The cascading mechanic starts after a winning combination. Symbols involved in the payout disappear and new ones fall into their places. This can create additional wins within a single spin and makes the base game more dynamic.
Free Spins are triggered by GOLD Scatter symbols. During free spins, an increasing multiplier is active: it rises after each cascading win and does not reset until the bonus round ends. This mechanic is what makes the bonus portion especially important to the game's win potential.
Theme and style
The slot is styled as a gold mine. Gemstones, card symbols, a dynamite Wild and GOLD letters used to trigger Free Spins appear on the reels. Bonanza Megaways belongs to categories such as Megaways, adventure slots and video slots.
