How Bonanza Megaways plays
Bonanza is the game that launched the Megaways mechanic. Big Time Gaming released it in 2016, and almost every Megaways slot since has followed its template: six reels showing a random number of symbols each spin, plus a horizontal reel above the middle reels, for up to 117,649 ways to win.
Wins cascade: winning symbols explode, and new ones fall in. In the base game, that keeps a spin going for as long as new wins form.
Free spins start when four scatters spell G-O-L-D. In the round, the win multiplier goes up by one with every cascade and is never reset, so a long round with many cascades keeps raising the value of every new win. Extra scatters add more spins. That combination is where the big rounds come from; Big Time Gaming does not publish a max win.
Volatility in practice
High. Most spins return little, and the game’s value sits in free spins with a long run of cascades. Many rounds end with a modest multiplier; a few run long enough to matter. Size your stake for long gaps.
RTP settings
Big Time Gaming’s game page gives 96.00%. At €1 spins over 1,000 spins, that is an expected cost of about €40.
