Standard bonanza these days mate
Gotta wholeheartedly agree with this.
Yesterday, 11 deposits of £100 playing £1 stake, got seven bonuses in total, which wasn't too bad, close to the circa 500 spin bonus frequency. Just a shame the base game was savage at all sites. So didn't get many spins out of 1100x stake or any playtime.
Worst was at Unitbet where 100x stake lasted 11 min 57 seconds. Most playtime was 28 minutes for 100x stake, only because this involved a 102.5x bonus. Otherwise it was all the way to bust town. Other six bonuses across the deposits were all sub 20x.
Now much has been said in this thread, about bonus frequency, sub par bonuses, neither of these have I ever had a problem with.
A game with a bonus frequency of 1/500 is gonna go on 2000 spins droughts and still pay less than 10x. However, this was all good as the base gave loads of playtime, and so got value for money.
Where had the great wagering/churning Bonanza gone? There are many who will say the game hasn't been changed, but why was it always the 'go to' game to wager through a bonus in first few years of release, yet now I get more change from a 100x deposit on a game (and playtime) like Zeus vs Hades (which is Exteme Volaility) than I do on Bonanza? At least on ZvH I can guarantee a 1000x hit every 4-5000spins.
Another noticeable difference from the game of old, was how many L's it now delivers, literally every 40 spins or so. Very rarely with a win so no tease.
Think that it's for me on Bonanza, I'm not one for conspiracies but for all this games faults; takes forever to bonus, wins vanish with high multipliers, poor 5 scatter bonuses, etc; it had the unwritten agreement that your deposit would churn well and you'd get some (often frustrating) playtime. But not anymore.
Naturally yesterday was an exteme example for me; I would never normally do this many repeat deposits: and can afford to so haven't put myself in any trouble, just have extreme frustration and disbelief. And honestly can't remember in the past few years when it did churn well.
