New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
I want royalties if you're using quotes from my Bonanza videos.

Yeah, thats only fair i guess.
Suprisingly tho, the book is not selling as well as one would expect.

Plus i got a bunch of anygry moms after me who bought the book for their kids thinking it was some sort of "learn the alphabet" book.
 
I have never known so many dead spins in bonus rounds. Sadly this game has definitely been dropped down a notch.

TBH online gaming is fast becoming a waste of time and money. Like they say when the fun stops, stop. I am still waiting for it start.

Four bonuses and still couldn’t get my starting balance back. What chance have you got?

More books please.
 
Well, I haven't done too bad for tonight's golden half hour 01:00-01:30 BST (00:00-00:30 UTC/GMT).
I usually only get one reasonable win and two miserable ones. (not worth posting screenshots of)
But tonight was one reasonable - 84x, one miserable - 23x and one exceptional (by bonanza standards) - 246x

Must remember tomorrow night, that it's back to midnight. Now the clocks have changed back to GMT :thumbsup:

Have you been playing every day since summer during that timeframe?

Not every day. just a couple of times a week. But often get 2 or 3 bonuses.
I did mention to Nutnut a while ago, that he originally discovered his golden hour around midnight, back in jan or feb.
But then our clocks went forward at the end of march.
Server clocks don't change, they run on UTC, which is the same as GMT, which meant that Nutnut's 'golden hour then fell around 1am.
Which is what i've been following during BST

on the plus side at least you are getting bonuses I’ve had 3 bonuses on this in about a month a half since my £350 win it just absolutely rinses me in a session I now do only a few spins and run cos it’s so obvious what this slot is about :-(
 
Reminds me of the old flash Immortal Romance - ended with 13 or so 4 reel wild desires but near the end you could sense the upcoming doom. Bonus frequency going to 400/500, no withdrawals and the general air of despondency with the game. 3 years, aside from DOA, appears to be the max shelf life.
 
Just ridiculous now, not even just Bozanza I played Epic Ape other day had x1 and retrigger bonus which paid x7

As for Bonanza a session is either a small deposit strung out for 800 spins and no bonus or quick bonus that doesn't even muster the same as your deposit. Just boring and not fun anymore, I don't care to lose but in old days I'd get odd fun play time and decent withdrawal now it's just burning cash.

Can't help feel like a complete mug depositing daily even if small deposits knowing whats ahead.
 
I am totally done with this game.

Timing out my remaining accounts. No play time, no fum time...what's the point

You can't give up now, the coffers are full - Bonanza's relying on the elasticity of it's trousers to stop all that GOLD coming out at the end of the month.
 
The day Nutnut quits Bonanza there'll be a worldwide minute's silence

Not to mention it being one of those historic 'What were you doing when Nut quit?' a la JFK and the like

Still plenty of room.. Dont underestimate the elasticity of Bonanzas pants.

Bonanza has been cold for me for about 2-3 months. I am also done with the game.
The bonuses I was able to muster were all like the pictures below.

Seriously ANY other slot does better than Bonanza for me.

But it's all random we just happen to ALL be getting bummed at same time. I mean thats how random works right?
 
This slot is the best Megaways by far but it’s responsible for spawning a new generation of slot hideousness in terms of bonus triggering and payouts.

When I first played online 11 years ago my deposits were pretty similar to today £20-£30. The choice of slots were limited to a few hundred and only a few good suppliers existed Cypto’s IGT and MG. The slots were basic 9-30 liners with RNG that ran in the millions. My average bet size was £0.80 -£1.20 and it lasted, I had good sessions and bad and thats pretty much why I got hooked in online slots, it was fair.

5-6 years ago MG, Netent and Playtech were arguably the big 3 providers and they produced some great in-house slots and most people played these. The 243 ways arrived with more complex bonuses and they could rinse your balance but they paid in the 1000x bet pretty often the RNG were probably in the tens of millions. My average bet was lower £0.40 -£0.60 and I had good weeks and bad weeks.

Recently since the creation of Megaways and similar clones, slots now have trillions of combinations. Blueprint, Red tiger and BTG are the big players now.
Bonus trigger averages have quadrupled, so unless you trigger a bonus within 100 you are pretty much fighting a losing battle.
The market is saturated with games and there is less money going into individual slots so less coming out.

My average bet size now is £0.10 to £0.20.
Playing a slot on the lowest possible stake is no guarantee of playtime anymore either. The past 7 days Ive lost £500 in playing an average bet size of £0.10 to £0.20,it’s ridiculous. I’ve never trebled my balance in around 30 deposits.

The arse has been ripped right out of online slots.
The new games are in trillions to one of winning anything substantial (500x), the older slots don’t play the same as the numbers of spins going through them are a lot less.

Im really struggling to find anything in the thousands upon thousands of slots available to play and nuking my online gambling with Gamstop is becoming a viable option as the entertainment and fun has gone.
 
I couldn’t agree more it’s become a complete farce. I have also lost around £500 in 5 days, low rolling 20-40p. Not one decent hit at 6 casinos and around 20 different games.

Bonus rounds are a rarity and even when I hit one I am lucky if it pays over x20. The past 3 months something feels badly wrong. The variance on every game I play feels different. I have also had enough, it’s just not entertainment anymore.

I don’t mind losing as long as it seems fair. This is anything but fair, it actually feels more like being systematically robbed blind. I have always stated it’s bent but I could live with that as long as I won some of the time but now it feels like the screw has been turned so tight that winning is impossible.

God knows how much some people are losing. I actually dread to think but it has got to be ruining thousands of lives that is for sure.
 
I really would like to see the stats for people signing up to Gamstop at the moment and how fast that number is increasing. I can see a change in the law coming aswell regarding the stakes allowed.

They can’t cap FOBTS and then ignore £100+ a spin games online. It just shows there has been nobody out there properly governing what goes on. If there was stakes like that wouldn’t have been allowed in the first place.
 
Fucking disgrace today this game for me today.

Got an offer to wager £200 to get £50 CASH no wagering needed on the £50.

Went on 60p with a £60 deposit.

Incredibly that bust out after 170 spins. Amazingly I even hit a feature within that. Yeah 10 dead spins for 1.8X.

Deposited another £20 so £80 in. Ripped that Instantly. So blatantly on its arse it’s unreal. Biggest win of that £80 was 4X

Another £25 into finally clear the £200 run through and it cost me £103!!

Knew i should have left it but stupidly decided to carry on. The free £50 waxed in less than 150 spins.

Another £200 in still on 60p to get a feature. 11 pissing sodding X.

Fuck you Bonanza you vile piece of shit.

Nothing worse when you keep depositing when it’s in a mood like that nothing in the world will change it till it’s ready to be nice again

I was not expecting to read that....not from you anyway. I'm rather shocked tbh, because I had you down as a fairly disciplined player.
One can only assume that you're running so badly....that your entertainment value must be somewhere around 0.5 out of 10.

But I have to be honest. I don't want to tell you how much I have lost this month.
When I actually stopped and checked, I was horrified. Not to mention being utterly disgusted with myself.
To the extent that I am actually wondering...."have I now got a gambling problem?"
Or is it a combination of three problems,namely....
1. a temporary, but longer than usual spell of sustained bad luck
2. a temporary, but also very severe loss of discipline.
3. having too much funds (I ran particularly well in both July and August, which swelled my gambling kitty to record high levels)
readily available, which can potentially enable "problematic chasing".

Either way.....it's got me slightly rattled and has given me massive food for thought.
I still have some funds left in my gambling kitty, but if the rough spell continues and my kitty is soon empty,
then I will have no hesitation in doing a total shutdown of slotting for the rest of the year. And possibly beyond.
There's no chance in hell I am topping it up.

And the thing is....I can't even blame it on Bonanza. Because it has accounted for a fairly small percentage of those losses.

I've had the exact same issue @mcgameboy , ran so great over the summer and then September and October have been brutal. Until last night that is, all of a sudden I had a huge kickback. The really bad spell in September made me question too what I was doing, so much even I didn't play that much this month and most of my play wasn't even a little entertaining. I probably started out a little too confident in September, as you often do after a big win but I soon saw it only went downhill even when I was more hesitant in deposits and betsizes.

If you stop when your gambling kitty is empty, don't dip into other funds and wait until you have "entertainment" money again to gamble I don't think you have a problem. Problematic chasing, as you call it, is when you do that or dip into your savings or even worse go into debt to chase your savings back. Well, imo :)
