Reviews

 An Honest Miner

The game itself is modelled after a mining community, it seems. You will find a lovely little miner’s shack on the left side of the screen and a scenic water wheel on the right side. The interface itself is made up of a rocky wall where the 6 reels are visible. This gives the player the feeling like they really are in the quarry working for an honest wage as a miner.

The payout symbols on the reels are quite straightforward, they resemble precious gems embedded in the quarry’s wall of stone, just waiting to be hacked away at. So grab your duds and pick as well and swing away because there is a bonanza of riches to be found on this slot game. The gems range in colour and shape and are detailed to the T in a beautiful 3D render, twinkling and sparkling like real gemstone. A nice little touch BGT has given, we must say. The gems range in value, with the diamond being the highest paying symbol. Below you will find an overview of the gems and their value.

	Diamond	Ruby	Lapis Lazuli	Emerald
6x	50	7.5	2	2
5x	25	2.5	1.5	0.75
4x	10	2	1	0.5
3x	2	1	0.25	0.25

Aside from that you will find the basic reel symbols like A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9. Although they are but minor wins, they really add up when you land multiple of them in a row.

Wheel in the Wins

When examining the top of the reel, there is something rather interesting going on there. Aside from the regular spinning wheel, there is a smaller horizontal reel running over the top of the interface, covering the middle 4 reels. To be more precise, you will find them on reels 2,3,4 and 6. So if you wondered how Big Time Gaming managed to come up 117649 paylines, then this is how they did it. On the top horizontal reels you will find the carts wheeling in the riches for the next spin. The best thing about it is, is that you can see what kind of symbols are in store for you before you start spinning the reels. And when the player managed to land a winning combination, the connected symbols will get blown to bits, disappearing from the reels and allowing new symbols to fall down. This Tetris-style of gameplay allows for the game to uphold a nice and fast pace, where something you can just see the reels exploding with wins and a Big Win is easy to land.

The horizontal cart reel makes it possible to connect even more symbols for higher paying wins, making the Bonanza slot game a medium to low volatile slot game with more wins and higher payouts. In contradiction to that, in order to get more out of the coins you place on your bet, you will have to increase your coin size to at 2 to make any profit, as the symbols payout quite low while the winnings are frequent.

Free Spins, Scatters and Wild Symbols

There is more to Bonanza, as is expected from a software provider like Big Time Gaming. They really know how to capture their audience’s attention when it comes to designing just plain good slots and gameplay. The first feature we will have a closer look at is the scatter symbol. This symbols allows the player to enter the Free Spins Mode, provided that the right combination is made. Meaning that the player is required to spell out “GOLD” with the scatter symbols. As such, the scatter symbols appears on the reels in the letter G, O, L and D. With the Megaways feature in play, you are not required to land them perfectly horizontal and multiple combinations can be made as long as they follow the reel’s pattern from left to right. You will be awarded with a generous sum of 12 Free Spins.

Speaking of Free Spins, the Bonanza slot game makes is possible for the player to win an extra little top-up on their Free Spins. When the player enters the Free Spin mode and they manage to land more of the Scatter Symbols on the reels, they will be gain an extra 5 Free Spins on top of their accumulated amount. It makes it sound like the game allows for endless Free Spins that way. Once all free turns are exhausted, the player is taken back to the base game.

And last but not least we have the Wild symbold. Don’t be afraid to set this baby off despite it being modelled after bundled up sticks of dynamite. Like in all videoslot-styled games, the Wild symbol can substitute any other symbol on the reels except for the scatter.

The final verdict on Bonanza

If you ever wanted to immerse yourself into the life of a miner without the hazards of the occupation then this is the place to be. There is something soothing about that slot that might appeal to players who just wish to spin away on the reels, whether that is on desktop or mobile devices. The Megaways function allows for generous and frequent wins and the whole theme is tied together nicely by the soundscape and design. Yet again, Big Time Gaming has blown us away with another incredibly designed slot game.
