New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Took about 20 spins for the bonus to come in, not the best of wins but topped the balance up.

Last post Nov 5th! Can only assume it got thrown on the fire, where it belongs.

Just for Chopley, this one. Of course, we know what his reply will be. I can see it already. “You’ve been unlucky Snorks”.

Virtually a year and 76,000 spins to fall 2.69% below expected rtp. What a surprise it’s at Mr Vegas. The Casino I always said were creaming off the top.

Chopley's reply is 'I wouldn't play 76,000 spins on a slot at a casino I thought were cheating me and running dodgy games'.

Although from my last stats at 3Dice which I got in October, these two entries are present

Squirrel Pike 173929 93.30%
Enchanted Spins 155546 93.40%


So I've got Enchanted Spins 2% below RTP after 155,546 spins, and Squirrel Pike 1.6% below after 173,929 spins.

Also at that time my Dice Fusion stats were:

Dice Fusion Prog 50356 91.60%

So that's 3.5% under RTP after 50,356 spins. (I've done loads more spins on that since then, now well over 100K and it's evened out, although I don't have my latest stats for it.)

Anyway, yes, your Bonanza stats at Mr Vegas looks entirely feasible to me :)

Interestingly, as an aside, Enchanted Spins gets two entries, before and after 3Dice added the sitewide progressive a few years ago, my pre-sitewide progressive stats on the game are this:

Enchanted Spins 82052 98.50%

So that puts me at 3.1% above RTP after 82,052 spins. Variance is a thing, I guess 🤓

Or Bonanza is bent and/or Mr Vegas is bent - whatever makes you happy old chap. Have a mince pie or something.

I wouldn’t expect to be so far away, with a slot that boasts 75% rtp in the base game though tbh. Variance, high volatility, random….etc. They all fall under one category, aka bollox.

Yeah but even the base game on Bonanza can chuck in rare monster wins, we've seen evidence enough of that here at CM.

Bonanza does have a very 'churny' basegame but ultimately that's working against you, because the end result is always going to be that you'll eventually lose all your money on any game with an RTP of less than 100%, we've talked before in this thread, at length, about what a pernicious maths model BTG have created for Bonanza with the really wonky way it does things.

(I remember @dunover gave a solid summary of it at one point.)

Having a basegame that rarely pokes its head above 50x, that also accounts for a lot of RTP, is a pretty solid way to design a slot that often delivers decent playtime, but also makes sure it takes all your money off you in a rather devious fashion.

Add in the stupid 1/460 feature frequency that when it's dropping in below expected frequency and/or underpaying and hey, there's Bonanza, the slot that'll dick you off for a very, very long time!

This past week I have started off twice on Bonanza on 40p spins attempting Dunover's stratagy of upping the anti after impoving my balance after a good win. The last time about 4 days ago I got up to £2 spins but lost 30% of what I gained but I didn't take a screen shot. Tonight I started with £50 on 40p spins and got up to this on £1.00 spins but feck turning it up to £2.00 tonight. I am off to play elsewhere on reasonable spins knowing I can slot another day.
No £5/10 quid spins for me :)
And I have tried this mutiple times and lost bad

Yes, but I would revert back to original stake if/when I lost the gains made on previous original stake.
 
U also have to be a spawny cunt to get ahead and then raise in the first place, let alone winning again once you’ve raised.

Whatever tactics you employ on this game there will always be horrific dead spells and bonus droughts waiting to fuck you over.

How the fuck Dazza went 3 years and multiple ‘series’ without losing is beyond me and against the maths of the slot over that period of time.

If it was that easy then we’d all be on the clue earning fortunes. So I revert you back to the opening paragraph.

He was either that or selectively uploading videos. Because you can run well for short periods but not for that long. The maths simply don’t allow it.
 
The programme has been changed, it’s as simple as that. Conline gambling has become a farce. Disgusting, cheating, filthy providers, scamming their way to making a fortune. It seriously needs looking into but of course, nothing will ever be done about it. In the same way nothing was ever done about FOBT’s until their hand was forced.
 
Well I am currently £300 down on 40/60p spins and all I’ve had so far is 3 cascade chances and 1 win just over 25x.

But this is nothing unusual to me on the game. Seen it many times. 5 yrs ago I was raging that this just didn’t seem to be happening to anybody else, while I was seeing it weekly.

It’s fucking infuriating seeing money vanish for no value what so ever. But the game has been doing it for years.

The last month or so slots have been kind to me. But I know there is 1000x loss just waiting round the corner to trigger a shit feature, to take it all back and more.

But this has been the pattern for me for years.

I have another £200 to try after what’s left of my £300 vanishes. But I can’t see it featuring. Just getting an L is somewhat of a miracle right now.
 
I had loads of L’s last night dropping them like smarties, but only managed to find a D once for a crappy 36x

It’s always played like you describe for me too, even when people were hitting 1000x all the time. In the many years I have played this slot I can count on one hand how many 1000x wins I have had, still like the game though, just don’t camp out on it when it’s playing shit, which is most the time lol
 
As with the above, I can’t see a real change in the play over the last 5 years.
For me it’s always been very hit or miss, this weekend has proved that again as I’ve had around 2500 spins in Bet365 with one bonus of x 150.
No massive wins and probably about £250 down but I’ve supplemented that by having decent wins from Other games that have managed to keep me in front.
I think all Bonanza players are the same we always tell ourselves the next bonus is the big one but it never transpires.
 
Well that £300 loss on a 50p average stake was expected. 600x loss approx with no feature and a massive 4 cascade chances. So thanks for that!!!

Stats below at exactly 60% RTP. It never looked like it was going to do a fucking thing and it didn’t!!!

In fact the stats actually slightly worse than screen shot as the returns contain the results from the £25 bonus I get every Monday morning!!

Still at least I had fun…….
