New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[Nate]

There was a thread years ago with the stats on some extreme sessions run in demo mode.

IIRC... the best Multiplier was a 5000x (Loss), 1k on 20p spins.

For the recent additions to Bonanza's ever-growing list of losers, it's a shit slot. OK for the odd casual play. I have beaten this horse to death. Base game and feature buy versions. Overall, I am horribly in the -ve with BTG, and I don't ever think that will change.

Couldn't you just reload the game when a bonus drops, wait a few minutes or seconds, then start the bonus?
The elapsed time resets, and the bonus carries over.

In fact, if you reload just before the bonus-winning spin is completed. On some versions, the game will give an 'unfinished game' message, when reloading, replay that last spin and go into the bonus screen, showing a net gain in balance from that last spin as well as a low amount opf elapsed time

Well you could do that but why do people need to lie about how quick they are getting bonuses??

No idea about that. But it is the internet. So odd things can happen

 

[Kroffe]

Such disgusting spawn, not seen a win that high in 2+ years and how on earth do you get a 23x multiplier on a 17-spin feature???

Shame about the blue gem, would have smashed 1000x, been about 1400-ish.

And how do you get a massive win last spin?? My version doesn't do that, ever.

You cannot have used my login, your wins would be capped for years at 5-600x.

I think it would have been my first ever 1000x+ win, unless im forgetting about a win somewhere i think my best is a 900x-something from the basegame years ago while wagering a bonus.
But to be fair i dont play Bonanza very often, usually only when i have gotten a good hit on some other game and feel like i have some money to waste.

The win was probably taking stake into account, so for you that would only have been like a 40x win since your bet is 20 times higher than mine.
Thats why it looks like im getting bigger hits when using your login details.

if you had to guess how many real money bonuses you had on Bonanza?.. (not including Christmas or Falls) cause I've had 203 and still not broken the 1000x+, but on the Christmas version it took just 6 bonuses to get a 1000x.
Also with Bonanza doing demo bonus buys and demo natural bonuses still no 1000x+ so if we include all those with the 203 then we looking probably I dunno 400 or 500+ bonuses without 1000x+ (and that goes for base game too no 1000x+). (closest was 974.5x in demo, not a bonus buy).

Oh...honestly no idea, a very broad guesstimate would be that its somewhere in the 100-500 range.
I used to play it quite a bit back in the day while we could still get bonuses here in Sweden, now not so much.
From the pictures ive seen in this thread it seems like you have as good a chance to get a 1000x+ win from the basegame as you do from a bonus.
Also, i have not played any other version, i was going to try Falls a bit but saw that it was on 94% rtp so i skipped it.

Im sure its all just coincidental, but Bonanza has been playing much better for me now that i only play it. once or twice a month.

Ironically the thing that confirmed for me that the visual design is the most impressive thing about bonanza is after I asked about the best wins.

The recent discussion around the couple of near 1000x bonuses is really interesting to me. Considering 1000x+ wins are posted quite frequently in the screenshots threads and at most they get maybe a couple of comments and some likes and WTG it's amazing that one lands here and it could generate a page or two of proper discussion.

I'm at the casual play stage now but more like give it 15x and leave if the base game doesn't do anything.

There are many people who simply love the game. The lack of 1000x + wins won't change that. People live in the hope that banging away will eventually change something - like finally seeing that (non-existent) big win.

It isn't going to happen. I think the mechanic and the thrill of landing the D is something BTG nailed. From experience, it's so satisfying. I don't think any other slot gives the same thrill when it bonuses.

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Followed by the same disappointment!!

 

[thediro]

It honestly does baffle me how we all became so deluded by these scamming clowns though, like honestly...

There slots play....like absolute dog shit - they really do and it hasnt changed for over a decade now.

BTG are literally following/watching this thread constantly with absolute joy and laughter at the mundane practices of people trying to replicate something that does not and will not ever exist.

Honestly guys - i get that you all are gonna throw your money at "slots" in general but Jesus Christ stop throwing so much of it at BTG - they honestly dont deserve it, there pure trash and have proven to be absolute wafflers, liars and fabricators of there slot payouts and possibilities.

dishonesty runs rampant through out everything BTG is apart of and not just here on these forums, but everywhere else to, they have manipulated and fooled so many and at YOUR expense.

Honestly guys - throw your money at any other random fkn slots now days and watch your differences in *luck* and wins cause its certainly worked out well for me since i let Bonanza die out a bit.

Im having much more fun, entertainment, less stresses (Yes ofc im still busting out, but at least im getting decent game plays and lil hits here and there to keep me sufficed)....

Theres nothing and i mean nothing remotely exciting about Bonanza in general lol, that tedium zombie "spin spin spin" in HOPES that you even see a GOL and if you do, good luck getting a cascade to follow with it now days.

The slot plays like trash now days and has defo went down hill and my god this thread is living proof of it.

Burn the money on other slots and use bonanza as a little "now and then" pump and dump.

I can say all this cause unlike you guys, i dont burn anywhere near the deposits you all do so im not exactly *losing thousands* here, but its just honestly insanity at this point to expect anything more than whats been produced over the last 10 years.

This is very true.

It's a visually exciting slot that will never really put you ahead because the bonus frequency is so high and the average return is very average!

It's like DoA2 Train Heist almost all the time but without any other bonus to choose and double the average frequency to land.

People can't complain too much if they are expecting 'huge' wins on a slot that is not designed for that (regardless of the early marketing, it's well known now).

Compare a 5oak sheriff on the DoAs to a 100x base on bonanza and there's a difference. It's great when they land but on bonanza there's a 'wow' aspect because it can be shown in so many different ways.

There slots play....like absolute dog shit - they really do and it hasnt changed for over a decade now.

I got to say that I've found a couple that I like but overall I agree. Most of the ones I played have a worse base game than bonanza and the same hard to hit bonus frequency.

BTG perfected the art of visually interesting slots and great feature designs that have annoying maths models!

Theres nothing and i mean nothing remotely exciting about Bonanza in general lol, that tedium zombie "spin spin spin" in HOPES that you even see a GOL and if you do, good luck getting a cascade to follow with it now days.

You have to be imagining what this is like because when have you ever seen a GOL tease! Your 'spin spin spin' usually drops GOLD in a couple minutes

Or do you actually get a tease as well inside those few minutes!

 

[thediro]

I can’t even begin to describe the amount of times I see GoL without cascades in my plays honestly lol I can average 4 Ls just within the first 5min before that dirty d drops.

My personal stats, and similar to my friends are a 1000x bonus is around 1 in 500 but way too little data to be conclusive.

 

[lukey141]

Starting to take the piss now.

3 in a row that paid under 20x

 

[lukey141]

WTF is going on

19x, 12x, 9x and now a fucking 6x?

You have got to be having a laugh. 34x average over my last 8 bonuses. No wonder I'm getting destroyed again.

 

[lukey141]

Base game hit. Shitload of jacks. Caught me by surprise I'm lying in bed clicking my mouse so wasn't able to screenshot quite fast enough!

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

On the non NYX ones you can go to help section and see the win again.

There is a replay option, not a video but a screen of the reels.

Can do it from bonus as well. Think it shows each spin??

 

[lukey141]

Oh yes I think I see it, it's literally a table with the symbol name or NONE written in it. Is that what you mean?

Reel Display​

0: Jack	1: Jack	2: Jack	3: Jack	4: Ten	5: GreenJewel
6: Jack	7: Jack	8: Jack	9: GreenJewel	10: Jack	11: Ten

[2Slots]

On some of the slots you can click on the win in the 'show history' section in options and it will show you what landed.

 

[lukey141]

Oh, then no. Guess the version I was playing isn't the one. But I've been able to roughly mock it up with the reel data at least

The ways were actually pretty crappy considering what it managed. Reel 6 being max and only 1 jack is unfortunate though. Could have been a monster if it threw in 2 or 3 more lol.

 

[lukey141]

What were the stats people had for +5 triggers and also for a retrigger in the bonus itself?

Must be overdue for both at this point. Been 31 bonuses since my last +5 initial trigger.

Also only had 1 retrigger in the last 35 bonuses.

 

[brianmon]

Rather disappointing
Lucky I had 22 spins to start (GOLD +5 +5), since the first 12 spins were DEAD

View attachment 222325

Disappointing? That is absolutely disgusting 71.05x. How does a 22-spin feature end up at just 8x multiplier? Yes, the familiar dead-spin derby, if this was me and the first 12 were dead, I don't think my monitor would have survived to witness the conclusion. It makes me wonder why developers make this possible.

 

[lukey141]

Yeah that bonus should be illegal.

+5+5 should have a min win script of like 200x AT LEAST with how rare that shit is.

The only silver lining I suppose is it was min bet. I would have been so tilted if I'd got that higher bets.

21 of 203 bonuses had a +5 trigger (so a 17 spin start)... if we include the 22 spin starts then that would make it 22 of 203 started with at least 17.

longest streak of not having a +5 initial trigger is 45 bonuses... (but three of those bonuses had a retrigger),

longest streak of not having a +5 initial and no retrigger is 30.

longest streak of having a bonus that had at least 17 spins is 3. ..

You, so many of us, bonanza:

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I feel I may become very active in this thread.

Think of it as going through the five stages of grief.

You can save yourself a lot of time and money by moving straight to the acceptance stage, namely accepting that Bonanza is a medium variance slot with a very grindy base game that churns a lot of RTP, along with an unusually rare feature trigger that very rarely tops 1000x.

But the heartbeat, the trigger! It’s pretty much all I play

 

[thediro]

Well boys - i ALMOST hit it, the last 7 spins - ALL fkn dead, missed a SEA of red gems at one point but none the less!

Yay!

 

[lukey141]

That's not bad at all. About time you got a good bonus. And you got it within 1 minute down just 5x lol.

 

[thediro]

Yeah done my usual routine - £10 in,

£5 on Megaways normal

then switched to £5 on Xmas bonanza

Xmas is always nicer to me tbh...

 

[lukey141]

Speaking of the lack of +5 triggers.

Pulled a Diro and got one within a few minutes. Was flopping hard until thankfully the last spin made it more respectable.

(I did spin 40 minutes and lost £100 on another site right before)

 

[2Slots]

These are from the last week, Wed (192x), Sat (156x) and Today.

That 192x on Wed I decided to try bonus or bust next time with 150x and failed as usual! Never works for me lol

Tonight I rotated all the other slots and they just kept me floating so I gave it a spin and hit that GOLD+5 for 113x. D+5 double dropped this time. The 156x on Saturday was two cascades in the base for the +5.

 

[lukey141]

Some respectable wins, for bonanza anyway

 

[2Slots]

Some respectable wins, for bonanza anyway

This is why it's become my 'give it a spin if everything else is dead' slot.

It always feels like it's going to be impossible to bonus and when it does land 150x feels like a 'big' win

 

[dunover]

I notice nobody is moaning about me when I'm on a vile run like the last 10 days or so. LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE......

That’s because your ass doesnt know when to STOP FKN SPINNING!

If I go in with 500 and climb to 1000 I’m out

If I go in with 250 and climb to 500 im out

If I manage to pull a spawny +5 from a last spinner winner 0.80p pull and make 90 back just to manually spin into a 400 base hit im out!

Your ass just keeeeeeeps going lol

It doesn't make any difference if you withdraw one day to deposit another, or play out a session for longer as dunover does.

The end result is exactly the same for a random game that has no memory and no future plans.

Your deposits and withdrawals are all effectively part of the same greater body of stats, and that works out exactly the same as it does for dunover - over time you both lose 4% of your stake every time you press the SPIN button.

 

[thediro]

In all honesty the slot is a hot garbage mess in general, still amazes me how over hyped and played it is.

Can’t fucking stand the sight or sound of it anymore, fiver in each one then I’m out, btg clowns don’t deserve the constant top up in all honesty.

Crazy to think how much he would probably be up in general if he variety played the way he used to.

 

[lukey141]

Really not looking forward to the dry spell I'm due

Pulled another Diro

Of my last 4 bonuses 3 came on spin 8, spin 29 and this one spin 15.

Didn't pay especially well but still nice to get. Especially fun because it was on Ladbrokes that has the fast slow initial spin tease. As soon as the top came fast and I saw reel 1 and 2 (with G and no connects) I knew the bonus was guaranteed. It's so nice not having to fret the GOL brick off tease.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I notice nobody is moaning about me when I'm on a vile run like the last 10 days or so. LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE-LOSE......

If ur still playing with winnings from ur meagre limit on your account, how does one consider that a vile run ffs??

All these videos and long sessions off a 62.5x deposit and ur on a vile run??

So fucking tilty.

 

[lukey141]

Well here's the dry spell I expected

1347 spins for a 29x bonus....

I don't know why but Mr Vegas sucks, I know it's all random but the bonuses there always seem so bad.

In my last 3102 spins I've had 3 bonuses and they've paid 18x, 47x and now 29x.

Goddamn

 

[lukey141]

lol wtf.

80 minutes for another bonus, minus £270 and it paid... 29x. Again. What are the chances of the exact same bonus back to back, and more importantly another fucking awful one.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I had a major get out of jail few days ago.

Went £800 in on 80p - £1 snd had only had 1 bonus. I genuinely have no idea how other people who post in this thread don’t see dry spells like this but anyway I had £50 left due to loss limits which I threw in and hit a £460 bonus on a quid.

Cycled around a couple more and luckily pulled £650 back.

A £200 loss obviously but felt like a win.

That’s as as close as I’ve got to a win in 3 horror months.

 

[lukey141]

I don't know how you get so few bonuses. I got a bunch but still lost a healthy chunk today.

So far for the day minus £500 even with 6 bonuses total.

Certainly doesn't feel like a win because after the dry start I got 2 more bonuses within about 200 spins of the first one. Paid 114x GOLD with a retrigger and then 80x for a GOLD+5. Two 17 spins.

I really thought the final one was going to bail me out somewhat. Course it gave me the middle finger with the first 5 spins all dead.

I was down to about £30 and ended up withdrawing £200 so that's something I suppose. At least I'm up for the week still (just). But it could have been so much better if I had just chilled for the rest of the week urgh!

 

[lukey141]

Foxy bingo bailed me out for the day with this 36th spin bonus while I was still up after a base game 35x.

Like an idiot I forgot to screenshot the win but it was 195x allowing me to take £200 profit.

I actually messed up the numbers on my post earlier. I was down £300 not £500. Now down £100 since last night and even to the £ for this afternoon/evening which after thousands of spins is a result I will take for sure!

The last spin of the bonus very nearly gave me a heart attack. 13x multi it came WILD WILD at the top. Obviously was praying for something good but it wasn't amazing. It was Blank on reel 1 (4 or 5 ways), WILD on reel 2, WILD and diamond on 3 and 2 diamonds on 4. So yeah 1 diamond reel 1 and we'd have been laughing as it would have been 520x on top of the 195 *sigh*

 

[2Slots]

Do GOLD drops that also give a decent base game win generally pay nothing? Or is it just the luck I've had the last few days?

For 3 days I've hit two bonuses inside 10 mins and all six have dropped with 15x-25x base wins as well but they've all returned basically nothing in the bonus. The one other bonus that paid 97x dropped with no base win.

Happened just now again, dropped in with a 17x base hit and ended 25x, so 8x bonus. So that's seven dead bonuses with decent base game hits with the GOLD drop.

I'm not even complaining as the base game has been playing ridiculously well so I've used the same deposit for 3 days...until the heat last night had me trying to bonus or bust it at 1am, failed as usual lol

No more bonus or bust for me on this, I just couldn't be bothered to change slots last night and bonanza is usually the best slot to just pass some time.

Kind of amusing that I can bonus the game and have great sessions with 20x but play it like you guys and it just gives me some base game time until I hit zero!
