bonanza megaways slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

If you ask most slot players where the Megaways series of slots first began, then most will reel off the name Bonanza without thinking twice. Now, whilst BTG's gold mining-themed slot perhaps did put the Megaways engine on the map, it was actually Dragon Born Megaways that was the first slot to feature this exciting new mechanic. I always believe that title was a tester game and that they didn't quite get the finer details right on it, but once they added the unlimited win multiplier to Bonanza, they struck gold themselves, perhaps in a way they could have never possibly imagined. So slot fans, let's find out more and make our way to that all-important pays section. 

Starting things off at the top of the paytable, we have the highest paying symbol, the diamond, which is worth 50x bet for a six of a kind win. This is followed by the red gem valued at 7.5x for a completed line of six, and finally, the last of the premium symbols, the blue gem and green gem, both paying 2x for a completed payline. Next, the low pays come in the form of six royal symbols, which are the Ace and King, both worth 1.75x for a full payline; the Queen and Jack, both valued at 1x bet; the 10 paying 0.9x; and last but not least, the Nine which pays 0.8x for a six of a kind hit. There's also a wild in the game represented by the dynamite symbol. This can only appear on the upper reel and will substitute for all regular in-game symbols. 

We've got a fairly respectable betting range in play, with stakes starting at €0.20 a spin and reaching up to a maximum of €20. There should be plenty of options between these two amounts to match the bankrolls of all players who wish to try the game out for real money.

base game & modifiers

The gameplay on Bonanza Megaways is set across a reel configuration of 6x6, with an upper escalating reel in play that adds extra symbols above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Through this setup, the slot can generate between 324 - 117,649 ways to win on any spin. Creating a winning combo across that format will require you to land at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, with the win needing to begin from the leftmost reel first. However, in the case of the diamond symbol, only two will need to match for a win to be credited to your balance.

Triggering the free spin feature on Bonanza is achieved by the letters of the word GOLD landing anywhere in view on the reels. These letters can also drop down from cascades and sometimes give you a surprise feature when you're least expecting it. Spelling out the word GOLD will award you 12 free spins with each additional scatter that lands after that, adding an extra 5 spins to your starting total.
