If the diamond cascade had came on the last spin I’d probably have to have been revived.
Managed to over half loses on it in last few weeks so I’m abandoning ship for a while ;-)

The streak on Bonanza continues - 1460 x . Biggest spins - got a retirgger in game to make it 42 spins, went up to 36 multiplier. Sadly no diamonds. Thanks to all those who lost to enable me to get a 1000x plus

Nice screenshot but for that many spins thats just a disgrace payout surely? chance of hitting that is as rare as anything and doesn't pay in the thousands? makes em realise how the big hits are just a pipe dream

I know why you’re saying - in DOA I don’t yell ‘1000x’ but with Bonanza it’s a minor miracle. Think that says it all about the payouts.
Having said that I wouldn’t have put it past it to give me a sub 100
The best bit of that win is the prettiness of the scatters, not the actual win!

scatters would have had me getting lube out expecting record wins. but that hit proves to me its capped 100%
anyway id take that hit right now. my luck is dog shit. 70 pound down today to trigger this......hellocasino has given me nothing in 48hrs deposits after deposits. another deposit limit and break from this game needed

yeah I have a conversation screenshot of him from a friend who went into a discord channel owned by the viewbot company and him asking some question why his wasnt working one day to the support on discord. He used a different name but accidentally posted his twitch username for the administrator of the company to look into. So I dont trust that channel, unfollowed and wont go into it anymore.
Sorry to hear about your sessions going to shit. But once you get frustrated, its def time. I barely play slots anymore at all. Maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I am not forced to play all the slots that have come out but I do enjoy the graphics but the payouts are too lottery for me. And I ended up annoyed. Its no longer fun for me unless I play old slots where I am familiar with the volatility. Ive cut down to only one or two channels on twitch. Too many frauds out there. Now some suspect stuff about casinotest coming out. Just not into it. I watch the one or two Ive known for years and know them well who I know are legit and thats it.
You can always tell the real money streamers. They take breaks and get frustrated.
Hope you can stick around the forum still like I do even though we dont really play any more. But if not, Im sure everyone gets it

If you don't mind me asking, why the drastic decision to self exclude? you seem to have had a few good wins recently, did you tilt or just sick of gaming?

I'll surely miss your videos Interlog...
Just a reality check. I used to keep a spreadsheet where I religiously recorded all deposits and withdrawals. I stopped that some time ago so never had a record what the financial situation was in terms of loss / profit. So one day recently, I went through my casino accounts and it was just sickening the amount of money I lost this year.
It was never a question of not being able to afford to lose the money (mortgage paid off ages ago, no kids, well paying job etc.) but just thinking what it could have bought was the last straw that broke the camels back so to speak.
Also worth remembering that the big win video / screen shot section never tells you if a player is up or down for the day/week/month/year.

Well done interlog ) nice to know some of us are taking the losses seriously. I for one am down 25k this year & I think it's time to say goodbye to online gaming
I've already cut back closed loads of accounts next step end of June if small deposits don't bring some good wins I shall be hitting game too for a year & go back to playing at live casinos once a month.
Good luck with it,hope your going to hang around here still)

I commend you for cutting back your gambling drastically after losing 25,000 quid. You will never see those mental American YouTubers take a break if they were down the amount. I reckon they don’t care about winning or losing, just getting attention from a fawning public who loves seeing people act like blithering idiots in public. Gambling and YouTube is their profession.
I could never do it. 85% slots rarely pay out.

Well here's my view & it may well piss a few people off. But for what it's worth I'm finding it highly likely that the games which are server based are indeed not random but controlled via ip address.
So I have put the effort into the last 5 months gaming at various casinos & have come to the conclusion that my play has become no longer viable online.
So instead of bitching I've done something about it. I think I shall just play once a month & this shall be one of the couple I have left but im capping my deposits to 500.
I just feel something is not right sadly.
One thing I shall not get round my head is the streaming of wins from streamers I've been playing at this level for nearly 5 months.i have had one win of nearly 1000x & immortal hit as screen shot. Since those hits have come I would be better not making a single deposit for the rest of the year.
These streamers get a good session more often than not. I should of recorded all my sessions & it would be a eye opener to how I am so unlucky. With the SOW & the rest of it I think by the end of the year these companies shall be down 30% of the market.
I do wish you guys good luck though
But like the saying if the fun stops Stop it's sadly now like that for me)

Couldn't agree more a very acceptable and accurate analysis of what is going on as far as I am concerned. I am only a low roller but it makes no difference if you are not on a level playing field when your supposed to be then something is wrong.

Yeah I dont even like slots anymore really only when I start drinking lol.
I think there is something weird with streamers too but only certain ones. Because the smallers guys like interlog and shaltar and billy and rewm all run fricken terrible most times. But then you go to the ones who are sponsored by the casinos and you see them streaming from their offices somehow constantly hit miracle after miracle after miracle. Im actually pretty certain they are either casino employees or work so close with them they have slots designed for them or something. No way these little streamers go months without winning while letsgiveitaspin has maybe 2 bad sessions then win triple what he lost the next session...every single time.

Yep clearly that's what I'm on about. You nailed it smaller streamers don't get anywhere the same luck as big streamers. My point being they can play for hours at 3 per stake onwards & get great gaming I can deposit the same ammount including 100% matches & not get even close in terms of play.
I've just had enough of watching the patterns . Ps I can hit big at 30p & 60p & 90p bets .
Had some points to use 16 quid lasted of a hour min stakes five sets over 100x bets .
Doesn't happen whilst playing a fiver or tenner a pull.

I have to disagree here. I have met Kim in person, have personal contact with him on almost a daily basis and I can categorically state that he plays slots that you and I play. There is no special slot, no special RTP, no setting that can be activated to get him those wins etc.
What streamers like him do though, is play a lot. And if you play a lot you are going to get some big wins more often than your average slot player that has a few hours a week or so.

Again, for x18 multiplier disappointing to get sub 1000x. Typical of this game - pure propaganda
Still, take a 691x. Closing in on Bonanza break even

It has been asked before on many occasions, but I'd like to ask again: do you all think that the 'profitability' of slots is (much) less than say 10 years ago? Across all online casinos?
Slots are still the filthy robbing machinations they ever were, just that the people they're robbing tend to have less money than years gone by
Bonanza's still the shit though, and should be absolved of any blame
Hope this helps

The problem will come when overall turnover of a casino drops. The cake is only so big and when you have so many casinos opening up "Willy Nilly" the slices are getting a lot smaller the only way around it is to compromise rtps to maintain the same profit. It's like a lot of other great money making schemes, they are always great if you are in at the start. The problem comes as time goes by and nobody restricts the amount of people who can nibble at the cake. One day there is not enough left to feed everyone and things have to change and that day isn't far away. If it hasn't arrived already.

Yes. Most machines are designed and set for less chance to win now IMO. You have a couple like what I have won on the last 2 weeks Buffalo Gold and The Walking Dead that it's possible to win massive on in the live casino's. I am finding here anyway most slots are progressive's now.

Its why I have pretty much quit for like 6 months now aside from a go here and there. Everything they are pumping out that has nice graphics is all super high volatility. Out of 100 players, 1 guy wins huge a couple medium wins and the other 95 players get smoked. Just not into 500 bonuses rounds paying 10x and then 1 finally paying a few hundred x. BTG and thunderkick are the ones leading and changing the market in regards to the super high volatile. Now even other software companies are cloning BTG lol.
Look at all the book slots out and being cloned. Its crazy.
Slots have been ruined for me. Only time I like it is when Im starting to get a lil hammered and fire up some microgaming.
I think there is some truth in this. Just look at the games that are being designed. They are mostly all or nothing games. You either enter dead spin city or hit something very decent. Rarely something in between.
That doesn't make the slots rigged of course. The mathematics have changed. I am guessing because that is what the market/audience wanted.
Didn't see your post but I hazard a guess that overall your playing account shows some kind of loss? My earlier post about streamers hitting more big win frequently doesn't imply that overall they are in profit on slots. Most streamers say that overall they are not in profit from playing the slots alone. Some successful ones have turned playing slots online into a living but that is only because of the affiliate commission that they make.

I think alot of new players will be put off by this, I mean I only started a little over a year ago and noticed how it's now far more common to have high volatility games which have bonus rounds that can zero you and be 500 spins apart and that's simply no fun for a new player. But then again the low variance games are being ridiculed by seasoned players and providers take notice of that too. I notice that when I want to play a lower variance game that still has a decent payout I'm always having to look through the older games. The games that annoy me the most are those that play high variance and pay low variance, Nextgen is great at designing those.

its just slots devs being lazy and not testing their games enough. If you were in charge of testing a slot and if you notice how 25 dead spins in a row followed by 0.2x win happens often, you dont just say "hey guys its good to go".
Any slot that can have 99 dead spins and 1 feature that pays 0x, in 100 spins is not going to be a hit no matter its potential. And most new slots are like that. Its still possible to make slots like DoA, Bdba or even IR. While those slots can also be dead most of the time even if you dont hit free spins you get a decent playtime.
Reason why Bonanza is popular, even if people on here dont like it that much is because its base game is... playable? Even if free spins are rare and sometimes you dont get them for years, you rarely have stuff like 95 dead spins in 100 spins. On the other hand we have Redtiger slots where 9/10 times if i set it for autoplay with 20 buyins loss, i hit loss limit after 20 or 21 spins. A few weeks ago i got 100 free spins @40c from willhill on their puss something slot. I won $4,90 with it.
Ive been on the other side of redtiger variance too, when in under 10 spins i hit 250x, 190x and finally 800x on their halloween something slot. I also got from $30 to $880 in 1hr of playing just Treasure mine on 40c-80c bets, so if you are that one person who wins big and wins quickly, slots will be great. But for that to happen there are other 90 players who will have 30 dead spins in a row. In the long run its probably not a good tradeoff for neither casinos or players.
6-7 yrs ago i seriously didnt even think about using deposit limits and i was playing both more often, and spending more money too. But sessions where you have zero playtime really werent so common so now i have deposit limits at all places i play at simply because new slots are much more tilty. Was that done with purpose, im not sure. Except in redtiger case where im 100% sure they are doing things purposely to tilt players. Either that or they think how having a slot that has 1/15 hit rate AND fake feature teases is somehow ... fun?
and when it comes to streamers, i dont think they have more big wins on average. Its just that some of them are playing 15 hrs a day, so its only natural they will have higher amount of big wins. As people already said most of their income comes from affiliating so their goal is to be online and visible to potential players as long as possible, and most of bigger guys often play at places like VS/Rizk and such so i dont really think there is anything shady going on. Im sure there are some questionable ones too but i simply dont watch those so i cant comment on it.

Well think my patience has finally gone. £50 gone in last 3 hours at min stake(lucks been that shit i was just hoping for even a small win) and not one bonus. throw in random disconnects it has stopped me wanting to play. just feel like im compensating the slot then throw back 20% of my losses in x amount of days.

I gravitate towards this usually after a cashout with chump change and give it a whirl. True to form, you have to pump a fair wedge into it before it returns the favour.
Get from e.g 20 to 80 and you instantly know the game will claw back that profit in record time. The wait for the bonus has just seemingly got a lot longer
Not before GOL-trolling you along the way mind. And hey presto, before you know it, you've not only lost your gains but now find the game in full rage mode, up until you even lose that initial 20
Rinse and repeat.
Had about two sessions in hundreds where it's gone against the grain and sustained slightly higher bets for decent profit. Even had several sub 10x bonuses in the session's dying embers to sweeten the deal. Oh how this game loves to give!

Oh man, wouldn't post this normally but Bonanza had rarely a D for me in the past few weeks. And today I won 10FS on SuperFlip in the Freeroll Battle and i actually hit twice Free Spins with those paying a total of $13.40.
Too little for Afterlife: Inferno, I fired up Bonanza and on spin 34 it gave a rather strange assembly of G-O-L-D. Only the G was present on the initial spin, first cascade then O, on the second then L and on the third the D with G-O-D being stacked. Go figure!
And the result will make sure I will never play Bonanza at $0.20 again.
1,118x bet, biggest pay was a bunch of 6OAK green gems

And after 37 spins, GOLD again with another strange assembly.
Only two stones disappeared on the initial spin & G-O on reels 1 and 4. I was about to roll my eyes saying "no way" and it drops in L-D in exactly those two positions. Now I really rolled my eyes.
$1 bet - 188x stake!

Nice hits Harry
I had one of those sessions yesterday where you can't go wrong: 15 spins in at 40p a go the screen went green with a sea of Jacks- boom:472 ways of them paying 472 bet. 30 spins later GOLD+5 fell straight in for 190 x then 100 spins later hit the feature and it threw in 5 extra spins on the first spin for an eventual 150x payout. And I'd thought I'd had all my fun for the week when I had 305 spins during the feature playing Montezuma on Monday!

It paid just over 600x Snorky and I was only playing at 30p.I've had better returns on a 100 spins but it was great entertainment value! Funny thing was I upped the stake to 90p after that feature to play off the last few quid and cash out a round £300 and the feature came in 4 spins later and paid £80 for 19 spins, resulting in a £370 cashout
