Hi Steven,

Hi Everyone,

I emailed a while ago about the megaways slots you know bonanza and diamond mine etc. I wanted to know if you have any advice for these slots? I have spent thousands on £2-£10 stakes and seriously never had a bonus. Should you do 100 spins at 20p to start so then you may get a bonus or what? I now avoid them because they have taken so much. I love your videos and you always seem to bonus the megaways games and I just want to know if their is a tactic to this lol.

 

Cheers love your videos keep it up! Thankyou

 

James

I regularly go hundreds and hundreds of spins on these games without bonuses mate, if you listen in the videos as i play them, i will often say how long it has taken and also often walk away from them having had no bonus – there isn’t really a method for them, they will bonus when they want, just got to get lucky i guess!

I’ll tell you I had over 16000 spins on Bonanza before it bonused for me so…yeah it’s all about luck unfortunately

I assume that’s a typo and you meant 1,600? ?

nope 16342 to be exact and the bonus paid me a whopping 27x hahaha took me a while to try again tho and managed a 870x bonus so I decided to leave it for a while

Okay we’ve got a similar situation here to another thread that I posted in last night, where the maths doesn’t add up. Please if I am calculating something wrong here someone shout out, but see below the odds table for hitting a bonus on Bonanza by x number of spins (on an assumed 1 in 450 spins average bonus time):

We have another member of this forum, @EnglishGuy who has also stated they have span 16,000 spins without a bonus. Anyone an expert here with slots and probability that can advise on where the gap is? Because this table indicates that it’s mathematically near impossible to go that many spins without a bonus.

I’ve had 16,000 spins as well, was a bit more but i gave up counting. Had loads of 1000 spins no bonus.. and quite a few 4000 plus spins no bonus. It can be a nightmare sometimes.

I have had the golden ostrich land on me and i’ve had a back to back bonanza bonus.. and , i have twice, 2 or 3 spins in between bonuses before..

Variable fucker that game.. but i love it.

I don’t know the maths on this but I’d assume it is possible because anything is, here’s my screen grab from videoslots saying the number of spins i’ve had with my RTP

It’s because, your using an average, and statistically, it might bonus every 450.. but it doesn’t mean that you HAVE to get a bonus. Your using math, to decide something that is random. Theoretically, someone could spin 50,000 spins, or more, and not get a bonus. I suspect that we have both been very very unlucky.. I can only promise you, i’m telling the truth.

I’ve played a million spins on Bonanza on one site alone…

[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

@MajesticEnd – regardless of all of this, that is a horrendous RTP for that many spins! Grim.

@EnglishGuy – the formula I have used is (should be) correct. Let’s assume the average bonus is once every 450 spins (I’m sure it’s around this, but we can tweak the table if it’s not, it won’t change too much for the larger figures). Some bonuses will land super early on if the player is lucky enough, and some will take absolutely ages. This table articulates exactly that. If you look, it’s only 67% chance to land a bonus by 500 spins, despite the average being 450. It does not assume that once you reach 450 you should have received a bonus by then.

So not sure where our gap is here. If we were to plot this on a graph, the odds get exponentially closer to a sure thing the more spins that are undertaken. It’s just the laws of averages. Perhaps I’m looking at this in the wrong way, fuck knows…

@biohazard – yeah pal you’re telling me i’m seriously down on the game so that’s why I decided to stay away prob for good from Bonanza

[shouldersofbutter WANTED $13 Outlaw]

You may not be that 450 spin though. It might go to another player. You may never catch it and go without a bonus indefinitely.

Laws of averages bud. You could get ten bonuses in a row on the first spin, or you could go 10,000 spins without a bonus, yes. But the odds of those things happening are unbelievably low.

I might have miss understood here bio mate but although the probability is correct for 16000 spins unless they’re simultaneous then it is very much possible to go that many without the bonus?

[johnf30 WANTED $4 Outlaw]

Hi biohazard,

Whilst the math is correct that a bouns would occur within 16000 spins, you have to factor in they would have to be consecutive.

Although it can’t be seen there is most probably a game counter running continuously which if you could see it, you would see that between games it may jump 100s or even 1000s between your spins due to other players spinning at the same time.
