New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[ChopleyIOM]

Just once I would like to hit the average, this is really getting out of hand, cant remember the last time I even got near to x 100 on this and I am playing it every day.

The problem you're going to run up against is how rare the feature is on Bonanza, it's almost impossible to overstate how batshit crazy a 1/460 feature frequency is, this is in a world where somewhere between 1/150 and 1/200 is pretty much accepted as the 'correct number'.

It's just going to grind you out against that 76% RTP in the base game, and even if you achieve AVERAGE feature frequency you're only getting a result out of the 'bonus round bag of balls' (as it were) once every 1/460 spins, which you need to reach 96% RTP. Catch those bonus round results on a bit of a bad run (and we all know what shitters Bonanza can throw at you) and you're in a world of pain that can easily last for tens of thousands of spins (and then some.....).

@dunover gave a nice concise summary of the absolutely pernicious maths model that BTG have come up with here, it's quite a way back in this thread somewhere (I'll see if I can find it) and it still absolutely holds true.

I honestly and truly do not understand why people keep bashing their head against this slot, I mean, I'm not averse to setting myself a goal on a slot and then grinding away at it, but Bonanza seems to me like the worst possible option when it comes to head versus brick wall.

MANDATORY 3DICE MENTION - 3Dice have a monthly achievement called 'PATIENCE', if any of their videoslots goes more than 500 spins without a feature, you get literal free money on a 1xWR to take some of the sting out of it, they give you 'sympathy money' for a feature drought that Bonanza considers very close to expected average results.

I've done 45K spins at 3Dice this month (plus more on their classic slots, which don't count in this number). My worst result is 614 spins without a feature and they gave me £25 for that.

There are still loads of slots out there to choose from that have far more sensible maths models than Bonanza



I just logged into my account over at VS, they still seem to have Taxi Movida on their books, is that still available to UK facing players? 98.27% RTP and an infinitely saner maths model than Bonanza.

Don't think that game has ever been available to us UK players and even if it was it wouldn't be for long with a 98.27% RTP lol

I don't think I get a 'special' version of the site, might not hurt to have a look for it

OK so here's the post @dunover made about this, I mean, seriously, if you're not going to listen to someone as seasoned as he is, then I have no further words for you.

Note in particular his closing comments about never even remotely trying to 'claw back' a bad position on this slot.

great bonus

Did rather well on the nags today and yesterday.

Stupidly went back to hills as surely it was ‘due’

Jesus Christ it’s a fucking disgrace.

Around about 2,500x stake now for just 2 features. Not one single base game hit that warranted a tune(25x or more)

I’m thinking I’m on some kind of Billy Hills black list, diverted to some kind of fucked up server.

Normally I’d get the bit between my teeth and carry on but even I can’t stomach another deposit.

It’s hard to know but I take it this is another of your tongue in cheek posts. You being one of the biggest advocates of random, after all.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Obviously the part of billy hills blacklist and the diversion yes.

Where have you been Snorks??

I still stand by that, I'm still well down on it but have made back a chunk of net losses in last year or so. Unless I fluke a magic hit on a £4+ stake I'll never be ahead overall. But I still get drawn back to it for spells, before taking a break, as I am now.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I think the only games you could possibly claw back 6 years of losses on are the bat shit ones like DOA2 and some of the NLC ones(altho unlikely in the UK) I’d possibly include lil devil in that.

With bonanzas top end of bonuses being around the 1000x mark it would be near impossible. But then what could you expect playing a 96% game for so long?

On another subject I’ve just been culled again by another ‘bookie’ site. This time it’s bet 365.

Cheers…………

 

[pinnit2014]

Unibet have been doing the same

TBH, i'd be quite happy if the UK bookies set mine to a tenner. Esp William Hill - the most bent of the bent

 

[Valhalla]

I remember when I first started playing this game I was getting wins like £300 to £400 from a 60p bet, and up to and over £600 for 80p bets.
Nowadays 99% of bonuses are well under 100x bet. I don't even recall the last time I got a big win, base game or FS.

 

[Jackstar]

Can anyone load bonanza? Surely it’s not getting another update?

Not playing slots much, that’s where I have been. Too many greedy providers and Casinos have spoiled what used to be an enjoyable pastime so bollox to them.

Yeah I did that don’t show up at all for me…..

 

[CongoGB]

Christmas version has hit VS, so I'm giving it a go and attempting to bonus... Question is, can it hit 117K in the bonus?

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

If it’s an exact copy of the original but with blocking presents instead of gems then no it can’t, despite what horse shit comes out of the BTG headquarters.

Time will tell. Doesn’t take that long to see it in their other games that can do it.

 

[cncas2123]

Seriously... todays the last time I am playing this shite. It must be at least a month several dozen bonus rounds since I got x 100, no fun anymore.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

Have a try yourself.

No, it cannot do the Max MW in FS.

It does come to the affiliates with a game info pack from Relax which states 'max win 26,000x bet'

 

[hogexd]

Same old shit with a new festive look
