New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[dunover]

Or so I thought. Only 6 minutes after the last bonus mentioned above GOLD struck again.

This time a natural gold with 1 tumble that added +5+5. Heart racing I braced myself for a soul crushing bonus.

But joy of all joys it paid and how it fucking paid. And yes, the final 10 spins paid 250x combined with a 16 up to 27x multi. Honestly thought it was going to drop a monster in 1 of those spins rather than a lot of tiny hits. There was a purples tease on like 23x multi but that was obviously asking too much as it would have paid another 1600x by itself lol.

My first ever 1000x on this stupid game. What a rollcoaster of a session.View attachment 221748View attachment 221749View attachment 221750View attachment 221751

Congrats!

So I, apparently the master of Bonanza spawn, got just over 50% of that for 32 spins. That is absolutely disgusting, 1083x.

That has tilted me. I have had ONE 1000x in the past 4 years.

Whatever you do, don't raise to £2 and get another winning session otherwise the kidnapped-by-aliens brigade will say all sorts about you!!

 

[toslotornot]

@lukey141 one question why do you always play it on 1 quid (and more turkey), have you found it plays better on that stake? or is it cause if you get a win you want it to be on at least 1.00 and not something like 0.20 or 0.40.. you must have your reason for it but it means you never save by playing on lower stake and then raising after hundreds of spins but then miss out on a large base win if you were playing on lower.

It’s unlikely he’ll go on a 5 year winning run tbf.

1000x’s on bonanza are a rare breed indeed. I’ve had more on prags but played about 20% of the spins.

Thought I’d try some old school after nothing but brains on bonanza and headed to raging rhino.

£500 limit blitzed on 80p and £1.20 for just 3 features which were all BG. Gee thanks for that entertainment.

In all my slotting career I’ve never known a bad luck run so fucking brutal and long lasting.

I was close to the edge a few days ago after bonanza but that on rhino - a game of which probably 50% of its features are 10 fucking X may have sent me past the point of no return.

Pretty sure they mentioned before in a few pages back when i was talking to them about "stake" difference, and its exactly as you speculated.

They play the £1 purely for the factor of hitting a feature on anything less would be more tilting if say you just so happen to get that GOOD fkn win, but its only on 0.20p stake - its the left over feeling of "omg what would that have been on £1!"

Tbh i used to play bonanza at 0.80ps when i first started and whats stupid is, i was still averaging the same payouts per bonus lol.

 

[lukey141]

Yeah diro is right. I can't bring myself to play a game I play normally at a lower stake other than maybe down to 80p but even that is very unlikely.

Imagine if I'd been betting 20p and got that 1000x when I've done well over 100k spins on the game at £1. I'd feel sick at basically throwing away £800 rather than happy that I just won £200.

I'm a low stakes gambler but not a micro stakes one. Getting a 100x and only seeing £20 doesn't do it for me. £1 is where I personally consider it meaningful in that 1000x is £1000 and max wins start to be serious money.

Didn't realise it was as rare as that, though after hammering away for 9 months and having a previous best of around 800x I had an idea.

I've had multiple 1000x + from the usual big providers even Play and Go despite overall putting in way less hours than I have on Bonanza. BTG really makes you work for it! Though I'm pretty certain even with the 1000x hits I'm down worse on those providers than Bonanza.

You're right about the bet raise. I was very tempted to up it to £2 and play down to £1000. I started to do this but literally the first spin on £2 paid £33 bringing my balance to a bit over £1250 which I decided was round enough to leave me up exactly £800 and I withdrew it all.

The question now is what next. I said I wanted to see a 1000x and I did. Do I really just stop now? I want to see more turkey do something too but the two times I've tried to chase that in the last few months I've ended up losing £1000 in a 2-3 days each time. I know people shit on Bonanza Falls but maybe I should at least give it a go myself.

test it out with a small deposit depending on how it plays then you decide if you keep depositing more for the session. are there any good base hits happening, are there some signs such as GOL's happening or is it totally dead and sending the balance down.

 

[lukey141]

But the reality is the game doesn't have patterns other than the RTP

Sure we can interpret the spins as the slot being 'hot' or 'cold' but it's not a living thinking being. It's simply putting out a display based on a randomised seed or number generator. The bet size doesn't matter.

Anyway you're missing the point. Gambling is supposed to be entertainment and I have gambled way too many years to be excited spinning micro bets. Now I know that from a financial point of view if someone really wants to gamble the smart option is min bet so they lose the least but I'm not smart.

If I'm only betting 20p I'd literally rather just mess around on demo mode doing like feature spins and super buys and all the fun stuff that are banned in the UK with real money

Took me 2 years to get 1000x on bonanza and I hammered it almost daily!!

I wish I’d left it after my 1st one!!!

In almost 9 years I’ve only had 2 features that barely crept over 2000x my biggest wins on the game period.

Again other slots from other providers have given me a handful of wins bigger than 2000x for way way less involvement.

My advice is leave it the fuck alone now as you’ve ran relatively well on the game in general and hit the 1000x without costing you a fortune in comparison to what it could of cost.

 

[lukey141]

Haha well I've scratched the itch but we all know it will come back. I've already been playing way less than previously anyway. If only other providers were max RTP at more than just Slots Temple. It's the main reason I'm stuck on these few games as most sites still have them at full.

 

[brianmon]

30 freespins from Slots Temple. produced about £3.50. which I continued playing with, which produced this after a couple of minutes, and with a 28p balance

492x

@lukey141
Great win

Unless you really enjoy the bonanza games for their own sake I'd agree with the long time players that it's probably better to move on to some other slots and give this a spin occasionally if you hit a nice win or something.

There's two veterans saying how rare it is and from @dunover reply to me previously his biggest win is under 4000x so you can look at it like you reached 25-50% of the veteran players best in a lot less time.

Could just call it as close to realistic 'max win' as it can be!

You might not churn your deposit as much on other decent slots but you'd probably hit more 300x-500x wins, which also seem so rare on bonanza.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Lukeys win was obv a software glitch which the BTG brigade have now chipped out.

Max win in latest update now stands at 236x.

It's so strange that no one has got anywhere near the max win in 10 years.

Yours and dunovers best wins are not even 15% of the stated max win of 26,000x.

Any idea what the theoretical odds of hitting it are?

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

There is no ‘max win’ as such on
Bonanza. The game itself isn’t capped.

Some casinos cap individual wins on each slot. But given uk players can only stake £5 max I’m sure bonanza can’t get anywhere near said caps.

 

[lukey141]

I'm not sure how one could go about figuring out the largest hit that's legit happened. I wouldn't necessarily trust a random screenshot or youtube video and most casino's sadly don't include this info.

So the only real solid info is looking at 'stake' which does track big £ and X wins on all their games. Nearly 2 years ago someone hit a 7316x.

After that 2nd is only 4071x and 3rd 3645x so it drops off massively. Though worth pointing out the game sees basically no play at all there at this point. I also don't know how far back their tracking goes but doesn't seem like it dates back to when the game released and was no doubt being hammered by 10's of thousands of gamblers daily.

The thing with Bonanza is you can see how it can hit big, it just chooses not to.

Like take my bonus last night. If I had got just 8 ways of purples which is not unrealistic in of itself but 6oak at 27x multi and suddenly we're talking about over 10,000x on that 1 hit alone. Even only 4 ways is 5000x.

So unlike games that advertise 10,000x, 20,000x or more and you're left scratching your head as to how it's even possible this game certainly has the ability.

Someone somewhere on this planet since this game came out must have hit a 20,000x for sure. If you get enough +5 to start and retriggers in the bonus there's no way you're having 40 + spins and not coming away with a massive win.

On the BTG site the bonanza page shows 26,000x max win but the 'marketing pack' doesn't have odds for anything like other providers game sheets do.

EDIT: The file in the marketing pack shows a table with some stats X12,000 for both base game and maximum.

Also I just hit a GOLD+5+5 for the first time and thought I was going to be following @lukey141 to 1000x+ tonight. Returned 87x

@dunover got GOLD+5+5 and +10 and ended up with half what you did!

I would take this thread as the best info on this game tbh. I reckon if there had been anything near the max win (or huge win if it really has no max) someone here would have mentioned it.

Plus I think BTG would have loved to let the forum know as they got a lot of shit from some of the users on many of the old threads I've seen.

I think that's what the controversy is around a 14,000x win that is supposedly the best win anyone has got.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Yeah 40+ spins could still easily produce sub 200x

Obv games that have 10,000 20,000 and 50,000 x wins etc are normally games with max win scripts programmed into the game.

Bonanza doesn’t have that, hence why it can’t touch or get near some of the nutty wins other providers can produce.

Or get close to the likes of DOA2.

I said a while back that I’d much rather it was like the 5,000x max win prags which have that pre scripted max win feature.

I’m sure between all the sad cunts like me and others on this forum over the years would have seen several with all the spins we’ve all put through it.

Yeah I'm under no illusions that I got lucky with that hit even with the 22 starting spins but to not even get the 90x 'buy cost' back on such a rare trigger is insulting.

Also if the game has a theoretical max win of 26,000x then there probably is a max win script somewhere. The odds of it must just be so unlikely that no one will get it in realistic playtime.

I can just imagine similar to a full screen wild reels on like Zeus vs Hades you just get a spin with a boatload of diamonds on a mediumish multi and it's massive overkill but hits the 26kx limit.

what do you mean 14000x is best, have you seen the 22314x ?

 

[lukey141]

I just googled this and I think I know what you're talking about. I believed it too seeing it just now. I scrolled down looking to see if he said anywhere how on earth he got the hit and he said it was an april fools joke lol

 

[Kroffe]

This is correct.
But i still consider myself a world record holder for that win even tho i made it using paint3d.

I think this is supposed to be the biggest x-stake win achieved on Bonanza, but the thing is it is a re-creation from BTG themselves and not uploaded by a 'real' person. And it just happened to occur on the site that the streamer uploading the vid was affiliated with.
Lets just say that BTG does not have the best history when it comes to uploading unbelievable wins, it could very well be just as fake as my record win.

If there had been a bunch of other 10,000x+ wins documented over the years it would be one thing, but when theres nothing even close to it uploaded it makes it kind of hard to believe, at least for me.

 

[brianmon]

There are probably hundreds of thousands of Bonanza players worldwide, the majority of whom are unlikely to take screenshots. So there could have been many huge unreported wins over the years.

Casinomeister members who play Bonanza are only a tiny tiny fraction of all Bonanza players.
So nothing can be judged by screenshots uploaded here.

That 14,000x win had to be reported to BTG and a replay requested.
BTG didn't just 'detect' it and then issue it to a streamer

Given the extreme popularity of Bonanza, and its age, I would have expected to see something out there about sizeable wins. CM is just a tiny fraction of the gambling world. Think YouTube/streamers/other gambling related websites/social media. You can find evidence of big wins on many other slots out there, and many aren’t as popular or as old as Bonanza.

 

[brianmon]

But it's still just a tiny fraction of players who would take a screenshot and even less who would post it anywhere.

Btw, I'm not defending BTG in any way

That's a crazy hit and pretty much how I imagined the monsters would be. 1 Hit wonders.

But the fact BTG gave this replay to a streamer makes me sceptical. I believe it's a real game round but what's to stop BTG simulating several million bonuses until they got this 1 in particular and then pretended it was from a real person.

Well, nothing really would stop them from doing something like that.
And like i said they do have a history of fabricating wins to hype up a slot, i dont remember the exact details but i think they created fake screenshots of Dragon born wins around the time that slot was released.
The posts are probably still around on the this forum.

I do agree with Brianmon that the vast majority of players do not participate in forums and/or record their wins to post anywhere online, but i still find it odd that there are not more examples of wins at least close to that 14,000x+ hit floating around on the internet.

Kim in that video (Swedish so he must be honest and a good guy!) got the replay to upload on Casino Grounds after it was reported by a genuine player. Him and Tobias took me out for a meal and drinks on the CG company credit card in Amsterdam several years ago then we went up to the Holland casino, during which he assured me it was real but yes, BTG had to receive the spin number from the casino/player and re-run the same exact feature to make the video.

Developers have had this facility for years, but in more recent times they've started to integrate it into the game interfaces so players themselves can re-run any big wins a la Hacksaw, NLC and Pragmatic etc.

IIRC on YT there is a monster red gems FS hit from Bonanza somewhere which was around 9-10,000x??

To be fair, if you asked someone that was promoting a fake win if the win was fake, the answer would probably be 'no' even if the win was indeed fake.

Its not like im saying i have any sort of evidence that the win was fabricated, im just saying that i wouldnt be surprised if it was.
Partially due to their history of shady marketing tactics, but also because of how few proper big wins you can find online despite how popular and by now how old the slot is.

 

[lukey141]

Extremely annoying bonus.

Had purples connect for 50x then it tumbled in LD and then +5. I Just knew the bonus would flop. Sure it enough it did, those 17 spins paid another 18x urgh. Worst part was it took me 1048 spins and nearly 2 hours to get!

 

[2Slots]

Seems like BTG are let down by their marketing hype and lack of game sheet data.

They have some great games imo. All the bonus rounds on the ones I've played are well thought out even though some of the base games can be boring for me so I only play the ones I like now.

Megaways is a great mechanic when done properly. Bonanza and Beef Lightning have implemented it the best from the BTG ones I have played.

I hated it at first because I probably played the franchise ones and it's easy for the mechanic to seem like a gimmick when it's not used to it's full potential.
