Slot Review
Bonanza isn’t the first Megaways title ever, but it was the one that struck the chord with a wide audience propelling the unique engine to global stardom. Over time, it became so popular that almost every studio, big and small, acquired the Megaways license or tried to mimic it.
Bonanza Megaways is probably the reason we have dozens or hundreds of thousands and even millions of win ways as a widely common payout mechanic. Its success has also triggered a massive influx of Bonanza titles. Big Time Gaming itself produced just several more Bonanza titles but used its key engine over and over again.
Features
You are probably well familiar with Megaways as it’s become a very common feature. But in case you aren’t, here’s a quick guide to it: it’s a ways to win type of engine when, unlike in traditional slots, you just need to have similar symbols on adjacent reels. No paylines or clusters are required.
This wasn’t something unique even at the time the engine was launched. It’s another twist that made it so iconic: there can be a random number of symbols on each reel. For instance, between 2 and 7 symbols per reel is a common option. This adds another layer of unpredictability as there’s a different number of win ways in every spin.
There are two Bonanza features that players appreciate. They can be triggered in main or bonus games:
Bonus Game
To enter free spins, players have to wait for the G O L D to land. Each of these letters is a scatter and when they form a word, 12 bonus rounds get triggered. +5 spins are awarded for every extra scatter.
Once you enter free spins, that’s when things get even more exciting with the addition of a win multiplier that increases with every reaction. This multiplier can theoretically grow forever as long as wins keep landing. And players do get some impressive multipliers in this round.
In the bonus game, there’s another scatter that can appear only in carts. And it awards more free spins.
Conclusion
Bonanza is an iconic game that reshaped the slots vertical. It’s incredibly fun and caters to a wide variety of gamblers. The features Big Time Gaming used in Bonanza then became hugely popular and appeared in many other online slots from this and many other studios.
