Bonanza Details 

Presented over a 5-reel setup, this is where the similarity with other slots ends. There are an incredible 117649 paylines on this slot, according to Big Time Gaming. Of course, the way in which they get to this figure involves a copious amount of maths and marketing license, but with the addition of the  ‘megaways’ feature you can see that it’s technically true. Each of the five reels can have anything between two and seven icons so the number of ways players can win changes on every spin. When winning combinations are formed, it is because when the same symbol lands on adjoining reels.

Playing Bonanza

Before players go deep underground and mine for treasure, players should adjust their game settings.

• To amend your coin size and thus bet stake, players can raise or lower their range, thus impacting their total bet staked.

• Play will begin when the reels start spinning once players have made their bets.

• Players can use autoplay to keep the reels spinning automatically for a determinate number of times they wish it for, should they tire of manually spinning the reels.

The mechanics
You can’t go digging anywhere, you’re going to need to know how to go about it if you want to go home with a nice bit of shiny grit. Setting your bets is simple and takes just a few easy steps. The ‘stake’ button is how you adjust the value of your coins, and is another way of setting your total bet - even if it’s called something else. Hitting ‘play’ gets the reels spinning after you have set the maximum spend. Use ‘autoplay’ to spin for your set number of times - especially useful if you have a bad finger/get easily bored of slots, etc.

The juicy bits
Although there is a fair bit going on, it's more on the complicated side than full of action really. It is entertaining however, and we ended up playing it for over three hours straight!

A host of mining symbols provide the higher value positions, with the standard playing card symbols for the lower value positions. Dynamite, that everso useful mining tool, represents the wild, typically substituting for all other symbols, bar the scatter.

The ‘mine carts’ add a symbol to reels 2,3,4 and 5, to be set above its specific reel, winning symbols replacing those already involved in wins are fed from here and ultimately the carts to the right.

What would a game be without free spins

You have four scatters in this game, and they tackily spell out the word GOLD. Get any of these letters across the reels and you’ll be awarded 12 free spins Every scatter landed during  the free spins feature gives you five extra spins.

Whilst this feature runs you can also win an unlimited multiplier, increasing after every reaction created. The free spins scatter only appears in the carts, three of which add a further five spins, four giving you ten spins.
