New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

The Nextgen pauses are bloody annoying..you know for sure if the next cascade is a win or not.

MGS versions don't seem to do this in my experience, they drop in straight away without hanging.

Another day, same principle.

200 in. Managed to get the balance up to 300 so upped the stake to 4 euro. Just about to drop back to 200 meaning a drop back to 2 euro when the feature hit.

It won't be too long now, I guess, until this slot takes its revenge :cool:


Obviously there's no 'method' or strategy for random* ahem! slots but after 6 years of play on the bastard the 100x bet-withdraw at double is the nearest I've come to maximizing play time and limiting losses, even winning a bit sometimes. Glad to see it's working for you, you're on a good run and the stakes and play method you are using remind me of my incredible 4 weeks on it at Casumo once, where I was at one point nearly 13k euros ahead. It did however collapse after that and IIRC rapidly took about 7k back over the next month, so I'd suggest if you get to the point about 10k up to leave it, don't make the mistake I did and think your luck will go on and on. Enjoy it while it lasts!
 
Ok, so I don't quite know what's going on with Bonanza and me...not that I'm complaining. So after hitting the 7412x last week, I was having a quick play after work yesterday, usual £100 in, £1 spins...hit a 50x win and then the feature dropped. Paid 641x. So...doing a Dazza...decided to up it to £4 a spin. 3rd spin hit an all-the-ways with a screen full of rubies, followed by another load of cascades. I'm not complaining at the result...but a green on reel 1 would have finished it off nicely!

Far too many people on the clue now!!

When the next upgrade comes out we are all fucked!!
Not going all tin foil hat...but after those two hits I did another £100 on Leo and £100 on Casimba. Leo gave fuck all except 1 bonus for 9.5x. Casimba didn't even bother with the lube.
 
Thankfully not.

I throw winnings at it now and again but that’s it.

I’ve not made a deposit using my own money to play it since I said I wouldn’t.

I’ve had big hits off Pragmatics, push and hacksaw which I’ve devoted time to it from, which tbf produced the expected ups and downs, but after I hit nearly 2 bag off chaos crew I went to it on 60p with £500.

You won’t be surprised to hear I didn’t hit a single feature. The 2 wins of 27x and 45x in the base game I managed to achieve must have set the feature back.

Over 800x stake without a feature wasn’t exactly unheard of for me. The luckboxes never experience such things.
 
Ok, so update....I'm giving it a break! The last two days since that win I've done 5 x£100 deposits. One bonus for 10x, a multitude of dead spins, very little teases, distinct lack of diamond and megaways spins....it's like a switch has been flipped. I did one lot of £100 in 12 minutes last night. Time to find another....!
 
Don't post here that often but thought as some are, I'll drop an update in also.

Approaching 8K spins now with just one £7.xx bonus on 0.40p and 77 failed Cascade chances.

Money lost is nothing in comparison to those stats thankfully (although I'd never let it get to that stage anyway) but 77 failed 'D' tries has to be some record right there.*

*Not individual - counting each chance if there is a small win to try again in the same spin.
 
If you’ve had 77 failed cascade chances in 8000 spins then ur getting a cascade chance every 104 spins which I just can’t believe. Not possible these days to achieve that.

Oh including other cascades within that first chance???? Just re-read your post. Mmmmm slightly more believable.

However I can believe that you have had 1 feature in 8000 spins.

How are you counting these tho without auto play?? And which site are you playing at?

If it’s Hills then thank yourself lucky for that monster feature!!!

What is the loss from those 8,000 spins???

They are rough but close enough figures.

I have this horrible OCD countdown habit of playing games whilst counting down from 100, then seeing (again roughly) how much I won/lost.

I did (now destroyed) have a tally chart to see how long I'd gone bonus to bonus which gave me this rough idea.

I am knackered most of the time so there maybe some miscounting in there, but as I say not too much of an error in my figures.

Another thing, the way your post is worded and presented comes across as very skeptical and slightly confrontational, nothing personal but I don't really care whether you believe me or not, was just joining in on the posting subject last night.,
 
Not intentional, as I said I re-read your post and noticed you said the cascade chances included wins for another chance which made more sense.

The game seems determined not to even let you have a cascade chance these days, often going 30-45 mins per chance which is of course way more than every 80 spins or so. That’s what I meant by that.

You never answered what the loss was over that amount of spins? Was the base kind enough?

I'd say over multiple sessions, I've lost about £250 - £300 on a mixture of 20p and 40p bets - again rough figures and when I say multiple sessions, talking double figures as I only go to Bonanza if 1) I win on other games first so ahead anyway or 2) VS rewards pay well so really I am playing with "their" money from the start. Also this is more likely month's rather than days/weeks as you know I am a piss pot low roller with a tiny budget for slotting.

I made a post a couple of pages or so back (can't be bothered to see exactly where) about a session recently where it did hold the balance really, really well for the 1st time in ages, bit like when it first came out, during which think I had a few 50x wins and a couple of 100x. Think this sesh showed no Gold also.

Agreed that GOL with no cascade chance is becoming more and more common, Dazzas videos don't help as he seems to have a box full of D's stored above his reel set, thankfully that awful "L Counting" has not rubbed off on me :p
 
That’s not to bad financially then but still a shocking amount of X times stake for just one feature. Unfortunately I’ve had worse on many occasions but then I played it to death.

I was very stat obsessed with bonanza after a few months of playing it. Was actually quite annoyed I lost a load of them I kept from about 2 years of play. Tragic I know.

But now it just gets attacked with winnings or freebies like you’ve said, the best way of playing it now imo.

Not any more I don't, have seen ONE fucking D in last FOUR sessions totalling approx 2,500 spins. And it paid 6.4 pissing x. :mad:
 
I got Hot Mode on Happy Holidays on £1.80 stake (815x) last night but have £5,600 wagering to complete, so although I would usually wager on Poseiden Fortunes Megaways, essentailly a clone of Bonanza, but I'm gonna give Bonanza a chance as haven't played it for a while, and hope to get the Bonanza of old. Gonna try the Dazza method starting on £1.

Abort!, Abort!

Well, that was horrific, I stopped after circa 400 spins it was an annihilation. Started on £1 and after about 250 spins I thought it had to turn for the better, but just continued to 'fist' me. So gave up. Can anyone work out the RTP I was getting? I started with about 600 spins already tracked and RTP of 65%, with a further 400ish spins I have an RTP of 43%, so must've been getting sub 30% for the 400 spins. A very small sample I know but jesus christ.

Was watching the balance like a hawk expectingthe site to be cheating me taking 3 times my stake it was dropping so quickly. No way wold i get through the wagering sticking on this game. I'd get more play time out of a Hacksaw or NoLimit.

If my maths is correct - after 600 spins you would have been £210 down at 65%. The fact you finished £586.91 down after 1034 spins means you were minus £376.91 in 434 spins which is an RTP of 13.15%.

I had a little play on Bonanza today. Only 50 spins but got an RTP of 90.8%. I've only been recording my personal figures on it for a little while but after 650 spins I've had two features and my current RTP is 127.34%.
I know it won't last.

Surely can't have been as low as 13%, nothing can be that bad. Don't think I explained properly, the 600 spins were from another session, so at the start of today my RTP for this site was 65% but in just 400 spins it dropped to 43% so really bad but quite hard to work out, as not sure what my previous session loss on it was and SlotTracker shows loss in Euros, when I was playing in Pound sterling (not sure how it does the variable exchange rate).

To be fair to Bonanza every game I've tried to wager on has played bloody awful, so maybe just a bad day. Went back to it and it perked up slightly, even threw in 3 bonuses in about 700 spins (61x, 62x, & 31x), but the base game still played bloody awful and lost over £300 on £1 stake in that 700 spins time even with the 3 bonuses.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) not for me in the UK, have tried the buys on the BTG website though, playing demo, but not sure I trust it's a true representation. Every game seems to play amazingly well, nothing like when playing for real. Even Bonanza plays like it did 4 years ago and every game bonuses easily. It starts you with 1000 and playing £1 stake my balance is up to 8k after playing a few games. Thought demo and real had to be the same, though it's not a casino so can put whatever version they want up there.

Try playing the demo exclusively using bogus buys.

Do it for an hour a day.

Report back in December and tell me how many 1000x - plus bonuses you saw.

A clue - I have had the game for 4-5 months now in my BTG a/c and have put some serious hours through it while working, and have seen THREE of which all were in the low like 1000-1200x, nothing higher.

I haven't seen a real-play one for nearly 20 months.

So hits like Interlog had are very rare. In fact, it's now become an AWP so won't be ready to 'streak' again until 100x his big wins has been lost into it across all sites....:laugh::laugh:

whats Bonus RTP on Bonanza? I ask one time Nick from @BTG he sad under 20% RTP, is that standard all time you get bonus? or is random?
one more think, will new bonanza will make any difference on play time on original bonanza or both run under same server?
 
What he would have meant is something like 19% RTP is bonus wins and base hits would be the other 77% base hits etc

In other words if you add up all the bonus wins together it would equate to 19% of the total contribution of wins paid back to the player

as I know BTG Bonus RTP is under 20% on their game, now I am not sure 19% or 5% but it is under 20%
 
TBH under 20% seems a bit on the lower side, but if that's what he said then its more than likely true, its pretty easy to calculate your own real stats if you can be bothered, most slots i have had anything to do with have had in the region of 25-35% with the rest left to the base game. But its all about the type of game and volatility etc....

If you have too much RTP allocated to bonus rounds it makes for a pretty dire base game, like most HV monsters of late lol

You would need to know your start balance, total wagers, total feature wins end balance etc

I did have a speadsheet somewhere that did it all just by putting in a few details.

Yet for the last 18 months through ur different series u up on the game????

How???

Doesn’t matter how or what strategy you play a 96% RTP game over a year and a half it’s pretty much impossible to come out ahead??

Is it not????????

Yet somehow you have managed it.

A few sessions yes. You can get ahead. But over all that time you are ahead??

Not just a DOA2 style (10,000x +)hit to see you through the stars which bonanza isn’t capable of. But somehow you’ve managed it?

I just don’t get it.
 
playing BTG on past most of there games, Danger lost about £25k all in £2 to £5 stake never hit big Danger or Bonanza, I may get like £2000 win this week but for next 3 weeks I may lose £4000 without wining much, my best win in all BTG was The final countdown about 5000x last year, I see all BTG games dangers games to play on long run, I may stick with DOA2 maybe I hit like 10,000x or 20,000x witch I dont real have much chance hit 10,000x on bonanza
 
Did rather well on the nags today and yesterday.

Stupidly went back to hills as surely it was ‘due’

Jesus Christ it’s a fucking disgrace.

Around about 2,500x stake now for just 2 features. Not one single base game hit that warranted a tune(25x or more)

I’m thinking I’m on some kind of Billy Hills black list, diverted to some kind of fucked up server.

Normally I’d get the bit between my teeth and carry on but even I can’t stomach another deposit.
