I have posted quite a few times, showing 86% after doing enough spins to be relevant. I have had over 5,000 bonuses and I really wish that I had recorded the stats. I do have the vast majority screenshotted but it would take a lifetime to trawl back through.
Of the hardcore Bonanza players on the forum that stood the test of time, I would say
@pinnit2014, Fruitpro, Kenny, a couple I don’t remember and myself (Dunover but we don’t know what version he plays), have done the most spins. Why is it, that we all played for 5 or 6 years (admittedly a whinge here and there) but never felt the need to close accounts or abstain from the game and then if by magic, we all thought, what’s going on here? And felt that playing that hard was no longer sustainable. Did we all just imagine it at the same time?
I’ve been around slots a long long time. I have seen things happen that seem unexplainable. Most people are not observant enough to even notice what goes on but I always make connections and look to see what’s going on if something doesn’t look right.
A little bit of a tangent but does everyone remember the FOBTS? Corals and Hills used to run promotions. Things like, £50 virtual money loaded onto the machine and each player had to play the chosen game. The player with the highest amount in 2 minutes (or whatever the designated time was), won £50 in real money that had to be played through the game at least once.
I used to watch players and observe what happened as the totals were ridiculously high in virtual play but shocking when the prize money was being played. It didn’t take long to work out that when the virtual money was loaded by the manager, a key was turned in the side of the machine, which obviously changed the rtp to about 500% or something ridiculous.
When the real money was being played, it was the normal, shitty, 70% or whatever those heaps of shit were set to pay. I won at least 50% of the contests by realising what was happening. When it came to my go, I couldn’t guarantee hitting a big enough win to steal the comp outright so I played on max stake and kept gambling every win until I either lost or hit a total that was likely to win it.
I remember going into Hills about 5pm one Friday and asked what the leading score was. The manager laughed and said £485, you’re not winning this one. I have to admit, I thought he was probably right. He loaded me up the Rainbow Riches with the virtual £50 and after about £25, a win of £125 dropped in. Straight on the gamble, doubled it twice and left the time run down with £525 on the clock. Say no more.
Like I say, I won good knows how many of the them, with totals you could only dream of………BUT, and here’s the thing. Out of all the times I won, I only once won more than £20 off of the real £50. That was on some fruit repeater, where I played £1 spins. I kid you not, the first 49 spins were completely dead. On the last spin, I hit a £30 win and it repeated 3 times and that was the 1 and only time I made more than the £50 I started with.
With regards to FOBTS, I watched them an awful lot. Hours and hours I will never get back and I can say with 100% confidence, they were not random. Online gambling is an exact replica of the FOBT. Same companies, same shenanigans.
I know a lot more about what went on than a lot may be aware of. I am not going to post on here, as it would be obvious to some undesirables who I am but I promise you it was all far from legit. I have even named a Company in a couple of PM’s to members that I trust, naming and shaming prior to a couple of incidents that occurred. I don’t feel that I have to prove anything. I’ve been there and got the T-shirt. People can either trust what I say or laugh and completely ignore me. I don’t care, I am too thick skinned to be bothered by all that crap.
, plenty of lifted novomatic sounds, and the pie gamble steps from £50 to £400 jackpot with nothing in between.
It's been proven to record junk stats.
