New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[lukey141]

Gone over quiet in here the last few days. What happened to the other fellow Bonanza nutjobs?

I've still been spinning now and then but not had anything to really shout about. I did manage to unlock video slots battles for another month the other day literally breaking even to £1 after 1010 spins so that was pretty nice.

Been hammering away for what seems like hours this evening I think I've had 7 or 8 bonuses and the average X is probably around 45-50. It's been pretty painful. Thankfully base game has been fairly decent so I wasn't down horrendously. This was my last one before calling it for the night and thankfully got a bonus and a very flavourful 420 win.

Biggest hit was 3 wilds at the back that connected a bunch, feels like the 2/3 wilds at the back most often is a nasty bait that doesn't connect so a big relief when I saw it made it all the way.

 

[thediro]

Not gonna lie, got bored of it now.

Pulled in another 4-5 GOLD's over a £200 deposit....

Best hit was this...

Didnt even bother taking screenies of the other bonuses cause they were dreadful.

And honestly, its boring now lol.

Trying some new slots, which honestly, there pretty shoddy to.

The sad thing is, that bonus there on a 0.20p - Earned more than the other bonuses i got, and the other ones were on a 0.60p and 0.80p stake.

You're not suggesting that Bonanza is fiscally compensated are you?

 

[thediro]

You're not suggesting that Bonanza is fiscally compensated are you?

Have you seen my bonuses?

I mean to a degree you arent wrong, im paying them a service to test there "low payout" bonus's!

I give them money, they give my bonuses with a *dribble* of the money back, its a cooperation thing!

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Got only my 2nd ever 1st press bonus on this earlier. Which considering how many 1st presses I’ve had over the years is piss poor!!

I’m sure you can all guess….. Amazing.

 

[thediro]

Another meh

I honestly feel like BTG games react differently when it comes to the "stake"....

I honestly need to start upping the stake and seeing if i get better luck on the £1 - £2 spins, i know itll rattle through the balance quicker, but fk it, bet big win big!

This may be me being full of crap, but I have noticed that some stakes just play "better" some days. I can rattle through 500 spins on 0.40 and barely hit anything and then switch to 0.60 and do the same and it's noticeably better - it seems noticeable enough that you can usually tell if a stake is going to be "good" within 50 or so spins.

Given that we know the game has dynamic reels and that the RTP% only has to meet an average percentage across all stakes, this doesn't seem (to me) to be outside the realms of possibility.

And honestly this is my theory too.

And i get it, everyone has there tinfoil hat theories but BTG in general just somehow seems to play differently according to the stake and i did the same thing as you.

My typical is 0.40p spins and after a while you can almost *feel* the way the spins are gonna play out but ill then switch up to 0.80 spins and say do like 25 spins on that & the play feels completely different.

You can almost see the difference in "Symbol connects" - the reels seem and feel different, it just plays.....different, i know again *Tin foil hat* bs, but its just a gut feeling.

Also from constantly binge watching Dazzas videos and seeing him do his £1 spins, hit wins, switch up to £2 spins, then he goes in with his £10 spins - every single time he does, the reels and spins become to more much unpredictable and you tend to watch him climb his balance from £200 - sometimes well up above £600+ just from base hit playing and manipulating his stake spins.

So im figure fk it, think ill do the same just as a theory test, go in with £50 and just rattle 50 spins at £1 and just see how it plays out, i know its not enough spins to base any kinda of proper result, but its just a personal thing id like to try and feel for myself.

I wouldn't recommend raising stake unless you are prepared to bust and when you do, if it's not playing well set a target to return to the original lower stake. I don't know if you recall one session I was ashamed to upload (but did obviously) where I built up to over 3k then on £20 spins it totally turned on me, wiped me out in 30-odd minutes. Awful feeling afterwards.

Brother, im not gonna lie, i think i may have even commented on that video and its the ONE time, i actually felt ashamed of you lmao

I was screaming at the screen "NOOO DONT DO ITTT!"

But you know what bro - literally the very next day, i done the exact same thing after watching you do it and to this day i referred to it as "My Dazza Day" even my wife, (Shes slots a lil to) - shes always watching me giving me that eye and she will even say "You doing a Dazza again?"... Meaning - "Are you burning through your WINNINGS!".

But you know what man - Learning experience, I won £490 and i proceeded to absolute blaze through every single bit of it to the point i was left in total despair with that pounding gloom of regret and it was a constant reminder of what "not" to do.

Chasing losses is one thing, chasing wins is another type of stupidity, but we all been there lol.

I suppose at the end of the day - What makes us good slotters is the ability to accept that what we go in with has a 90% chance to never be what we leave with, so long as you dont go out of control then fk it.

OMFG is this ridiculously LONG-ASSED THREAD STILL ALIVE?

Do people ACTUALLY STILL PLAY this piece of slotting HOT GARBAGE? With ACTUAL REAL MONEY?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELVES?!?!?!

Stone the bloody crows.....give me strength......jesus wept etc etc etc

Listen - If you got anything else of recommendations that can be as lucrative as this, im alllllllll ears!

Just dont suggest DOA - or Hacksaw, or Elk for that matter

I like Temple Tumble Megaways and Fire In The Hole 2/3 as well, can give 100x base game hits and the bonuses can be good too.

I will warn you though, both of them if they're not hitting will absolutely incinerate a balance - 20 dead spins in a row is not exactly unknown on any of these.

Fire in the hole 3 is my SHIT - played the hell out of it, why? Because its got the best fkn music ever lol.

Temple Tumble 1 and 2 also played them, Relax gaming isnt a BAD provider at all - actually quite like them, however, never have i ever quite had the same over all gameplay as i would with BTG, and this isnt just "bonanza", but BTG as a whole.

Example.... I like "play time" over "Quick possible win" playstyle.

£30 deposit, 0.40p spins

If i do this on Tumble Temple or Fire in the hole, im getting 10-20min playtime

Do the same with BTG - im getting an hour minimum just because again BTG has such a favourable churn of there base game, were as the other providers you are relying on that bonus dropping.

But extremely good recommendations i agree!

Whenever I go back to other providers my balance just gets annihilated with little to nothing to show for it. Added to that most UKGC websites have them at 94% or lower while BTG games and Bonanza specifically is currently still 96% on those same sites. It's also very good for wagering or unlocking battles for Video Slots/Mr Vegas

 

[kg2025]

Your thoughts on this , I know its nearly a 100x win, but I got an extra 5 spins in free spins . So altogether id 22 free spins and I was pretty pissed off with the win ..... I think im done with this game , previous bonus paid 8x . It'd put you off playing slots .

Yes it’s on the lower side, but not terrible, there has been way lower wins posted for a 22 spin

 

[mcgameboy]

I wouldn't

DOA was never really my friend, despite getting six 1,000x wins on it over several years.
Just required too much grind (I guess it's a bit like Bonanza in that regard) for me to stick with it.
As for DOA 2, yeah the potential is there, but I all too often found myself choosing Train Heist just to get a satisfactory playtime bang for my buck.

Hacksaw? I agree 1,000%. I HATE that provider, probably more than any other.

Dead or A Wild - unbonusable garbage
Mayan Stackways - unbonusable garbage
Beast Below - looks great, but it is.....unbonusable garbage

The only games I "vaguely liked" were Chaos Crew 1 and 2.
And even then....they are so way down my slotting pecking order that I barely look at them.

Elk? Hmm....I do the odd punt on Illogicool, but again, another game that can be really tough to bonus.

God almighty, I'm almost convincing myself to give Bonanza a try .
I need someone to talk some sense into me as a matter of urgency.

I would be very frustrated by that result.

BUT.....

There has been FAR WORSE than that when it comes to Bonanza "extra scatter" bonus round triggers.
Many of which have been posted on this very thread *

* Not suggesting you should try finding them btw. You only get one life on this earth after all.

I'm sure someone here (probably @dunover) could unearth some absolutely vile examples.
One springs to mind...an EIGHT scatter trigger that might not even have cracked 300x by someone with a YT channel (bigwinvideos)

I get it mate. Truly I do. And I would concede that Bonanza had been good to me in years gone by.

But ultimately, I could never really shake off the idea that I was playing a game with an average feature triggering frequency of 1 in 460 spins. The base game, whilst capable of doing good, even great things, just "didn't do it for me" enough. I just seemed to find my patience being stretched a little too far, too often. And believe me, I can do grinding (I play Lil Devil A LOT on small stakes).

Also, when comparing that frequency to other favourites I had such as IR, TS2 and assorted MG 243 ways (around 1 in 160) or even another BTG title like DHV, I found it all too easy to ditch Bonanza in favour of something that was admittedly more volatile, but also a lot easier to bonus.

If you do alrite on Bonanza, then well played sir and stick at it. Do what you have to do to get the playtime/value for money that you require from your slotting.

I'm all for folks slotting very much within their comfort zone.

No, @PMKFRUITPRO got 83x for 8-scatters trigger. I made a T-Shirt from the final screen. Showed it to Nik Robinson in London, that was the last time I saw him.

He let me have the filth for my YT channel, surprisingly has had relatively few views.

This is the lowest of the low in all 900-odd pages of this thread.

(Shortly after this I got the bonus-buy demo version from BTG, got a 32-spin bonus that was almost the same, same amount of dead spins etc. but incredibly paid only 67x!!)

There was a time on this forum (many years ago....like 2014 or something) when it was suggested
by some that 60p was a kind of "lucky stake" on which to play some of the 20 line Netent slots.

My first thought was "well that's obviously a load of Betty's" *

* as in Betty Swallocks

So no prizes for guessing what my second thought was...."I need to start playing Netent at 60p stake and soon"

And oddly enough the biggest win I ever had (in terms of x bet) was on a Netent at 60p stake, a full screen of tigers on Jungle Spirit.

Maybe it wasn't a load of...cough....Betty's after all...

 

[lukey141]

Think my screen is going sailing out the window if I got a 67x from 32 spins

Oh god yeah, I forgot about PMK's 8 scatter disaster. God that was PAINFUL viewing.

But I was right in thinking that bigwinvideos did have an 8 scatter trigger that was a stinker too.
It just wasn't THE WORST. Although it might have been at the time it happened, because I think his happened before PMK's did (again, you would know better than I would about this).

I was wrong about it being near 300x though....damn. What a(nother) horrible waste.

 

[kg2025]

I know ,but I havent had a winning session in the last few times ive played bonanza , I thought I'd be eventually due a decent win. Fucking game would drive you mad , it takes ages to hit a bonus , then win 20x or something shit like that

Ffs . .. at 2 quid a spin aswell , id have had a breakdown . I think i would have withdrawn my money before I tilted it all off

Yeah, that preceded @PMKFRUITPRO 's and paid twice as much x stake.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Can we not keep bringing that up please!!!

Tbf the funnier ones are always the most tilting!!

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Bollox I’m loading her up!! Gonna have a nibble.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Bollox I’m loading her up!! Gonna have a nibble.

Good for you, good luck, and why not have a guess in the remarkable thread to win £25 to put in bonanza and the comp is bonanza based!

 

[kg2025]

Be thankful you got nearly 100x on it.

I am, its the biggest x ive had I the last 5 or 6 session. I played it 2 nights ago , 3 bonuses in 3 hours and biggest win was 20 x. It actually feels like torture trying to hit the bonus .

 

[thediro]

Yeah mines has gone to absolute shit now...

Just draining balance, no hits, no bases, ive had 3 absolute stinking bonuses, 1 so bad i didnt even let it finish, literally just closed it down and went for dinner.

Think ill give a weeks rest on it.

Garbage.

 

[lukey141]

Yeah games been quite dry for me too this week.

Took ages to get this and I didn't even expect it because it was one of those same tumble double drop LD situations where there was hardly any space to begin with.

The old 1x yay... I think this is my lowest ever 'win'. I'm sure I'd remember if I had a 0x. The sad part was almost all the spins had good ways but it just kept not connecting. It was so obviously dead after the first 3 spins I was already resigned to it being a shit one.

Edit: Hit up more Turkey with my remaining balance and had a 12x, 0x and 24x all in about 30 spins. That's grim. I know I've done well on this game overall but the slot is not supposed to know this and even if it did it was on another site where it's actually done awfully. Definitely back down to reality today.

 

[thediro]

usual

 

[thediro]

lol - Im being serious though and you guys even doubted me and my ability for these low bonuses. but wtf do i have to do to actually get payed on them lol.

Went over to Xmas one - 4 spins in..

 

[thediro]

fml

I have one posted in here with the same bs. Although it wasnt a big trigger like this... but I had 32 spins (retriggers) and it paid somewhere around 70x.

I wish slot designers didnt do this to the programming its really unnecessary.

Anytime I get some type of cool, promising trigger on any slot, I think absolutely nothing of it now. I just look at it as a regular trigger.

I had the super feature on wildflower. Paid me 90x.

Triggers mean nothing. Retriggers mean nothing. Special features mean nothing.

If a slot is going to pay its going to pay. It doesnt need 32 spins. Its just bs the slot designer did out of some weird sick personal joke lol

 

[lukey141]

Well Video Slots clearly know me because they've sent me an offer to deposit £50 and I get £25 + 75 spins on Bonanza so guess I'm going back now lol. Being forced to make customers only have to wager 10x has been great though, way easier to actually beat them nowadays.

 

[lukey141]

Actually got a bonus.

27x though come on urgh.

Only good news is like 20 spins after that I had a 29x base game so I'm currently up 68p but only 17% of wager done haha.

Is there any stats on the frequency of +5 (or better) starting bonuses? I was just thinking that I haven't had one of those in quite a while.

Edit: Another bonus, that came fast. 28x now. Now there's no doubt going to be a huge dry streak. I'll give it 50 spins and switch to the Christmas version instead

 

[Reelsoffun]

Should always let it finish, last spin can be a monster you only need to look at this for a start… 7x until last spin save.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Dazza @dunover might know, but for me it’s been ages, @thediro seems to be hitting plenty!

 

[lukey141]

Yeah he does. Every time I get a natural with tumbles I always think ah here comes the +5 finally but no dice.

Anyway still banging away at the 60p bets. Was doing £4 more and switching up but somehow a third bonus. A more respectable 89x now. Last screen kinda sad. Those wilds trapped at the back bait way too frequent for my liking.

 

[thediro]

Getting there i guess

Although there was alotta dead spins again - i missed the most beautiful sea of red gems ever.

But still, better than usual.

 

[dunover]

Dazza @dunover might know, but for me it’s been ages, @thediro seems to be hitting plenty!

I haven't the foggiest, but a guestimate would be for triggers to offer it about 1/12 times, and retriggers occur I'd say in 1/15-20 bonuses.

 

[M!ke]

Most bonus rounds will be like most base game spins - duds.

I've actually calculated the following: Gold has a dead spin rate of 75%. More Turkey and Beef Lightning have around a 64% dead spin ratio.

I considered dead spins a return of 0.00. Bonanza's dead spin ratio is probably very close to More Turkey's, so.. expect to be shafted 64% of the time.

 

[lukey141]

Well I beat the 10x wagering. It's a shame because 75% of the way there my balance was up £80 from my initial deposit and then it just absolutely went frigid. I was seriously considering voiding the bonus, losing the £25 and keeping the £55 profit. As you can probably guess I didn't do that. Oh well at least I walked away with £31 more than I started with + scratched the gambling itch for the day.

Let's hope they offer me that deal again, like every day please lol.
