Bonanza Megaways slot review

Theme and Style

This slot is themed around a precious stone mine.

Players will find themselves on a rocky mountainside searching for the glint of gems and gold among the ordinary stones.

The mining site is an idyllic place from days gone by with a cosy cabin and a whimsical waterwheel. Players will enjoy the wholesome mood and the eye-catching treasures to be found.

Visuals and Soundtrack

The soundtrack is filled with banjo twangs and rumbling rocks. This creates the atmosphere of a laidback frontier mining settlement.

It would have been interesting to see a few mining town characters or perhaps some mountain life included in the scene. As it is, players' imaginations can take charge of conjuring the mine’s residents.

The foliage growing on the mountainside is animated in beautiful detail. Tiny flowers and shrubs add a lush summertime vibe to the setting and make the camp feel full of life. The ever-turning water wheel seems to echo the movement of the reels with fresh chilly water tumbling through it.

The gem symbols are the most tantalising with rich hues, depth, and clarity. They seem well worth a day in the mines to snag.

Gameplay and Key Statistics

Bonanza Megaways uses the Megaways system, an any way wins system that awards wins for matching symbols in adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The Megaways system also randomises the number of symbols on each reel.

Four carts above the base game add an extra symbol to reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The slot uses a Cascade feature, which means that when symbols form a winning combination, they vanish and new symbols fall into their place.

This game offers a return to player of 96.0%, roughly average for the industry. This is coupled with high volatility, meaning that this game will award fewer but bigger wins.

The range of bets provided by this game runs from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€20.00 per spin.

Bonus Gameplay and Special Features

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. Wilds will only appear in the bonus row of carts above the main game.

Players landing 4 Gold Scatters will be awarded 12 Free Spins. Each Scatter over 4 awards the player 5 additional Free Spins.

While in the Free Spins feature, players will be awarded a multiplier starting from x1 and increasing by one after each win.

Landing 3 Scatters during any Free Spin awards the player an additional 5 free spins. 4 Scatters award the player 10 additional free spins. During the free spin bonus, Scatters will only appear in the additional row above reels 2 to 5.

Conclusion

We recommend this average RTP, high volatility mining-themed slot.

The charming theme and beautiful animation make this game entertaining, and its strategy-friendly stats make it a wise choice as well.

The bonus features are fun and will feel familiar to regular slot-players.
