ripped by a slot game in their bingo section called 'stampede'... f**k me that was brutal, from a games maker called 'eyecon' very apt name in my experience!

I think on the slots side of the business WH are having a bad time compared to previous years, and within 12 months the site will be redesigned, maybe with better rtp as well. [edit: if they're that hard up, that giving away 5 x 10p spins needs rationing]
 
Yeah apart from the bonus drop and the odd 5 free spins on 10p their promos are non existent anyway. They were among the best before 888 took over tbf. I only really played bonanza, Horus Megaways and Tyrant king MW’s anyway, due their terrible RTP’s.

Like sky when they imposed a loss limit on me of just a ton, they won’t be seeing another coin off me on the casino front.

Pretty much just bet 365 left for me now on the gaming front. Altho coral and lads are running prags at top rtp so that’s another option for me to play those games.

Whilst they may be a 'reputable' UK bookie, they are IMO, a crap casino. From their overly muddled site, to crap casino promotions and laggy games, i gave up on them
 
This game is irreparably broken, the past 2 days it has absolutely ecplised my previous (unwanted) record of spins without a bonus.

1669241768561.png
8,095 spins, four deposits (thankfully all with 50% bonus) across 2 days and the game will not bonus. I got one yesterday after about 450 spins that paid bloody awful and now it refuses to give another. Surely it has to make up for this and start thowing them in once the seal is broken. If the proported 500 spin bonus frequnecy is true then surely it owes me plenty.

WTF?? That is the first VERIFIED instance I've seen of people who usually say "Oh, I had 4000 spins and no feature blaha blah..." I have gone over 2500 (counted) without one, so say I did that twice consecutively that would be 2 features in over 5k spins. But one in 8.1k??? That is unbelievably bad. I recall 13 consecutive deposits at Jackpot Joy without one, but I didn't count the total spins and they were £50 deposits playing 40-60p so assuming 300 spin average that would have been just shy of 4k spins, only half as bad as yours.

I think that serves as a reminder of what the variance of Bonanza is capable of, it can go on extended periods of utter shiteness then all of a sudden you'll get a session where they drop in like confetti and keep on doing so day after day. I hope that's the case for you - with Jackpot Joy in my case I SE'd before I ever got to the point of luck changing as I was so pissed off with it. It's also noticeable your RTP is pretty bang on the base game proportion of 76% so with 20% for the feature and no features landed it strikes a chord.

But if it's been changed how is that possible ;)

8000 spins without a feature must be at the outer edge of what it's statistically capable of. With a 1/460 feature frequency, to go 8096 spins without one is 17.6x the average, I'd always considered a run of 10x the average to be very bad.
 
I had 8000 [must've been slightly more] consecutive spins at ladbrokes, with no break or reload of the game, and no bonus. I couldn't believe it at the time and in the end it spurned me on out of disbelief and determination to force it to give me one [and it was a shiter as well if memory serves me].

The following day it dropped in two +5's in short time [again at ladbrokes].

Agreed, it seems to be a statistical anomaly, I have never got past half that amount of spins without a feature in 6 years - this guy has been incredibly unlucky.
 
Seriously though, if this game has been changed, what actually is it that's been changed?

RTP is the same as it's always been, no change there.

By all accounts feature frequency is the same at 1/460, the experiences that continue to be reported in this thread back that up.

TheSchwad's numbers above are very instructive, 8000 spins isn't normally enough of a sample to draw a conclusion for anything on a slot, but 8000 spins without a feature, especially on a base game as grindy as Bonanza, does actually give us a decent number, and it's landed bang on the base game RTP it's always had.

This means that bonus round RTP remains the same as well, as we know the overall RTP hasn't changed.

All that being the case, what's left? They could have changed the volatility of the base game and/or the bonus round, but what's the point of that? It doesn't achieve anything, and we continue to get reports in this thread of it still being able to deliver long grindy sessions from relatively small deposits.
 
new pushgaming Retro Tapes I played I am sure he can beat Bonanza without bonus and very small win on game play, you can easy do 10k spins without bonus,
 
You’re confusing 1 or 2 people saying it’s been changed with that of a global opinion.

As I said it’s always had the ability to behave like this. Some people will have managed to avoid it. Others won’t have been so lucky. Everybody comes on and moans when they get shafted and I’m certainly no different, but that doesn’t mean the game has been changed. However it’s examples like the above (1 feature in 8.5k spins) that really make you realise the game is a shit show compared to other slots that DO produce far better value for money.

In fresh news after my hills mauling I tried 365 yesterday. The MSG speed fest.

£250 wiped out on 40/60p but I did manage 3 features. 2 were both under 50x the other slightly above.

A revisit this morning and 100x stake deposit wiped out in 13 minutes and 7 seconds.

Now that my friends is value.

I was close to a grand up over a couple of weeks on football and horses along with a fortunate hit on another game. Bonanza has munched the lot on small stakes and has been an absolute disgrace. A reminder to myself of why I ditched depositing with my ‘own’ money.

Long love the Pragmatics!! See the light people!!!

Better value to be had!!!

However I would still draw the line playing the bore fest that you enjoy playing over at 3 dice!

Congrats by the way choppers for not mentioning them in 2 consecutive posts!!! Is that a record??
 
Played it with money for the last few sessions: it gave a 500 and 600x in the first session. Knew what was coming next, but with insanity i just continued: went 4 deposits over the next few session with hardly a L, let alone D - wiped out the 500x win so still up but tbf, it's always been like that IMO, even back to the glory days of 2017/18

Horse for courses though, i see Prags being bigged up? I'm 1500 spins in DH MW's without a bonus and more down on them than BTG. Sometimes providers take a liking to your unique ID:p
 
Yeah of course!! They’re all as bad or as good as each other!!

I had a cracking run on them tbf, but it’s come to an end.

Funnily enough DH MW’s was one that never really impressed me that much. Very difficult to bonus altho the base could drop in the odd decent hit. Easily go few hundred spins without even seeing a paw!! Let alone 2 or 3.

At least when you get the tease it has a fair chance of landing.
