New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[greylady]

actually properly done this time lol.

maybe my issue was exclusively playing it at willhill but the slot has turned out how it treated you to me now.

1 month straight deposit after deposit is enough to call it quits.

if i played any other slot id get a withdrawal from playing it for a month straight, but this did the impossible.

Try 3 months for me and absolutely nothing but losses - I seldom even deposit now to play any slots as Bonanza has killed any interest I once had.

Try 3 months for me and absolutely nothing but losses - I seldom even deposit now to play any slots as Bonanza has killed any interest I once had.

Imagine a 3-way debate between you, Nutnut and for good measure, Ray from Rainman. It'd go something like this:

Nutnut: Bonanza's a bastard

Greylady: All slots hate me

Ray: I'm a good driver. A good driver

Nutnut: Bonanza's got it in for me

Greylady: Those bloody slots

Ray: I'm a good driver. A good driver

Nutnut: That f*cking Bonanza again

Greylady: Slots are not my friend right now

Ray: I'm a good driver. A good driver

Nutnut....

 

[greylady]

Notice how I didn't swear once!

 

[lockinlove]

I wonder if anyone has had to be medicated because of this slot

 

[goatwack]

I'm sure prescriptions of Propranolol have soared thanks to the golden wonder!

 

[greylady]

I wonder if anyone has had to be medicated because of this slot

Not so much medicated but I had to move into a padded cell <<dribbles>>

 

[nutnut]

this slot has finished any sort of interest in slots.

when you lose so much without even a small withdrawal, you feel like you are a moron.

So instead of depositing on this piece of crap, I will read other peoples misery to replace mine.

The thing that finally snapped me was how it always gave small wins to round off 1 more spin. examples

12p = win 8p
16p = win 4p
4p = win 16p
etc.....

I witnessed it round off my balance so often i refuse to believe it is random. it 100% reads your balance, how hell can it give wins that round of pence to one more spin of 20p on the dot. this thing reads balances i will go to my padded cell screaming to my death!

 

[lotusch]

So decided to give this piece of shit a whirl last weekend.
Start balance was 500 Euro and was playing 2 Euro bets.
Done about 2k spins and NOT A SINGLE FS round.
Kept my balance pretty much the same for a long time, hit a base game win of 90x and max balance was 633 Euro.
After a while the wins stopped and it dumped my balance to 250 Euro in no time.
Ok,no problem as that can happen.

What I DO FIND A PROBLEM is that this slot does not trigger the feature,a gazillion times the 3 scatters but the 4th one (D) never dropped in.

A waste of time and money slot if you ask me.

Danger High Voltage is the only BTG slot I can dig a bit, all the other stuff is sheer rubbish...Even white rabbit where I hit a 2700x stake win on my 2nd bonus I would classify as highly dangerous and in the grey area when it comes to legal stuff.

 

[snorky510238]

Same scenario again last night.1 space to hit D (top left hand corner)in it pops x25 so many dead spins in the bonus rounds lately.Also had another bonus +5 and retrigger (so 22 spins) paid x 16.Getting tighter by the day. What I find most annoying and tiresome is for a slot that should have more variations than most is that the script repeats the same patterns.I.E. On cascades that are paying small amounts it always drops the symbol you need(like moon top left cart/moon drops in on reel 1 etc).When you trigger the bonus(if you can remember that far back)It is generally on a smaller amount of ways(x).When you see the 117,649 ways you get 0 or 1 win and very rarely if ever a long sequence of cascading wins.In the bonus round pretty much every spin has only 2,3 or 4 symbols on reels 1,2 and 3 reducing winning possibilities.I have never seen the 117,649 in the bonus round.There are many others such as 2 carts in the bonus round blocking wins etc.Just think the programming could have been made to appear more random given the possibilities they had to work with.

 

[Naok777]

22 spins, this is going to be special...

x11 multiplier after 22 spins? F***.

 

[nutnut]

makes me glad i gave this rancid piece of shite up seeing that screenshot, experienced that way too many times. all we need now is russia to nuke the bastard game to finish it off for good!

 

[goatwack]

That's it! It was the Russians that did it!!

They've hacked the game and dialled the RTP down to 55%

Would explain a lot, come to think of it

 

[nikantw]

I have said what the facts are about Bonanza. Let me just remind the odds for 17k ways in bonus, 1/20 million spins.

I aslo need to add something else. Bonanza has TRTP 96%, what most don't know is that if you deposit 100 and have RTP 96% you will have 0,00 balance after wagering 2,500 or 25x your deposit.
If you play another slot with TRTP 98%, deposit 100 and have RTP 98% you will have 0,00 balance after wagering 5,000 or 50x your deposit. That is double wagering, double playtime.

That is what difference 2% RTP means, doubles your playtime or cuts it in half. Choose where and what you play carefully.

I seriously begin to wonder how legal this slot is.

Never ever ever came across a slot where I did not hit a single FS round after 4k plus spins.
Oh,and also no balance recovery hits in base game.
Just killing balance after balance.

I will keep playing until I had a bonus round just to see what it will PAY me back! BUHAHAHAHAHAHA...Probably 6x bet.

Rancid piece of shit.
You done a good job BTG. Enjoy your Mercs and Ferrari's...Must be feeling great driving those knowing this slot is doing it's job in the meantime.
Bringing people to the brink of insanity.

Basicly every win I had last couple of days I put into Bonanza...And it just ate it all away...
Glad I paid all this with wins from other slots but I can imagine people depositing over and over again...

What should be the avg amount of spins played to trigger a bonus?

I mean, Netent is mostly 1-150/200, nearly works like clockwork.
MGS about the same.
Even bloody Novomatic slots trigger FS quicker than this.

4k spins, no bonus.

I do empathize, 1000 spins appears to be the default now, so 4K doesn't surprise.....anyone, anymore

It's a new breed of slot and responsible for getting more people to tilt than any other. Of course, the day it does grant you a nice win be sure to know it's only paying you back. It's extremely hard to get, or stay ahead on

 

[pinnit2014]

Up to x9 on the first spin and then 11 dead.

Oh, how I chuckled at the little scamp.

 

[mina1929]

My turn

I have been betting only 40c lately with several $50 deposits and not one bonus came in.

We just have a love hate relationship with this slot

Better of playing my old time favourite Starburst

 

[aceking123]

I would not call it tilt. You guys are chasing it. I really cannot see why & why so many players are getting so involved with it ! It owes none of you money. If lockinloves play doesn't tell you a story well what will ?

 

[goatwack]

I'd agree with that actually, sure many will tilt but this game is masterful at getting players to chase it. I've done it a handful of times.....it's simply the worst and can go on for absolute ever when in a foul mood

 

[lotusch]

I would not call it tilt. You guys are chasing it. I really cannot see why & why so many players are getting so involved with it ! It owes none of you money. If lockinloves play doesn't tell you a story well what will ?

But this slots does make you tilt.
As any other slot will give you the free spins once every 200-300 spins, ok it can take longer sometimes but this slot takes the absolute piss.
Like I said, done about 4k spins now at V&J casino and I think around 800 spins at Videoslots and no bonus to be seen.
Add the constant 3 scatter heartstopper that does not drop the 4th letter (D) for tens of times.
It is a joke and a disgrace.

And yes, I do keep playing until I hit that bonus round, even knowing it will be most likely crap like on DOA.
But at least DOA triggers the bonus rounds pretty regular.

 

[goatwack]

Let's just all agree that it makes people chase and tilt.

All the finest qualities one looks for whenever picking a slot

 

[paul7388]

I really do not get why everyone keeps playing this slot.

Many slots can pay about 10000x bet if you hit the max win on them. Take TS2 IR etc. get 5 reels totally wild and it pays about 8000x i think.

They have been out for years. How many screenshots are there. I can only think of one and everyones saw it a thousand times lol.

There is just no evidence that Bonanza can and will pay this monster life changing hit.

I am the opposite of most the last week. Rarely play it but have played it a bit this week. Not really lost anything on it on minimum bets. But ive had plenty bonuses dropping in regularly.

All have paid like 10x bet except the monster i hit tonight. That paid a staggering £16 on 20p bet.

Sorry in my opinion its not that great a slot. Bonuses for many are too infrequent. Bonus round seems to rarely pay great. No super huge wins ever been posted on here multiplier wise.

If it was any other slot people would have binned it long ago. So why are so many wasting so much on a slot that does not pay more but in fact seems to pay less than other HV slots.

[greylady]

It is now on my banned list!

My mates hubby is in excess of £14000 down on this slot since the start of the year and there is not a hope in hell he is going to recover from that - given time, people are going to move away from this slot and let it die a death due to the countless disappointments it delivers.

And if that is the mentality he has then that is one of the worst things to do. Golden Rule number 1 is: Never ever ever chase losses, regardless what time period it has been.

And Second point, no they wont move away from it fully. The bonanza 2 will just take its place and people will still prefer the original anyway. Unless of course the second one will be much much better

 

[greylady]

It was his go to slot after he had a massive win on it not long after it's release but since then it has been one disappointment to him. He can afford the losses but he admits himself when a slot delivers, he tends to 'chase' to see if it will replicate but to date it's only losses.

 

[TheAddict]

Cant remember the suggested average bonus hit frequency but with doa being 152/1 (iirc) and still being able to go 1000+ spins for a bonus. Just assuming this here tripe is 450/1 (cant remember but somewhere near that?) that would make it perfectly designed to rinse those who chase a bonus (like me, thats literally why i will never be found playing it) for endless amount of spins, while installing the idea of a possible huge return to keep them motivated in playing again and again.. rinsing them dry in many cases during the process, with often no entertainment.

Id rather the occasinal bum cheek clencher from a decent looking bonus round on a game capable of paying 5000-10000x that say doa will throw in on occasion to keep the suspense while losing during a terrible long session where i get a moment to prey for it to produce , rather than to press start 5000 times for a flat line bore of 5000 uneventful spins during 4 hours to finally find one bonus, especially after seeing all these big amounts of retriggerred or +5 +5 free spins play out with seemingly constant displays of 10 dead spins inbetween soon leaving the player mumbling to themself 'what a fkn suprise...' half way through the feature with most of it already pointless leaving nothing to get a tad bit excited over as the end nears.

No real suspense, many seem not even bothered anymore if starting with 5 or 10 extra spins.. as if already expecting it to mean feck all. Probably means when you do eventually reach 30x or over multiplier you might be subconsciously getting more pissed off than if you didnt actually get that far, already aware that the only excitement youll likely get for handing over 50% of the last 2 months wages to arrive at that rare point is guessing if its 3oak 10's or 3oak a's that, if anything does at all, will be dropping in on such a high multiplier.

I guess im sayin that its not my cup of tea, and i like some kind of entertainment if im paying for it. I dont think this game gives enough of that entertainment value for the price it costs the regular player. Which would be justified if it had a big fat warning sticker on the loading screen suggesting the chance of hitting a bonus round and advertising the top 10 all time hits in it.
I feel i could just as easily play a jackpot slot that bores the shit out of me while also ripping me a new one on many other providers

 

[snorky510238]

I keep hearing it's a highly volatile slot so that's why it can take so long to trigger a bonus(still should should come more frequently than it does) so I expect to wait a while.What I don't expect is to wait that long for it to finally drop in and continually pay x5 x7 x9 and oh I nearly forgot my best 1 x30.Given the undoubted millions of pounds being wagered through this thing daily where the hell are the mammoth wins that should surely be occurring.

 

[pinnit2014]

Finding it near impossible to get above 100x in the bonus. Had 6 on a quid in last hour and not one was above 30

8months or so ago I was regularly hitting 500 x plus (still shitter than doa mind you) but now the bonus comes in and you’re like ‘what’s the point’

Luckily DOA came alive with 90p plays and managed to squeeze a 200 profit from the jaws on bonanza insanity (would have been more as was 6 spins in and already had 4 reels,4 wilds in a row

 

[Harry_BKK]

One thing we all forget these days.

One year ago or there around, hardly anyone knew BTG and Bonanza. Plus the games were available at 10 or so casinos, maybe even less. Hence, you had maybe a few hundred people playing on a day, chance to have a good run pretty good.

Today, you have sometimes more than 20,000....yes, that's right, banging the slot at the same time. Chance to have a good run much lower!

I have gone on this slot from looking forward to the Free Spins paying 9/10 more than 100x bet per round to being anxious to get past 50x bet on average, plus more rounds ending in "tears" with meager winnings of less than 50x bet.

 

[aceking123]

But at least DOA triggers the bonus rounds pretty regular.

Again your a experienced player so your aware of what these slots can do , but again your chasing the bonus round , call it tilt if you like but if it does not show in a couple of hundred spins i move on , pretty much no different from any other slot i play , you've already made a point of trying to hit the bonus round again your chasing that bonus, tilt i see as different a tilt to me is when you have a balance of 1k or something you've already spent time on a single slot without hitting , you get pissed off & then bang up the stakes to try to recover & at this point you really do not give a crap any longer. very simular granted but control yourself whilst playing this slot.

i had taken on board lockinlove , harry, nate , goatwick & many many more players have said & that's the reason i don't play it often hence to why im not really losing on it & i don't go chasing the feature either i've been there done this many many times with avalon & immortal , just learn from how cold they can be ) move on play it on occasion it may surprise you

 

[mina1929]

Play a 100 spins if you get nothing move on to the next game, 100 spins on next game and move to another game.

I might try that on the next deposit

 

[slotmaster]

weeeeeeeee just started playing again for first time in weeks and got 17 spins, hit red rubies all the way across for a total of 250x win!

 

[slotmaster]

OMG! Just hit gold again and got 4 retrigger symbols, Has anyone ever seen that? Got up to 19x but total win almost 200x!

All good and well, except that a £100 deposit isn't enough to come even close to the TRTP. You are always going to have great fluctuations for it to even out over the millions/billions of spins to its TRTP. Fluctuations such as nice withdrawals, even with a £100 deposit on £1 spins.

You just need the luck of the draw. Catch it in the right mood and you're good to go. Catch it in the wrong mood and you wished you never played it.

Over the last 3 weeks I have had two bonuses of around 1400x, 4 around the 950x mark and quite a few between 400x and 750x. No idea how many between 80x and 400x, but a lot. Yes I've had some poor ones, around the 30x mark seems popular and a couple of really bad ones below 10x. This has mainly been at £1 stake with the odd foray up to £2, in all I am ahead about £3k. My best run was 4 bonuses in about 150 spins with 1 at 1400x, 1 at 650x, 1 at 280x and 1 at 70x. The 4th one was the 1400x and I was just clicking a couple of spins before moving on.

I would be a lot more up if it weren't for Rhino and Moon Princess, Rhino in particular has probably taken close to £3k off me. That gives you an idea of just how far ahead I was on Bonanza. I am suffering badly from the irrational belief that Rhino owes me and can't seem to stop going back to it.

So, right now, I love Bonanza, but then I used to love Rhino and currently I hate it with a vengeance.

Acoording to Trancemonkey there is no “right mood”, its all your luck that day. If there was ever a game to challenge that statement its Bonanza....

That's why I said "if you have RTP" and "long term". Fluctuations don't matter at the end of the month (or even 7 days) your playtime on the 98% slot will be close to double than the 96% one.

Well from experience, I get more playtime on Bonanza than that I do on slots with a higher RTP most of the time. Only the other day, I put in £100 on £0.20 spins and played for 5 hours and ended up £10 in profit. Did the same a few months ago, this time 11 hours worth of playtime with no profit or loss at the end of it.

A lot of it depends how the RTP is distributed. If you look at Pink Elephants or Flamebusters (higher RTP then Bonanza), the money goes very quick unless you hit a decent bonus round. Same can't be said for Bonanza with a lower RTP.

Imagine how much better Bonanza would be with 98% TRTP. Exactly 2x times better!

Math model is important (how the RTP is distributed) but you can't argue with math. The road might be different but the destination will always be the same. You will eventually make double spins with Blood Suckers (RTP 98%) than with any 96% slot.

Key word being eventually. Most players won't do 1,000 spins on a slot. A lot of players will commit a certain amount of money before moving on. I therefore think short term, variance / volatility determines the play time length.
