New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[Jono777]

Can’t believe he’s still got a balance left.

I would absolutely love @Videoslots to post my stat’s for the past 12 months (probably 18 to be fair). Imagine the worst run of gameplay you have ever had, x it by 10 and that’s about where it’s at.

I am not just talking Bonanza here. I am talking pretty much every god damn pice of shite, that site hosts. I stick at it (wrongly) believing there will be some recompense but no, just deposit after deposit disappearing quicker than putting notes through a shredder.

Absolutely disgusting, including 3 runs of 60+ deposits in a row without doubling the initial deposit. So come on @Videoslots, I am calling you out here. Come and defend yourselves, if you have nothing to hide and I am making it all up.

My stat’s there don’t even come close to being as good as any other site that I play the same games on, and I consider 90% of those sites, piss poor.

So come on, don’t hide behind the curtains and let some over zealous keyboard warrior, tarnish your reputation. Get your wonderful, loved by all Casino, to show people just how crap people can run at your site.

I promise you in good faith, you’d be shocked, even Chopley would have to have a think about it.

N.B. Please don’t tell me, I can produce my own stat’s, I’ve tried, it whirls away for hours and downloads nothing. Also, if this post needs moving to the VS thread, please do so. I didn’t start a new thread title as I would have received a lifetime ban.

Nah, 4% house edge remember,

Honestly feels like the same old Bonanza to me,

Time’s a great healer.

Honestly feels like the same old Bonanza to me, here's the stats after having it lumping away for just over three hours in autoplay, I'll call it here with a solid hit in the basegame (max Megaways wankathon). I'll pick it up again tomorrow and continue to track the stats.

So for those who are interested…..

So if those figures are correct ( no reason they wouldn’t be from chops ) and bearing in mind it’s a small sample, and assuming they were all 20p spins….

Base = 84.07%
Feature = 6.64%
Total = 90.71%

Which is most likely theoretically down to the feature value currently at only 55x ave

Look forward to your next data post

As stated above @Videoslots are running one of the worst versions of Bonanza ever seen. It’s an absolute disgrace and no it’s just my imagination or bad luck.

Come on @Videoslots, defend yourselves. Post my stats for the past two years and prove I am wrong. Or are you afraid to show the boys and girls what a twisted underhanded version you’re accommodating?

TBH snorks, you can just get them to tell you and you tell us?

 

[snorky510238]

TBH snorks, you can just get them to tell you and you tell us?

Well if I had a day to waste, yes. My lifetime Bonanza is 94%, I know that much. My issue is that in the last 12-18 months my rtp on EVERY game has plummeted (except Pirots), how can you rationally explain that? It’s more than just horrendous luck and most of the games I play, supposedly have only 1 rtp.

What is a GOLD again?

 

[snorky510238]

What is a GOLD again?

GOLD:-

Allegedly, an event that takes place about as often as a sighting of Halley’s Comet. Although, experts say the comparison is widely exaggerated and in reality, it’s far less often.

The event itself, consists of 10 symbols that randomly (oops, there goes another rib), fall into a 6x6 grid, that can vary in size up to an alleged 117,649 ways, although again, experts say the Loch Ness monster has more chance of being sighted.

During the event there is also a scrolling reel above the grid. In each of the four windows, any one of the 10 symbols can appear plus the possibility of two other added symbols that do not appear on the main grid, these being wilds and carts.

There is also a function known as an unlimited multiplier, in play. Again, experts have stated that this is a mythical term and can hardly be applied to a numerical sequence that rarely exceeds 30. Each time a winning combination is achieved, the players stake value is in effect, increased by 1x the stake.

Winning combinations consist of a minimum of 3oak (2 for diamonds) of the same symbol appearing on the grid in any position, reading, left to right. This is where the carts are particularly useful, as they can be strategically placed, to prevent the player from achieving huge winning combinations.

If a player is fortunate enough to witness the rare occurrence of the multiplier reaching 10x their stake, the wild symbol will usually only appear in positions where it is totally useless. With this scenario it is also common to see the number of carts that appear, default to 2 and appear on every spin, which again, ensures that the player is incensed to the max.

Spot on! My own numbers agree with the VS backend and your 90.71% RTP figure is bang on the nose too.

As you correctly note it's a very small spin sample but it does back up what some of us always maintain about Bonanza, that with so much consistent RTP and churn in the basegame, you're always going to be within shouting distance of RTP, with the feature events and the pays of those features generally being what'll determine if you're above or below target. Although last night my biggest win was actually off the basegame.

I'm recording everything with Bandicam so am verifying the numbers as I go, as you can see I counted 1679 spins last night, and so did the VS backend.

I've experienced far worse sessions on modern slots than what Bonanza did last night, and I've still got £70 left from my deposit. That 3 Lucky Leprechauns had £100 off me on 20p spins in less time than Bonanza took just £30 off me last night.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

So we head into day two of this grand endeavour.

GOOD NEWS - Feature trigger after just 18 spins!



LESS GOOD NEWS - It paid 7.25x stake and achieved a momentous 5x multiplier.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

And it's another feature after just 39 spins. I'm on a roll!



Well, sort of. 31.8x stake. Still, we're headed in the right direction at least.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Place your bets!

 

[gonzo fonso]

its a logical no brainer,you get more play at 0.20p if it was 0.60p or 0.80p im sure you would have been bust,for me the RTP decreases the higher the stake

 

[dunover]

LOL...so about 1750 spins and 4 features, that's one every 437 spins, bang on average thus far. Now when I get a deposit lasting a few hours and multiple features I always get comments about 'impossible!' or 'never happens for me' and 'this is bollocks, I played 234,098,457 spins last week with no GOLD'....

It's quite funny to get the standard 20-40x stinker as I notice that occurs most frequently, as I often moan about in my sessions. So average feature frequency thus far, below average returns from them.

 

[dunover]

6-scatter trigger, usually between 120 and 200x I predict...

 

[ChopleyIOM]

239.55x.

Which bit of this game is supposed to be rigged?

I'm now in profit.

 

[dunover]

So 5 features, average around 80x, slightly lower than they should be but not far from the 86-ish average. This is where I would raise stakes to 40p and play down to say 70-80 quid to try your luck, before reverting to 20p again.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Current stats, feature frequency running at 1/365 so I'm ahead of the curve in that regard, but as dunover notes, average pay is still a little on the low side. That 2.5x on the extreme low end is hurting a lot, but the 239.55x has repaired a good chunk of the damage.

Off to quite the start today though, three features in 130 spins. I suspect that's probably about as good as it's going to get.

I'm prepared to play this deposit down to a bust to get some more numbers recorded.

For me though, this is exactly the same Bonanza I remember playing years ago.

I can see similarities to my play here. I am more of a risk-taker than @ChopleyIOM - he has a considerable 500 credits here whereas I do higher stakes and load 100 credits. Result is numerous twattings of 20-30 minutes play with no features, or 1 shit feature but when it goes okay I double stakes and either get in a minority of cases a substantial raise or bust out a good balance, much to the dismay of my YT subs. But I am not led by practicalities as much as chopley is, I feed a desire to have bad quick sessions and lots of comical moaning and conspiracy comments, or the adrenaline of big wins.

So let's transpose this chopley effort - he has put in 500 credits so let's break them down to how I would have replicated this over FIVE separate deposits.

I would have started with 100 credits, in this case £20 - as you saw, he left it last night at just under £70 so he would have produced a hour-plus video with 2 features but bust, having had a decent turnover, but a losing session.

Next up (I am now £20 down) so a second £20 goes in and at bedtime that is down to £9.63 (where he left it last night.)
As you can see by his play, a decent burst of 3 features including the 6-scatter trigger occurs, now that £9.63 is up to £53.95 afterwards.
At that juncture, I am now in a comfort zone where I can set a withdrawal point of £40 (thus doubling the second £20 deposit) and raise the stakes to 40p until I hit that mark or possibly have more luck and go higher than the £53.95, maybe raising again and raising the withdrawal point accordingly. Either way it will be a winning video.

So chopley is pretty much reproducing the same sort of play I experience.

On the side of @snorky510238 I have in the past made the same comments he has. Most notably, the first Starclusters slot where I was so pissed-off with the play that I asked SkyV for my data on the game, only the second time I ever felt compelled to ask a casino for this info. I believe this affair is documented somewhere in this thread btw. I was given stats of 27,000-odd spins and a RTP of just shy or just over 91%, way off the mark. I even skyped Nik at BTG with this data screenshot and asked if there was a 90-92% version of this game in existence as I couldn't believe the drift on a lower-variance game I was having. He was surprised how bad it was too.

Conclusion - pretty much as many people here and chopley have said all along, and myself in sane moments: you are playing quite a volatile game with billions of outcomes designed to relieve you of 4p in the £........this means you can experience spells of tens of thousands of spins and then be way below or above the mark and due to said volatility would need a huge amount of spins at the casino you play at to level out at say +/- 1% of the 96% RTP.

Nothing to see here really...

Well make the most of it as after today you can't use my casino account and have to return to the 'normal' Bonanza in your own personal account.

 

[CongoGB]

It's nice to see some actual sensible/realistic posting here for a change - like the old days when people played and then posted here for "fun"!

But I also made the thread more fun by hitting the ignore button on someone, so 90% of the tin foil hattery has disappeared for me

 

[snorky510238]

Carry on posting and playing every day for 5 years and it might mean something.

Jeez!!! Talk about double standards and angenda’s, pots and kettles.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Actually hit some diamonds in the free spins. More would have been nice though.

Well show us that damning dossier of evidence you claim to have then. I'm the one who's actually chucked some time and money at this to record some, y'know, real numbers.

(SPOILER ALERT - It's going to turn out that Bonanza runs to a 96% RTP, has a 1/460 feature frequency which leads to a much higher than average feature pay of 86x, but also has substantially more RTP in the basegame than most slots.)

 

[mack341]

You have to tinker with stakes [balance permitting] hopefully get lucky with timing, sometimes you get a 'feeling' and it works; as Dunover often says in his vids an early bonus can mean a doomed session.

Obviously just loading up the autospins while you play a ps5 prevents stake optimisation!
