What is a bonus hunt?
Introduction
A bonus hunt is when you play online casino slots and get awarded a bonus game, you close the slot and save it for later opening. You usually hunt at least a couple of bonuses before opening them.
The concept became popular after seeing Twitch streamers like ROSHTEIN and ClassyBeef do many of them.
We’ve seen bonus hunts with more than 289 bonuses during opening, performed by ROSHTEIN on the 31st of July 2020. The bonus hunt lasted almost 22 hours and can be viewed here. ROSHTEIN started with a balance of €222k when doing the hunt.

How much should I wager?
We’ve tried a couple of bonus hunts and seen many of them. The result of the bonus hunt mainly is entirely based on luck and what slots you choose. For instance, the BTG bonuses are harder to collect but the win potential is very high.
We calculate bonuses based on the bankroll divided by then bet.
E.g. you have €1000 as a start.
1 / 5000 bet would be you betting €2 per spin.
