Bonanza Megapays — a slot by Big Time Gaming, released in 2021. The game develops the mechanics of the original Bonanza Megaways and adds the Megapays system with four progressive jackpots. The theme remains centred on a gold mine, gemstones and the search for large wins.

The game uses 6 Megaways reels with a variable number of symbols and supports up to 117649 ways to win. The theoretical RTP is 96.40%, volatility is high, and the maximum payout in the base game can reach 12000x the stake before progressive jackpots. The betting range usually starts at 0.20 and can go up to 20, but the exact limits depend on the currency and operator settings.

The cascading mechanic works after every winning combination: the winning symbols disappear and new ones drop into their places. This can create several wins within a single spin and increase the pace of the base game.

Free Spins are triggered through GOLD Scatter symbols. During the free spins, an increasing multiplier is used, rising after each cascading win and remaining active until the end of the bonus round.

• Midi
• Major
• Mega

The jackpot feature is triggered separately after the main game outcome if the relevant trigger activates. This lets the slot combine the classic Bonanza Megaways format with an additional chance at a progressive payout.

Theme and style

The slot uses a gold-mine theme. Gemstones, card symbols, a dynamite Wild and the GOLD letters that trigger the bonus mode appear on the reels. Bonanza Megapays belongs to the following categories: Megaways, adventure slots, video slots.

Visually, the game keeps the familiar mining and gold-hunting atmosphere but places more emphasis on the jackpot component. The interface remains easy to understand for players familiar with the original Bonanza, while the Megapays system adds more anticipation to every spin.

Bonanza Megapays is popular among players from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand. The game appeals to users who enjoy Megaways, high volatility, cascading wins and progressive jackpots.
