Bonanza Falls Slot Verdict
We played the Bonanza Falls Slot since its release on the 25th of December 2023 and its been lots of low points with mostly 100x wins and the most we could garner was a 540x win which you can watch on our big win video below.
So is it Bonanza Falls or was it a whole lot of Bonanza Fails?
We break it all down below.
What we liked
1. Well, its finally here and maybe we can get that out of the way and maybe BTG can go and focus on building other great slots and not have to think about endless tweaking to avoid the sophomore slump.
2. The cost to buy the bonus round free spins isn’t too bad at 100x your bet amount.
3. It is possible to get a big win, but from our play time, and judging from the mechanics and the algorithm of the game, what you consider an epic big win on Bonanza Falls is essentially what we could manage which was 500x bet. It’ll be however very rare to hit a 7200xbet like we did on our Royale with Cheese big win video.
4. If it wasn’t for the buy feature, this slot would be dead in the water so I guess we have to say we liked the addition of it.
What we hated
1. The base game doesn’t pay much and you landing the elusive D to spell GOLD to trigger the free spins bonus round seems damn near impossible.
2. Not every win during the free spins bonus round adds an extra multiplier so if your multipliers aren’t stacking up on each win, your wins are not going to be that great unlike in the original Bonanza where each win gave you an additional multiplier.
3. The bonus round mechanics could really be much faster. The action of the coins falling is so slow and can be a drag and annoying, especially if you’re going through a dry spell and the slot just isn’t paying.
4. The lack of wins in the base game seems to be pointing you to rather use the buy now feature to try to make bank during the free spins bonus round.
5. In the original Bonanza Slot, six diamond symbols (The highest paying symbol) pays out 50x, in this Bonanza Falls, it only pays out 6x, that’s a HUGE downgrade.
6. The base game gamble feature when you win 100x your bet to get the free spins bonus is quite brutal for a game where the base game isn’t really paying much and in our opinion is a shitty pointless addition to a slot that doesn’t pay out well.
7. The gamble features in the base game also point to the fact that real wins are only possible in the free spins bonus round because the game pushes you into gambling to get 12 free spins.
Simply put, this is a bonus buy game more than anything else.
Final Verdict and Score: 4/10
The original Bonanza Slot reigns supreme over the sequel and you’re better off playing that.
The additional features don’t do much to enhance the enjoyment and the slow moving coins falling in the free spins bonus round can get annoying especially when you’re getting crappy wins.
This coupled with poor base game wins and the annoying temptation to gamble the little that you do win in the base game for 12 free spins that may amount to little can be quite infuriating.
Overall this slot is more Bonanza Fails than Bonanza Falls.
