New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

I went over 9,000 spins once, on the same site, over a couple of days. Losses were dampened by several 50% deposit bonuses otherwise i wouldn't have stuck with it. The stats are buried somewhere in this thread.

It normally makes up for it with a flurry of quick bonuses (by bonanza's terms :laugh:) so you might get 3 or 4 in 500 spins once it hits.

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me at all with it being over 9000 spins. Gotta have some endurance and patience to go through that long of a wait for the D to drop!

It's mathematically possible but certainly a massive outlier, I wouldn't expect it to ever happen to @TheSchwad again in his Bonanza career :)

From memory I once got into the ~2500 spin space for a feature on Bonanza (that'll be documented somewhere in this thread, I'll have a dig for it) and that was as unpleasant as you'd expect as the feature wasn't anything great when it arrived as I recall. However I haven't even played the game that much really in the grand scheme of things, and at a bit more than 5x the average amount of spins required for a feature, falls more into the 'unlucky but not that unusual' category.

This is the problem with Bonanza, with a 1/460 feature frequency, if you play it for any significant amount of time, it's going to chuck a ~3000 spins for a 45x feature shitfest at you.

TBH this has been my line with it all along, if you look back to the very start of this thread, there were people having the horror show results that some folks were simply lucky enough to avoid, and then when it inevitably happened to them at some point, insisted the game had been gimped!

IIRC in nine years of playing it, only went past 3k spins once to get feature, 1000-2000 was quite common though. 9k, I am finding trouble with.

It CAN do it - 17 spins triggered off of a max-ways spin, take a look: 🤢 🤢

Mind you, it's the Fools' version.


As you note though, not actual Bonanza :) I guess they've got different reel sets for the max Megaways on that iteration. (This is a completely different set to the ones Snorky gets, bless him.)

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it's certainly well outside any deviation from expected results I've ever seen.

3Dice have a personal monthly tracker for a few different things, one of those is for the 'Patience' achievement and that tracks the highest number of spins seen to trigger a feature. I always take a look at it every month's end to see which game has been the biggest shit to me, I've never seen one hit 21x the average, not even close, and I've done many millions of real money game rounds at 3Dice over the years.

3Dice don't have anything even close to the stupidly low feature frequency of Bonanza, I think they max out at around 1/190 or thereabouts.

From memory I've seen 1200-1300 spins a few times over the years on their harshest games.

This is the chart this month, for example.

What’s it actually done? I can see it’s triggered 16 spins off of a maxways. On the original I hit GOLD a few times on maxways, that was never a debate. Apart from people noticing that you never hit it on the Sky version. Then that was miraculously fixed.

I haven’t gambled a penny since the day I said I was quitting and I am amazed just how easy it was. Only once, when I was a bit bored and the weather was shite, did the thought come into my head, but the devil on my shoulder can’t win anymore. I’ve blown him into oblivion.

I think it’s that old adage, you have to hit rock bottom before you wake up and do something about it. Part of my problem was, I didn’t value the money enough. My situation in life, plus a very good salary, etc, means that I have a lot of disposable income so losing the money didn’t bother me.

It was the nature of how I was losing it that bothered me. I hate being ripped off in life and the playing field seemed to be becoming more uneven, year by year.

Hope you’re all doing well and remember……If you think your being shafted by a prize winning aubergine, it’s because you are.

QUIT TODAY. I can’t recommend it highly enough.:thumbsup:

Fair play snorky, for my money you stuck with it past the point of sanity but far better to see the correct answer eventually, than never at all.

I got a kicking from hell on the arsehole machines in the pub here a few weeks ago, £300 gone in 24 minutes, it was the wake-up call I needed to swear off them forever, rather than the slow war of attrition they were winning otherwise - so I don't have any particular room to talk :D

Like you it wasn't a money thing so much as just deciding I wasn't going to the have the piss taken out of me anymore.

Anyway, hats off, you made the right call.

The kicking from hell??

You lost 150x ffs!!!!
 
Opened up bonanza on betfred last night, did 5 spins and on the 5th spins it dropped all the ways and the feature cascaded in aswell on the same spin.

Glad all the ways actually paid as the feature didnt, and was it's usual dead spins and fuck all return.

Such a overhyped piece of shit this game. Was great at release but these days plays like shit! Like most games!

Now i remember why i stopped playing it!!!

I still think it's odd that some 'versions' of the bloody game don't show any scatters on max ways.

Put 300 or so spins thru it myself last night after my DoA win. No Gold, one cascade chance, biggest win 25x

Back to DoA for 5 scatters this time. :p
Exactly, The usual experience of the game, Hours of headaches and bangs for fuck all, or a shit feature most of the time.

I just find way more other games have a much more achievable and reliable bonus that doesnt take a miracle for it to even land!

Like you say D.O.A And D.O.A 2 both games that play better for me also, unlike bonanza.

I still love Bonanza and have played the game for years and years, And never seen wins like i have on other games in way less time.

Lets put it this way :
Chance of getting a mega huge win on bonanza is about the same chance as getting 4 wild's on a wild desire feature on immortal romance. imo

Its happens but its just Its just never happening type of wins! :laugh:

If you guys know what i mean.

you are lucky you got 200x the other night on sky vegas i had gold + 2 +5 spins at £2 guess what it paid ? only 75x i nearly wrecked my laptop,it was shocking
 
Usual filth fest from those ‘lottery’ odds of getting a feature with that many spins.

Much rather BTG built in a scripted max win of say 5,000x or something like pragmatic do.

This unlimited ‘potential’ as a result of the way the bonus rounds work simply never produces enough. Lil devil aside.

Endless shitters with pretty much a 1k - 2k top end. Make them far worse an attraction than other games and of course sometimes hours to trigger.
 
Well its been 3 to 4 years since i had a massive win on my favourite game.loads of kings on x16
Paddy Power been offering up my personal version again? 🤢

I had a session about 7 or 8 years back which I put up on YT where I got the mental kings for around 2.5k x if I remember rightly.

Very rare event, congrats!
 
No idea what happened, started the bonus and went to kitchen for a Pepsi and came back to a win of £864 clocking up on a 12 x multiplier.
4369.75x !!!!!!!!!

I am green.

742x MORE than my best in 8 years+

Has to have involved red gems I reckon. On 10x multi they are 75x per way 6OAK so maybe 56 ways at 10x multi the spin before the last one in the screenie. Would have awarded the bulk of the final total.

Think the win was around 840 and maybe on the x 10 multiplier - I was pretty much in a state of shock as I had been expecting the normal x 20 or x 30 bonus and when i came back and saw it climbing over the 300 mark screaming out epic win i just stared at it.

Who leaves the room when a Bonanza feature starts? The game that can famously make you wait upward of 3000 spins for one?

And Bonanza has a really good feature too, fun to watch.
 
Hey guys, long time gambler, long time viewer of the forums and first time signing up to finally chime in on some of the bs to! :D

Biggest scam slot on the planet lol

It’s been nerfed to the absolute fucking ground now days

I’m currently 1300 spins in and the haven’t had a single sniff of a cascade gold bonus

Not a single fucking hit

Got a base hit of around £70 from a £1 bet the rest of the bets have been between 0.60 and 0.80 per spin and not a single bonus

This rng and rtp myth bs has to stop lol


EDIT - I didnt think this went through yet as i was awaiting approval!

Im averaging between 0.60 - £2 spins and im telling you, I blame Dazza that fkr!

Became slightly addicted to your Bonanza runs from years back to current Xmas ones and honestly.....i dunno how you do it brother!

Absolute love your content/vids, biggest howl ive had in a while from watching any slot vids - and i became slightly envious of your runs on this slot so thought fk it, ill give it a whack......wish i fkn didnt now.

This slot couldnt hit sand if it fell of a camel....

Ive lost so much hair from this slot i no longer have a forehead i have a fivehead.

long time viewer and the desire to unleash a Bonanza rant on page 880 of the Bonanza rants thread is what compelled you to sign up. Fair one. :D
And honestly i even questioned myself - but tbh, ive followed you guys for years and always tried my best to just stay an "outsider" viewer just as not to over compel myself to get more attached to anything "slot related", but figured you know what......fk it - might aswell join the champs!


Again - I blame Dazza!
 
Do be aware that with its 1/460 feature frequency, Bonanza will sometimes want 3000+ spins for a feature that could cheerfully pay 10x when it finally lands.

The debate has been done to death in this thread but me, and quite a few others, are very much of the opinion that Bonanza - (in its 96% guise at least) - is the same game it was back on Page 1 of this thread.

I take it you've not noticed that since one good session in summer when I spawned a good hit on a high stake, I have been routinely battered ever since?
