New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[thr0b]

Whilst on the subject of the rep did we ever find out who won the car??

Dave Tesla.

 

[nutnut]

need to thank pinnit. been chasing the bonus for a week, had odd one which is x6 and x12 usual shite.

but those bunch of bonuses sum up why this game is a scam. x400 with x26 absolute dog shite but it's so programmed to cap itself it's ridiculous.

anyway thanking you for making me see sense and not depositing.

thankfully my new job has found my love for sports gambling back, as this slot business is one massive pisstake.

anyone reading this who has never played bonanza before DO NOT PLAY., it is not the same game since its release day.

hundreds of bonuses at x5 to x50 and that rate one at x500 we all chasing. absolute mug how much it's taken off people in the past.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Well after waiting an age for a feature and a rediculous amount of deposits for fuck all I finally hit a few features last week. One decent one of about 400x and the usual mix of tripe to around about 100x

Anyway a small profit was had and a couple of withdrawals. All small stake stuff as it’s just far to risky playing on anything above 60p

Then came yesterday.......

Had about £12 left from my football bets so went to bonanza on 20p.

Obv nothing from that in fact I barely got a win at all. Clearly (if that’s possible from a random game) absolutely on its arse. We’ve all seen it haven’t we?

Stupidly I deposited another score. More of the same. By now (stupidly) I wanted a feature.

Another £20 then another and another..

So nearly a ton in and still it strips relentlessly offering nothing and barely an L let alone a D. Base still on it’s arse offering nothing more than about 8x

Sticking on 20p I soldier on.

Ended up with £200 of deposits and still no feature on 20p!!!!!

This is the 4th time since December this has happened to me. By that I mean 1000x Stake in deposits for no feature.

We’ve all recycled that much loads of times in credits of course we have.

In that £200 on 20p not a single base game hit registering a tune (25x or more) and a massive total of 4 cascade attempts!!

Yet stupidly after that first £12 or so on 20p I knew it was coming as I have done on so many occasions when playing this game. When it’s dead it’s just dead! Which of course shouldn’t be the case. You don’t get prolonged dead spells as such on random games do you? By prolonged I dont mean a couple of hundred spins!! Im talking thousands of spins without it ever deviating from its completely fucked spell.

It seems now there is no in between. Gone are the days where you can turnover your money with or without features.

Again thank god I didn’t punt on higher stakes. I’ll probably have another go today only because I feel I’m due ‘something’ unfortunately you never are on random games are you?

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Ok so I’ve just had another crack.

£50 deposited on 20p

Features - 0
Cascade Chances - 3
Best Base Hit - £4

I truly want to thank BTG for sending me that £4 win. It’s my biggest hit from £250 worth of deposits on 20p stake over 2 sessions.

 

[interlog]

So I did a Bonanza -v- Diamond Mine stream today. £100 into each of the slots at £0.20 a spin.

I will let the result below speak for itself.

Bonanza - best game made evar!!!

I would of defended that statement for a number of reasons a year ago.

But I can’t now.

 

[nutnut]

For anyone interested captainspins is new casino offering 100% bonus on first 4 deposits. Its from the trusted whg group.

Anyway so i signed up

Hit total of 14 bonus

X17 spins paid x12 and x80
Other 12 bonuses ranged from x1 to x35

Didnt get a single withdrawal. This game needs to be reported. The free spins on book of dead had two bonuses that paid x120 and x150 ish.

This game and BGT need to be reported. 1 bonus in hundreds if not thousands spit's out a x200. It's a dam scam and those bonuses are a piss take

 

[pinnit2014]

14 though, dry your eyes

Most other games that’d be a grand withdrawal

Possibly not DOA

[pinnit2014]

Got up to x7 multi or summat on first spin and then deaded me

Pfft

 

[nutnut]

pinnit you been at it as long as me and 99 bonuses out of 100 will die on its arse.

yesterday the 17 spin trigger got to x26 multi with about 7 left and they all produced fuck all and over all bonus for x26 multi was x80 lol another bonus I got to x8 after 2 spins then followed 9 dead spins and 1 spin that paid x5.

it is capped to fuck, if you unlucky enough to have x10 multi early on whether 1 or 10 spi s left you are fucked.

I agree!

Thing is, i don't know where all the RTP is. DOA etc gives shite bonus rounds 999/1000 but it still produces monsters, so where is the RTP?

Time to call in Sherlock

Or the Fraud Squad.

 

[paul7388]

Worked it out.

No other way to explain it except the slot must be full of subliminal messages.

How else can it be explained. Literally thousands of slots some which have been proven to pay very well and often.

Yet every week, month, year now the same people are saying how crap this slot is. How it never pays. How they cannot bonus. Yet they keep pouring money into it somehow trying to prove themselves wrong.

Must be something that keeps you all going back and wasting so much money on that impossible dream of actually winning on Bonanza.

 

[dunover]

If you guys have been watching my recent Bonanza videos, well you think you've got it bad....

 

[goatwack]

Bonanza's bonuses seem to average around 100x as of late, or at least here in the last couple of pages.

*Which incidentally is a higher average than your average slot

 

[pinnit2014]

To be fair, when i left it, it was averaging 40x so it's circa back to 100x, which is quite the achievement.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

If you guys have been watching my recent Bonanza videos, well you think you've got it bad....

I’ve had it worse than your current spell 4 times in the last month mate.

You don’t know what bad is on this game if your record for a bonus is about 2300 spins!!

 

[dunover]

Waited 1500 spins, got a 5-scatter trigger eventually, paid 38x. I almost smashed the room up. The next 4 features came over 2100 spins, 18x, 48x, 31x and 28x. A grand gone over a week at 60p to 1.00s stakes.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

It seems nearly everybody is getting ripped.

Ive watched all ur vids, like you I’m
Beginning to wonder if it’s actually worth it anymore?

1 cash out from every 10/15 and zero entertainment is not my idea of value!

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I could accept it more if the odd monster came out.

A monster on bonanza is 500x

Even playing as much as we do one of those comes along a couple of times of year.

I’d say Stream Tower would give you more over that amount of spins!!

 

[nutnut]

another 2 bonuses.

x8 x17

this is the issue if someone is hitting x5000 or x10000 once in a while i could accept the shitness chasing the big one. but the big one on this slot is x500 or very rare x1000 which given how much it rinses us all daily the RTP can not be working out right.

it really does need investigating.

 

[nutnut]

3rd bonus in 100 spins. UTTER SHIT x22

got to x9 with 5 spins left all last 5 dead. one thing i notice is amount of missing 1 red gems in bonus rounds. i get at least 1 or 2 every bonus round where you just "miss" out.

 

[mcgameboy]

You don’t know what bad is on this game if your record for a bonus is about 2300 spins!!

Trust me, I do know (and so do a lot of others who post regularly in this thread).

And I say that knowing I can't match your 2300 spins (my worst is somewhere between 1900 and 2000 spins).
But I do know what it's like to...

Go a full two hours without either a bonus or a base game win of 25x.
Go 3 hours and 58 minutes without a bonus.
Suffer a net loss of £212 on 40p bets without seeing a bonus.
Bustout on 4 consecutive deposits without seeing a bonus OR a 20x base game win.

And believe me, at that point, I just had to give up. I just couldn't take it anymore.

And not only that (this alludes to the point that snorky regularly makes on this thread), my confidence was that shot to pieces that I strongly felt that if I were to continue reloading/redepositing, I would only get....

More of the same. More losses, more barren spells of play, more frustration, more anger,
more likely to do something that would force me into an unplanned trip to PC World or Argos.

A lot of people here know (going by my screenies posts alone) I am usually a patient grinder.
But this......"effing game" presses buttons I didn't even know I had.
It has the power to turn me into a human kettle.

And all those things that I mentioned above? They all happened a year and a half ago, at a time when people here were still proclaiming it to be "the best slot ever made".

Don't get me wrong, I've had some great times on Bonanza.
But it has NEVER been my favourite slot, not even during those spells when I ran good on it.
Simply because NO slot that makes a player wait (on average) over 450 spins for one bonus should EVER be deemed worthy of such lofty praise. Especially when that bonus can still go for under 10x.

I don't care that Bonanza has a "more generous base game" than most with it's supposed/alleged 71% RTP (or whatever it actually is). You can have a base game that pays 99% for all I care, because if you get no bonuses, you are fucked with a capital F.

It's only my opinion, but Bonanza isn't even the best BTG slot, let alone the GOAT.
I'd have no problem at all putting DHV and Queen of Riches ahead of it.

3 months I went thru complete and utter shite runs thinking it would turn yet it never did I’ve stopped playing it now 3 weeks,reading your posts just confirm that it’s a piece of crap.
This game is one of the top played games in the U.K. apparently and if that’s the case it must be sucking Millions weekly going by how we are all getting hammered.
It’s not gambling it’s theft....

 

[Bloatgoat]

it really does need investigating.

And then what? It's doing what its bin programmed todo, and more and more different versions are appearing. Simply put the demand for altered or less volatile paying games has bin honored by B T G.

What needs investigation is casino's changing games or changing RTP's without notice.

 

[nutnut]

piss take gets worse. 4th bonus massive x2

 

[goatwack]

By the time BTG ever get found out, or rather IF, they'd have not only proverbially laughed all the way to the bank, but bought the bloody bank

Let's just chalk it off as a massive 'L' in our records and accept this game is a mutant hybrid of Ponzi scheme & scratchcard

 

[pinnit2014]

piss take gets worse. 4th bonus massive x2

That’s grim.

I find you have a good idea after the second or third spin if it’s going to be ok; slow and clunky, with no more than 1000 MWs normally spells death

Odd how it can run Sky Vegas smooth for the base game and then suddenly develop William Hill esque lag come the bonus ;-)

Let's be honest tho that these Blueprint games can be equally dead as Bonanza... I've had my fair share of spins on Diamond Mine and it can be as brutal!

 

[pinnit2014]

another 2 bonuses.

x8 x17

You’re now the bonanza bonus King

Please accept the Crown

Or, poisoned chalice as it’s known in some countries

 

[dunover]

Another £200 today at £1 spins, lasted 480 spins, got no features biggest win 21x. That's £500 lost at 60p-£1 stakes since the last video #5 of 2020 on my channel. So £1,200 since I cashed out that £351 in the first 2020 Bonanza video. I'm seriously wondering now - there seems to be repeated sequences of 10-15 spins with one small micro-win and the base game isn't lasting long enough to grind the spins out for the bonus.

Iv went more spins without a bonus on DM than Bonanza. And thats, obviously, a lot.

I know the Bonus takes a hammering but the drop in the base game has been one of the biggest differences of recent sessions. Maybe the bonus frequency has stayed the same but the a lack of base game action meaning that 2 deposits for the bonus has now become 6 etc.

I remember clearing 3 wagering on Bonanza without a bonus; can’t see that happening anytime again soon; lucky to wager twice

 

[goatwack]

Seems the base game's been bonkled, which renders the game pointless if that's the case.

Given how the bonuses are more of a bonus these days

Tbf my reply was to Dazzas comment when he said about his recent videos.

I stated before I was amazed his record for a bonus was a meagre 2300 odd spins.

I still find that astonishing given how much he’s played the game.

I guess it all depends on how we run on certain games but I’d never put DHV over bonanza even after my terrible 6 months run on it. DHV has never done fuck all for me in around about 350,000 spins. Highest bonus is around the 400x mark.

 

[SteveBr]

I’ve still got several pages to go in order to catch up, this thread is monstrous!

I just wanted to say however, for me the game has changed, massively so.

I’ve had multiple bonuses on it since December - the vast majority of them over 100x. I’ve only had one crap bonus and only a couple under 100x. The base game has been kind too, so much so that it has pushed the overall all time RTP back to a more respectable 100.13%. Last months RTP was 112% and this month’s is 110% so far. The games are random of that there can be no doubt. If they’d gimped the game for it to play shit, my play would be shit too. No doubt I will have some crappy sessions on it, but for now I’m just happy to smash and grab on it.

I’ve never had any luck in danger either with a similar amount of spins. Thats in both bonus’s and the base.

Couldnt agree more young Pinnit.

If you’re not turning over in the base game you are fucked on a game that can and will take several thousand spins to bonus.

 

[snorky510238]

This is where the Bonanza mechanics are smart because of the continual cascading and the amount of wins up to x10 in the base, it creates the illusion that it’s playing well and you’re winning.

Like I stated elsewhere do not be fooled by this rtp crap. It’s just a figurehead for providers to hide behind. It sounds great but it means bugger all.

A slot with a rtp of 96%, great surely I have a good chance of winning. WRONG! Hypothetically let’s take the most extreme end of how to rig that slot to ensure it does what it says on the label with no liability. Simply programme it so a player playing £1 per spin wins 96p back each spin. There you have it 96% rtp but you can never get ahead.

Most slots are based on minimal deviance of this format hence all the 0.5 wins. That’s why you never see huge wins on Quickspin games because they keep the parameters extremely narrow.

Take the new Esqueleto explosivo as an example. I played the original a few times (don’t ask why because I don’t know) it slams you in the face as being one of the most obviously compensated games there is. Hit x5 followed by 6 losing spins, hit x8 followed by 9 losing spins etc, etc. (I like Thunderkick games in general but the base games all have this annoying trait unfortunately).

So when a sequel comes out that has the same rtp (I am assuming somewhere near) how is it going to be any better? All it can do is be tighter in the base and pay more in the bonus. There are only so many ways to cut the cake.

 

[greylady]

Well I am nearing 2 years since my last decent win on this slot

Take heed folks!

 

[Bloatgoat]

I said it nummerous times here on this forum, being boo'd at, that RTP/RNG is all genuine and shit, but slowly more and more users know feeling the financial pain themself. RTP means nothing. You can have 98% online and still be paid jack shit. At least with landbased if you pick the right slots that is, you can walk away with profit. We gamble for having a shot at making profit. We dont gamble for pure entertainment purposes. I might as well just hit demo play if i wanted to be entertained.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Finally a GOLD!!

 

[Speedy38]

The only way to win on bonanza is to not play it!

 

[Playford7]

Finally a GOLD!!

Superb those! Will have to grab some tomorrow, forgot they existed!

Mindboggle: The RTP / volatility of Bonanza is changed to favor newer games like monopoly.

At the end of the day it's the provider and the provider can tank older games for no obvious reason.
