Haha don’t even know if I should ever bother playing it again now – I mean, you’re not wrong about Halley’s Comet, this is a once in a lifetime win on that game, you’re never gonna see that twice. It’s the second biggest prize the game can pay, topped only by a full screen of the explorer.

RTP is not personalised or guaranteed to be the outcome of your long term play, though mathematically speaking the more spins you give a slot, the closer your overall personal RTP will edge towards the theoretical RTP. But as the latter is calculated for millions of spins, you would be hard pressed as an individual to play any slot to that kind of run.

And the key word there is theoretical; that’s what the law requires, that the program design and random number generator have a theoretical long term RTP as stated. That little word means in real play, even across thousands of players and millions of spins, the actual RTP doesn’t even have to be close (though in practice it usually will be). Slots are fundamentally random and actual RTP is not theoretical RTP.

About that jackpot screen….. I have some good news on that but ultimately….. it’s bad news lol

Oh Steve, dare I guess…..was it 500x on £40 spins and a losing gamble?

Mixed feelings on it, had a few x300 wins but it’s very frustrating considering the so called potential.

Always makes me laugh when you hear people saying a slot “has potential” (sorry Bandit, I know you do this quite a lot!) – but seriously, all slots have the potential to pay you hundreds or thousands of times your stake, the more pertinent question is how volatile is the game, how likely is it to happen? Napoleon is too volatile my preferred style of play, I don’t want my balance drained in 5 minutes flat for the very faint prospect of winning a couple grand. But people play for different reasons I guess; some people like to put in £100 and play £2 or £4 spins just hoping they get lucky with a few grand hit. And occasionally that will happen, but most of the time if that’s the strategy you go for, you’re going to be done in literally 10 minutes. Whereas if I deposit £100 I want to get a good session out of it with some bonuses and thrills along the way, so I’ll play much lower stakes on low variance games starting at 20p, try to build my balance and if I get a few decent hits, I’ll up my stake in accordance with my balance.

I’ve had the 5 scroll feature once for 500x, but I’ve never come close to hitting the top of that gamble ladder! So strange that The Bandit can sometimes top it multiple times in a single video, yet he’s never had a jackpot screen or 5 scrolls.

I must be very lucky with this game; in my last session alone, I hit 5 bonuses, 2 of which were pretty duff (25-50x range), 2 were around 250x and the last was nearly 450x. I’ve had loads of big wins off Bonanza – don’t get me wrong, I’ve had many, many less than 10x features off it too but I seem to hit reasonably big ones quite frequently and it will usually land for me in a few hundred spins.

Now Diamond Mine – there’s one I can’t bonus at all, despite what must be thousands of spins total by now.

The thing which annoys me about it the most is Immersive Roulette normally stitches me right up. I always bet the same way and have 8 numbers which are my “jackpot numbers”, where I’ll have £3-£5 on them instead of £1. What happens when this glitch stops me getting my winnings and being able to place further bets? Well of course it goes on a streak of my jackpot numbers and I just have to watch with gritted teeth.

You get malfunctions occasionally where it looks like you got a win but no win happened, but I’ve never heard of one where you’re actually awarded the win in your account only for it to be voided days later. That smells like the glitch, if there really even was one, was in the probability of a jackpot win occurring rather than the punter’s hit not being a win. And if that’s what happened, his win should be honoured. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out, but either way it certainly puts me off ever making a flutter at Betfred! Like the guy says, you never hear of losses being refunded due to these supposed glitches.

Also Roshtein is totally fake. You telling me he’s using real money but only plays at a small selection of casinos all run by the same company and never deposits at any of the huge, reputable names like Casumo and LeoVegas?

Dazza G, really? That annoying Youtube guy who screams that the slots are rigged if he doesn’t get a 10,000x bonus 5 spins in to Bonanza? And who thinks he can predict what the slots will pay in a bonus based on the reels, but is consistently wrong?

[ar argyl53 WANTED $419 Outlaw]

You need to set yourself a loss limit on a game before you play – losing 1000x chasing a feature on a game where the average feature pay is 50-100x is just daft, it’s a virtually guaranteed loss.

Captain Venture for example, I will never lose more than 200x in one session on it, because the chances are if I hit a bonus in that wagering, I’m looking at money back if not a profit. But a thousand X? I’ve had over 200 bonuses on this game in the last 2 years and only 2 of them have paid 1000x or more.

All gambling is taking a chance and risking loss, but you’re much more likely to lose if you won’t play smart.

Again, in the vast majority of games, the presentation layer is not random. This is a common point of confusion among players and I can understand why – they take random to mean “where the reels/grid lands is random”, but it’s not. What matters is that the game outcome – the win or loss – is random and thus the game is fair.

I’ve seen the exact same spins on Book of Ra more times than I can count; there’s one for example the king-split tease where two kings are lined up on the middle row and in the third column another one is in the space above and bottom. I can recognise it a mile off and know the third book isn’t landing if I see it. I’ve had the same bonuses for the same amounts play out in the same way on multiple games. It’s really not extraordinary.

There has been a strange spate reported on this forum lately of bonuses crashing and the casinos basically saying “nah, that didn’t happen, you didn’t win anything” – the only time this ever happened to me was with a Bonanza bonus on Rizk. I’ve had it crash before but normally it recovers the unfinished gamr when you reload. Anyway, I reported it to the casino and 2 days later I got an email saying the provider had closed the round and they’d credited me with the winnings. Any other result from any casino and I wouldn’t play there again, zero tolerance!

I’m yet to bonus this one at all, despite giving it a run of 1500 spins before I gave up and went back to Bonanza!

[ar argyl53 WANTED $419 Outlaw]

Bonanza is actually one of my favourite games at the minute. You just need to remember, like any slot, these 1000x or bigger wins are exceptional. If you hit it enough, you’ll eventually have your good day and be on the receiving end of a monster win, but most bonuses are going to be averaging 10-50x.

This is not unique to Bonanza; the majority of slots play that way. What Bonanza does have over other games is the base game is very low risk. Load up 100x and you’ll probably get 500 spins out of it before you bust. That makes it a great game if you’re a low roller looking to get a couple hours entertainment out of £50, plus the potential of one good hit paying a couple hundred even on the lowest stake.
