New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[lockinlove]

Well just had my first ago at Hot chilli.

30 in and 90 out why i ask.............Well its because im not greedy.

At 20p a spin id rather be 60 in profit than play 1/2 pound a spin and chase a sum thats seen once in a blue moon then end up 100-200 down.

FWIW my take is its not these slots thats killing it. its the increase in streamers showing there large wins that changes the mindset of those watching.

You watch and see the big wins and all set yourself for your slice of the action, many forget the 10 of thousends they lose while waiting for the big stream. Until ppl start to go back to basics and realise playing is for fun and not for profit then there wont be much hope of entertainment/A good slot.

Its aint the slots that need to change its us

Disagree. Most people in here have claimed their hope is to make a deposit last for entertainment purposes and not a way to make money.

You can look through my post history. I was on a sick heater last year. Up $20,000. big win after big win. It was luck, extreme rare luck and nothing else. Much like you have had on this slot. We have seen this time and time again. people feel invincible and think there is a strategy. There isnt and the luck will run out and I would imagine in the future your posts will be like the others. Full of frustration and accusations that the slot must have been changed. Use deepsky as an example. Much like your posts to be quite honest. And many big wins and quite the heater. To now now being a bit disgruntled.

I have lost almost nothing back. I got bored.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Because it may never come around again

But they do use and try to make money.

And your right it may never come round again but taking that one big win out the equation the rest is made up of 40/50 WD where most are of a small value but are up from my deposit. i Account for all deposits/wd/spin session and even before i started playing Bonanza and other BTG games i only been down 1 month in the past 16 and that was only around £40 (March last year). I don't call it a stratagy more avoiding the need to get greedy. i.e if i put 20 in and after a few 100 spins i have 40 then its wd time.

In the last 16 months its payed for 2 holidays.A garden make over.New pc with screen my daughters bedroom all kitted out and financed my family whiles i was having cancer treatment and its all down to taking that bit and not wanting to wait for that X1000 that everone seems to long for.

It’s the air of anticipation that’s gone for me. When I was a smoker years ago I used to take the laptop into the kitchen, light the fag in the reasonably assumed hope of a great hit when the bonus came.

Now I just click start and go ‘here we go, more shite on a 3 quid stake’.

It was only last week that I was playing one game going ‘listen pal, just either pay me good or take it off me’ - for the first time in ages, or ever, a slotting session felt like a arduous task.

For me it was much the same and all slots just beat the entertainment right out of me. Amber bonus. 10x after 200 spins and a beating in the base game time and time again. 700 spins on bonanza bonus drops in pays 10x. Flame busters same. Thunderstruck 2 hundreds of spins get a bonus that pays 20x. Shitstorm, wild desire. garbage. magic mirror 2 bonus after being destroyed in base game pays 20x. Try new slots like jurassic giants. 10 bonuses in a row of under 10x.

I would get a bonus and not even flinch. If a bonus paid 50x I actually felt myself being shocked.

Yes I ran super good but I know it was a hot streak and rare and when the slots settled back in. It was months of nothingness. It was so boring. Even to the point I would hit a bonus and get side tracked about something and forgot I got a bonus til I opened the slot another day and it was there. I was like ok this is ridiculous and slowly I lost interest.

Yeah I know, its hard to listen to this because I had some really good wins and most people dont get that so I should feel spoiled. But I also played alot so it doesnt take long to get 400-500 bonuses that pay 10x.

The only time I was having fun was doing a $200 deposit with a 100% match on MG only casinos and doing .90 a spin and having a drink and listening to music. Until fortune lounge got taken over by new management and bonus banned all my accounts. Then I really lost the passion.

yes some do and thats their first mistake. The only way to approach slots is before you deposit know full well that money is mostly gone and its just for entertainment but have the small hope maybe something nice will happen.

trust me, I had the exact same run as you. Month after month after month 1000x here...1000x there. 500x all over the place. It ends and when it goes back to normal is sucks. Its probably a part of the reason why I quit. I was so used to having fun and winning that when the slots go back to normal its the most boring thing ever.

I actually did a $20 deposit last week. I have never ever deposited that low ever. It was always $200-$500 deposits. But I just dont care to have that money locked on a casino when I dont have interest to play it very long. That $20 shockingly turned into $170 and I cashed out. It was on an MG only casino of course. $170 cashout is very tiny. But I know the math of depositing $20 and winning almost 10x your deposit is quite rare and would be a shame to lose it back out of principle of the win.

Just make sure you are aware of it when your streak comes to an end. Because if you dont, it will turn into a chase and frustration. If I had magic powers I would cut you off as soon as you lost a few deposits in a row and make you leave a nice big winner to never return.

Its aint the slots that need to change its us

With respect, I have to disagree on this one.

I've been playing online since 2003, gambling in general since I was 18.

The experience is there, my (online) budget has not changed by much, I am still in control (stakes, frequency of deposits, when to hit cash out button etc etc)

What has changed is the industry and the thinking behind casino operation and game design. This could be a very lengthy post and one I cba to fully type so I'll try with a few bullet points and maybe a tbc....

* Slots would previously take your money slower (more medium variance, lower variance, who knows??) - Now its grab their dosh as fast as possible.
* Competition has grown exponentially so allowances have to be made for this to retain profits / existence even.
* Licencing requirements have got stricter (especially for us in the UK)
* (Risky one) Some who shall not be named have realised certain things can be "got away with" so......
* Look at Netent's older games and the dross they turn out nowadays, player friendly no more, total change.
* Gazillion megaways which will never and I mean never materialise (when do you see more than 3 reels of 7 high staked of the same symbol, if 3??)

The slots made profit, the casinos made profit, players were happy, wonder which of these 3 got dumped

The slots may not need to change totally, fair enough but maybe take a step back in time, to the GOOD times, the FAIR times.

I have read too many posts now where players (not RG issue related) have simply stopped enjoying the sessions, we ask ourselves why?

"Tell me Michael, how can a billion chinsese people be wrong?"

Well, we have to remember, us forum peeps are only a percent of players out there. We're also a fairly savvy (and demanding lol) lot. But there's countless casual (and not so casual) players out there arent ever gonna be forum members.
Sure, some has to do with what casinos can get away with and about cash-cow slots - but the casinos also look at what the players are..well..playing.
Those 'good times' and 'fair times' were also when there was a much MUCH less sized market to cater to and what said market wanted.
People want bigger, flashier, better, bigger (if known to us, near impossible) potential.

Just look at facebook. The most popular games by a country mile are slots.
Those good ol', simpler days aint coming back.

 

[dionysus]

Think of it this way - comparing those days to these days is like comparing computer solitaire to online, multi-player RPG, buy-in, add-on gaming.

 

[goatwack]

Won about £15 off that poxy fairy game at VS with some free spins. Immediately my thoughts would have been to scarper to Bonanza, such is the hardwired addiction this game likes to ingrain in players.

Of course I didn't as I am now cured

Still not a solitary deposit anywhere to be seen, it's quite empowering. So took my funds to DOA instead and got a triple- wildline within 200 spins!! (I didn't)

So many better games than this people, wake up

Fair points mate, To be honest, I am a stubborn, miserable git these days anyway, a stubborn, miserable git who hates change.

Re play and go - exactly the same mate. Used to detest them... then I hit over a grand in Gemix and started to play them more. They’ve some dross as most providers do (house of doom/the witchy one) but they aren’t scared of churning out some decent hits.

Funnily enough House of Doom is the game which started the ball rolling with this provider. (Well if I'm honest Dunover's review video of this slot is to blame)

Strange how since my 88FS bonus I can't even get a feature - Play Reactoonz a bit (screenshots thread here started that one but not had my 750x...yet) Book of Dead, Matsuri and if I have the balance Happy Halloween.

I need to start branching out as my tried, trusted(once) and tested just don't do it for me anymore.

Going back to Bonanza, the once mild irritation of as soon as I clicked spin, I knew if it was a win or not, now turns me into a raving madman after 10 or so spins

I can happily attest that this slot has as good as taken any interest I once had in slots.

When you can go thousands of spins without a bonus and session after session after session goes the same way, it becomes tedious and boredom settles in, Bonanza soon becomes a distant memory of when you seldom (if ever) got value for money and felt entertained.

God 5-6 months of nothingness at Videoslots I am sure would make anyone question the validity of continuing to play - strange but since I stopped playing I have had umpteen offers of 100% deposit bonus's (with the exception of VS) that I have deleted without batting an eye

On another note, has anyone noticed how much longer Bonanza is taking to load past few days??

More rigged algorithms to install?

Stop playing for a few weeks and they will be dropping into your mail box daily to entice you back

lol, probably true. To be honest I'm not really bothered, I've stopped depositing at pretty much everywhere apart from VS.

Seems soooo much harder to get a decent session there and win anything but at least I know when the day does come, I won't be bound by tonnes or WR or shitty fu politics

ok, 17
17 of tens of thousands; that's still a pretty phenonemal ranking, with poker at 2

 

[Reelsoffun]

Notice the vast difference between Videoslots, a casino I play regularly at and the win from William Hill

I have never had a retrigger, never had more than 12 spins and never had a decent win once at VS - go figure

Would be interesting to know if the WH session was your first on that game etc and have you ever had a big win on videoslots bonanza before your bad run? yes i know tin foil hat time lol

 

[aceking123]

Well after what ive witnessed this week I'm going to take a very long big cut out of online gambling it's got to the point where I find myself questioning if it truly is random. Once a month deposit now on & well video slot can take a whistle this place hands down has put me off playing.

It's just bollocks how can online casinos tell players that I'm getting a better rtp% than on a pub slot is beyond me. No less than 38 slots all paying below 75% nope enough is enough casinos are getting far to greedy along with suppliers.

 

[shadow123]

Fraid its all going stale for me lately,nothing paying same old dross everytime.Its been a long time since I sat down,
had a decent session on a game and felt I had been entertained for my money.
Not about profit or loss for me,I used to be able to chill for an hour playing but now every game is just hard take
followed by a crappy bonus if I am lucky.We seem to have lost something somewhere down the line.
I think game profiles must changed a lot more than I realize or my memory is failing me (quite possible)

 

[greylady]

I had a couple of very small dabbles on Bonanza on WH prior to my win and at Videoslots I had a 400x win at the start of December and nothing worth of note since, it must have had that win back at least 8x over now.

Strangely enough I was playing at a friends's house on his login whilst he watched and it was like playing a different game, gave me play time etc but back home dead as dead for me, come on 9 bonus rounds in excess of 39000 spins is diabolical for anyone!

 

[paul7388]

Maybe it is just me.

Keep reading about how these days deposits do not last and no playtime etc. compared to years ago.

But i have played online for 15 years plus.

Used to spend an absolute fortune compared to what i do these days. But seriously i feel i am getting old but i can remember what it was like online years ago as well.

Many sessions deposit £50 gone in minutes on 30p bets. Redeposit and hundreds gone in a short time no play time no half decent wins nothing.

Damn i remember playing original LOTR's at Ladbrokes. £150 gone in no time without hitting Free Spins once on minimum bet. Fecking Halloweenies £100 in 40p bets gone in no time.

I Bloody blew a small fortune on Dolphin Tale not long after its release. One of the few times i really lost control. Just kept depositing. Before i knew it i had blew £600 plus that i could not afford. Did i stop no i ended up depositing a few hundred more upping bets. Anyway struck it lucky ended up in profit withdrew and learnt my lesson . Would have really put myself in shit but came good in end. The point is slots were so cold. Hundreds of spins between bonuses that paid next to nothing. Just like it is today.

Seriously i am trying to work out maybe if a lot of people have just started playing online or have just been incredibly lucky years ago or just have selective memories.

But i can guarantee even 10 years ago i could get streaks where for weeks on end every deposit was gone in no time with no playtime at all.

And that was before we hit all these mega HV games that are either win well or bust that are out these days.

Anyway i can guarantee i get good sessions that last hours now and sessions that are over in minutes just the same today as 10 years ago. Only difference is i deposit one hell of a lot less. But then again i am not obsessed with hitting the huge wins. I am happy enough playing a slot that a good win would be few hundred times than chasing a 10000x win that probably would never happen.

Anyway don't even know why i posted that as after all everythings Rigged these days lol

 

[Reelsoffun]

Brutal raping on this slot last two weeks.

£6000 down (william hill) playing at £5 / £10 / £20 stakes.

Indeed it took and I am not joking £2000 of deposits to trigger the first bonus.
This paid me back about £1500, so "only" about £500 down! That is when I should of walked.

The chase / greed factor then kicked in, It then paid another bonus pretty quickly on a £10 stake which paid a paltry £300.
I continued to play at tilt stakes and it sucked approx £4000 of me, It did give a bonus on £5 which paid minimal about £150.

I closed the game down and set a deposit limit in place.

Went to slots million, £4000 yes £4000 total deposits, high stakes again £5 / £10 / £20 stakes.

It took again £2000 approx to get a bonus (£5 stake) it paid peanuts.
I upped the bet to £10, the bonus dropped pretty quickly after the first about 20 spins (this paid about £800.

So from being overall up about £8000 on different sites, it has sucked it all back.

Moral is for me, when your ahead or well ahead as I was, walk run take the money get the bloody hell off it (it remembers dont you know)

IP address tracking / winning too much / email address / username / etc etc etc.

Of course, all tinfoil / conspiracy theories..................

Another scenario typical of compensated behavior, big suck then a big win but not quite enough to walk even tho you was probably back to near 90+% at that point with the win of 1500 + all your recycled wins...

 

[Supababe]

Just a quick query for my CM friends as the casino in question doesn’t seem to think there is a problem...

If your round ended like this.... and gave you the £2.10 win.... would you have an issue?
Nice replies only please (I’m happy to lose fairly)

It looks like there should have been another win, bottom 3 A's at least.

 

[Supababe]

I can’t see reason why this would be the final screen waiting for the next spin... it happened on a Few occasions in autoplay but I couldn’t get a screen shot, so switched to manual and sure enough..... wins not paying.

Now I’m just waiting for the good old reply of “malfunction voids play. Here’s 60p”

I think it is

Its the new infatuation of HV slots. Thats what HV slots do. worse base game and bonus payouts and the odd rare big hit. Therefore, deposits simply wont last as long playing these slots on average

You've won 2.10 from just 3 aces on 60p bet?it's played the next play without you seeing it.
Ive quite often had the balance increase before the spin has happened onscreen

This happens to me sometimes too but even when the balance updates early it doesn’t usually show the win amount too.

Additionally, why haven’t the aces cascaded?

If you go back a few pages you will see I posted about this same issue. But no one responded. So apparently they're happy this slot takes winnings and doesn't pay you out. It's happened at least 6 times to me. It's a disgrace.

I got one exactly the same a week or two ago. Heart stopping number of spins followed by sheer disappointment. Horrible mean game sometimes.

 

[dnight]

I don't know if I'm the only one but since extra chili release this slot is totally dead. Deposited 300 on this fucker over the last week and got exactly nothing. Don't matter with which amount you start it goes straight down south. Will take a huge break from this bloodsucker.
