Megaways changes the number of symbol positions
Big Time Gaming lists six reels with up to seven rows and a maximum of 117,649 ways. The number of available ways depends on the symbols visible on each reel for that spin; it is not a fixed payline count.
The carts above reels two through five can add symbols. Together with the tumble feature, the game can resolve new positions after a win. The provider calls this Dual Reactions: symbols drop from the top and move in from the right after the previous set is removed.
Free spins use a multiplier that rises after reactions
The supplier says four scatters spell GOLD and unlock twelve free spins, with additional scatters awarding more spins. In the feature, a reaction increases the win multiplier by one. The provider describes the multiplier as unlimited in the bonus rules; the game still publishes a total maximum payout of 26,000 times the bet.
The same provider page publishes a 96.11% RTP setting and labels the game high volatility in its description. These figures relate to the stated provider version. They should not be treated as the value shown by every casino copy or as a forecast for a session.
The order of one round
First the reels show a variable number of symbols. The game checks for a winning arrangement; if it finds one, those symbols are removed and new symbols cascade from the top and right. Carts may add further symbols as the grid changes. The evaluation continues until no further reaction is available.
A scatter feature can then begin if its trigger is met. This example names the order of operations but does not assume that a particular cascade or bonus will occur.
Do not merge the original with later Bonanza games
Bonanza is distinct from Bonanza Megapays, Bonanza Falls and newer games in the same family. The public facts here apply to the original title listed on Big Time Gaming's page, released on 7 December 2016.
The provider also displays euro stake limits. They have not been converted to pounds because conversion would not prove the settings used by a specific Great Britain copy. The exact game's help screen remains the correct source for a local version.
