New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[steveh35]

I can't decide whether to be really fucked off with this or be grateful for getting over £100.

Two retriggers and still it's basically one multiplier per spin

 

[lukey141]

So I'm a stupid addict with no self control.

Went to a different site put another £100 and decided to up it back to £1 bets.

84th spin dropped a bonus when I was only down £11. One of those nice surprise GO that tumbles in LD in the same drop.

61x not amazing though better than you lot managed this evening! At least I was hardly down when it came so now I'm overall only down £48. Oh well.

Back to waiting for a deposit bonus for me.

Both? but more towards the I got the shaft.

 

[thediro]

Well at least i know im not the only one being shafted by the Bonanza Bonus in general in terms of payouts.

Yes i know i hit them frequently compared to most, however, these pay outs are tragic beyond comprehension now.

 

[thediro]

So i decided to go "test" to show you guys, a lil story of it i guess and how this goes for me...

I deposit £10 to UNIBET

I spin for 20+min During this, i hit a £8 base hit, that took me upto £15, I then spin down to £2 Balance, and it drops!

And this is what i get....

Welcome to my Bonanza life.

It really is for better words, a fucking disgrace.

The End.

Quick edit since i dont want to spam this...

I continued to play the balance out and because bonanza knows im on low balance, the bastard has proceeded to show me 7 GOL's with NO cascades chances and taken me down to £1.47 - then i smacked some diamonds.

 

[sufferinsilence]

I mean... You deposit £10 and at the end you're at £11, on top of that you had a bonus.

So, what exactly are you expecting? Most games will take that tenner off of you in 2 minutes and kick you to the curb.

Suppose your question is kinda rhetorical?

Im expecting what i imagine all of us are here doing all this for, a good payment bonus? lol

And i can appreciate "most games" would do that, but this is the bonanza thread and the purpose off my post was just to enlighten the discussion thats been going on for last 10 pages, just a comparison for other bonanza players to see and compare in general.

Not really expecting anything from "here" specifically if thats what you meant, but in terms of playings slot and gambling as a whole?

Yeah im expecting to get payed, handsomely.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Meanwhile played over 500 spins in it today no bonus.... just like that sometimes.... but not for @thediro

LOL

TBH you can keep your hit frequency and I will keep my 100x average

 

[Reelsoffun]

The chance a bonus in that game will return at least 80x are horrendous.

On the stats I posted on the sample was 44% chance of 80x or more, not bad at all tbh.

This is why I really wish more of you did this, it would be great to compare each others results in excel form ( ok yes im a excel nerd! )

Because im convinced a lot of you have confirmation bias.

I have "playin the game" bias, LOL. I'm jokin. It's just as a human I don't see the big picture unless I log it.

I personally haven't had too many complaints about Bonanza.. because I don't play it much, ha. No, really, the message was more geared for his experience. He triggers a ton of bonuses but most of 'em are weak.

It's a very volatile game, so a bonus can return 10x five times in a row or 200x five times in a row. I expect nothin when I play these slots.

My biggest bonus on Bonanza was 500x and I've had plenty of decent ones. The stats you posted align with my overall experience with the game.

Slightly sarcastic, mostly rhetorical

I'm a seasoned Bonanza veteran, if you go back about 400 pages you'll see but I've never had the bonus frequency you had and it has always been bonus or bust for me. Once I had a net win of 4k on it, after putting 1k through it on €5 spins... That was a crazy session and it wasn't even a 1000x win on the bonus! I've never had that and I played more spins on it than on any other game I've ever played.

I think what you show us isn't too bad.

I wish I could go back and do that but I only took screens of 100x + or if it was unreasonably low but mostly for like 30-99x I wouldn't give it a second thought.

At this point I don't know if there's any point in starting to track as I don't see myself playing that much again. At the very least it would take years rather than months to build a decent sample and I'm not that interested.

The other thing is I've played Bonanza on at least 10 different sites so I'd need to track all the sites separately to see which games are 'due' due to poor RTP and which will be eating me alive to bring RTP back down.

Aside from Video Slots/Mr Vegas/Mega Riches none of the other sites provide a proper breakdown I don't think.

I've got 106.22% RTP on Mr Vegas off 13577 spins with best hit 484x.
98.10% RTP on Mega Riches off 4363 spins with best hit 420x.
95.15% RTP on Video Slots off 8968 spins with a best hit 500x.

Edit: Turns out Playojo sort of tracks it. I'm at 84.97% RTP from at least 5603 spins, doesn't show best hit.

Looks like I might need to play there next time I'm owed something

 

[lukey141]

Well I decided to give Playojo a whirl given what I just discovered and after eating 75x is bonused and paid 19x. FML

Edit:

And another 269 spins on the site from earlier.

Now up to 858 spins with no bonus and not even a max ways spin. I regret everything. What a stupid stupid decision to go back to Bonanza tonight.

 

[lukey141]

And the reward for getting a bonus, over 1000 spins later is... 15x!

Jesus christ

 

[lukey141]

Kept spinning got GO

tumbled in LD+5 on the same tumble.

Fucking please slots gods give me a 100x....

 

[Jono777]

Tonight's session at ABC

£30 balance

Gold - £6
Gold +5 - £17
Gold - £27
Gold - £15
Gold - £1 (Yes £1)
Gold £11,

Just over doubled balance at one point. It's gone dead now so quit £10 in front.

Point of post really is, don't think I've ever managed 6 bonuses in a single session, despite them being mostly crap.

That's me all "Golded Out" for 2026 lol

 

[lukey141]

Finally a little something my god.

Why did I touch Bonanza again. I was having such a good month and pissed away so much on this and more turkey.

That's me done for the rest of the month 100%. You demons won't tempt me again lol.

This was from the £20 of lossback after losing £200 yesterday. At least I'm up £50 here, don't want to think about the other sites!

 

[Jono777]

Switched to it's "cousin" IE: Extra Chilli

Must have had 10 bonuses within first 250 spins or so. Still left the game £30 down, features were that bad, worst being 0.42p lmao!

 

[lukey141]

I had a crazy run on extra chilli last weekend.

I gave it a go the other day (on a different site) hoping for some more magic. I literally unlocked the 'free' feature without getting a single natural bonus. Then free feature paid about 15x and I instantly x'd out the game in disgust. I couldn't believe it ate 400x without a bonus, thankfully on 20p bets but holy shit I was so tilted by the end even though the loss was tiny the amount of shitty spins was what threw me over the edge.

What the actual fuck! Don’t you start, I not bonused it in 2 days, over 1000 spins….. and you do a Diro on me and get how many? 6

What is going on in the world LOL

 

[thediro]

Looks like my stats arent looking so "dodgy" after all now huh.

 

[TheAddict]

So it has now reached the depths of arguing over who had hit the shittest bonus.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Even I managed to get ahead on bonanza last night thanks to this ‘last spin no win’ hit on paddy.

Unfortunately I’m going through Pragmatics compensated dead spin feature blocking cycle on Buffalo King Megaways at the moment on which I’ve been doing my absolute crust on via 365 and slots temple.

So this hit just helped cover some of those losses.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

So it has now reached the depths of arguing over who had hit the shittest bonus.


View attachment 217456

The Bonanza circle of insanity is well and truly squared.

 

[thediro]

Bonanza has proven to be an absolute disgusting slot for bonuses thats for sure lol.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Yes getting them.

They’ve always been mostly shit. 12 spins - half dead and feature over in average of just 1 minute or so.

It’s why getting anything from them is always down to the luck boxes.

As the great Ren once said ‘I guess there’s some that’s born lucky, there’s some that’s not’

So true.

 

[thediro]

On the contrary sadly my ass is in the "opposite" luck barrel.

I can nail GOLDS and the +5s no problem, trying to get them to connect, hit and actually pay anything is another story.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

The flip side of that is that each of those is 1500-2500 spins apart. Which can and will happen and of course makes no difference to how shit they will be regardless of whether they take 50 spins or 3000.

That’s when the total carnage and absolute brains ensues.

 

[thediro]

Yeah but still, the slot as a whole is getting a bit shit now not gonna lie, the "thrill" of it has complete waned.

 

[lukey141]

I was offered deposit and wager £10 and get £10 free with 1x wager. Seemed like a pretty solid deal so despite what I said yesterday I fired up Bonanza on 40p bets obviously easily beat the 1x wager. Stupid game actually gave me a bonus, thankfully? Only 50x, don't want a big hit on low bet size lol.

Took this and a tiny little top up over to the other casino that went 1000 dry the other day. Loaded the game up and the screen literally showed me the bonus I got last time so it was the very last spin I did. No matter did some spins and finally a fast back to back, as within 50 spins GOLD, while my balance was only down 7x.

Been a while since I've had back to back 100x + and more than makes up for the dry spell that came before it.

 

[thediro]

The entire slot needs investigated tbh lol, theres absolutely no fucking way they can get away with these low payout constant bonuses

Keep in mind - i already won 0.18p before the bonus started, so basically, i just got 11 dead spins

 

[Jono777]

Headed to DoA with the £15 I left in when I went to bed last night earlier this afternoon.

Took a while but then back to back bonuses gave me the 5 extra spins and I was soon just under £50.

Planned to turn off and have a decent (lol) 20p session on Bonanza after tea later.

Boredom and the posts in the thread got the better of me lol and I blew the lot back without even opening Bonanza in the end

 

[lukey141]

You think that's bad you should see my More Turkey run in the screenshots that suck thread.

I had 9 or 10 bonuses last night best paid around 40x, the majority were under 10x. I think my average x win was about 12 or 13. On top of the base game being dry too.

I know it's a 40x buy and more weight is put into the base game but I bet if I bought 10 bonuses in a row on free play I'd never see that many bad bonuses in a row again, I have to have hit an insanely low likelyhood streak.

I should have stuck with Bonanza. That actually treats me fairly.

So I was curious but I don't have time or interest for a large sample so just did 20 buys.

First 10 best win 152x, worst 4x. Average 36x
Second 10 best win 109x, worst 1x (twice). Average 51x

For the 20 buys average was actually 44x despite 6 of the 20 bonuses being under 10x. But it does seem to manage to still maintain around where it should.

 

[thediro]

Just typical as fuck now

 

[thediro]

Well - got my money back again i guess...

 

[thediro]

Really is depressing now, sorry but, theres defo something wrong with BTG's bonus payout system.

Needs looked into.

 

[lukey141]

Yeah that's a grim one

 

[lukey141]

I know you guys like min bets and there's nothing wrong with that but personally I like my £1 bets so I hate betting less for fear of getting something good on a low bet.

That being said I won £5 from a leaderboard race. Decided to throw it at Christmas Bonanza on 20p bets as it's not a game I'd do normally and min withdrawal was £10. Of course got a 174x bonus on the tiny bet! Argh. At least I have enough to be allowed to withdraw now...

Was an odd trigger. Just the G then the O on tumble 1 and the LD on tumble 2.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I call that the Dazza G Drop.

Basically only spawny fuckers get it.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Needs looked into.

What would you wish to be investigated? The fact that a random game with a generous house edge that is mathematically guaranteed to eventually take all your money off you, is taking your money off you?

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

It’ll only be another 25 spins and he can another crack at a +5!

 

[thediro]

What would you wish to be investigated? The fact that a random game with a generous house edge that is mathematically guaranteed to eventually take all your money off you, is taking your money off you?

Sure, its a start.

Im just more stating in terms of the "Bonus payouts"....

"Generous house edge" - Im curious what this is you are referring to, wouldnt this be the same for EVERY slot by definition? Isnt that what were sold on?

Again, my bonus hit frequency is apparently "off the charts" in terms of others, but im not getting anything over £1-5 wins per bonus for well over 50 bonuses now.

But i totally get what you are saying with your condescending attitude, regardless though, still feel BTG is a lil shifty when it comes to these bonus's.

Noones complaining about the base hit churn.

 

[Hakeed49]

I also think this is one of the strongest episodes of BGT in recent years — emotions, jokes and real surprises. By the way, while I was waiting for the results, I got hooked on online games *snip*
— it unexpectedly dragged on.

RIP Hakeed.

Track your stats, it's easy to do and immediately starts putting some actual data into the mix. Stick them in a spreadsheet or just record them in Notepad or even with a pen and paper.

Any online slot is capable of massive swings in volatility across all metrics in the short term, but it'll average out pretty quickly, especially for a game that isn't too volatile overall, such as Bonanza.

Everything else is kind of just hot air really, attach some numbers to the endeavour and then we've got something to discuss.

I've done it a fair bit over the years and posted them to this thread, such as these from 2023, which I'll repeat below.

Yeah we know all this.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yeah we know all this.

Or not, in some cases

'Needs looked into', well we can look into it ourselves, and the most fundamental part of that is tracking your stats. Tinfoil hats often tend to disappear into the void when confronted with data and facts.

Im utterly confused by what your "stats" would create or intend to tell when it comes to "Bonus payouts"?

Like - get you are a spreadsheet / tracker kinda guy, most of us arent, we come to spin, hope for the best, better luck next time.

My biggest concern is the over all 90% ratio of LOW payout bonuses....when RNG is supposed to play a part is it not?

I get its not a PROPER RNG, but an RNG based off its own pool from the selected algorithm.

But in all honesty - all your *stats* show absolutely nothing other than over 800+_ pages, most of you stated its a 1/426 bonus feature, which some of us have now completely debunked, because were hitting bonuses on a more base average than 1/426.

So again, can completely appreciate what you are trying to accomplish, but you arent going to just based of "spreadsheet" stats, because as you says, volatility PLAYS a huge part.

"tinfoil hat" theory ,is basically the exact same thing you are doing with your stats, because again, what does it prove, what has your stats accomplished?

What does it tell us about the slot thats a "fact"?
