Just once I would like to hit the average, this is really getting out of hand, cant remember the last time I even got near to x 100 on this and I am playing it every day.

The problem you're going to run up against is how rare the feature is on Bonanza, it's almost impossible to overstate how batshit crazy a 1/460 feature frequency is, this is in a world where somewhere between 1/150 and 1/200 is pretty much accepted as the 'correct number'.
It's just going to grind you out against that 76% RTP in the base game, and even if you achieve AVERAGE feature frequency you're only getting a result out of the 'bonus round bag of balls' (as it were) once every 1/460 spins, which you need to reach 96% RTP. Catch those bonus round results on a bit of a bad run (and we all know what shitters Bonanza can throw at you) and you're in a world of pain that can easily last for tens of thousands of spins (and then some.....).
@dunover gave a nice concise summary of the absolutely pernicious maths model that BTG have come up with here, it's quite a way back in this thread somewhere (I'll see if I can find it) and it still absolutely holds true.
I honestly and truly do not understand why people keep bashing their head against this slot, I mean, I'm not averse to setting myself a goal on a slot and then grinding away at it, but Bonanza seems to me like the worst possible option when it comes to head versus brick wall.
MANDATORY 3DICE MENTION - 3Dice have a monthly achievement called 'PATIENCE', if any of their videoslots goes more than 500 spins without a feature, you get literal free money on a 1xWR to take some of the sting out of it, they give you 'sympathy money' for a feature drought that Bonanza considers very close to expected average results.
I've done 45K spins at 3Dice this month (plus more on their classic slots, which don't count in this number). My worst result is 614 spins without a feature and they gave me £25 for that.
There are still loads of slots out there to choose from that have far more sensible maths models than Bonanza
I just logged into my account over at VS, they still seem to have Taxi Movida on their books, is that still available to UK facing players? 98.27% RTP and an infinitely saner maths model than Bonanza.
