New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[myke35]

No one's impressed first time. It's crap the first few sessions, but then it grips you.

Half of us don't even know why we play it

So true. It's like it gets in your head pretty quickly & then you become illogically enslaved

 

[sufferinsilence]

Did anywone play the Millionaire ?

Yes, regularly and bonuses quite frequently yet I have only 1 win over 200x recorded. It seems it has less reactions in the bonus than Bonanza does, you really need those 50 spins to get to a decent multiplier, and even then it can :xxx: as some video evidence proves.

 

[goatwack]

As mentioned, when I dabbled in Bonanza the other day, I did in fact get the multiplier up to 18x I forgot to say.

I also had the rarity of two retriggers.

I could have been forgiven for thinking "This is it. Brace yourself" but funnily enough those top symbols and Megaways-laden screens seemed to go bye bye. I scraped a few 3 OAKs together here and there and that was it, for a pretty unspectacular total amount.

But fear not, there's always next time

In about 4000 spins time you'll have another bonus

Isn’t it vile when it throws out GOL on your last spin

 

[nutnut]

games dreadful just GOL

 

[Luckyscouser45]

games dreadful just GOL

I’ve noticed that Friday and today the pattern is gol. I only put £15 in today to see how it was playing glad didn’t deposit anymore! How can a game be “random” when this one goes in cycles of obvious patterns? I literally had gol gol gol gol gol Friday and today and most people on this thread so how is it random? I sound like a loony but could btg manipulate this slot weekly without our knowing? Or is it more complicated than that, I have no clue of the inner workings of slots just wondering if they could do that. Also noticed that on paddy power it’s well tighter since it’s come back managed to get my £10 free for Monday cos wagered £250 (well more) I probably will have no luck on that neither

 

[pinnit2014]

So that's a no for me depositing?

Keep me informed?

 

[goatwack]

So the Golden Hour's been debunked then?

 

[pinnit2014]

Unclear if it was ever bunked: maybe there was confusion over midnight bonking

 

[sufferinsilence]

It was doing ok this morning but maybe I'm slightly biased

 

[Jono777]

What disturbs me is all of us clued up folk have not taken the hints BTG have thrown us from the start

GO, GO, GO, GO - no brainer really

There is no doubt at all that there are days the bonus will come in (and your 95% certain it’s going to) and days when it won’t and 95% of the time you know it isn’t going to and if you force it through sheer number of spins it’s a guaranteed horror return.

Is it random? Of course not in the true sense of the word. When I first joined the forum I was a little naive in my understanding of how slots work but I have always stated you’re not on a level playing field everyday.

What I have learnt since is that I was right all along in that aspect but because of the shady things we know about (and there will be other things we don’t know) somehow this qualifies as random.

The main thing we know is that using multiple reel sets is permissible. Just how deep this runs we don’t know. It’s a definite that the 117,649 uses different reel strips because there are hardly any scatters on them.

If you think about it logically and they were truly random you would have sessions that were totally unpredictable. Losing one minute, big hit the next, you would literally be all over the place if you plotted your sessions on a graph.

This never happens though sessions are totally predictable you either hit from the start or you make deposit after deposit knowing what’s going to happen.

When I play I actually analyse what’s going on and there is no doubt the games play with a compensated feel (not just Bonanza) any game.

Regarding rtp. As far as I am concerned it’s a convenient myth. There isn’t a cat in hells chance a game as complicated as Bonanza would run even close to rtp given all the permutations possible regardless of how many spins you played.

Something as simple as flipping a coin (which only has 2 outcomes) a million times could give you a fair variance on 50/50. Therefore a game which has millions of outcomes would have astronomical variables.

UNLESS OF COURSE IT WAS CONTROLLED.

I dunno man.. I cant find any of that in the review i made.
You saying my review is not up to snuff?

No man your review was cool. Your defining and acknowledgement of the waterwheel was something us lesser mortals had overlooked believing it not not be that significant.

However now you have brought it to my attention I will be more vigilant (can’t believe I have allowed myself to lapse in this manner).

 

[myke35]

Did anyone see the new Bonanza where you can buy the bonus for 100x?






Just kidding

 

[Luckyscouser45]

And another thing whilst I’m in rant mode I’m sick of this slot not paying out for obvious wins When it’s obviously a win it doesn’t register the maths is all f.... up on this slot a few too many times it’s happened and sure another woman on this thread posted hers

I've never witnessed this first hand. Does this happen randomly too? Or just when there's a game crash or disconnect?

 

[goatwack]

It does pay out the wins for me without fail, downside being there aren't many wins

What i do now, after the discovery of the waterwheel, is that i start up bonanza in demo-mode and set it on auto.
Then i start up finn and the swirley spin in another window, and align them so that i can see the waterwheel.
Then just mute finn, and i get the best of two worlds. Relaxing music, amazing waterwheel, and a game that, lets be honest, probably is the best paying slot ever created.

 

[pinnit2014]

Sorry Bonanza but a 200 x after 500 quid of deposits and 3000 or whatever spins, on a 17 isn’t cutting it. Plus side was it was looking like a 5x as first 9, yes 9, were dead.

 

[sufferinsilence]

3000 might be the amount of spins without a bonus when I decided to take my break. Then I got a bonus this morning which went for 30x, and only a few spins later the 202x rolled in.

Had one of these +5's a few hours ago too... 70 odd x, mostly 3oak's and a couple of dead spins Atleast it didn't take that much spins to get it and didn't eat today's sportsbet winning

I'm also thinking about going down in stakes, I've been pretty disciplined staying at €1 for a while now and basically repaired my bankroll from when I went a bit over the top a couple of months ago. It's just that I'm so used to spinning Bonanza on €1 it feels "wrong" doing it on 20 or 40c while I happily click down to those amounts on any other game that's of a similar volatility. Perhaps a bit of a longer Bonanza break is required!

 

[mcgameboy]

Well folks...after the giddy heights of my "Godmode Week" in late July, I stayed away from it for a full week before returning to it last Saturday.

And was promptly chinned for a £300 loss.

Never mind. Next day, a small profit. £150 in , £200 out.
Then on Wednesday, a good day. £200 in , £525 out.
Total for August up to that point : £650 in, £725 out.

So I was holding steady...until Friday night/Saturday morning.

Absolute crap. £350 down the tubes on £1 spins and only 1 bonus to show for it, which paid around 60x.

Base game was hot garbage. Best win: 20x (I kid you not).

Number of times I had GOL with a cascade to come: 2! Well at least my "heartstopper conversion rate" of 50% sounds good.

I was probably "due" a sobering night of Bonanza. I sure as hell got it. And tbh, it was probably a good thing.

Haven't played it tonight....yet.

Have to agree with snorky though, who made a great point. Discipline is vital when playing this game.
Once you fall into that "reload trap" (yeah, I am GUILTY as charged on that one...sometimes), it can get extremely messy and it will happen quick.
Next thing you know, you've spunked away a week's worth of net gains in a couple of hours.

Long time listener, first time caller - could've been better, but I'll take 230x early on a Sunday morning!

 

[myke35]

You troll Bonanza.

I wonder how much it would have cost to keep re-spinning the wheel without a diamond under the Book of Oz model? A huge amount I imagine...

Amazing how its always "RANDOMLY" the 2nd reel which lets us down with this setup

 

[snorky510238]

Yeah spot on mate I was thinking the same myself. It’s the same as that Napoleon. 9/10 it’s the second reel missing for 5oak soldiers and the other time it’s reel 1 so you never win anything.

While we are in the what a load of bollox mode, has anybody managed to get to 20 spins on millionaire since the first week of release?

 

[Luckyscouser45]

I can’t explain very well sorry, but what I mean is when there should be a cascade win but it only pays for the first win say there are blatant 10s lined up you don’t get the win sorry if that doesn’t make sense

 

[Reelsoffun]

yes few times......cant remember what they paid but nothing great......

I have never achieved it! 16 is my best. I don’t gamble every time though.

There is no 10 cascading in? It happens very often there's such a nice screen waiting and the symbol needed doesn't even cascade in after 3 wins, especially in the bonus...

It happens when you get disconnected. It say recovering game but what it doesn’t do is recover it as it was. It knows the total you were going to win and it plays out some until that total is reached. Once that happens it doesn’t allow any more reactions even if you have a win. Which is what happened here on Chilli.

Is that’s not technically stealing? :-/

 

[snorky510238]

It’s bad programming essentially. The game doesn’t seem able to reconnect to exactly where you left off. Although in the bonus round it does.

If the original had played out properly I would of won £1.08 so I still got the right amount just not with the same display. Which as I said won’t give you any more reactions once the total, which the game already knows is reached.

 

[sufferinsilence]

So it was like I first thought, the crash/disconnect issue. Yeah, it's weird they still didn't address this because other providers don't have this issue as far as I know.

 

[goatwack]

Bonanza's such a skank. For a while it played like Fortuna herself granted me extraordinary luck on the bastard, from £20 I went to £80-odd thanks to a flurry of ludicrous base hits!

Like one being when I was down to about £10 originally, and thinking "Well this is going to be a quick bust". Then along comes a £52 base game hit from nowhere and out came the 40p big gun bets

What err happened after is less cool. About 30 GOL-trolls and one whole bonus - when I dropped back to 20p.

But it was ok, it restored my balance soon enough........by adding £2 to it

This game I tell ya

 

[snorky510238]

No I think it’s unique to Btg but given that Chilli has disconnected for ever I don’t think they will address it now. Pity because it’s bloody annoying .
