New Slot Announcement Bonanza by Big Time Gaming

[nutnut]

I did over 8000 consecutive spins at ladbrokes when they first got it, but I think I lost about £80 at 20p stake, so the base game was quite kind as I had £1600 worth of spins for £80 but I was never ahead once, thats the madness of this game, what other slot will give you that much turnover but its all for nothing. I don't know how you calculate these things but what would my rtp have been?

This goes to game design and fairness, where are the 1500-2000x wins after all these hundreds of millions of spins that get put through this game?

I tried one last 50 this morning still no bonus well over 3000 spins in 24hrs and down about 500 not one bonus. I've limited my accounts for a week so I'm done bar any free b9nus floating. Not wasting any more money on a game this bad.

 

[curremon]

Seriously what the hell is going on ? It seems impossible to get even G O L... BUT G O seems to be every 5th spin... my tinfoil hat is never been this full of sweat and tears

 

[steveh35]

Clearly the release of Donuts tomorrow means BTG need to get their money from elsewhere so are getting it from Bonanza lol.

 

[mina1929]

I had the most amazing play on Bonanza, not the greatest of wins but the bonus just kept coming in and in.

The best win I think is the 0.40c bet

 

[slotmaster]

It's the crack cocaine of slots it seems. It is hard to play other games, at least low rolling....

Only reason no one minds is that minimum bet is set to 20p. If they made default spins £2 we'd all be in trouble

They use to be on BTG first games Dragon Born, Then I and many others told them "uh you might want to drop the min bet FFS"

That 27 spin bonus at 2 stake would have me reaching for a hammer. That bonus Round sums up that slot. Just awful

I know that bonus round was shocking but still I had bonuses just coming and coming, more files to upload

Its your turn nutnut, hope you get a great win soon, sending you lucky fairy dust

 

[mina1929]

Bonanza is crazy in a good way in the last couple of days

Not the greatest for the $4 bets but my balance is way up

 

[dunover]

That 7-scatter trigger Mina posted - I had that once (it's in one of my videos) and guess what?? 132x nearly identical to yours. Proves the bonuses are scripted. Like the 5-scatter drop-in which nearly always pays around 40x.

I knew when that 7 scatter came in that it would not pay much, I have been watching your videos and learnt from them

I have been getting really good base game hits like yourself on your last video

 

[steveh35]

Last night I thought my Bonanza blip was over, but no I got the bonus and immediately got an extra 5 spins for only the third time ever, I was getting excited for a big win then... 8 dead spins in a row and a win of £22 to add to this after the bonus I played for over an hour with good base game wins to keep my balance and 15 GO to L's. If I saw another GOL i was gonna scream.

To sum up howe bad my gambling luck is right now. I did a bet on England to win, Kane to score and Henderson booked, which would have paid over £300 for £20 bet.........as soon as I seen 5 minutes injury time I knew Columbia would score but even so it was just another punch to my gut after terrible luck on Bonanza. But gambling is weird when your doing bad everything goes against you and when your doing good you can't go wrong.

As for Bonanza I have to take a break, I can keep chasing the night like you had with bonuses galore, but when you go over 3000 spins without a bonus the game makes you feel like something is up. My only regret is pplaying back that win I had few days back. The game for me is nothing more than a compensate slot, so yes if I keep going I'm sure I will get a good win but when you losing 500 to win 200 then doing same thing over and over you are mentally being told you are winnings but it's not possible.

So break is best cause right now I hate every slot especially this one! Glad to see your winning though keep it going!

 

[Jono777]

This piece of shit chobbled thru £100 on 0.60 - 0.40 bets last night with no bonus, no big win count up's, highest win all night £8

Previous luck past few sessions has been smaller scale but no different.

Only saved a PC world visit thanks to Pickford and Dyer!

 

[dnight]

Nice compensation vor my recent looses (maybe a bit more). Sometimes I don't get this game. Deposited 20 Euro which went down to 4 Euro very fast. After that it gave me GOLD+5, so I thought "Hell no, that's maybe a 5x win with 20ct Bet. And then it released the beast it should usually be. Got a 4 Scatter retrigger in this Freespins Round, too. After that switched to 2 Euro bet and it gave me 2 more decent GOLDS within 150 Spins. If this would always be the case, I would love this game. It will f**k me again I think, so it's more a Love - Hate relationship

 

[Glassheart]

I broke the national record at work today so I'm gonna chuck a few hundred at Bonanza tommorow night to celebrate.

If I don't post a screenshot it it will have bled me dry

[snorky510238]

I had my first ever back to back bonuses last night at Redbet. Both dropped straight in almost identical positions. X350 and x60 can’t complain.

 

[slotmaster]

hit gold 3 times now this morning, just hit 200x and hit 500x on DHV! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Glassheart]

Had an insane run on Bonanza at Skyvegas today. Turned £50 into a £2000 withdrawal.

I was on too much of a high to take any screenshots. Buzzing


Comp coming soon once it hits my bank

[Jono777]

5-6 lots of GOLD @ Leo Vegas today, only got about £30 above starting balance tho, 2 x 100x bonuses, rest rubbish so no cash out and no escape (plan to call it a day with a few slots next time I hit 1,000x on them, Bonanza being one of them)

Honestly best plan jon. Next 300 plus win I get I'm done. But all.other slots bores me. So Don't have urge to play others thankfully

 

[steveh35]

I have just watched a Dunover video and he said if he could marry Bonanza he would, indeed just like a wife it bleeds you dry, gives you the odd good time occassionnally and eventually you get bored of it and find a new model but end up going back hoping it will be as good as when you first met.

What sort of women do you know?

 

[thebigs]

Glad to see some people winning on the slot as since Monday i have lost over 800 euro playing mainly 40c bets.I am sure in the 6 days of playing it i think ive hit 4 bonus round and the best paying just over 100x stake.
Never thought i would ever chase a slot but i have this week and i will just try and learn from it but what a pure evil slot this is.
My other main slot Raging Rhino has been just as bad so i hope not too many others have done the same as me and lost their bolloxs chasing shadows.
My bad year continues but its so damn hard to see loss after loss after loss without thinking something is not right.
Keep hearing all the slots are random but how can a bad run continue so much.

 

[Jd666]

So it can pay on the 17 spin trigger.
No sign of a L before this point, then it brought GOLD straight in with a win and brought the +5 down.
Got up to 18x
Had a red jewel missing on first reel for a bloody massive hit on the last spin.
But still not bad.

 

[nikantw]

It is time for the final verdict on the question: What is the potential of Bonanza?

Some if not most think it has jackpot-like potential, but that is not true.
Officially best and only answer was "your chance of a huge win is the same as Donald Trump becoming the next Pope".

Mathematically it is proven that any wins over 14000x are so rare that they have no real impact on the RTP.
All casinos have been reassured by BTG that a monster win will never happen (I wonder how they can make sure of that).

Blueprint uses the same math on its Megaways and is more honest about it with a cap on 5000x win. This means that in Bonanza also any wins over 5000x are extremely rare.
Latest BTG interview: "Donuts has bigger potential than Bonanza".

After all that it is safe to say that the true potential of Bonanza is only 5000x.

If you are looking for something bigger you should play another slot.
Enough is enough with the half-truths and the vague misleading statements. UKGC and MGA should force them to tell the truth about the odds for a specific win.
At least we should provide that info here at CM. If BTG wants they can say what the odds are for a specific win over 5000x. No more vague misleading statements or jokes.

LOL - There mere fact that these blokes had to CHEAT in their own competition to have some good screenshots says it all (Re: Dragon Born). Bonanza is the WORST high variance game that I have played - PERIOD.

Nothing will change. BTG are always laughing all the way to to Bank - These guys are no fools, their game plan has been executed, wallets dried out and still there is some promise of a major win. I anticipate that IF one ever shows up - it will be another 3 - 4 years before we even see another.

Lovely Game, Lovely concept - SHADY Coding.

Those are my two curses as well, bonanza and raging rhino, lost thousands at min stake to these two buzzards. I'm coming round to the idea that if you play mainly these two you have to use a deposit limit [much as I hate those] if you reach the limit you're forced to walk away thus reducing the damage their addictive power can have on your wallet. I'm a low roller so at the moment my daily deposit limit at sky vegas is £25. I think I'm now going to put a daily limit on all my accounts and see where I am in 6 months.

 

[pinnit2014]

Surely unlimited spins would mean the payout would be zero as the game simply wouldn’t stop in order for you to collect the winnings?

 

[goatwack]

A very valid and serious point

I think we need the BTG rep to clarify this technical conundrum

 

[snorky510238]

Unless the reel strips were infinite unlimited multiplier can’t happen as there has to be a point where all symbols have vanished. Whoever programmed it will know the max the multiplier can reach and if you know the full reel strips it would be complex but you can work it out because there has to be a point at which no matter what combination you have the cascade won’t drop in a win. I think the most drops I have ever had was 13 and that was way higher than any other as I had a few 6’s and 7’s. That will be the failsafe behind bonanza, the fact that it can’t go unlimited. If you think about unlimited it has you thinking in the 100’s even 1000’s. Given the Millions of spins people just on this forum have done between them and countless bonus games if it was in the realms of possibility to hit a massive multiplier someone would surely have got a bit higher than in the 30’s or whatever it is. My personal best is x18 and I have hit in the region of 250 bonus rounds.

 

[curremon]

Big Time GamingI-Gaming Industry Representative if you are reading this please tell us why you changed this game ?
There is only 2 ways to get feature nowadays 1. you get G O and then L D drops in same cascade 2. you get GOLD straight away. There is no longer G O L and cascade gives D...
Was it too easy to get feature ? I think game was just fine , but now i feel like you have destroyed my favorite slot... 5000 spins wihtout single feature and i really can count G O L + cascade with my 2 hand fingers....
We have seen this with rhino.. why you do same thing ?

 

[dunover]

LOL if you check my latest video out when it's posted, you'll see my only feature came like that, G then O then nothing then 'LD' lol. My last 20 features are NONE of 17 spins, 12 straight-in GOLD, 6 GO then LD and 2 with GOL then the D. So it still happens, but less than I reckon it used to.

Anyone noticed how the gold-coloured number which indicates 12, 17 spins etc. just before you start the feature has changed in colour to an orangey-red now??

 

[Full tilt]

The first time I played it without realising there'd been an update I got the feature and seeing the 12 in red thought I'd activated hot mode LOL.

I've found since the update I've been hitting the feature more often: at Casumo Sunday evening I hit the feature 5 times in an hour: the first 2 gave an extra 5 spins during the feature and I had a 17 spin cascade in.
They paid X360, 110, 80 , 70 and 105 so no complaints from me.

 

[mina1929]

I had great luck in the last couple of weeks on Bonanza and still getting the GOLD in now

Yeah but how you get gold ? that was the main point here

 

[SpinUk]

Wouldnt they have to pay the testing fees if they messed with maths again? I find that unlikely. More likely this is part of the scripted RTP cycle (controversial).

 

[Big Time Gaming]

A minor update was released in June with a Baltic language pack.

Our new engine shader was responsible for the faded out spins amount. This has been corrected and we have a release in place that will remedy this. It’s in the Scientific Games compliance queue.

It may sound odd but the front end and the back end are completely arms length. If we make a minor addition to the front end cosmetically, the back end remains the same.

The back end has been the same since it launched back in December ‘16. All you’re seeing is variance, you could spin bonanza for a few thousand millennia and not see the same board. Just look at the variance of a deck of cards. The game will play how it plays which will be completely different from session to session.

In terms of unlimited multiplier it is, as long as you have free spins and incoming wins to increase it.

We don’t cap any of our wins, this is up to the Casino you play on. Always check the T&C’s.

 

[steveh35]

So BTG are you saying you could have infinite mulitpliers surely there must be some limit to the mulitplier you can't seriously be saying if you kept getting a win you could have a million x multiplier. There must be some limit to what you can win if it is genuinely unlimited will BTG/casino payout on a million x multipliers of diamonds if the freak event occured?

 

[Jono777]

Rare I do RAGE over slots these days, normally just a gentle "Oh, piss off!" upon bust and on to other things...

However, after several losing sessions and no 'L' never mind the D, this piece of filth (almost wanna use the 'C' word here) turns me from mild mannered Mr M into screaming raving lunatic!!! - FUCK OFF Bonanza!

Let me explain.....
No new information. He will never say the odds as long as he doesn't have to. That is it. The chance for a 5000x win is smaller than in Donuts (that is what he meant with "Donuts has bigger potential").
The chance for a 5000x in Bonanza is probably the same with the chance to win the 5,000,000 Mega Moolah jackpot.

Any win over 15000x is outside of the RTP calculation. It doesn't effect it. Do you understand what that means?
It means there is super super small chance for that (like Trump becoming the Pope).
But it also gives creative freedom to the programmer to postpone such events far in the future (exactly because it doesn't effect the RTP).
That last one is just a theory of mine, but I don't see any other way a casino would be protected from such a crazy win.
If you are BTG and a casino asks you "is there a chance for a freak win in the first day?" you can't just say "yes but it is small". But you can say "don't worry, it won't happen before you have made enough money to pay for it 10 times".

 

[BrianGhattas]

Seems like the D is appearing more frequently but the good bonuses are less frequent. Did have 230x and 325x results but also 6x and 7x efforts.
