Well bless my soul. This was a bit of a surprise. It was playing a bit erratically to say the least. Held me on that small balance with a few semi decent base hits ( and I had a feeling it might drop GOLD) then in it pops. What I didn’t expect was what followed. I had a few hits then with about 5 spins left I had consecutive retriggers. a couple of spins later I had what seemed like a decent amount of Emeralds or whatever they are and bang £134. Went on to do x1150. My best bonanza by far. I thought to myself it must be broken and I was right as you can see below a few spins later it just Blew up

What the hell. I had 32 ways of diamonds and they just disappeared without adding the win.Only joking the truth is I will never know what the cascade was as it just ended without showing the result. As you can see from the above post it’s becoming a regular thing. The play on it tonight was awful like playing an old 33 record from the 50’s crackling and so laggy on the spins.

Looks like the diamond miners snuck in during the night. I can feel a sinkhole coming on here in a few years.
So many pathetic bonus rounds now I don't get excited any more when I trigger GOLD.
Maybe it's still clawing back Dunover's 7k win ;-)
No, seriously another game I used to like 'King Kong Cash' went this way.
To start with reasonable base game, quite frequent bonus rounds that paid quite reasonably but then the base game dried up, the bonus rounds were less frequent & they paid very little.
Gets me to thinking maybe these slots just turn into money grabbers once they've 'spent' their winning spins.
It's not supposed to be that way though. They're supposed to re-cycle but maybe most players have left hating them by the time that comes round or they cease to exist anymore.

Bonanza is like a dog it will eat whatever you put in front of it. The key is to limit the amount of food you put in the bowl.

I hear this, I stay on it longer than I should, Mind you the 500x win above was a little after I was thinking about closing the slot.
But I do stay on certain slots for too long.
Had the pleasure of Bonanza running near-seamlessly at an unspecified site. So gone was the infamous "Quick spin= win, longer spin=lose", which was nice.
Especially chipper as BTG have had 27 updates to rectify this immersion- breaking phenomenon.
That aside, I basked in a glorious session, where I got up to £130 at one point!!!
But then I went to 60p bets.
Never go Full- 60p.

Bonanza has divorced me 
Seeing that not many have been having much luck on it, maybe its not such a bad thing but do miss BTG games though

Unfortunately once you go past a certain point on any slot, the play 99% of the time gets progressively worse. Once past that point the chances of recovery are slim and slimmer. If they were truly hmm what’s that word I am looking for? This would happen a little more often. Not that I have the shiny suit on. Just saying.I hear this, I stay on it longer than I should, Mind you the 500x win above was a little after I was thinking about closing the slot.

Oh sounds like another update! Is this a going to actually pay version or how different is it going to pay version?

I don’t know but I wish they would get it right. It’s becoming increasingly frustrating playing btg on a mobile. You have to load every game at least twice. DHV won’t unload so I have to switch my phone off and on to get out of it. Bonanza has half the screen missing as I posted above, that is happening more frequently. Extra chilli seems so unbalanced it’s unreal, plays like a bag of 99% of the time. If you needed discouraging from playing these games btg are actually giving you maximum assistance.

I can’t load bonanza anywhere. I have heard a few people state similar on certain sites but I was wondering what the latest info is? Please if anybody knows the score.

I got 6 features in 1852 spins the other night, which paid:
296x
2x
159x
71x
206x
100x
I don't think anything has changed on it TBH, it's just that with that crazy average feature frequency, your peaks and troughs on it are going to be very pronounced. (Admittedly I've done well on this slot, and my lifetime RTP is 111% after 7200 spins.
Skip to 1h20m for the Bonanza feature section.

Nice hit on IR Chops.
One of my to go slots when running low on funds as it can dish out some really nice wins on the free spins.
An old classic that never bores me.
Jammin Jars showed it's true colors,and they didn't look pretty.
And nearly a 5OAK of the top symbol on TS..

Is it just me or is the last free spin on Bonanza nearly always a dead spin!
Not that it matters as everything is predetermined but it would be nice to actually feel a sense of some excitement at actually getting something in a cascade at the arse end of the free spins.

It's true that it looks like that. However, we tend to notice the last spin because it's the last one and it's the highest multiplier. The 3rd spin and 7th spin (for example) miss just as much but we don't keep track because we have no reason to.
This phenomenon it called confirmation biais and it's a big part of gambling and gamblers in general.
Not on this slot.
The last spin, yes, that's one thing. Yet pretty commonplace across most free spins on many games.
More impressive is Bonanza's ability to create four or five consecutive tail-end spins with such alarming precision. Pretty good for a game that plays out in 'Real time'

Yeah you are right in what you say about noticing the last spin slots more when I think about it, but I can't ever remember actually winning anything of note from the last spin on this.
First few spins also "Aw FFS!" usually gets muttered if the first 3-5 spins are dead, especially on Extra Chilli 8 spins.
How do we know (and me not having to re-read 289 pages of this thread) that the bonus round is not decided when triggered, feels very scripted to me especially with a 17 spin start.

Errrrm no its not, on bonanza, each spin is randomly picked, it is not a predetermined bonus amount.
This has also been confirmed by BTG.
Ok great, good to know, suppose I've got to to take the BTG rep at his word.
It just all feels scripted to me but I think that about most slots. I guess I've played to much SG,WMS and such like over the years!

If it works how we are supposed to believe it works how does it choose how many ways to portray on a single game? My guess is that has a separate response from the server with not all the ways having an equal chance of appearing. Obviously the smaller ways have a greater chance of appearing. If this is correct it’s uncanny how many times you go hundreds of spins without seeing the 117,649 and then it appears twice in 3 or 4 spins. A bit to consistently to be random Imo.

Take BTG for their word?
This was the company who were posting up fake winning screen shots of their games in a pathetic attempt to get people rowing them.
Untrustworthy.

I find not just the last spin but anytime I get a decent multiplier its always the last 3 or 4 spins that end up dead.

Let’s face it what’s the only other thing they could say. Yes it’s all predetermined and controlled and have everybody up in arms about being mislead. From the industries side of things that’s not an option.

There is one other thing BTG may be worth clarifying, in an attempt to put peoples mind at rest. Whilst I do totally believe each free spin is a call to the back end server as explained, are the pool of potential results consistent?
Unlike many, I do not believe BTG bonus rounds are in any way predetermined. If they were I’d suggest there wouldn’t be so many manufacturers falling over themselves to license the megaways math model. However, if the back end pool of results altered from spin to spin then that would go some way to explaining the results being reported (dead last spins).
For what it’s worth, I believe this to be perception as I’ve had a number of last spin wins on Bonanza/Extra Chilli, just that most were not of the bonus busting variety.

If each spin is not predetermined and is just a nornal spin surely people would be getting gems at 20x on the last spin it has to be controlled somehow or what is to stop the free spins going on forever and constant retriggers and unlimited multipliers.

Maybe because retriggers are rare and it is actually quite common for Bonanza to go a number of spins in regular gameplay without a win. I’ve genuinely had something like a 0.3x win from 12 free spins on Extra Chilli. I’ll dig out the photo. Wasn’t best impressed.
I haven’t really paid much attention to the huge Bonanza/Extra Chilli wins on YouTube and if they have significant wins on the last spin or two.

Last spin wins in the bonus are just as common / uncommon as any other spins imo.

It has to be controlled for sure. Casinos wouldn’t entertain a slot that you could hit megaways of diamonds on max bet and a x50 multiplier or similar. It wouldn’t be worth the sweat.

The worst game for being predetermined that is obvious Imo is big bad wolf. Every time you get to the 3rd house with 12 or so spins left it just goes into death mode and kills them all for around x5.

all that really means is that later rounds are weighted

I prefer the term 'gimped'
Just plain old gimped? Not pseudogimped, randogimped, compengimped or predetermingimped? Or even jarjammingimped?
Those buzzwords had a surprisingly short shelf life.
