New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[snorky510238]

really really hard to believe that this is random anymore

The more you see the less you believe.Thats because your instincts are normally right.Do you trust your gut feeling more often than not?I know I do and are you usually proved right in the long term YES I would expect most of us to say.Therefore why go against your gut instinct where slots are concerned.We already know they are programmed to pay back less than they take(In my view this already qualifies as rigged however you dress it up)I even wonder if all the possible combinations of some slots are in the programme to begin with.So with this in mind I think only blind faith can stop you delving into other theories of why certain things happen with such regularity.

Yesterday was my last day of online gambling chasing big wins, play time etc. What started as fun 10 years ago, ended with mega tilted sessions trying to get anything back.Feeling awful most of the times. No fun at all. Last 6 months of playing bonanza I ve lost over 10.000€ at 0,60-2,00€ bets. Yesterday though I had the ultimate session... 500€ deposit, 2,00€ bets. After 6.000spins balance at 150€-no bonus of course... Raise at 4,00€ and in the next spins before finally busting, I had 7(!!!)(yes 7) bonuses. 3 of which "offered" 17 spins. Well the results are:43x,3.6x,1.8x,9x,17x,11x,1.4x
Probably better throw money out of the window. At least some poor bastard may find them...Slots are rigged but Bonanza is rigged to the bone...
I m done!!!Hope you all best of "luck"
Try and do something NICE with your money.I will for sure! Stop depositing! It is all a huge bubble and the guys from BTG and all other providers are getting soooo rich from us. Didn't u see the boys from Netent, play n go etc when Kim streamed and they were trying to answer some questions about their slots? They all laughed... They couldn't believe that they were "interviewed" for stealing people's money.
It was nice "knowing" all of you in here from your posts.Have fun, stay safe and next time you are about to deposit, try and actually buy something for yourselves. At the end of the day I guarantee you that you will feel much much better than all those times hitting 0.06 balance...

 

[snorky510238]

It's like that with a lot of slots, but where I play Bonanza it plays pretty well overall. The bonuses are mostly decent- paying and not synonymous with the stories on here.

I would give away where that is, but I won't spoil it for everyone

I have worked out the only place it can be.ITCHYCOO PARK.

 

[nutnut]

this game needs investigating.

13 BONUS rounds in 5 hours play and not one bonus paid above £8. not even enough to make a withdrawal.

it is a pos. the base game pays more that is not right.

 

[gtpaul]

I hear you, believe me I have spent £1000s on this game and noticed a pattern.

It seems to pay out in patterns / cycles of which you get a lot of bonuses all clustered together ie after the 1st, the 2nd 3rd 4th etc are not far away.

Also I have had the same as you 4 or 5 crap paying bonuses in a row.

Ive played it on a different day at a different time and the complete opposite, the bonuses are 10 times better (though not as many)

Also a lot of wins are repeated in the base game 2 diamonds on the 1st / 2nd row and when megaways is at the max 9 times out of 10 no connections.

The same cycles over and over again, random??????

To be fair, I am still well ahead on the game, I think its all about timing, hitting it on the payout cycle.

[snorky510238]

I have noticed lately the base game seems to have been tweaked up slightly.I find I am getting more frequent x10 to x20 hits with a couple of x200.The problem is to counteract it the bonus round seems even more rare(if that's possible)and when they do come they are paying sod all.

 

[dogshead1]

My Usual Return at DHV, fuck that quit at just short of 70 spins bullshit game as of late!!

 

[nutnut]

how do i honestly report this game. yes i know you can simply say don't play it. but when a game is so blatant in taking the piss i have to do more than just not play it.
i gamble what i can afford to lose i dont even mind losing i do it to play and have fun. but 5 bonuses again today in 2 hours and all below £7 again last one being this.

it is blatant down right robbery. i played one other game and with 5 minutes triggered a bonus and won £22 and doesnt have anywhere near potential of this game. yet 18 bonuses in a row pay less than 8 pound. disgraceful!

 

[greylady]

I made my last and final deposit last night, my run of bad luck is never ending so it's time to call it a day.

Every slot I played last night and for almost the previous 3.5 months were dead, went to Bonanza with £45 in my balance, minimum bets and after 3 crappy bonus rounds I was left with nothing. It really isn't fun any more so I have no intention of depositing again for at least months.

Fingers crossed everyone has better luck than me and still gets enjoyment out of it

we're told nothing has changed but for every 1 bad bonus when this game came out the other 9 was £20+ every time. now every bonus bar odd one is below £8 for me. i have hundreds of bonuses to back this up.

are we all wrong? something needs investigating.

 

[AnnaTS]

Last night was the last time i play this slot, It took roughly 1800 spins to trigger the bonus and it paid less than 10 x.

When i first started playing this slot which was around last October the slot didn't seem that bad but i haven't had a decent hit on this slot since December 8th when i got 250x from a bonus that came within the first 200 spins.

Since that last decent hit on December 8th i have given the slot a chance over and over again but it keeps doing the same thing, It takes me over a 1000 spins to trigger the bonus and not one has paid over 50x.

I actually feel ashamed that i have invested so many spins on this slot.

how many more regulars does it take to realise we not bitter about losing, but see the actual game has CHANGED.

can someone get onto this company, it smells badly of dog poo!

Now you mention it, I played Danger earlier today too!

£20 and about seven minutes later it was all over. About two double scatters in there throughout.

If Bonanza is the devil then this game is the fetid boil on its arse

 

[Jono777]

The thing is (and yes I'm guilty as charged also) we will all (well maybe not lockinlove ), despite these somewhat serious doubts continue to play these dubious slots and those ever getting fatter cats will sit in their ivory tower laughing their bits off at us

Strange that, my last decent hit was about mid December and it has been horrific ever since - it does make you wonder if it has been tinkered with.

 

[gtpaul]

Something changed in november, if you go into the menu on the game you can see the "version" was changed...

My 5th bonus at £2 stake which comes in every 300-600 spins and my 5th feature at this stake in a row which has paid less then 8x and this time I did not get one win in the feature this was a total wipeout. Plus my above posted 22% RTP which is become the norm on average 200 spin sessions this is pure robbery and makes me sick to the pit of the stomach!!! everyone is getting the same returns its pure bullshit!

Yeah I agree. It does seem to play in cycles. There was a few days where it played normal. Some bonuses here and there and a few decent base game hits. But then it suddenly went to absolute shit for a few days where it was just in huge money suck mode and bonuses paying nothing. Ive played this slot since its release pretty frequently and I feel pretty confident with the cycle comment. I stopped playing it for a bit though because it was def in bad cycle mode. No matter what you do it just wont pay. Leave it, come back. next day, few hours later. Nothing. Its like its set for a time period and possible geo location LOL. Thats probably going a bit far but it does seem like it!

 

[AnnaTS]

I don't know, I just know that i won't be playing the slot again.

 

[snorky510238]

I have stated this before but I will add a bit more.I am not defending bonanza or DHV they undoubtedly have horrific money munching cycles.The problem lies (especially with bonanza)in the fact they are highly addictive games.This means that we are all probably guilty of investing more time and money than we intended to at the start of a session.I am pretty controlled as to how much I spend on a slot per session but I hold my hands up bonanza has the ability to "TILT" me...
The one thing I feel confident about however is if all of us were investing the same amount of time and money on pretty much any other given slot is that the results would be similar or in some cases worse.
The reason we all see the cycle of bonanza is that we are spending say 20x longer playing it than we are other games.Whereas if we lose £10 on game A we move on.Lose £10 on B move on and so forth until we lose our deposit of £100 playing 10 different games(this is just an example).We still lost our deposit with not much happening at all but we don't feel justified in blaming any 1 game because we didn't give any of them much time or chance.
The difference with bonanza is people play the whole deposit through it so you feel justified in blaming the game and it comes in for a lot of scrutiny.
I am pretty sure if everyone put the same time and money into spinions,Aloha,scruffy duck,legend of Shangrila and all the other bags of sh.te out there that don't even have the capability of a massive win bonanza would soon be forgotten and probably still be considered one of the best of the worst.

 

[nutnut]

Youre missing the point made imo.

If you play any slot non stop you lose, we get it.

The bonuses have changed thats the issue.

 

[snorky510238]

They all do think how most games pay the first 3 months they come out its not a coincidence.They all have a slightly inflated rtp to begin with and then slowly but surely get cranked down.

 

[dogshead1]

I'll tell you what I've noticed past 10+ deposits, is the first 50 spins when you open the game up you get GOL on the first 3 reels and it never comes in and the base game gives a good return sucks you in because you think it's gonna drop and BOOM its hooked you and sucked you dry with no feature or a piss poor one at that. Exactly the same pattern everytime now. Now that is not random.! It even does take 380-460 spins from deposit till feature if you actually last that long. Again coincidental we all rave in these forums about volatility and feature hit frequency posting stats from slot tracker etc. What will we all do is hang round and play 300-500 spins through the damn thing knowing there is a high chance of the feature dropping by this point!

Of course the game developers read these posts and laugh their tits off and make the necessary 'cha ching' adjustments!!

Yes, definitely this ^^

It's the only game I've ever come pretty close to tilting on, and that includes DOA. I genuinely believe the game is designed to play almost in tandem with your balance, it certainly feels like it.

The modest deposits are all but gone in a flash. Compare that to just about 99% of other games where you get a modicum of gameplay at least

The money 'invested' in this vile bastard is not commensurate with time spent on it. It is literal anti- entertainment at times......

I think too many of us are unhealthily obsessed with it, me included, when really we should be playing other games. The allure of that 14000x always plays at the back of one's mind, "maybe I'll be the one to show them all!" when really you have more chance winning the national lottery

I'm playing MG as I type, and for argument's sake that £10 deposit has given me a couple of hours+ with my balance sitting pretty at £21, having peaked at £38

Basically, Bonanza is filth. But I love the idea of it

 

[snorky510238]

Yeah I don't for 1 second believe that each and every day you are on a level playing field with any game.How many times do you go to any of your favourite games and find that it plays exactly the same as it did yesterday and the day before(in my opinion never).I know I keep referring to FOBTS but these slots work in exactly the same way.In the past I spent more time than I care to remember playing and observing how these things work and there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that these things are manipulated on a daily basis.I think there is a way the server is rigged or overridden. I mean how else can a site have a game labelled as HOT if nothing has been altered.Even if it paid out well for the past few days if it's "random"(cough splutter) there is no guarantee it will pay out well today(surely misleading and false advertising).In the past I have seen sites have races for a super spin(guaranteed spin to put you straight into the bonus round)doesn't seem very ethical to have that programmed into a "random" slot.

 

[snorky510238]

My 5th bonus at £2 stake which comes in every 300-600 spins and my 5th feature at this stake in a row which has paid less then 8x and this time I did not get one win in the feature this was a total wipeout.

View attachment 88118

That is sick.When you wait that long and the bonuses are continually crap it just highlights the fact the slots are set for a period and you can't change it whatever you do.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

Time to take a nice longggg break. 2333 spins to get this 1.5x

Will try bonanza again in a couple months

 

[BillyGoldblum]

I always do 25 more spins on bonanza after a bonus to just see. While I was writing the above I switched back to leave the slot. Had another bonus.

Def time to leave this slot alone for a good few months. You cannot hit big on this slot and then continue to play it. You just cant. it will take it all back and double. So maybe it will have a new update over the next few months. Hope some of you guys hit big in the meantime

Since I hit big these have been all my bonuses.

1.5x
3.2x
4.8x
9.5x
10.3x
12x
18.1x
21x
24.4x
27.3x
29x

And my rtp 54.3% over 16, 554 spins

Yeah something smells a bit.Are those figures all at the same casino?

 

[sapit222]

It can be awful, but also great sometimes.

I do hate it when i get a bonus that is silly low, like x2.

 

[snorky510238]

It should have a bonus guarantee like RR does but obviously a bit higher.The bonus can suck on that game too.I triggered it 4 times in my first 17 spins once(1 a 4 scatter)and not 1 of them made the guarantee.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Last night, 30 minutes bonanza with a few bucks from the Wheel of Rizk.

1x FS @ $0.60 --> 563x bet
1x FS @ $1.00 --> 238x bet

Both with 22 Free Spins, 1x 16 multiplier, 1x 11 multiplier. It is still one of the best games currently available, I only miss those big wins as they should happen a lot more often.

And as anyone else, with 2 rounds over 22 Free Spins i expected at least one to be some sort of a monster.

Surely, i too go days with not much happening but the other day i built up a balance on two accounts with Bonanza and lost it on both occasions on DOA, BOD, TS2 and IR.

 

[interlog]

Last night continuing my wagering quest (£300 deposit, £300 match with £21,000 wagering !!!). £1,000 start at £2 spins. It was playing crap to about £280 and then within 10 spins a 100x base game and a bonus round (the first one) paying 300x. Balance suddenly to over starting balance!

You need a lot of patience with this one, and a big bank roll to sustain the bad spells.

 

[snorky510238]

Even with a big bankroll and patience it's a dangerous game to play because the day always comes.

 

[slotmaster]

Had a 200x free spins win, Got 16 way's of aces at 11x.

It's become just another egg timer slot as far as I am concerned

$100 of minimum bets. Almost three hours of play. One shitty 11x bonus and two “big wins” of 26x and 36x in 1500 spins. Fuck this game.

 

[greylady]

People are really beginning to get p****d of with this slot and the pile of smelly pooh it is.

Please don't start posting about pooh now

 

[goatwack]

Well even if BTG stopped hosting slots, one could say they'd definitely struck gold with this game, and had a great run.

Which is more than can be said for my recent sessions on this fund-stealer

 

[snorky510238]

Judging by recent sessions Tony Hadley is on permanent vacation.

 

[Gaz237]

If you look on the majority of casinos, Bonanza is normally in the top 5 of most popular played games, along with DHV.

So BTG must be doing something right.

It does make me laugh at the people complaining about Bonanza being addictive.

Surely, that is what any game producer/designer is aiming for?.

They would not be very good at their job if people didn't keep coming back to play them.

There is a fine line between trying to make a game addictive and p*****g players off. After in excess of 100 crappy bonus rounds, I won't be playing it ever again, in fact I have no desire to even deposit and play slots right now and that's what they call entertainment

That's your prerogative.

However you yourself have posted time and time again over the last few months, that you will not be playing this slot ever again.

Surely if Bonanza has made you miserable, to the point you don't want to play any slots. You really would stop playing it?

The people who post on this thread would not even be close to 0.001% of the people who actually play Bonanza, so we cannot see the big picture. You can't argue with the fact it's one of the most popular games out there, which in turn is earning the Casinos and BTG money, which was the intention. There's plenty enough of players, that are not peed off with it.

It's simply a HV slot and only a very few will win big. A lot of people moaning in this thread are pumping in deposit after deposit on one game.

Unless your that lucky, 1 in a 1000 people, it will never end well.

 

[dogshead1]

You forts hang in there and try not to crack.

I''ve Cracked I'm afraid. I estimate a 4k loss in the past 2-3 weeks. Money I cant really afford most profit from other slots and dumped into this crap instead of cashing out when ahead. Every time thinking it must give! It's an eye opener to the cruel world and business of online slotting!!!

Maybe it's time to stop chucking the crap about.

Step away from Bonanza otherwise you may end up drowning, like some others have.

 

[goatwack]

Cough splutter I was a tad restless yesterday and threw a solitary tenner to the four winds. Before you could utter 'jammy' I was up to something like £130!

Couldn't believe the descent of doom that followed though. Plummeted right back down to £13 or so at one stage before a couple of well overdue bonuses crept me up to the mid-50s.

And then before you could say 'let it end' I hit a majestic bonus that involved some wilds and diamonds and shit. Withdrew £350 straight away with some £70 or so left.

I would have captured the screenshot but it was at that point I came in my pants, so to speak.

God bless this game
