New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Oh that is a bad number greylady, I feel for you.

To be honest, I have somewhat let go of Bonanza, basically because I got bored waiting for the bonus round. Played yesterday some 1800 spins, no bonus round, today a little better but the whole last 2 weeks I did not have a single round (although I played less than usual due to the lack of deposit options).

Plus, the payouts seem to average nowadays between 20x - 50x bet for most rounds, which one can have at any normal slot. Can't even remember when I had the last time more than 200x bet on it. :oops:

Had two withdrawals since yesterday at Rizk where Bonanza is restricted for me. Plenty of bonus rounds, some paid bad but some really good. Best was 250x bet on Baker's Treat. Wasted then $600 on Bonanza yesterday, no bonus round. Today $250 to get the first one and it paid 12x bet, got then a few more with the best paying 74x bet (GOLD +5). :eek:

Waiting now for Chilli to be released as I have the feeling that Bonanza is overplayed making it harder to score a good win. Too many players are hitting the slot, just like the VS battles where it has become rather hard to get into the TOP10. When they were limited to 500 players, i used to have a few TOP10 positions every week.

I hear what you say :)

It wouldn't be so bad if it was Bonanza but checking stats yesterday, in six months there is barely a session where I have hit the recommended RTP on any slot, never mind went above my deposit.

Good luck with Chilli :):) - hope you win a monster (well not literally ;))
 
Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
Yeah, in some sites the sound goes ‘tinny’. If that was my only issue with the game, all would be fine.

But definitely the bonus average has taken a plummet for me to around 50 to 100 x. So, for now, it’s binned. Having said that, Reactoonz basically assassinated me yesterday to the tune of 400 quid. When the end feature game it was 75x :rolleyes:

Win some, lose more :p
 
I do not think the average is 100x. My last 20 or so bonuses ..at least 10 are under 20x. 2 just over 100x and the rest from 30x-50x. 2 out of 20 at 100x seems pretty strange considering others feedback.

This slots bonus payouts is like dragon born.
 
I had 4 bonuses in 50 spins tonight which is ultra rare.

159x
8x
18x
45x

I think for every 5 features you will hit your 100x. The other 4 will be under 50x and then throw in the odd one in between bigger than 100x and between 50-100x

It is absolutely not 100x on average. it is without question 15-50x

Had a break from the money eating monster.
Played at rebet tonight, put £2.5k through the beast.
Just cashed out £2850.

Have been playing for eight hours, nothing but nothing happening on £1 / £2 / £4 stakes
Went through a massive dry spell, I went all for broke like I used to and upped it to £5, a bonus dropped when my balance was approx £80 (5th £500 deposit just made)
It paid £1200.
I was going to leave it as it was some money back.
I restarted the game and and within 10 spins it dropped in again on a £5 stake and paid £1377.
I played the odd £27 off at £1 nothing there.

Its back on the banned list, Im just counting myself lucky I actually got my money back plus a small profit.

This game must have some kind of memory, it could of all gone pear shaped.
Its Banned / Banned / Banned, im telling you!!!
TC/ GL all
 
Since the RTP info came out at VS, I thought I would have a thorough gander through my stats, I have had 8 bonus rounds in almost 38,000 spins there - absolutely shocking is all I can say, that is an average of 4749 spins per bonus and it's no wonder i quit :eek2:

Forgive my ignorance and or stupidity but when looking at stats I can’t see no. of bonus rounds in there? Or is this just from your memory?

My DHV rtp is a dreadful 84% after 21,000 spins. Can’t see me ever recovering from that.

Well you will eventually, but it might take another million spins to get there, all these slots will hit their T-RTP after enough spins (unless you're in the 'they're not fair and/or random camp', in which case stop playing online slots.....), but when you've got monster wins on the paytable the likes of which Bonanza and DHV are capable of, which you've got a vanishingly small chance of actually hitting, it's possible to be way behind (or ahead!) of the curve for an awfully long time.

21,000 spins is a lot to an individual, but it's nothing compared to the maths models behind the scenes on these slots, which will run out to millions of spins for their T-RTP.

I actually have a spreadsheet, which details the information on the slots I play the most across different sites.

The RTP stats just reiterated that information as in about 70 sessions Bonanza hit it's recommended RTP about three times (only by a margin) which is significantly lower than any other site. Most of my sessions are sitting at 40%/50%/60% RTP - every deposit ripped for months :cool:
 
Bonanza has gone back to being dead for me.

It’s been a weird week of gambling. Deposited $150 at VS instead of the usual $50 and cashed out $300 thanks to good bonuses on Bonanza and Magic Gate and a 460x hit on Endorphina’s Shaman.

With the $23 left, I got it to $50 again due to Bonanza and cashed that out.

Made a $50 deposit on VS and busted on various games including Bonanza.

Made a $50 deposit on PlayOLG and got my sixth Dragon’s Temple bonus and cashed out $104.

Made a 3rd deposit on VS and again busted on Wild Wheel Spin and Bonanza.

I might not be done this week...

I’m up $200 for the year.
 
Ya it was only like 40 bucks so was not expecting much, Than boom boom and got up to over $300! Cashed out $125 and kept the rest in but then everything kinda went dead.

Nice one matey.

What I tend to do when things go dead is turn it all off, pop and do something else for an hour or so and then start a fresh session.

Doesn't always work of course but uncanny the amount of times it actually does lol!
 
These egg timer slots hey. you know the once that don't pay in the base game and just slowly take your balance and bust you unless you get a good bonus round.
x785 On a decent Diamond Cascade.

Yup! Egg timer slot was trickling in the right direction for me last night. Saw lots of things I’d never had before and I play it a lot!

Like this for example.... I had hoped for a bigger win though:

15F9CD92-8966-44D4-BD6C-423C002E25B4.webp


£57 (x285)

Then this cheered me up (yes a similar multiplier but double the stake within 15 mins) x302

03EC5BCE-768F-4B31-B814-FE694BC29BC5.webp


Then the champion of bonus rounds appeared:

X960 (i’d Just dropped stake from 80p to 20p)

9F2CB496-3487-4328-8BEC-A9EF0E5EA049.webp


I’ve never had this many free spins in the bonus round before. Shame I couldn’t get the multiplier any higher:

71321486-B243-4FAF-8450-B443BF9F0FBB.webp


Ended up withdrawing £250. Half of which I’ve given back to bonanza tonight lol x x
 
102 free spin bonus on Bonanza and 81x multiplier :oops:

Not mine, found on YouTube!



Shows exactly why thousands and thousands of people suffer hard on this slot.
Just for 1 lucky punk to hit big. :p


EDIT: Never mind,went to watch it full screen on Youtube and then I saw it was free mode and added cheats...Was already thinking this game could never retrigger that often? :p

Ah BTG is still around...
Sir,can you please tell me how it is possible to design a game where I have spun maybe around 5000 spins at one and the same casino on Bonanza and it would not trigger a single free spins round, knowing that most of them will not pay big anyway.
I play online since around 2006 and never ever came across a game like this where it was so damn hard to trigger the bonus feature.
I am not asking you any top secret information but this game has wrecked my head and as a seasoned player I cannot get my head around this slot.

I know the slot is insanely high volatile but is it so hard to make the slot trigger the free spins a bit more often?
At least it gives me the feeling that I have some fun for my money.

This is only the second time I tilted on a game so if that is what BTG wants to achieve when making their games, then you beat me hands down.

The first time I ever tilted was on a game from Wazdan on Energy Casino, 7k spins and no free spins. After that I just quit playing their games.
Now, because I also had a few nice wins on other BTG slots like DHV and White Rabbit I just wonder what makes Bonanza so different.

What would be the average amount of spins required to trigger the free spins.
As all slots have an average to trigger them.
I have played numerous sessions and bets between 60c and 2 Euro, no FS on any of the betsizes.
Most money I lost on Bonanza luckily came from wins from other slots, but let's say I wasted 3 or maybe 4000 euro in possible cashouts as I was trying to get some kind of a decent hit on this game.

It would be really appreciated if you give me some kind of an answer, it would be greatly appreciated. :-)
 
Just completed all trophy's on this at videoslots,got a free $10 battle ticket.....
Man that took a long time and very very expensive

Geez, now that would seriously piss me off, a "fist thru the screen" moment if ever there was one.

Rewards should be FS or bonus related not battle tickets. Knowing the amount of spins we have to do and the virtually impossible missions (EG: Win 750 times in 1 day) really unfair and IMO have no value.

Up against players who deposit just for battles etc or medium rollers who can re-buy galore, there is little point.

Strange they've kind of got some right and then this, For example DoA and CFTBL have fair rewards but this just takes the piss IMO.

I'll get back into bed now and jump out the other side :rolleyes:

I won 90 pound of my free 10 ticket so not all bad
 
....I know the slot is insanely high volatile ...

The Slot isn't high variance at all IMPO - Just behaves that way. Its BTG's own crap version of ripping players off.

It just has a shitty pay table that BTG blew hot air trying to promote and hype up. It is literally impossible to score a massive win on Bonanza or probably the same chance as a progressive hit or winning the lottery. Still waiting to see a hit bigger than 10 000 x since the phantom 14000x hit.

I do not play this slot anymore - Never had as many bad sessions and losses as I had with BTG. The thing is, players wont learn until they burn their bankroll out completely... By the time you actually manage to hit over 1000x, you might just find you are in the hole for twice or 3 times that much - maybe even 5 times as much.

See some of the tests run on this slot and ask yourself how it is possible to lose 2500 Eur on MINIMUM Bets (0.20c) without even coming close to a recovery - Actually a full on bust out? I think the tests actually went about 13000x or 14000x in LOSSES before the first 1000x was scored.

For every one person that wins 100x there are probably another 200 that lose 100x. The slot behaves very AWP like and I honestly do NOT trust BTG nor do I trust their pay tables.

If people are happy to lose 100x or 200x to chase 300x on their 20th feature... then this slot is for them. Its a pathetic piece of junk IMPO - Cleverly designed with one thing in mind - Fleece the player.

You need the special 110% RTP affiliate version, I always win on that one. Since a well documented purple patch on this slot (videos here) I have been remorselessly battered by the game. I also got a 7-scatter trigger with a similar result to the one just before this post and 37 spins for that shit 18x and 100x win would've seen me reach for the razor blades afterwards. I have now given up BTG for a month, to reassess whether I want to play the games again. I think I am starting to see through the smoke and mirrors like Nate and Lockinlove here....

Cheers bud, appreciate your reply..Makes totally sense..
Maybe I should just quit playing this piece of crap, stop chasing that elusive big win looming on the horizon.. LOL
Whatever it is, I am sure it is not for me.

The thing that occurs to me with BTG's slot and paytable design is they're running the risk of burning players out completely. We all accept that the casino has a generous house edge when we're playing slots, and over time we (presumably!) accept that we're going to lose overall, but we expect to be entertained along the way, with reasonable playtime for our deposits and a sensible distribution of wins (even on higher variance slots) that give us some payback whilst we're playing - and of course that opportunity to make nice cashouts from time to time.

By all accounts BTG are making bank on their slot design for the time being, but my personal feeling is that when the BTG dust settles a lot of folks may well have just turned their backs on slots completely, and then there'll be less depositing players to go round for all providers, not just BTG.

People only have so much patience and so much money to lose, exhaust both and a player can easily become an ex-player.

Vote with your wallets people, if you don't like this stuff, stop giving them your money.
 
I can attribute my withdrawal from all things slot- related and monthly penance to Bonanza for the past month. Like everyone else I got sucked right into that chasm of doom and would chase it endlessly....

Of course now with the fog cleared I can really see it for what it is - and it ain't pretty :eek2:

I'd say I got maybe five times less gameplay and ten times less wins than on any other slot I've ever played, easily. I've had three wildlines on DOA within the last month for example, and probably ten times more 'value for money' than anything Bonanza has ever churned out.

Even on other games I'd be thinking why my balance is still intact after hours. Bonanza's skinned me alive so often so ferociously that I almost lost perspective of how slots ought to play :D

And the bonus, though still tickling the ivories, is too predictable in its harshness and kind of becoming old hat. Just seeing the 100+ spin 'debug' session the other day showed it up for how lacklustre it really is, even with mesmerizing multipliers galore.

Now I await my solitary May deposit and cannot wait not to hand BTG another penny from it. It's Byenanza baby:D:cool:
 
To summarise, Rigged :D

Backed right off BTG since they re-banned me at Caddell (stood a chance with a bonus, straight cash no chance!)

Ironic that at the same time, I cannot hit jack shite on ANY slot, get to the stage where I've almost banished my foil-wear forever and along comes another conspiracy theory.

For one, I'd love to expose BTG but I'll leave that to someone else as I don't fancy ending up in an acid barrel.

Have to agree with Chopley that I feel in time, their slots will kill off a lot of players for good :(

I think all these high volatile slots will kill people off. It leaves a person feeling its near impossible to win where they have to go though 50-100 bonuses per slot to get one decent win. Much like thunderkick slots. It made me feel winded and discouraged and I barely play slots anymore. Not even 10% of what I used to. It feels completely senseless. My screenshots used to be littered through the winning screenshot thread ..now I havent really posted in them in what 6 months?

Bonanza, dragon born, danger, the falcon huntress, pink elephants, flamebusters etc are just a few examples of slots that are completely exhausting where you need to dump buy in after buy in and get dozens and dozens of 10x bonuses to finally get one that pays. Its exhausting and boring to the point when a bonus drops in its usually followed by an eyeroll instead of a fistpump.

These companies have and are ruining the industry imo.

Well said!

Yes indeed, You hit my personal nail on the head right there, used to have a positive little "routine" when the feature landed, fist pump, "get in", little side shuffle to name a few, now as you say, regular roll of the eyes along with "more piss take", "what's the point" etc etc, you get the picture lol :o

Thing is also which pisses me off is that for players like me who stay pretty much in control, it leaves us little in the way of budget and continual micro deposits which yes, 5 years ago I could make em last days, nowadays unless I'm stuck on DoA at 0.09, then Its usually bust within an hour (and that's a good day!)

No value, no entertainment, no excitement, no point!

Blown off hot air a few times "Fuck this shit, this is my last deposit ever" but getting closer by the day to actually seriously meaning it :(

"Player enjoyment and retention or greed??" Said the fat controller, Hmm let me think about this one :rolleyes:
 
I've had two 'good' sessions on this in all the times I dared play it, where I've sat down and solely played Bonanza and nothing else. Just the two sessions that I can recall. One was probably halfway through this thread where it showed what it was capable of, starting from small means, £10 to £400 type stuff.

So about one 1000x bonus (not that great in retrospect, given how much I'd ploughed into it prior) and maybe a handful of 500xs.

As for the losing lessions and lamentations, I don't think there's enough words to describe those :mad::eek:
 
It’s the air of anticipation that’s gone for me. When I was a smoker years ago I used to take the laptop into the kitchen, light the fag in the reasonably assumed hope of a great hit when the bonus came.

Now I just click start and go ‘here we go, more shite on a 3 quid stake’.

It was only last week that I was playing one game going ‘listen pal, just either pay me good or take it off me’ - for the first time in ages, or ever, a slotting session felt like a arduous task.
 
Well just had my first ago at Hot chilli.

30 in and 90 out why i ask.............Well its because im not greedy.

At 20p a spin id rather be 60 in profit than play 1/2 pound a spin and chase a sum thats seen once in a blue moon then end up 100-200 down.

FWIW my take is its not these slots thats killing it. its the increase in streamers showing there large wins that changes the mindset of those watching.

You watch and see the big wins and all set yourself for your slice of the action, many forget the 10 of thousends they lose while waiting for the big stream. Until ppl start to go back to basics and realise playing is for fun and not for profit then there wont be much hope of entertainment/A good slot.

Its aint the slots that need to change its us

I agree but we're only going on said streamers and BTG's lies of unlimited win potential etc. Not forgetting this slot is still fairly new and most are trying to determine fully what it's capable of.

Most are realizing what a smoke & mirrors gimmick it really is, at great cost though....

And thats where my Opinion is different. as this was my first on Hot ill refer more back to Bonanza. I like most have run endless spins without anything to jump about but the difference is when i do i run. seems most win then up the stakes to feed greed and forget the fun. I had many dead deposits on here but in 4 months have still come out 2.5k up as i will not sacrifice fun for greed. only 2 weeks ago i hit x2666 bonus out it (1060) and still carried on after at 40p a spin. so many ppl would up to 1/2/5 a spin and lose it.

The opinion of that rare winner with good luck will always be different than those who are running normal or below. What you claim about your wins on bonanza are super rare and proof of that is all through out this thread over thousands of posts.

Most people play the same as you. the difference is they are unlucky and you got lucky.
