As for the gameplay, Big Time Gaming lets Bonanza do what Bonanza does best - provide a top-class combination of Megaways, Reaction Wins, and a Free Spins Bonus.

Bonanza Falls Slot Bonus Features

bonanza falls free spins unlocked — Free spins unlocked

Free Spins Bonus

Golden G-O-L-D Letters act as the Scatters of the game. Land four on a single spin, and you will win 12 free spins to take into the bonus game. Any additional letters which appear award an extra four spins each.

Free spins take place on the same six-reel Megaways layout, but the horizontal Coin Dozer replaces the horizontal Mining Cart row. The round also features a Progressive Winnings Multiplier, which applies to all wins. The Multiplier begins at 1x but may be boosted by the Coin Dozer and does not reset between spins.

Following any spin or Reaction Win, the Coin Dozer may activate one or more of the following Special Coins:

Wild Coin: Acts as a Wild and contains an 1x-5x multiplier.
Random Symbol: Added to the reels and counts as multiple instances of the selected symbol.
Extra Free Spins: Adds four free spins to your tally.
Multiplier Boost: Adds one to the Progressive Multiplier.

Win Exchange and Bonus Buy

With all those falling coins and Multipliers, you may not want to wait for the Scatters before taking a trip into free spins. Happily, the game allows you to speed up the process via Win Exchange and Bonus Buy:

Win Exchange: Whenever you hit a win of 100x or more, you can exchange 100x of your win for 12 free spins. For wins of 25x-99x, you may exchange your entire win for a spin on the Gamble Wheel. Land in Green, and you win 12 free spins. Land in Red, and you lose and return to the base game.
Bonus Buy: Alternatively, you can purchase 12 free spins for 100x the total bet. Bonus Buy is only available in eligible jurisdictions (not available to UK Players).

Our Verdict The Progressive Multiplier Free Spins Bonus was the big selling point of the original Bonanza release, and Big Time Gaming has tweaked rather than rewritten that winning formula. Out go the carts, and in comes the Coin Dozer, with its array of player-friendly boosts. It’s hard to fault the game’s predecessor, but the added variety provided by those dropping coins represents a definite upgrade.

Bonanza Falls Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.51%	Yes	High

The top-end 96.51% Return to Player (RTP) Percentage compares favourably with the industry-average RTP of 96%.

Bonanza Falls sits squarely in the High-Volatility category of slots, meaning you should expect a rollercoaster of a minecart ride, but, on the plus side, games of this rating provide a better chance of a big win in a short session than low-medium volatility releases.

Our Verdict 96.51% represents excellent value for money for a slot, immediately making the game worth a look in our book. However, you should be aware that an alternative, lower setting of 94% is also available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. Mining sounds like a precarious activity at the best of times - what with all those falling rocks, dust and gloom. As such, the high setting feels like a good fit for the theme.

Bonanza Falls Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Besides the two frothing waterfalls, Bonanza Falls looks much like the original Bonanza – all rocks and greenery, with a cute little hut below the grid. That said, the quality of the graphics is more polished in 2023, lending a much greater level of depth to the scene. Turning to the reels, the card values have been seen in other Big Time Gaming releases but are at least vibrant and bright, whilst the glorious gems are drawn from a more realistic palette.

Bonanza Falls (Big Time Gaming) 1 — Wins in the base game

Bonanza Falls (Big Time Gaming) 2 — Bonus round triggered with 'GOLD' letters

Bonanza Falls (Big Time Gaming) 3 — Free spins in action

Bonanza Falls (Big Time Gaming) 4 — Epic win

Audio

Upon loading up the game, the audio team have done their bit to draw you into the setting, with little to be heard but flowing water and the slight rustle of leaves. How soothing. However, as soon as you click that spin button, you prod the fastest banjo player in the world into life, signalling an onslaught of string plucking at remarkable speed - only interrupted by the clinks, whirrs, and explosions of the reel effects.

Our Verdict Fans of the original title will be relieved that not much has changed since 2016 from an audio/visual perspective. After all, it would be a shame to overhaul such an old favourite.

Bonanza Falls Slot on Mobile

Big Time Gaming has ensured that the delights of Bonanza Falls are available to desktop players and mobile slot miners. The game is fully optimised for Android, iOS, and Windows-powered devices.
