Bonanza Megapays

Bonansa Megapays – The Same Relaxing Creek

At first glance, Bonanza Megapays does not look like it has changed much from the original. The graphics are slightly improved to make them more high-definition, the grass is greener, the rocks more detailed, and the yellow and blue flowers more vibrant. A big MEGAPAYS notice sits atop the waterfall to the right of the 6-reel playtable, so players know the version they are playing. Also, four jackpots are tracked at the top of the screen, with their advertised prizes changing in real-time. The grid remains untouched in Bonanza Megapays, which means the same six dynamic reels are used with four extra positions placed above the second through fifth reels. The epic banjo twang playing in the original remains intact and goes into full swing when the reels are in motion.

Pokie Playability

Bonanza Megapays online pokies offers a broader bet range than the Megaways version, starting at $0.10 and going up to $30 per spin. A portion of each stake goes towards feeding the pooled prizes. The buttons beneath the rocky grid conduct the gameplay procedure, and they each function as follows:

• STAKE – features toggle keys to adjust bet values between $0.10 and $30
• Play button – spins the grid one round at a time
• Curved arrows – activates up to 100 autoplay spins. It also sets loss and single win limits
• Three-line button – opens the information page

While Bonanza Megaways awards winnings randomly, bet choice is important; the higher the selected wager, the better the chances at activating the jackpot feature. Regardless, the jackpot prizes remain the same and can be won despite the stake size.

Symbol Winnings

Bonanza Megapays features the same paytable and symbol payout mechanic as the original. The royals 9 to A offer the low pays while the gems pay the highest. On each round, the number of icons that appear on the playtable changes since each reel can display two to seven characters. This creates up to 117,649 ways to win. Combination wins pay when three to six icons align from the leftmost reel. The diamond is the only icon that pays for as little as two of a kind, and the combo is worth 2x the bet.

The Bonanza Megapays paytable is static, meaning it does not change despite the placed stake. Instead, the symbol values are multiplied by the current bet once triggered. Below is a breakdown of how each combination pays:

Icon	Wins for Three	For Four	For Five	For Six
9	0.15	0.25	0.5	1
10	0.15	0.25	0.5	1
J	0.2	0.3	0.6	1.2
Q	0.2	0.3	0.6	1.2
K	0.25	0.4	0.7	1.75
A	0.25	0.4	0.7	1.75
Green gem	0.3	0.5	1	2
Blue gem	0.4	1	1.5	2.5
Red gem	1	2	2.5	7.5
Diamond	5	10	25	50

Slot Bonuses

Bonanza Megapays Slot has some sizzling additions that drive up the winning potential of each round beyond combination payouts, and they include;

• Reaction feature

Like its predecessor, Bonanza Megapays eliminates any characters included in a winning combination, allowing others to cover the spaces left behind and new ones to enter the screen. This creates the potential for more paying combos. The cascades continue until no more winning clusters are formed.

• Wild

The dynamite symbol reprises its role as the wild, and it can only appear in the carts above the grid. This means that it is only valuable as part of another character’s combination.

• Scatters

The scatter characters appear as the letters G, O, L, D and trigger 12 free spins when they all come into view. The freebies have a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1 and grows by +1 infinitely with every reaction. The game awards 5 or 10 more bonus spins when three or four scatters appear in the carts.

• Megapays

The new bit in this Bonanza pokie is the Megapays feature with four progressive jackpots. The bonus triggers randomly on any spin and redirects the slot action from the mining field to a luxurious hotel. One character is chosen randomly, and each time it appears on a 6×7 playtable, it is collected at the bottom, and another round plays. The spins stop if no more Megapays icons appear. The jackpots are awarded as follows if 4 or more of these icons are collected:

Number of Icons	Awarded Jackpot	Jackpot Seed Value
4 – 7	Mini	$100
8 – 11	Midi	$1,500
12 – 14	Major	$20,000
15+	Mega	$300,000

Payout Metrics

Bonanza Megapays Slot features an RTP rate that changes according to the bet placed. The bigger the wager, the higher the percentage, moving from 96% to 96.40%. This change makes room for the jackpot payouts. The accompanying variance is high, as is expected of a pokie with massive wins.

Closing Thoughts

The core of Bonanza Megapays Slot is similar to the original pokie, and the addition of the Megapays jackpot engine makes it easily one of the greatest titles ever. Only a few pokies can brag about the possibility of triggering wins as high as 3,000,000x the stake. The bonus landmarks, like Megaways and free spins with an infinite multiplier, make it relevant beyond the jackpot winnings.
