Bonanza Falls (Big Time Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Features in Bonanza Falls

Bonanza Falls sticks to classic Megaways with carts above the main reels. Each reel holds up to seven symbols, reaching 117,649 ways, and reactions clear wins for fresh drops. The set-up mirrors the original, right down to GOLD scatters and the mountain backdrop. It runs high volatility with an RTP set at 96.51% (some versions sit at 94%). Stakes range from 0.20 to 10, the grid is six reels, and the top payout jumps to a massive 93,540x.

What makes it click for me is how the familiar rhythm gets extra gears. Feature Buy is on the table at 100x, so chasing scatters is no longer the only route. Reactions keep chains flowing, carts feed extra symbols, and the base game can build tidy hits while you hunt the bonus. If you enjoyed that first outing, the transition here feels natural, but the ceiling is much higher and the tempo in features ramps up sharply.

Free Spins in Bonanza Falls

Landing the G, O, L, D letters triggers 12 free spins, with +4 per extra scatter in the trigger. The round starts at pace thanks to reactions and the rising multiplier pressure that follows. I like that you can either wait it out or pay 100x to leap straight in, which suits different bankroll moods. Once you’re in, the game shifts up a notch and the screen can snowball quickly when several cascades link together.

Megadozer in Bonanza Falls

Megadozer in Bonanza Falls swaps the carts for a Coin Dozer during free spins. From time to time it drops coins that do very specific jobs: +1 to the win multiplier, wilds carrying multipliers up to x5, bundles of +4 spins, and random symbols that count as multiple instances. It reads simple, but in practice those drops shape the round, nudging the multiplier higher while adding wild coverage and extra time on the clock.

The Coin Dozer edits the rhythm because every drop can rescue a flat sequence or turn a small win into a run. I’ve seen middling starts recover when a +4 spins coin lands, then an x5 wild meets a decent reel build. Stack that with reactions and the bonus can escalate fast. It’s the extra layer the series needed, and it gives you more windows to hit those long chains that make the maths model sing.

Win Exchange in Bonanza Falls

Win Exchange in Bonanza Falls lets you gamble base game wins for a shot at the Megadozer bonus. Wins between x25 and x100 qualify for a Gamble Wheel filled with green and red segments, and a win of x100 or more sends you straight to the feature. I use it when the balance can absorb the variance, as it behaves like a cheaper route than the 100x buy if you’re close. It’s punchy, risky, and very on-brand for this developer.

Verdict on Bonanza Falls

I rate this as a proper follow-up. Same bones, far bigger ceiling, and more ways to reach the action. The 93,540x cap is the headline, but the real draw is the trio of routes into free spins, natural, 100x buy, or Win Exchange. High volatility means dry spells, so I keep stakes modest and let reactions work. When Coin Dozer behaves, the round crackles and the multiplier bites. Fans of the original will feel at home.

For me the sweet spot is using Win Exchange when a medium hit rolls in, saving the 100x buy for sessions where scatters refuse to show. The base can still throw tidy strings thanks to carts and reactions, but the real pace sits in the bonus. If you want the old feel with modern payout potential, this lands it while keeping the trademark tension that made the series a fixture.

Bonanza Falls Symbols and Paytable

Premiums top out at x8 for six-of-a-kind, followed by tiers paying x5 and x3.75 for six. Mid symbols drop to x1.5 and x1 for six, with lows at x1 and x0.8. Three-of-a-kind awards start from x0.15 to x0.4 depending on rank. It’s a Megaways spread, so hit rates lean on ways coverage and reactions rather than big line hits alone. In my sessions the higher pays show their teeth when the multiplier is already ticking.

GOLD scatters are the bonus trigger letters; collect G, O, L, D to enter the round. Wilds appear on the top reel and through Megadozer drops during free spins, with those special wilds carrying multipliers up to x5. Wilds substitute for standard symbols and can sit nicely in the middle of a cascade, often pushing a single spin into a longer chain when the top row feeds new tiles.

Because each reel can show between two and seven symbols, the paytable values interact heavily with reel height and cart feed. That’s why six-of-a-kind numbers tell only half the story, the screen state and multiplier matter more. When random symbols coins land from the Dozer, they count as multiple instances, which can mimic stacked hits and spike the ways. That’s the spark you chase on a big multiplier board.
