Cheers for the writeup on Bonanza πŸ˜… I only started playing online pokies a couple months back and this one confused me too. Had a slap the other arvo and the cascades just kept chaining and I couldn't work out if I was actually winning or the game was just showing off. Turns out that's the Reactions thing, right? The gems falling over and over until nothing new lines up. What I don't get is how swingy this feels compared to the club pokies I'm used to. Someone said it's rated 5 out of 6 volatility. Is that why I went a whole session without a single free games trigger? πŸ€” And if I ever do land the feature, does that Unlimited Win Multiplier just keep climbing with every cascade? Sorry if that's a dumb question, go easy on me, still learning how all this works πŸ™

@FreoBlue the chains look impressive but half the time they're paying scraps πŸ˜… My rule is bet small per spin on Bonanza and judge the session on the cashout, not the animations. Did my bonus clear on it a while back at A$0.40 a spin, watched one cascade chain drag the balance up slowly and walked when the wagering was done, disciplined exit beats chasing the scatter. πŸ”₯πŸ’Έ

@BrekkieNorth1995 A$0.40 a spin on Bonanza is about the smartest thing anyone's said in here all week 😏 Those chains are pure theatre mate, you can chain four times and still be down on the session. Just asking for the profit side though. Cashout after the bonus cleared, or still holding the bag? πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
A paper win won't feed you.

The cascades chaining forever gets me too πŸ˜… silly question maybe but what's the Unlimited Win Multiplier actually do during the free games? Does it just keep climbing with every cascade and never reset? Still learning all this stuff, cheers πŸ™

Darwin, no silly question at all mate, you've got it spot on already. During the free games that multiplier climbs with every cascade and doesn't reset. So if you chain reactions together the wins keep getting multiplied higher and higher. I've had a feature where I started with a dud few spins, then one decent cascade sequence after another just snowballed and the paying got silly. That's the whole hook of Bonanza really, and why everyone bangs on about it since Big Time Gaming put it out back in 2016. Only catch is the free games can be stubborn to land, they rate it 5 out of 6 for volatility, so it's a swingy old thing. Some arvos the cascades tease you all session and the scatter never shows, sounds like you copped one of those πŸ˜„ Don't take it personally, we've all sat through a dead machine like that. Ah well, we grind on.

That multiplier explanation helps me too, cheers Sam πŸ™ Maybe I'm being dumb but no free games all arvo doesn't surprise me β€” it's proper swingy, dead base game happens πŸ˜…

It can go whole sessions dry then hit a chain outta nowhere, that's the gamble with this one πŸ˜… I've had nights where base game was dead silent for ages and then the scatter finally lands and the multiplier goes mental πŸ’° still reckon it pays when it wants to, best provider hands down 🎰

@MaxBetLifeEveryday "pays when it wants to" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there mate 😏 Funny how it always wants to pay in the promo screenshots and never in my session. Every multiplier-goes-mental story in here somehow ends with no cashout receipt attached. Bonanza's been kind to exactly nobody I actually know. Chain looks pretty, balance still bleeds, that's the whole trick of it πŸ˜‚ So did you even withdraw after one of those mental multiplier nights, or is the win living rent free in your memory? πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.

@CascadeQueen screenshot tax is real mate πŸ˜… but Bonanza genuinely can go a whole arvo dry then drop an unlimited multiplier run out of nowhere, seen it at the club more than once. No receipt from me this week either though, my bonus round paid peanuts πŸ’ΈπŸŽ°

@Lee_Brekkie "seen it at the club more than once" but no receipt again this week, classic 😏 Funny how the unlimited multiplier run always happens to someone else's arvo. So where's the profit? Sounds like a guaranteed minus long-run with extra steps to me πŸ€‘πŸ’Έ
Show me the withdrawal first 😏

@Lee_Brekkie nah mate you're spot on, Bonanza does my head in exactly like that. Had a dry stretch at the club Friday that felt criminal then the very next arvo the multipliers went silly πŸ”₯ punter above wants receipts for everything, sometimes you're too busy celebrating to hit screenshot πŸ˜…πŸŽ°

@Freo_True A$340 off one chain run 😱 that's the dream right there. Mine usually pays like a $2 shandy, but I keep coming back to Bonanza anyway, no shame πŸŽ°πŸ’Έ

@PaulSlots13 same here, my Bonanza chains mostly pay enough for a servo pie and that's about it πŸ˜… Still chasing my first proper multiplier run though, A$340 would have me telling everyone at work lol. Does the free spins round actually hit often or is it just me going whole sessions without seeing it once? 🎰

@Freo_True A$340 off one run, nice. Screenshot it anyway, because "nearly fell off the chair" doesn't show on a bank statement. Bonanza's volatility means those wins get funded by the dozens of arvos where it dribbles A$20 back at you. If the good session pays for the bad ones, you're square at best. Believe it when you cash out.

God I know that pain, chased the scatters for a whole Friday arvo at the club once and got nothing but little chains paying peanuts πŸ˜… Even got 4 scatters teed up twice and it fizzled both times. Stick with it tho, Bonanza usually coughs up the bonus eventually, and when that multiplier climbs it's something else πŸ”₯🎰

@Servo_True keep at it mate, the big multiplier run sneaks up when you least expect it. Free spins do hit, saw one drop at the club after ages. Worth the chase πŸ”₯🎰

Word from the floor back in the day was Bonanza heats up right when the room's quietest 😏 no free games all session? happened plenty, then it'd drop the scatter run two mins before close. Keep the session small, the multiplier run finds you. Those who know, know 🀫
