Read our BTG review and find out where to play BTG slots
Yeah indeed it did. Despite how well the session went overall taken in a vacuum the 3 bonuses combined underperformed by a bit compared to their RTP deducted buy costs.
I'm due a good 300x + bonus, it's been ages.
What are some of your best base/bonus x wins?

I had 1080x once in the base game, max ways. Weirdest spin I ever saw. I have had three or four around the 400x mark, 8 ways of 60AK diamonds twice (once on £20!!!) and one of 9's not max ways.
In feature, 3628x and 3560?x (from memory the second one, it was slightly less than the first which i can 100% recall!)
Once had around 2550x with a mental kings pile-up in the bonus on £2, the 3628x was also on £2.
The last pic gets things into perspective.

just do what this other guy called dazza gee on youtube does, he records himself playing bonanza and gets lucky almost every video. you won't believe how many bonuses he gets.
Those base hits are impressive!
I thought you might have hit around double the bonus ones, maybe around 8000x or more. Yours are impressive by themselves but it shows that the stated 26,000x max win on BTG site must be impossible.
The confusing thing is that the marketing file shows 10,000x for both base and what I assume is bonus.
It's why I asked because there's no way that bonanza can return so many bonuses around 100-300x for everyone and realistically return even 10,000x with the 26% in the bonus.
You've proved it for me the way you bonus it and have played it from release. Might as well be renamed dunanza!
I was checking the game sheets for the DoAs/JATB and the base/bonus RTP split is almost exactly the same as what is stated for bonanza on here (near 70 base, around 26 bonus).
DoAs/JATB bonuses will be proper crap most of the time. It makes sense though as they have hit their stated max wins. DoAs plenty of times from info on here.
Bonanza should have had two bonus choices similar to DoA2, the current one and one that is usually terrible but could hit mega/max wins. Would have been universally loved if it did I reckon.
Interestingly Rainbet shows the biggest wins on all slots it has, the biggest mult they’ve had for Bonanza is 7943.7x
Good to know. Close enough to my 8000x guess!

Somebody once posted on here years ago a £1200 base game win on bonanza from a 20p stake with all the ways active, They hit it on Sky Vegas!
Ive never seen a bigger base game hit on bonanza since!

Christ that’s an absolutely mental base game hit

New Slot Announcement Post in thread 'Bonanza by Big Time Gaming'
I had a 5400 x hit on 20ps with an all the ways win that had a shed load of rubies. Also had a 4400x bonus win on 20ps a while back, those have been my biggest wins and these days I am lucky if i hit a x 250 win on it whether bonus or base game.
I remembered seeing a few of the big wins when I flicked through the earlier pages on here. I'm sure I saw a post where you mentioned a mega hit in the base someone got. Think it was red gems for 7000x maybe.New Slot Announcement Post in thread 'Bonanza by Big Time Gaming'
Thought I would ask you about yours as you play this exclusively it seems so would give the best general view.
Plus it's probably nice to reminisce about your greatest hits on the most controversial slot that plays so well for you nearly all the time!

I have no recall of hitting a 4000x win on bonanza back then even though it is one of my biggest x wins. How many pages would this thread be at if it had not been reduced to 500 posts per page?New Slot Announcement Post in thread 'Bonanza by Big Time Gaming'

90x less the house edge so your expected return is 86.4x.
Your average over those five features is 53.2x so a bit on the low side but hardly a blip in terms of expected variance.
With the amount of play you've done on Bonanza I'd bet a million pounds that your average feature pay is within margin of error of 86.4x.
48.3x on 6 but yeah
And you're right it's probably within 10x of the expected range, maybe on the lower rather than upper range. Still doesn't make me feel any better in the short term.
Edit -
And in keeping with my amazing sub 50x running average here's another 43x... 6 in a row under 50x is criminal.

oh a shite day you will get shite features (bonanza and christmas bonanza) that's when you can't win. play another day instead of brute forcing that day to get into profit land.
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Next bonus a 5x
Where the fuck is the hit holy fucking shit. 7 bonuses in a row on a 90x buy game all paying under 50x?
What kind of fucked up shit is this. 42x running average on my last 8 bonuses now. No wonder I'm down £1000 in the last 2 days fuck me.

At 50 posts per page and 472 pages, that's 23,600 posts to get to the ultimate logical conclusion.
Haha. Annoyed is putting it mildly.
Nothing quite as infuriating as this silly game eh?
Also stupid bonus paid decently so I guess I'm not quiting just yet. Also kept spinning and hit another bonus... let's see
Edit: 105x. Lucky final spin because otherwise (minus 15x before bonus) was aheading for 35x in the bonus after a retrigger too.

How many features do you bloody get? It's ridiculous.
Have you got a version that triggers with 3 scatters?
*Stares in Scottish....*
Holy fkn Moly pot kettle black right there!
Ive watched ALLLLL your videos and some with the mrs and i swere to god, she even says the same shit...
*Have you got his login details for bonanza aswell or something?*
YOU are the bonanza king, swere to god if i didnt know better id say you were affiliated with BTG because ive never seen someone rattle through £4 bets from 250 and climb it to 500+ almost 85% of there *posted* sessions then SPIN half of it away again ONLY to recover it miraculously into a £1500 win!
Its because of YOU im stuck in this shit show with the rest of ye!
You by now good sir, should have a "Bonanza Certified" tag on your name, because noone in over a decade of posting/playing this slot has ever came close to the sessions i see you pull and quite frankly, its almost admirable if there were an actual *skill* involved in slots, because some how you always make it look so easy!
(Can appreciate i know you have had your bad runs and can only imagine the non posted offline ones though!)
Aint seen anyone stick up a 7k win in my life other than your ass!
Although i think we can all agree that Bonanza just doesnt quite play to the way it used to, but then no slot does sadly.

I can't remember who asked me to plot some of @dunover features as it was a while ago but as its battle weekend on VS I thought why not.... Here are his last 84 features off youtube, not fully in chronological order but video order as best I could..... Obviously this wont account for any he has played off camera etc so its only a guide.....
Highest feature 508.45x
current ave 97.8x
100x+ 35.7%
Hope thats of some interest to anyone...... any questions fire away and will answer if possible before i delete the data....

I just wish I had kept track of every bonus over time.
I know that I'm probably running within expected variance over the few hundred bonuses I've had but knowing exactly how I'm doing would be great so I could know for sure. I have to be on the lower end of the range, certainly recently has been terrible.
The only silver lining is this recent binge has got me another 1000xp on video slots and 30 days from now should cover me for end of june battle weekend too. I am going to try my absolute hardest to not put any real money into a slot between now and the end of July. Then I'll decide once the July lineup is announced.
But I'm just so frustated that I was up £1700 this month and in 2 stupid days I've wiped most of this out like a retard. Still I suppose up £600 on the month better than down.

Yeah without tracking them you never know where you really are, humans are crap at that lol
when you track you can often see how the trends go and what to expect, even though they all random… right?

God i forgot about that one!
The reaction was absolutely worth it!
Baller hits...
Back in the £10/£20 spin days.....
You have a real knack for labelling the images.
I check image name and then time to bonus, don't even really check the return on your ones unless its called 'ok i suppose'.
Just noticed @lukey141 is pretty good at it too, bit more to the point tho

They advertise at 96% rtp but it feels like 90% most of the time

what a run that is, thats more than a 3rd of all features are 100x+, way above average with the 97.8x too. what is this sorcery?
- Joined
- May 22, 2012
No sorcery, just selective data you pulled. How many of them in percentage terms are shitters, laughably small? How many are 1000x, or even 500x?
How remarkable is a mere 8x bet above the average 90x across a small sample of 85 features?
Replace the outlier, 500x, with a shitter and you're just a tiny bit above average expected return.
There really is nothing to see there.
I mean, look at @ChopleyIOM 's Final Countdown average feature return lol
This slot and thread should be a case study for psychologists, because it has a remarkable propensity to blind people to the truth and irrationally skew their perspective on logical thought, deviation and maths.
I say this jokingly, but it's almost like watching 10 kids at a birthday party open their party bags and then start squabbling because one thinks another's bag looks 'fuller' and when they all open their pack of collection cards one of them has a 'shiny' much to the disgust of the others.

TBH thats typical for me as well regarding the 100x+ and my friend as well so I think thats quite average?
My stats on a significantly higher sample of 845 are:-
100x+ (275) 32.5% Friends stats are 33.1% on 1017 bonuses
Ave 104.16x
And for the 100th time just because the bonus buy version of bonanza is 90x does not mean the bonus average is 90x on the non bonus buy version!

Agreed the data I posted of your last 84 features seems quite typical and is close to even bigger sample sizes I have, so nothing really out of the ordinary at all.

my Bonanza 100x+ only (49) 24.62% in 199 bonuses. avg 83.42x (only 2 times 500x+ and both of those times under 650x, (bonus #29 and #126). none of it was with bonus buys and all of it with 96% RTP version yet my RTP is close to just 93%. best base win just over 300x.
while with Christmas Bonanza my 100x (5) 23.81% in 21 bonuses, avg 136x (2 times 500x+ and 1 of those over 1000x, (bonus #6 and #10). none of it was with bonus buys and all of it with 96% RTP version yet my RTP is 120%. best base 110x.

I’m already quite sure what your answer will be but will ask anyway, are those stats all from one casino, or multiple casinos?

but what can you say about my Bonanza stats?

What do you want me to say? Lol
They seem a bit low but typical for multiple casino play, not massively out compared to other peoples stats.
Your bonanza 500x+ rate is nearly identical to mine at 1%
Your bonanza stats would suggest you’re due a few slightly better performing ones, but not guaranteed as it’s still just variance, and don’t want to be accused of tin foil hattery lol
