Bonanza Megaways keeps surprising me after all these years
I keep hearing people say Bonanza Megaways is wild, and after playing it a fair bit myself, I can see why. It’s definitely a surprising one for a game from 2016, especially with that 96% RTP.
When the feature finally lands, it feels like the volatility jumps to a solid 5 or 6. Do you guys think that wild feeling, like the 117649 ways to win, happens constantly throughout the session, or is that high level of craziness mostly just reserved for when the Free Spins trigger and the Unlimited Win Multiplier starts climbing? I'm still learning how to manage these types of big bonus sessions, so any insight on how to best use the free spins would be helpful 🙏🤔
New here, soaking it up.
SamManly, good to see a young fella taking to it properly. Bonanza's been doing my head in since 2016 and I still go back, that unlimited multiplier through the cascades in the free games is where the whole thing lives. Full 5 out of 6 volatility, no question, I've busted more banks chasing that feature than I care to admit. Ah well, we grind on 😄
Good question Darwin, and easy to fix. Every cascade (that's the Reactions bit where winning symbols blow up and new ones drop in) during the free games bumps the multiplier up one, and it never resets till the feature's done. So if you're chaining wins together, the money you win later in the chain gets multiplied by that climbing number.
Best run I ever had, I started with a dud little win, then strung together maybe eight or nine cascades and by the end the multiplier was doing the heavy lifting. Turned about A$60 of feature into something silly. That's why the volatility feels like a 5 out of 6, you can grind for ages getting nothing, then the multiplier stacks and suddenly you're laughing. Timing's everything with the old gold mining theme too, one more cascade at the wrong moment and it's gone 😉
I remember the old slots first-hand.
That FreoDad explanation finally clicked for me, cheers. I'd been banging away at Bonanza on my phone with no clue why the wins suddenly snowballed, now I get it's each cascade ticking the multiplier up and it never drops back till the free games finish. Honestly feels a bit sneaky how long they can hide that from a total noob 😅
Still unsure about the volatility question though. When the feature lands it does feel like a 5 out of 6, but I've had dry free games where the multiplier barely got going and I walked away thinking why did I even bother. Maybe that's just the 96% RTP doing its thing over time? keen to hear if the old hands rate it as a proper 5 or something below that once you average out the dud features 🤔

Sounds like a lifesaver once you finally figure out the mechanics of Bonanza Megaways. Knowing the rules sure would have helped me sooner because instead of banking some decent winnings, I ended up depositing the last of it lol. Good luck to anyone else still on the grind, I'm currently in need of a miracle. 🤣😂
One more spin, promise.
