Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
I hate the game but love it at the same time. The sad reality is most games will drain the balance way faster without a crazy hit. So for all the grumbling it still ends up being a good option if you want lots of game time.
And I am perfectly happy to accept a 460 odd bonus average. What I can't stand is going 1,000 spins + regularly to get a bonus when they can (as witnessed frequently) be total garbage. I realise they can't all be good but when you work so hard to get it you shouldn't be able to get sub 20x.

So you're not happy with a 1/460 average then, because a function of that will be fairly regular 1000+ spin dry spells without a feature.
As players we'd all like regular features that pay well, and a high paying basegame, and some sort of minimum feature pay guarantee, and maybe a feature build in the background that covers for dry spells and hey, guess what, you've just designed a game with a 115% RTP.
IF it actually ran at 460 average. It way too frequently runs 1000+ dry yet I can count on 1 hand the amount of times it bonuses within the first 5 minutes of starting. Likewise 1000 dry into another 700+ dry happens frequently. Last night was my first 'back to back' (still 10 minues apart) in several months. Even then I had 3000 spins 1 bonus before those so the average was still over 1000 spins a bonus.
I wish I had exact details of every spin and bonus on the game so I could give accurate figures but I would be shocked if my bonus frequeny this year was below 700 spins average.
Unless you're diro that simply doesn't happen.

Statistically speaking, 1/460 is a fairly regular occurrence, there's a very high chance you'll be within shouting distance of 1/460 once you get to around 20K spins or so.
As ever, tracking stats is the only real truth in this kind of thing.
You might know the answer or have an idea about this but something I wondered while playing bonanza is how the scatters are dropped in.
On slots like DoA the scatter symbols are all the same so they are usually on the reels and show up depending on the RNG calls I'd assume.
With bonanza the scatters are letters so they must be on the reels as empty placeholders and then the correct letter symbols are shown depending on the number of scatters visible.
The other thought I had while playing is that the scatters might be managed from a different RNG call on every spin/drop and maybe they have a separate maths model that returns how many scatters to drop in, if any, and they are then worked into the reels using some form of additional programming.
I'd assume it would likely be the first option but bonanza has a crazy maths model anyway so the scatter calls could be just as complicated.

If you look closely you can see the scatters are indeed blank until land then it puts the appropriate letter in based on count as you say.
As for the reels, bonanza uses multiple reel sets, as has been discussed many times and were posted on here at one point.
Obviously I didn’t have anything to do with the design of bonanza but if I had to guess my educated guess is……
There appears to be 3 sets used for the base game, (each with scatters) which is probably randomly selected each spin, with possible weighting, obvious reasons.
One set is used for max ways spins, ( no scatters, big clusters of 7 in a row etc)
Four sets used for feature ( no scatters ) either random selection or random selection based on current multiplier would be my expectation and explains the shift when you get high multiplier.
As for the cascades, I believe these originally are also drawn from the current selected set, possibly from a new random point on the strip, I say this as you can sometimes have full 7 symbols of one and still get more even tho no more than seven of same symbol appear in a row on a strip etc.
On versions that didn’t give scatters on max ways, it used the scatterless max way set for the original spin and subsequent drops, on versions that could letter on max ways, it was using a particular set or random base set for the drops.
While the game is considered very complex they can still work out expected pays by knowing the strips and average values of the reel heights, how many scatters etc.
It’s no secret that I have always loved this game and have made my own unofficial versions of it and WWTBAM the math, and methods really intrigued me, very nerdy thing to say I know but spreadsheets are fun LOL

Thanks for this. I tried looking closely for the scatter drop tell that you all were mentioning a few pages back but haven't figured it yet so I'll probably miss the empty scatters too!
Creating your own slot is very cool. Can it be played anywhere? Also how did you go about it? Self-taught or did you already have experience of slot design?
I've become a lot more interested in everything around slots than the slots themselves. Such a simple concept but you can find politics, business, tech, psychology, health, finance etc. all involved with them.
One last question, I know it's in this thread somewhere but what is bonanza's base game RTP? I keep thinking I saw 70% but I could be mistaken.

Think it depends on PC or a bit of lag when you get glimpses of the blank letter, fast pc etc probably don’t see it.
The scatter / win drop tell, once you see it you can’t un-see it, but not all versions do it.
I designed a few real ones including land based ones, made many custom games for people to their own specs but, and made over 150 PC slots for entertainment on the now defunked Reelsoffun site but were based on real slot math, coded / written in VB6 so old tech now.
70% Yeah it seems to be around that, personally think it could be 68-75% not something I have properly tracked so I don’t have exact figures plus don’t think it’s ever been posted officially but I would say that’s quite a close figure overall, same as the 460 seems pretty close as well.

That's very interesting. So you've been involved in/with the industry for a long time.
I wanted to know the base game RTP because most of the time I've calculated the RTP from some posts here when they haven't hit the bonus they seem to be hitting the base game at around 70% so they're actually doing ok, apart from not getting to unlock the bonus RTP
Gave this a couple spins tonight. First try was completely dead, pretty much 20 dead spins so I ran away
Second go was much better 45 mins, but ended 50x down after 3 bonuses - 15x, 25x, 5x. Nothing special or terrible so no screenshots. So many dead spins in the bonuses tho. I was down to 25x balance at one point after the first bonus then some decent base hits and the other two bonuses left me back at 70x.
Decided to give DoA2 a quick spin as it was in a good mood earlier and still was just now! Hit a couple of 5oaks then the train heist bonus for 187x so ended a little up after thinking I was heading to zero during the bonanza rollercoaster.

Hit this yesterday. Note the trigger amount.
Usual fucking shit show.
Still not as bad as bonanza falls. Currently just over £1,000 without a single feature on 80p stake. Hit limits at both available max RTP casinos. That battle will have to be adjourned until the beginning of next month.

Dead bonuses don't bother me much, it's part of the game. 3 dead bonuses for me is better than none at all!
Tbh I was a little bothered by one of them not hitting the 100x average but since I've started playing bonanza more "go with the flow" than chasing the bonus I just look at it like it is what it is
I tried falls after seeing you mention it but didn't get a bonus on it. Then i did bonus buys on the demo to see what the difference was and I didn't like the bonus round pusher mechanic at all compared to the original.
Is it a 'project' for you or just another bonanza to play? Or do you like the pusher mechanic?
You reckon your hot streak has come to an end? You got to admit if thats what it was and not some kind of wizardry then you had a hell of a run!
I’m not gonna lie….
I DID still get a bonus but it literally returned £1.10
From there absolutely dry
I even watched daz a latest video and my god not a single hit, tease, bonus… nothing.
Defo went dry for now
Bonanza is one of the few games that has max RTP almost everywhere still.
Unless you don't want to play at other places or have an overall play limit you don't want to go over
Yeah fuck bonanza I’m staying away from it just now something isn’t right
The spins are way awful and stranger than normal
Dead spin central not even any base hits at all
My 10 just lasted 3minutes, that’s a fkn record lol.
Awful piece of shit just now honestly avoid it for next few weeks

I was referring to Bonanza falls in my post when talking about reaching limits. All other places I can play don’t have it on max.

Erm I’ve probably had better ‘average’ bonuses on the game but it’s so tilting sometimes in what it drops or if they fall through etc etc.
So many dead spins and the usual crap ways can obv fuck the bonus with or without the pusher.
But this one can do a max ways in the bonus and if you get a line up with that and some coins going it can go off.
The last few days have obviously been a disgrace. Worse I’ve ever seen. The problem with falls is that the base game is shite. So if you don’t hit bonuses you get seriously whacked just like I did!!
Brutal beating I’ve taken on everything I’ve touched over last last week. Punishment for daring to run well on top of pinching some value at Cheltenham.
I’d have made £15k on one race if bold endeavour had won but of course it didn’t!!!
Oh yeah I missed that. Out of curiosity which sites have it on max? I know Slots Temple but I didn't know this game was max anywhere else.
Your hot run definitely seems to have come to an end mate. You could hit another tho just dont't chase it I reckon. Was an amazing run tbh, at least every bad go you have you can still take into account those 1 minute bonuses you were hitting!
If your back to everyone else's experience your going to get too mad if you don't. Happened to me with DoA2 since the start of the year. I rarely get a good run on it now but last year I was bonusing it like you were bonanza. Couldn't understand all the "DoA2 is so hard to bonus" comments I saw. I can nowadays tho
It's very different, the bonuses seemed to take forever with the pusher on every spin. Maybe I wasn't expecting it to be like that compared to fast and furious original.
You could have seen quite a few bonanza bonuses if your bet had won...or 5000 if you got thediro luck!
Game is really off for sure.
£100 at All British Casino, no bonus (not surprised) but I only managed 237 spins before busting. 57% RTP and I saw the L only 3 times, 2x reel 6 with no tumble 1x a tumble in with no space for bonus still.
What a dead session that was, one of the worst (and fastest) the game has eaten the balance!
Going to give Slots Temple a go see if what's what.

Was a strange session but Slots Temple came through in the end.
Bonus on Spin 329 after a GOL with a tumble into D (the first one I saw all evening). Literally 556 spins I didn't have a single slow spin GOL tease.
Had 1 reel 6 L no tumble, 3 L tumble in with no space for D and 2 GOL with no tumbles. Was down to about £30 of £100 when I hit 6OAK red 6 ways for £45 and shortly after that bonus.
Somehow got my deposit back from here and the £100 pissed away on ABC and £59 of chump change thrown in too.
Still having a bad week overall but +£59 feels like a win compared to - £200 more.

Gave this a go after my usual slots. First go exactly 5 mins in hit bonus 127x. Second go was way more fun. Hit a 40x almost immediately so had a free run, game played really well yoyoing that 40x for 20 mins down to 3x left of it then I hit a bonus. 54x, Nothing special but was a 'free' go at it. Played on for a bit but I got bored and left with 45x profit.
Edit: Gave it a third go with the 45x but no bonus this time. Still got 40 mins game time with it, I was 10x down after 20mins then it slowly ate the rest over the next 20 mins with a few GOL but no teases. Got a 'free' night of slots at least. The other slots were dead so didn't finish up but didn't lose either!

I've noticed the last few bonuses I've had have given a hell of a lot of dead spins. Had couple with 17 spins too but they had a lot of dead spins as well. What's annoying is bonanza has so many more opportunities with the megaways to hit even a small tumble that when you see dead spin after dead spin its like wtf!
It's more disappointing with bonanza as well cos the bonus is so volatile to land. I just had one on DoA2 train heist with 0 wilds landing but I just laughed as it's probably the second time I've seen it and the bonuses aren't as hard to get most of the time.

I’ve had about 10 train heists, multiple if not most of them all 0 wilds and they return about 0.70pence.
It’s actually got to a point I just select high noon constantly now lol, think I’ve filled the green bar maybe twice at the top and yet NOTHING ever connects, had the fkr upto 27x and still couldn’t hit a damn thing.
As for bonanza?
Dead spin city and the worse bonus rounds ever.
Just got 1 there on Xmas bonanza on a 0.40p bey and again returned £5.70
The fact that again it’s one of those “here’s what you COULD have won!”.
Tax season incoming slots turned the fk down lol
That's unbelievable mate. I've had loads of dead bonuses on it but I always get at least some wilds but no winlines, I've honestly only had 0 wilds maybe 2/3 times now.
I'm definitely going to stick to my 25x strategy on bonanza from now on and just see how it goes. Last night I played 45x over 40 mins but regretted not leaving when I was only 10x down after 20 mins because I had the feeling no bonus would land but ignored it to prove it! Need to just look at it like if my lucks in its in.
Around 5 mins in I hit this 100x diamonds! Planned to give it 25x to try and get the bonus. Then the base game kept popping off with 5x-20x wins.
Ended up trying to chase the bonus for another 25 mins or so before leaving with 80x. I'd have been too annoyed to try and chase the bonus and play it all back when it might only return 100x or at worse even lower.

I'm sure its been mentioned once or twice on here that the average bonus trigger is one in 460 spins, could be wrong but reasonably confident on this one.
Then I heard on the grapevine, or was it last night in bed, who knows?
If you trigger on EXACTLY 460 spins, regardless of bet size, you will hit the advertised and elusive 14,000x
Honest

More Turkey buy is 40x, Chilli 50x, Bonanza 90x
In theory More Turkey and Extra Chilli have better base game hits as there's less juice in the bonus. They also bonus more frequently but they can (and 100% will) give you multiple sub 10x in a row.

Turkey and chill are very different, IMO, and I find turkey much harder to bonus than chilli, and feature feels much more volatile on turkey, but I don’t have enough data on turkey to properly compare, although recently chilli does seem to be playing more like turkey in the bonus? Insert tin foil hat here.
Also I have seen bonus buys for 40x on chilli? think there was two versions. The 50x one could give +4’s on the trigger, the 40x can’t.
But remember just because the bonus buy version is 40x don’t mean the non bonus version is worth the same, the math could be completely different.

More Turkey is way more volatile. I've had runs of 10 bonuses in a row where not a single one has actually paid the buy cost (40x). Even then I still come ahead sometimes because the base game is much more willing to throw out huge hits even without max megaways
Extra Chilli some versions also have a coin feature where you get random coins when spinning that go towards the bonus cost and when you've built up the bonus cost from the coins you get a 'free' bonus. This does however mean some amount of RTP will be going towards this so you might find yourself trapped into completely paying off a bonus to get it (only for it to then pay 5x).

I forgot about them tbh! Bit annoyed as today I hit a 50x and 40x in bonanza pretty early and tried to chase the bonus but failed. DoA2/JATB were a bit dead again tonight so should have given them a spin instead.
The base game being more generous I haven't experienced when I've tried Extra Chilli and More Turkey. That's why I given bonanza more of a go. I found the base game played much better than the other two in terms of throwing in decent wins quite frequently, the other two have been less generous for me.
The bonuses have been easier to hit on them than bonanza in my experience but then the gamble feature annoys me even though I'm not sure how much it affects the outcome between 8-12 spins. Maybe gambling to 20-24 might give a better return but I don't gamble it at all. I tried it twice with early bonuses I got and lost both times so never did it again.

It's so lonely without all the other Bonanza regulars posting here.
I'm still at it like a fool.
Game has been acting so strange for me on All British Casino lately. Been so dry there before the last few days.
After that fast bonus yesterday that paid 8x I continued on ofc and busted my £100. Came back today took my £10 lossback back to Bonanza and 3rd or 4th spin in yet another bonus wtf! I think that's 4 or 5 bonuses in 600 odd spins. Not had a run like it. Sadly the last 3 bonuses have sucked and could have all just been base game hits instead.
This one did a little something, even graced me with a retrigger though there were ofc 5 dead spins right after...
Still at least I didn't have to deposit today and got back the £100 from yesterday.

I'll give you an update mate so you don't feel like those "where is everybody" ads from the 90s
I gave bonanza 4 sessions tonight, no bonus but I checked the RTP after the last one and had 93% from the base game total inc. Extra Chilli. Was very fun now I'm not caring about the bonus. Out of the 4, 3 were well over 30 minutes and one was dead ate 25 spins so I left after 4 mins I think!
The first one I left up as I got bored of spinning. Gave Extra Chilli a go as well, it gave me a 20x I think but I prefer bonanza tbh so left when I was 15x down. In the end it cost me around 40x of my balance but I got a lot of play and my usual slots played well.
Gonna have a break this week, I've been getting a bit bored of the slots tbh, only got 3 I like! Had a feeling tonight would be fun. Always goes like that for me, when I don't care what happens I get decent play
Good luck, hope you hit a big one
Edit: Don't know if you know the ad:

*pops head in*
Dont worry, still alive to!
Ill be honest ive had a bit of a bad experience "Loss of family member" so ive been to numb to play lately, and i honestly promised myself i wouldnt touch it til the end of the month because my tinfoil hat is going red on my head and its saying "tHeRe sucKiNg aLl tHe MonEy For tAx!!"
So im literally just waiting it out just now to see how this all pans out with slots in general.
Again - i dont think im alone when i share this sentiment but Casino/Gambling in the UK over the next month or so is about to become incredibly dense and tense purely due to the adjustments coming in which is basically gonna rot majority of RTP around the slots now.
I suspect... "again i know ill be shot down", but i honestly believe there slowly and silently already adjusting RTP on games, and i truly believe Bonanza is one of them "even if advertised at 96% etc" its not UNCOMMON to know the sneaky slight adjustments but Bonanza just isnt playing the same, ive noticed it from my own games lately and even watching Dazza still throwing up the odd video, the change has been incredibly noticeable.
Im scared guys, the slots are becoming.....a love lost story for the ages!
10 years from now, 81% is the now average and better known RTP around slots and the new kids will talk about us...
*Man those guys back in the day must have been living the dream when playings the slots!*

I decided to have a last go and this always happens to me when I'm genuinely going to take a break. DoA2 hit a couple bonuses and got the extra spins on train heist on one, just under 100x. Next JATB no bonus but played ok for 10 mins but ate 25x. Decided to play bonanza until I had a fiver left and call it a night. I was just happy to hit the bonus, down to last spin then this happened:

Sorry for your loss mate.
I'm going to give it a break but I just realised reading this that depending on when I play again the new taxes will be in so I'll have to check the RTP before I do.
I just checked a few bonanza reviews and they all say 96% so I don't think it has a lower version.
I have seen all the new slots being released are all under 94.5%, saw one that was 91.2%. Hopefully they will leave a lot of the older less popular slots alone and be happy with their 4% cut.
Honestly mate I was just happy to see the bonus. Last spin I thought nice 150x, then the next cascade did it again!Bonanza rewards those who remain faithful
Since I started the 25x thing with it I really enjoy it more. If I hit that I just leave and try again later. Chasing the bonus just make it annoying, I've even been leaving it alone if I get in profit, bored or tired, usually around 30 mins. It can give a hell of a lot of playtime for 25x.
I think it must be the most consistent slot to have given me long sessions before hitting that 25x, but then 70% RTP in the base game makes it a really good slot for my play style.
Might have to ask the mods to change my name to 3Slots

Unfortunately bonanza does have a lower RTP version of 94% and it’s live at a few scummy casinos.
