New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[Reelsoffun]

So i decided to deposit £16 (Dont ask)

Thought fk it, goto my Bonanza.

Took less than 10 spins

300x finally, does this mean your going to stop moaning now lol your average is on the climb for sure.

 

[Kroffe]

How did your balance go from £16 to £13 in less than 10 20p spins?

 

[thediro]

How did your balance go from £16 to £13 in less than 10 20p spins?

Cause i started spinning on DOA first then moved to bonanza quickly.

But regardless, roughly about 10-15 spins and hit bonus.

 

[thediro]

300x finally, does this mean your going to stop moaning now lol your average is on the climb for sure.

Not a fkn chance, im going for those @dunover numbers now.

 

[thediro]

Well - new day - new battle...

£10 in

 

[lukey141]

Play time 3 minutes 37

Do you ever not get a bonus in the first 5 minutes? Have you ever had a 1,000+ spin dry streak?

And the game has even been paying a bit for you recently too!

 

[brianmon]

Mostly from quite a few10's with a 13x, and just before busting out

1204x

 

[geordiecolin]

17x, no one likes boasters mate.

I just watched your Dazza G March vid on YT and you must be the sporniest content provider ever. Even without being able to up your bets. Bonanza has violated me this year so far. Keep it going

 

[kennygamerboy]

20p pays a lot better these days

 

[steveh35]

Sigh, sigh, sigh so I had £60 at Paddy Power played for 45mins lost it all not even one heart stopper, went to Playojo had £6 got bonus in 2 minutes and it paid this:

 

[geordiecolin]

20p pays a lot better these days

Not playing is much more sensible. But I can not suggest that I am sensible

 

[steveh35]

 

[steveh35]

Time for bed I think

 

[thediro]

So usual - £10 in etc etc

But i SHIT you not, im actually mad but happy cause yea its a nice win, but jesus CHRIST the last 4 spins!

A full row of diamonds at one point had to be at least £100+

Then the NEXT spin, a FULLL row of Ks everywhere, none in first row with a wild at top

then the second to last spin, 2 wilds at the top, bunch of reds etc, not a connector lol

But nice!

You’re definitely pulling up your average, congrats

 

[lukey141]

Yeah he's on a hot streak for sure

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Welll when u get a bonus every 10 spins it don’t take long to get ur average up.

Never known anything like it.

 

[thediro]

God damn them reds

Base hit of beauty

 

[lukey141]

Now I know why I can't bonus unless it's been 1,000 spins and the base game has been lacking too, you're stealing all the RTP!

 

[thediro]

Ok so, went a bit rogue and decided to change things up a bit.

I know you guys told me NOT to go near it, but i had to...

First one - Bonanza Falls (i went here with £4 on balance)

Bonus was SO bad - i didnt even screenie it, disgusting, got £1.30

Second one - Bonanza MegaPAYS (i took the £6 balance over to this one instead)

Bonus result £16 - I wrote "trash" because again it had SO many potential hits, but it was those "Heres what you COULD have won!" spins...


NOw - i decided, meh, go back to bonanza with £12 on balance.

Triggered 17 spins, will come back and let you know how it goes!

EDIt - DEAD SPIN AFTER DEAD SPIN for first 6 spins, then the SMALLEST fkn connectors possible the game has to offer, followed up by a random K's hit, then that was it, all crap.

 

[thediro]

Sigh

 

[lukey141]

That's my bad, I think I stole your rtp

Double retriggered bonus. Not amazing for 22 spins. TBH was looking dreadful until the 2nd last spin hit £120.

FYI More Fucking Turkey destroyed me so I'm still down even though this came in like 5 minutes.

 

[2Slots]

Always amuses me that slots play well when I genuinely don't care what happens. Bonus after 15 mins of the base game playing pretty well. 275x with a 174x hit.

 

[2Slots]

Nothing special but bonanza and friends have played like slot stars in their eyes, Tonight Matthew I'm going to be.... @thediro
Hit the bonus after 2mins. Same on Extra Chilli 5x and More Turkey 50x after around 20 spins.

 

[thediro]

Yup

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Well I’m currently the best part of a bag into bonanza falls. Top RTP obv. 60p - £1 stake

2 natural triggers and 2 win exchange chances which some how won.

1 hit 5x the others around the 50x mark.

The game is fucking brutal.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Great now I’ve hit some kind of deposit limit.

Why can’t I just brain out in peace ffs.

 

[thediro]

Great now I’ve hit some kind of deposit limit.

Unibet has me on this "£300 a month deposit cap limit" whats worse is, they dont open it by the day or anything...

You have to wait the full month to clear it, before you can redeposit, its becoming a fkn joke lol.

Its like "Do you guys not think ill just go to another casino and spend the money there?"

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Fuck me that’s one of the most brutal sessions I’ve ever had.

£1,500 down mostly on 80p for 4 fucking features on falls.

Ouch

 

[thediro]

Ouch

Not gonna lie -feeling it today myself, bonanza has completely shut the fuck down (Probably since Dazza been draining them again lately)

Too many L's popping up with no cascades and even with cascades theres nothing hitting.

Base hits are so dry it couldnt hit sand if it fell of a camel.

Think ill leave bonanza a week and go hit my lil 10p games for a bit.

 

[lukey141]

Yikes.

Sounds like me on More Turkey but I get way more bonuses, they just all pay sub 10x.

But as with all games there has to be RTP somewhere. I've genuinely never spun the Falls version though, every time I think about it I forget or read a lot of shit that puts me off. Maybe I'll do some freeplay spins just to experience for myself how badly they ruined the original game.

 

[lukey141]

I'd love to know what this fucking Bonanza bastard is doing.

714 spins no bonus just now. Add that to the no bonus the other day and I'm now at 1201 spins and £320 lost without a bonus. Fucking joke

Once in a while Bonanza will want 2500-3000 spins between bonuses, some people have gone north of 3000.

At a 1/460 average, that's what a bad run can do within the standard deviations of random chance.

Anyone who's lumped away at Bonanza for any length of time has hit one of these patches, you were told many pages ago it was going to happen at some point!

 

[lukey141]

Correct, but as you may recall maybe 2 weeks ago I went 5000 spins for 3 bonuses along with several other near 1000 spin bonuses in the last few weeks. On the flip side there have been no fast back to back the other way.

This is not an isolated dry spell it's a repeated shitshow.

You're on one of the very long downswings that Bonanza is capable of, as this thread will bear testament to it has a mental maths model and a very alluring but also very rare bonus - at the end of the day it still has to slice up a generous 4% house edge one way or another.

Any random game is going to fuck you at some point or another with getting on the wrong side of randomness and however its maths model dishes that out, Bonanza can feel particularly rotten when it does it.

Some people managed to run hot on Bonanza for days or even weeks at a time, whilst others were getting roundly shafted, once again, the history is all there to read in this thread.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Unless ur name is Robert TheDiro!!!

A dry spell for him is 100 spins without one!!

 

[lukey141]

Yeah I don't know what to say about his luck.

Unless he's refreshing the slot page every 5 minutes the timer always says he's been at it for like 5-10 minutes MAX before the bonus comes along.

Not gonna lie it's pretty tilting when I then look at my hour after hour of nothing lol.

Honestly, without stats, I'd take it all with a pinch of salt. I'm not saying anyone is being deliberately dishonest but the human brain can be an unreliable narrator sometimes.

Assuming there aren't fundamentally different versions of Bonanza out there, and the 96% maths model is the same 1/460 version for everyone, then over a decent enough spin sample, everyone's going to be around that frequency.

Above or below that is possible, sometimes for decently extended periods of time, but in the end maths will always win.

I depends on if your just estimating them or if your actually counting and what you using to count them?

As it can take a lot longer than you think to even do 500 spins due to all the cascading.

Like I have said in a previous post going 700+ spins on bonanza is quite a common experience which is going to be the case on a game where the average is 460

Even if he’s doing that, he’s still managing to get multiple bonuses daily so it’s definitely not something I ever experience for more than maybe one day occasionally lol

There has been some mild evidence to support that there is more than one math model for the same RTP, but nothing concrete. I did get close to having a reliable source that was in a position to confirm but they have unfortunately had to back out, and declined to go any further. Which while I find a bit frustrating I totally accept why they have.

Playing on all British Casino, game history shows 5 lines per 'page' a bet is a line, the result is another line.

So I check the date, zip over to the last page. Multiply the page before that by 5 then add the odd number from the final page. Gives me a total of say 1000 which would be 500 bets and 500 results.

So I am accurate to the exact spin count, aside from when I last got the bonus there I spun a bunch after which I haven't accounted for so that could be another 50-100 spins but I didn't include that in the 1201 spins.

Then when I had those 3 in 5000 it was played on All British Casino, Casumo (who show spin counts for each game each day in the stats) and I forget the last one tbh but I will have had a way to add the spins somehow or I wouldn't have just spit out a random figure.

I really wish I was exaggerating my spins but sadly they're on the up and up.

Challenge time:

Can old Chop's make a Bonanza related post WITHOUT using the numbers 1 4 6 and 0 and the '/' symbol

 

[lukey141]

What do you know it took 728 spins and over an hour to drop (different website to the 1201)

Fucking miserable but I was down to my last spin that hit £12 and few spins later bonus so could easily have been a bust. At least I got £100 of my £150 back but it's so frustrating because the base game was maintaining well, if I'd just got a bonus 300 spins earlier it could have been a good session.

I don't want to even think about my theoretical vs true bonus count at this point. I've got to be behind 15-20 bonuses this month alone.

About sums up how things are going

 

[sufferinsilence]

About sums up how things are going

I think every seasoned Bonanza player has seen this constellation tens of times

 

[2Slots]

Don't usually get disappointed from bonuses but I was expecting better than 91x from this one, hit after 5 mins as well. Got deceived by the +5! Multiplier went up to 12x by the 8th spin then 4 dead spins and a couple small wins between more dead spins.

 

[lukey141]

5 minutes bonus...

Meanwhile is anyone else surprised I've just gone 75 minutes and 532 spins without a bonus as usual another £150 down.

How the fuck am I down £600 and over 3000 spins today and all I have to show for it is 1 bonus. This has got to be some sort of sick joke.

Edit:

There it is boys bonus number 2. 21x Fuck everything.

Edit 2:

Holy shit a fast back to back. But wait, it's a 13x. How is this fair

 

[2Slots]

The irony is that these fast bonuses have all hit once I stopped seeing if I could hit the bonus and just play bonanza like I do any other slot.

It's definitely not a gamblers slot expecting to hit bonuses and win big, this thread proves that. It's more of a players slot where the base game can keep you ticking along and maybe hit a bonus but there comes a point where the bonus won't replace your loss most of the time because it's average is around 1/460 and 100x so there's no point chasing it if the likely loss or not hitting it is going to annoy you.

I prefer to play 25-30x and see how the games playing. If the base game is playing well I'll keep spinning but if it feels like it's gone dead or I hit the loss limit I go and play something else. Suits me as I'm just passing the time in the evening.

Just so you know I'm not ahead on Bonanza. Testing it out to get the bonus ate loads of my bankroll. Other slots were just replacing most or all of the losses.

You might be better off primarily playing some other slots that are pretty much bonus based. I had loads of bonuses from those types of slots that gave pretty decent returns but they were just boring for me as I prefer slots with better base games.

And tbh you hit the nail on the head...

Its the "Base Churn" that keeps you alive long enough to get a good play out the slots.

I think theres 2 ways to go into slots.

1 - I just want to win and hopefully win big and quick

or

2 - I just want to spin, keep hitting the spin button (Dopamine fix method)

Ill be honest, because i AM a low stake gambler and as you all know i go in with £10 deposits a time, i prefer option 2, im all about the long term keeping the spin going, i hate getting to low balance and im like "ahhh shit here we go again" but if i can genuinely get a good hour of gameplay from just churning WITH the possibility of a nice lil base whack (Which as you can see above, i get nice lil base hits), then that keeps me content and happy.

IF im looking for a quick win and just burn through the deposit, ill go play DOA 2 lol...
