New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[torors]

A quote from torors post:
"The game is designed to screw you over in a brilliant, mind-puzzling way. Deal with it "

Funnily enough who has not been seen nor replied when since I asked if he had sneaked in from BTG

I am in no way affiliated with BTG.

Let's be frank - this game is addictive, unregulated filth. I think BTG have created a monster and probably don't even know what goes with it half the time.

Someone needs to reverse-engineer this game. It's probably got more holes in it than Swiss cheese

I wrote a quick, dirty and hacky third-party client for Bonanza to endure the long streaks of seeing no bonus. You can find the code here:

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

. Replace the token with one from a real session. Be aware though, this will eat through your balance as fast as the server responds. The script will exit once it has triggered a bonus. Just reload the game in a browser and enjoy! Using this probably conflicts with your favourite casino's T&C. Any winnings may be confiscated. Use with caution.

Working on that last part as we speak.

 

[TheAddict]

Not at all affiliated with btg, while developing something that will allow you to do upto 10k spins within the hour if you dont hit a bonus on bgt.
Hmmm, lol
(Jus playin!)

 

[goatwack]

I'd love to use that code, I mean let's face it, the base game's boring as shit

Now for someone to do a hack where you start a bonus on a 32x multiplier with 25 spins

BTG already hacked the slot - If you attempt, it will return an error as that is not available in the pay table - All this is, is a vile piece of filth made AWP style - Continue playing it and it will prove my point - Takes to give and takes back - you will never get ahead nor will your RTP even out.

Rigged Time Gaming IMPO.

Yes indeed. And I don't think BTG care particularly either. I mean think about it, every punter that sinks money into it - even if they don't return to it- makes them a tidy profit. Let's just say they have £20 off everyone that's ever played it.....I'd call that good business.

Of course most will become disgruntled with it and wise up, but those that get that 'bug' will be their main source of income. And not forgetting those this game is squarely aimed at - fringe tilting gamblers with big pockets

BTG's annual turnover and business model must be every CEO's dream...

im going to have to report you for being biased

 

[nikantw]

I guess nobody likes reading, I mean really read and understand some things.
1st month yes, we all expected 100,000x wins, but after the 2nd month it was clear and posted many times that it is more likely to s....t a GOLD bar

...... than hit > 13,000x!
Same with > 1000x 100 or more times harder than other slots, same with bonus round 100 or more times harder than other slots.
This is posted again and again since a year ago. Play the slot if you like it, if you don't, play something else. It won't make you rich.
Don't play to get rich, play to have fun. Gambling will not make you rich. Don't play if RTP lower than 96%, cashout all your big wins and you just won't lose too much.

 

[Nate]

Honestly - its not about getting rich on the slot - Most of us played it for fun. I played and played and played - really enjoyed it, then I began to take notice of how it compensated against any wins and took double back before i got a bonus round.

I honestly have not played such a diabolical slot in all my life - These guys are con-artists at their very best. I assure you something is amiss with this slot.

I don't trust BTG - I no longer play their slots or recommend them to anyone. They are just crooked IMPO.

[goatwack]

Fairly brutal today. Probably recompense for my previous night's successes on it.

It's painfully obvious when the game retreats back into 'take' mode, yet one carries on anyway. £40 back in, two bonuses- one almost recovered my starting balance, and the other came close to bust, paying about 20x

Why oh why does this game never permit successive winning sessions? I'm not talking highrolling here.....oh yeah, I remember. It's compensated

There are a lot of things that seem odd - I don't recall seeing a 117 000 mega way win with the diamonds for some time. The base game also does not dish out those 100x and 200x as often. Features are paying LESS on average. More 20x and 30x hits. I could go on, I have the play & the spin count but don't see the results.

One of my subs had a 4k x bet hit on just multiple 4-OAK diamonds at 17x multiplier. It can happen - rarely!
The biggest annoyance to me is the free spins whereby you sit there in anticipation after getting a double-figure multiplier built up and have 3-5 spins left, only to see all the reels turn to 2/3-row turds and get just one 3OAK 9's win or all of them dead. Anger almost explodes, knuckles white and volleys of abuse ensue....

 

[aceking123]

to be fair i have not noticed anything untoward about it, i think the game is very clever & seems ok to me , i like the other DH , but i have not sat for hundreds & hundreds of games on it , i do maybe a couple of hundred then move on, more than i do on DH , you think this slot has eaten money this year , well i can state with fact that IMortal has been far more greedy im slightly up on BTG this year & i dont play them often at all ,since getting burnt by dragon born last year.

IMortal well this slot is another story you think a slot cant be changed well this slot has now become unplayable in returns im averaging 500+ spins for a shitty 10x feature , this has been going on for two months since my last 200x bet on every casino site ive played at. now this maybe to fact of BTG where players are not playing it any longer who knows , but i shall keep reading the thread )

 

[pinnit2014]

Put 20 in last night - got a decent 80 quid from 20p bonus. Upped to 40p, got a few more bonus' and got up to 180. Then came the pound spins - 5th spin in and D and plus 5 dropped in at same time. All ready for screenshot at the end...17 @a quid = 9 quid. So i didn't bother.

I'm getting bigger hits in the base game at the moment. This bonus wins aren't commersurate with a 400 spin bonus average. Once the base game packs in I can't see myself playing it much longer as they're the only thing that keeps it ticking over. I agree that the bonus wins average has been on somewhat of a downward trend.

Ended up taking out 140 so not bad - however, bit crap given 6/7 bonus rounds in an hours session.

 

[greylady]

Anyway else noticed too that when you get a bonus feature with a mediocre win early on then it is almost guaranteed you will bust before you hit the next bonus feature - again it's compensating making you think it is going to bonus when actually it is getting ready to bust you, used to happen to me every time but I have cut right back on how much I play it - I know I harp on about Videoslots but i find it nigh on impossible to bonus it there, it took hundreds from me and gave nothing back.

 

[pinnit2014]

For me Vera John played the best for Bonanza and VS the worse. Now VS is the best for bonus's and not hit V&J one for about 150 quids worth. Rinse and Repeat. The only site I've not had a decent win on it in is Sky Vegas - which is a shame as it's the smoothest about.

Redbet was going through a nice cycle for a week or so when everythimeyou got a bonus another 2 followed quickly. But again, that's stopped

 

[interlog]

Not seen the changes mentioned myself.

But I have for DHV - I find that now really difficult to bonus unlike previously when the feature was never that far away. This morning, £300 at £2 spins and just the two teases. Biggest win £60 in the base game.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Had yesterday 4x 6OAK Diamonds in Free Spins but only x2 multiplier with a $1 bet, still $400 bucks and 495x total for the round. Got it up to $660 (starting balance $105 Cashback at VS) and missed the exit door, handing it all back over 4 hours of play with $1- $4 bets.

I can't fault this slot, yes it is boring for longish periods but it rarely disappoints. DOA is just as boring while waiting for the big hit. 9 out of 10 sessions I get ahead but then stay too long trying to hit Free Spins at a higher bet.

 

[nutnut]

Had about £300 in bonuses over last 7 days for various reasons. All bonus funds been on this game. Stake was 20p or 40p. Had 1 bonus at 40p which paid £2+ and not another bonus other than that. No cash outs.

This game is as bad if not worse since i played it few months back.

 

[ReggieMac]

Well I have managed to whistle through £1500 on Bonanza over 5 days of Xmas, had lots of playtime and exactly 16 bonuses through it all, even broke my own record with 1797 spins without a bonus. Biggest win I had I was a 304x in the base game! Anyway, I have had some fun with this game, ups and downs (definitely well down now) and many hours of the tedious music but time to say goodbye to Bonanza.

 

[greylady]

It's kind of been ruined, well for me anyway, I don't even get excited any more when I get the bonus as I know 99% of the time it is going to be crap - how to ruin what was previously a decent game.

 

[goatwack]

Most bonuses I've had to date have been pretty decent, barring the odd clanger. But the last few haven't been too swell, and the one I got before busting was God-awful. Of course one could say that the designers want the player to re-deposit on purpose by making it so (bzzztt tinfoil alert) but I don't think I've even got over 12 x multiplier the last four or five times. Pretty ruinous, that

I still think it's a marvellous game that we're lucky to have, and gave the industry a bit of a shake-up. But boy do those bonuses come in clusters. Or just not at all

 

[lockinlove]

Well this slot has been out for a year now and I can say it is the worst slot I ever played but also the most attractive to the eye. I tried t0 calculate all my spins between slot tracker and messaging all the casinos I played in and its not entirely accurate but its close. I did a total 594,000 spins on bonanza in one year.

My best hit was 790x. I had 8 hits that paid between 500x and 790x. The rest all lower. Eight. In almost 600.000 spins.

I am not sure why maybe its luck maybe its not but I continually see the same small handful of posters posting some decent wins throughout the year while others have played more and over 3 million between them and not one win over 800x.

My last 100 bonuses on this slot only 8 paid over 100x while 92 bonuses paid under 100x. And 50 of those bonuses paid 30x and under.

To me, this game turned into a massive massive pile of shit. I still swear it is tracking me or something and has been for the past 500,000 spins. The slot turned me off so bad I think I actually hate it.

I do wonder if it tracks your play across sites.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

Done over 1000 spins a day since last time it took me 10k spins to get a bonus. Close to about 4000 spins without a bonus again.

This is my last day of playing this slot and my NYE resolution is to not play Bonanza. Maybe BTG all together.

This slot should be taken down in my opinion and so should white rabbit..even though Im up on white rabbit.

Just my thoughts anyways. But right now after 393,000 spins my rtp on bonanza is 84.4%. So I do not believe this slot is set up properly at all. And best win is like 600x.

 

[goatwack]

I'm not quite at the 'quit Bonanza' stage due to not having played it at the beginning like everyone else here. I abstained for about 9 months before extolling its virtues

One thing I will look to do though is cut down on it, have a set budget and not chase like I have done. By chasing I mean small amounts, but they soon add up as well

I think too many of us fall for the "I've bought the right to have a good bonus on it" mindset, fact is this game doesn't care one jot, and is quite unlike any other slot. People also forget its insanely-high variance when playing.

Bonanza is getting demoted from me and becoming a secondary slot in the new year, one to play once in a while or with spare post-cashout funds

 

[Jd666]

Rumour has it.... Bonanza 2 is coming next year.
It has a buy a bonus feature for 500x bet.
Its set in a Silver mine so you need S I L V E R, but it only has 5 reels.
The soundtrack to the slot is Hi Ho silver Lining by Jeff Beck, singing
And it's high ho silver lining, anywhere you go now baby
I see your sun is shining
But I won't make a fuss, though it's obvious

Constantly repeating throughout

If BTG nick my idea, I want half

 

[lockinlove]

Went and watched a stream for a bit this morning. Saw a guy get the bonus after 2500 spins. He was happy until it paid 9x and then flipped right out hahaha.

Welcome to bonanza. The CHANGED and most RIGGED slot ever made



Happy new year !!

Didnt he say stay tuned with a bonanza logo up? Sort of hints at a bonanza II. I thiink its unlikely and not very smart because this bonanza has people hooked and is lining the pockets of BTG and casinos with billions. Maybe they are trying to make a second bonanza that is lower volatilty. So now instead of a bonus once every 1000 spins it will be once every 750 spins. And to them, that will be a success!

 

[Jono777]

Dunno why they couldn't leave the original, still made them heaps of dosh...
Oh yes I do, sorry GREED!

 

[Jd666]

What...

They really are making a sequel then?

I must have missed that, but then again, I only visit this thread occasionaly as its a bit samey lol.
We moan about it and then go play it again, me included

well i dont know im just saying that he dropped this which some could take as a hint the are making a sequel

action packed 2018 then says "hint" then shows a picture of bonanza

 

[pinnit2014]

Never know, could be a Godfather 2 quality sequel with bonus rounds every 200 spins and minimum 200 x multipliers.

 

[goatwack]

Bonanza will never have a sequel, as it's already a perfect cash cow for BTG. Just like there'll never be a follow-up to DOA either.

Get real, people

 

[ReggieMac]

Despite my total disaster on this game over the Christmas period and having vowed to leave it be in 2018, my resolve collapsed at the first hurdle. I was determined not to spend another penny on this game but then Rizk kindly gave me 10% cashback on my losses resulting in a £74 pot to spend as I wish. Couldn't help myself, thought 'well I spent it all on Bonanza in the first place, may as well give it this as well!'. Was appalling game play right down to £2.43 @ 80p when amazingly the G-O-L-D dropped in during a cascade! Great I thought, maybe a recovery from the 12 spins but the cascade had not finished and dropped a +5 as well, the 17 spin trigger of doom!!!. Despondently I clicked 'Start' and waited for the inevitable 5-10x but it did surprise me and gave me a grand total of £152.30. Instantly withdrew it and will try a lot harder to refrain from playing this game.

Takes a 100x to give 200x and then will wipe you for 200x the next time - Typical BTG bullshit. Im still waiting for them to post a few fake videos and screenies again - its 2018 or perhaps they've hired trolls instead.

[BillyGoldblum]

Sadly my last session on bonanza was a complete disaster. I lost $1500 yesterday on $1 bets with no bonus. Ive lost about $6000 on bonanza alone in the past 3 months on .60-$1 bets.

I quit bonanza and am going to try and boycott BTG. I do like white rabbit so it may be a bit hard.

I cannot fathom how that is possible... yet it is... I had similar results flat betting. I've had disastrous sessions on this game and NOTHING remotely big enough to even say I am a little behind - I am FAR behind on my RTP. Your decision to quit it can only benefit YOU in the long run. The longer you play this slot, the more it will hurt you.

Nate

 

[Jd666]

I am still only doing 100 spins when I open this game up.
Past few days, I have had a bonus when doing this, althougth they haven't been much cop.
If the base game is doing OK then I give it a chance and play some more spins.
Yesterdays session on my 100 spins lost me 60x bet so i binned it off.

I dont know what to say to be honest. I am just numb from this slot. What is the gambling commission guidelines. they just let slot providers do whatever they want? I dont understand how in the last month I have went 10,000 spins without a bonus...over 3000 twice and then last night over 2000. I think I have had one bonus is 18,000 spins. I would do 1000 spins leave it and come back and keep trying and it never happened. Then when I got it it paid like 14x with the screenshot I showed the other day.

There is something very off about this slot.

 

[interlog]

It would perhaps help if the BTG representative tells us what the update back in November was all about.

I have sent him a PM, so maybe he can tell us?

 

[EmilyEmma]

I haven't had a decent bonus round for weeks, however, I did win £139 with a 20p bet yesterday in the base game which was a shock!

 

[colinsunderland]

I can assure all that the game itself has not changed in the slightest.

Reason is that the math model for this slot is so complex that just a small change would throw it totally off-balance, needing then weeks or months to fix it again. Secondly, changing it would mean they would have to go again through certification by each jurisdiction they are offering it (MGA, UKGC etc). No sane person would do that unless the developers find out that the game has a MAJOR, MAJOR flaw, which it hasn't.

Bit late replying to this, but only just read it.

DoA has most certainly changed since it changed to HTML5 but I'm 99% certain it hasn't gone through testing and re certification again. Same can be said for numerous other games (Raging Rhino, Montezuma are 2 that spring to mind) so I'm not sure I agree with you on what you have said.

I haven't played Bonanza much in the lead up to Christmas, I always cut right back on slot play in November and December, but played a few thousand spins in the past couple of days and it certainly seems different to what it was to me. Not so much on the frequency of the bonus, as that could go forever without giving one anyway, but the base game feels completely different.

 

[greylady]

I find most of the play is in the base game now. It keeps you going with smallish wins (whether this is to make up the RTP, not sure), then there is the shift where it will demolish your balance and stop throwing in little wins - the bonus round is really hard to trigger now and when it does, you seldom get more than 100x bet but more likely a lot less than this.

Colin, can you imagine in the slightest what kind of mathematical monster Bonanza is? It is actually the main reason why this slot excites me so much.

To my knowledge, re-certification is needed only if a provider is changing the math model or the RTP. And none of that is an easy or a quick one.

I had a slight impression too that it changed when they released the last update since it started showing G-O ever so often on reel 1 + 2 with no cascades happening. HTML5 allows providers to present a spin result in any way they want as long as the winning combination from the RNG is displayed in some way. All around that is up to them to show whatever they want us to see. It doesn't mean though that the slot has changed.

I played it a lot in the last 6 - 7 months and I can see no difference whatsoever. It takes and it gives, with the first happening more often naturally. I had super cold spells when I started playing it and I still have them now the same as I have hot periods. The most I lost in one day was just over $3K with $2 - $4 bets without a single bonus round. Shit happens, but I still not think that it has changed or as some suggest is tracking player results.

Just on Monday I went from $105 to $660 very quickly with a few bonus rounds not far apart from each other. To this day, the most I had was 5 x Free Spins in under 100 spins, the longest I waited was over 2,700 spins. So it can happen in quick succession, only the "luck" of the day decides what kind of session one will have.

The same goes for DOA - the math model and RTP have not changed, only what is displayed to us on the reels. That does not need certification.

Well according to the BTG representative right at the start of this very long topic, he stated that they couldn't change the option to turn off the music because the slot would need recertifying?

Colin, can you imagine in the slightest what kind of mathematical monster Bonanza is? It is actually the main reason why this slot excites me so much.

To my knowledge, re-certification is needed only if a provider is changing the math model or the RTP. And none of that is an easy or a quick one.

I had a slight impression too that it changed when they released the last update since it started showing G-O ever so often on reel 1 + 2 with no cascades happening. HTML5 allows providers to present a spin result in any way they want as long as the winning combination from the RNG is displayed in some way. All around that is up to them to show whatever they want us to see. It doesn't mean though that the slot has changed.

I played it a lot in the last 6 - 7 months and I can see no difference whatsoever. It takes and it gives, with the first happening more often naturally. I had super cold spells when I started playing it and I still have them now the same as I have hot periods. The most I lost in one day was just over $3K with $2 - $4 bets without a single bonus round. Shit happens, but I still not think that it has changed or as some suggest is tracking player results.

Just on Monday I went from $105 to $660 very quickly with a few bonus rounds not far apart from each other. To this day, the most I had was 5 x Free Spins in under 100 spins, the longest I waited was over 2,700 spins. So it can happen in quick succession, only the "luck" of the day decides what kind of session one will have.

The same goes for DOA - the math model and RTP have not changed, only what is displayed to us on the reels. That does not need certification.

I agree with most of what you say, and I'm not talking through my pocket as I'm up on the past couple of months on it, so what i think isn't based on losing money lol. Yesterday I got GOLD on my first spin, and it paid slightly over 200x. A few days ago I got it on my 11th spin, paid 63x then next spin got GOLD+5, which paid 400x.

I love this game, its easily the most interesting slot I've ever played, and I'm not being critical of it, but I do feel it has changed. I know what you are saying about when a game needs rechecking, but being honest, how do we, or anyone else, know if anythings changed? Its not as if the UKGC have decided to play 100,000,000 spins on DoA since it was moved to HTML5, so how does anyone know the math model or RTP hasn't changed? Just look in the screenshots section, how often do we see 5 scatters or wildlines now, compared to say 18 months ago? Montezuma, I have not had over 9 spins to start the free spins session with since it changed to HTML5, not once, and thats in 100's of features. Before it changed to HTML5 I would get 25 probably once in every 20-30 features, and higher than 9 probably 50% of the time. If game providers make obvious changes like that, then it should have to go through retesting, if nothing else, to show customers they are the same and fair. I mean, a provider could easily shave 0.5% from the RTP and knowing they will never be audited, get away with it, and on such a low amount, it could never really be proven by players like us.
