New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[2Slots]

I might give BGT a break for a while, I have played Bonanza for last few weeks terrible bonus wins and weirdly every bonus round I had had no win first spin. I have tried Beef Lightning and got totally shafted I only got the "yee-ha" sound effect once, not one bonus, Apollo Pays also got shafted on again one bonus of £13. Monopoly shafted no bonus, Monopoly Megapots never again.

My experience with pretty much every BTG slot has been bonuses really well when I've first played them and then they all become really difficult. Beef Lightning is probably the one I've played the most and I got so many bonuses early on and most of them were 100x plus. I made a comment in one of the screenshot threads about it when I posted them. Luckily I hit 2500x on it so I have been using that win to play bonanza. Big Bad Bison, Gold, Donuts and others all hit bonuses really well at first then went dead.

It could be that I have the ridiculous first time luck but it's a little strange that all the BTG slots played like that for me. I have a theory but we wouldn't find out either way so why dwell on it!

I played Doa2 for the first time last night, got 3 scatter after 25 spins - then i panicked because i didnt know theres a "3" selection from the bonus feature you can pick, so my dumb ass picked the far right one - "BigWin" bonus....

I made 0.32p from it.

Never went back

If your as lucky hitting bonuses in DoA2 then you could do Train Heist and would probably love it. It's a very fun bonus.

It doesn't have huge win potential (neither does bonanza it seems) but it drops in plenty of decent wins with the odd 200-400x as well, others on here have got bigger wins but my best is 533x. You also have the option of switching bonuses depending on how you feel because you will have sessions where you get multiple bonuses. I think my best is 7 or 8 bonuses.

Also the base game generally gives plenty of wins to keep you ticking along. It can even run really well and put you in profit quite frequently so chasing the bonus is "free" for quite a few spins. If I hit a bonus and the base game has put me in profit I'll give high noon a go, it's usually less than 10x but its "free" so doesn't bother me as much.

Bonanza give lots of good base wins too but i found that I was always down already so it was just putting me back around zero before taking it back again and again trying to get a bonus, apart from that 120x I put above.

For me its a much better slot than bonanza apart from the visuals if you like that more. I love a simple slot so its perfect for me.

 

[lukey141]

Casually ate £200 to then pay 21x piece of shit.

 

[Reelsoffun]

I got one finally today after 2 days, 57x think my good run is on the slide

 

[lukey141]

First 200x in nearly 3 weeks.

Look at the multi though. It built up so much to start off then just died with 4 spins to go. What a wasted potential that was.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

That last sentence sums up pretty much everything BTG have released.

The hype followed by………………… The disappointment.

 

[thediro]

Read an article somewhere that BTG along with the other providers are now being sued lol....

Need to find it, would LOVE to see a follow up on it and see these idiots taken to the cleaners now honestly.

10+ years of absolute lies, deceit and bs.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Their games make RTP. They’re no different to others. In the olden days the hype was big for a release from them. Now nobody cares because their games simply don’t deliver like others.

Lil devil aside most are powder puff apart from the odd once a half decade hit.

Doesn’t mean they are bent or corrupt.

 

[thediro]

I think its the "False expectations" they promised that hasnt been delivered in over 10+ years...

This "unlimited multiplier" possibility, never personally seen it above x15 in my many bonuses around it.

Either way, nothing will happen to them, nothing ever does.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

The multiplier isn’t capped tho is it?

So it won’t stop growing until ur spins run out. Obviously retriggers are once in every 75/100 bonuses so don’t expect it to change!!

I think in all these years I’ve breached 30 maybe once possibly twice.

I guess thats kinda my point and i imagine you and many others who has been part of it for so long, the fact in over a decade theres almost NO recordings or evidences of that Multiplier going mental lol.

There was the whole "Fake" screenie fiasco involving the CEO - and that Swedish person who had the big win but apart from that, im just not finding anywhere that has these *big* win multiplier hits...

Just feels far fetched and a conjured illusion of lies and conspiracy at this point lol.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

It is far fetched mate. Like I said nobody believes the hype any more.

There are plenty of BTG games that can and do reliably hit big, but will take you apart in the process if you so much as look at them funny, and in some cases you can be chunking away at them for months or even years before they finally hit a god mode feature.

Bonanza is not one of those games, it'll churn along doing its kind of medium volatility sort of thing forever.

If you're after big feature wins then Bonanza is the wrong game to play.

Which ironically in itself, is what should be investigated lol.

The fact we all know the slot has no intention of doing what its "advertised" to do, is basically false advertisement, there basically just Money withholders lol, just crap drib drabs of hits here and there to keep them in the "safety" zone for legality.

The slot iteslf has become just a pure bane of garbageness - kinda glad ive moved onto it and started to fight this DOA 2 and for some reason decided to try Crypt 2, which personally, is an absolute big pile of shite, but im still intrigued to see what it can do.

Investigated for what? The multiplier on Bonanza is technically unlimited, or rather, 'uncapped'. They've never claimed it will or won't hit any particular numbers. The number of goals that can be scored in a football match is technically 'unlimited' but realistically we all know the results are going to come in within certain boundaries, and the vast majority of the time within pretty tight ones at that.

Bonanza keeps to RTP and is certified for use in some of the mostly highly regulated gambling markets in the world, you can dislike the game and BTG as much as you want, but you're howling into the wind with everything else.

EDIT - DOA2 is a whole different monster, if you think Bonanza can do a piece of work on a balance, you ain't seen nothing yet. Proceed with caution.

 

[lukey141]

And this is why despite the love hate relationship with the game I keep coming back. It's nice to play a game where RTP actually holds up to the advertised one across a small sample and not billions of spins that we won't ever manage to achieve.

Though I am disappointed to have not seen a 1,000x yet with the amount of play I've put in the last 4 months.

Fair point Chopley...

However if ever the day came, I was to be offered 1,000 wager free, free spins on a choice of these games. I would choose DoA II every time.

 

[2Slots]

I did forget to mention in my post that DoA2 can play like complete crap sometimes, but then so can all slots. Train Heist has been a great bonus for reasonable wins, it can also be crap too like all slots.

@ChopleyIOM I watched your gambling would be illegal video. You make really interesting stuff. That kids ticket slot is unbelievable.

I realised last year that slots trigger that childhood nostalgia for me during holidays playing the 2p pusher machines. I'd be on them forerver, well as long as it dropped 2p's or my dad would keep giving me a quid or two to play them Probably one reason I like playing min stake slots tbh.

I flicked through one of your fruit machine hack ones too I think. When I was a teenager my fruit machine playing mates would know which ones the guys like you knew the hacks for and wouldn't play them.

Think my best was 37x multi

 

[lukey141]

What an absolute load of horse shit

Deposited £100, balance was hovering around £100-£120 for a good 20 minutes when I hit the bonus at £104. Well damn I thought, this could be good. Yeah fucking right.

Endless wild baits with no connects into a 24x. Typical Bonanza BS.

 

[teckiwi]

Yeah does anyone here prefer the likes of Extra Chilli etc and the bonus gambles. I would love if either game was 0.10c NZD for lowrolling

 

[thediro]

Yup

 

[lukey141]

We're cursed into an endless cycle of 20x's haha

I'm not a fan of the bonus gambles at all tbh. The best RTP returns are from gambling bonuses and it really sucks to do 300-400 spins for a bonus then gamble and lose.

The other issue with Extra Chilli is the coins that give the 'free' feature. It means a bunch of RTP is tied up in this and you never know if something happens to the game and resets your progress if you don't unlock it in 1 session. I'm ok with doing min bets there but I wouldn't do my normal £1 and lock myself into trying to get the coin feature.

 

[Jono777]

Several bonuses this evening, £30 (leftover) starting balance

20p bets, all triggered via cascading 'D' (no straight roll ins or L+D together)

£7.xx
£1.xx
£7.xx
£24.xx
£9.xx
£10.xx

All good you may say?, nope base game that bad, still bust in under 2 hours.

 

[2Slots]

109x, took 41mins and 362 spins to hit. Put me around 75x in profit. Same story, usual slots were dead again tonight so I planned to give this a fiver but it hit a 60x in the base after 10ish spins.

Decided to keep going for a bonus but I found it a real ordeal after around 200 spins. The base game hit got me to 260ish spins then another 30x or so for the next 100.

I have some respect for you guys that can spin this slot for hours. At 200 spins I was thinking is that all I've done, when the 60x ran out I had to really think about playing on. I've got the worst slot stamina anyway but if other games are hitting I can get to near an hour and enjoy it.

At least I hit a bonus that was around the average! Such a great base game, think I'll play a fiver occasionally on this and leave if I get a decent base game hit.

 

[lukey141]

I would say if you get a decent base game that puts you up an amount you're happy with leaving is for sure the better option. You can easily give it all back and way more trying to get the bonus which can then just poop out a 20x anyway.

Personally if I increase my starting balance by 50x I'll leave even if it was just through the base game. Too many times I've decided to keep going for a bonus to then go and bust out completely. Of course it does suck if you get a big base game in the first few minutes because it's like do I really want to call the session already? If I've only been spinning a few minutes I will usually keep going and stop if I get down to my original deposit, if it's been more than like 15 minutes I would play down/up to an even number then stop.

Agreed mate. I try to have a rotation of slots so I can switch when one starts to feel like it's gone dead.

Problem is I got 3 slots now because all the other ones I got bored or they played really well to begin with then died. Unless I've had a decent win I hate playing random slots and losing or not enjoying it.

If it's one from my rotation I don't mind as much because they generally play ok so I know it's just one of those things if it shits on me. I like bonanza base game so it's now 4 slots, kind of!

I've found that if you can find enough slots that you like and they generally play well then one will put you back near even or up a lot of the time. They can all be shit too but generally one usually comes through for me and then another might come back to life on the second go. Went like that tonight actually.

It was bonanza today so it's in for now

 

[thediro]

I went on my phone last night in bed, thought fk it...

£10 in

FIRST SPIN - GOLD - VERY FIRST SPIN!

I thought yay anything is a profit at this point!

£2.40

Well...its profit i guess.

 

[thediro]

Ok so....

Went back this morning with ma wee cafe late...

£10 in

GOLD within 5 spins....

Sad thing is - Last 5 spins were dead

 

[2Slots]

You got the luck on this game mate. I'm sure you will hit a big one eventually.

 

[thediro]

Well - had £5 left in the balance, went to DOA 2

Got 2 features 3 scatters each

First bonus on (High pay) selection

£2.46

Second DOA 2 bonus

£2.46 (yes, the SAME payout for both)

Thought fuck it, bonanza time...

Got down to £2 balance..

 

[2Slots]

It's unbelievable how you get bonuses everywhere, proper impressive

Even your DoA2 high noon bonus wasn't that bad, I get less than 10x on it nearly always. You could probably hit a massive win on there eventually the amount of bonuses you seem to get. Just got to accept the mostly shit ones.

I never play the middle its the same as DoA so don't bother might as well play the original. You could give that one a spin too if you like DoA2, pretty much the same but only one bonus. You'll probably hit loads of bonuses on that as well!

5 scatters pay a massive 2500x on them too so it's something else to hope for even though its rare.

Well - might take you up on that...

Went to bonanza with £10

Got this again lol

WHEN IS MY BIG WIN COMINNNNG!!!

I DID however, hit another 3 scatter on DOA, sadly only on a 0.09 bet, took the high one, got like 5 wilds (sadly not on each row), ended up with £18.

 

[lukey141]

It is literally beyond understandable how you get so many bonuses. You make it seem like you're playing the game with a 5x extra chance no limit city bet enabled haha.

 

[thediro]

I am Bonus Hunter!

Im just apparently shit at my job cause i keep hunting the low ones.

 

[2Slots]

You must be a wizard. You telling me you hit 200x got 5 wilds on High Noon and you've played it what 4 times! You've already done better than I have in a year, never had close to 5 wilds. It's why I stopped choosing it. Jammy prick

Just so you know DoA slots are very high volatility so 9p is a lot of people's normal bet even if they play other slots at higher stakes. It can go very dead I think that's why someone mentioned it can eat your balance. I wouldn't play it on more than 0.18 tbh.

Thing is it's not like bonanza. I play it usually for around 30x loss so 3 quid down. If its playing well that will last for a while and hit a bonus or two. If I lose 30x then I just play something else or stop. Whenever I've tried to chase a bonus it never hits anyway. It's more readable than bonanza, when your lucks in it's in.

Don't know why I'm telling you that. Tell them to change your name to MrBonus!

 

[thediro]

Ok I took your advice and got this

 

[2Slots]

You been listening to the wrong people Absolutely smashed it mate Well done. Would love to know what you hit for that win.

 

[thediro]

A shit bunch of wilds!! Although I thought you were meant to get extra spins for wilds each row which I got had like 8 of them all on like x2 multis lol

Was dreamy to watch every single hit produce something good for once

 

[Kroffe]

You get 5 extra spins if you have 1 wild on each reel, positions does not matter.
If you did have wilds on all reels maybe you just missed the spins being added, there is not a lot of bells and whistles for the re-trigger.

 

[2Slots]

Amazing! You get 5 extra spins if you get a wild on each reel. If you got 5oak wilds in the high noon bonus already you know some people have been chasing that for ages from what I read

I should apologize for calling you a jammy prick! Us mere slot mortals could never understand the ways of a slot wizard

 

[thediro]

Just had 4 scatter on DOA but it only gives £2 for 0.09 spins which isn’t bad but the bonus itself payed 0.38p lol

 

[TheAddict]

Be patient mate, the way you run you'll probably need to go through another 2 or bonuses before the 5 scatters appears.

 

[2Slots]

I played DoA2 first but it was dead then I realised @thediro is probably playing it and getting all the bonuses so I'd have to play bonanza

Reckon I was right! I got a bonus on this after 10 minutes. Earliest one yet and then another dropped in pretty quickly. Considering it's been taking ages to get none or one this was my best session.

50 mins, 3 bonuses - 10x, 35x and this 101x.

I gave DoA2 and JATB another spin and they both played well enough that I took my deposit off and decided to see if Bonanza can give two good sessions. Answer was....no! Took what I had left on there and said gtfo. Played for nearly 30 mins tho so not bad but a bonus would have been nice.

Did you switch back to bonanza by any chance?

 

[lukey141]

Another deposit and it went something like this.

298 spins with L appearing exactly 3 times, all 3 times on reel 6 and without a tumble AKA bonus impossible.

Finally got a GOL with tumbles, proceeded to tumble 4! times after the initial spin and dropped a D.

Then actually paid over 200x.

Say nothing for the fact I was down to £4 and resigned to busting as usual so I'll take it for sure.

*Cracks fingers*

Im heading there soon!

I dunno though, DOA2 has been actually pretty nice lol, 9p spins with a chance of some good lil wins, ive racked up 7 bonuses so far, tried all the selections - the top one "More wins" when you need the wilds to build up the multi was really nice - got upto x29 unlocked the 5 extra spins and ended up walking away with £44, not bad at all.

*Stares at BTG in the distance* - I want you to be dead to me!

....But i hear it calling my name like Madonna.

It's the most fun one for me, not only on there but pretty much out of every slot I've played. I'm not fussed about the low win potential. Someone on here told me their max win on it after years is 1500x, mine is 533x so not to bad if thats the case.

You hit bonuses a lot tho so might not apply but it's not like bonanza where I know the bonus will probably take ages to hit. I've had loads of DoA2 bonuses inside 10/20 spins, also had a few back to back bonuses, very nice when you finish the bonus, spin and another one hits. Bonanza avg bonus frequency is 1/460, DoA2 is around 1/200 I think.

Bonanza is fun to spin when I don't mind losing all/most deposit but that gets old for me and can't be done often. I always feel like it's fun during the session but afterwards think my usual slots would have probably cost less for the time I played and I would have probably hit a lot of bonuses, might be some dead ones but if I'm playing DoA2 for 30-50mins it means they've been hitting.

Bonanza is a really well designed slot, I mean both the maths model and all the psychology behind the visuals and sound. It's the only cascade/cluster slot I've tried that doesn't feel like the design is a distraction. I hated all the other ones I tried pop,pop,pop 0.6x...pop,pop,pop, pop 1.2x and on and on. You'd be luck to get a 10x on most of them with higher wins even rarer.
