Bonanza free spins and bonus features
What starts them, and what each one adds.
No pick-me round here: reactions after each win, one free-spins round and the carts above the reels do the work.
Dual Reactions: winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in from the top and from the right. Carts above reels 2 to 5 roll in from right to left and add symbols.
G-O-L-D free spins: four scatters spelling G-O-L-D start 12 free spins, and every extra scatter adds 5 more.
Unlimited multiplier: in free spins each reaction raises the win multiplier by 1, with no cap, so a long chain pays far more at the end than at the start.
Cart scatters: free-spins scatters stacked on the carts add spins. Three stacked add 5, four stacked add 10.
These free spins are earned in the game. They are not the 200 welcome spins, which run only on named slots, so check that promotion's terms before assuming Bonanza is on it. The C$10 deposit guide covers the cashier minimum.
Big Time Gaming lists a Bonus Buy of 12 free spins at 90x the stake. Whether the Ontario version offers it is not published, so look for a buy button in the game.
Bonanza RTP and volatility
Two published figures, and what they mean for your balance.
RTP is the share of all money wagered that a slot returns over a very long run. Big Time Gaming prints 96.00% on its main Bonanza page and 96.11% on its Playin page. The gap is 0.11 points, or 11 cents per C$100 wagered.
| Version | RTP | House edge | Per C$100 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTG game page | 96.00% | 4.00% | C$4.00 |
| BTG Playin page | 96.11% | 3.89% | C$3.89 |
Swipe the table
The house edge is 100% minus RTP: the average share of every C$100 wagered that the game keeps over a very long run. 888 Casino does not print the RTP of its version on the lobby tile; open the game help screen to see it.
The 888 lobby tile shows no RTP, so read the figure on the help or paytable screen of the version you launch.
Volatility and hit frequency
Big Time Gaming leaves the volatility field blank, but its feature text calls Dual Reactions a high-volatility thrill ride, so plan for high. The published hit frequency is 37.94%: roughly 38 spins in 100 pay something, though many of those wins are small. The stake range is shown in the game in C$.

- C$4.00average cost of that turnover
- C$8.00average cost per hour of play
Averages over millions of spins. A single session on a high-volatility slot swings far above or below them: most short sessions end lower, a few end much higher.
Bonanza max win
A ceiling, not a typical result.
- 26,000xmax win, times your bet
- 117,649ways to win
- 37.94%hit frequency
- 12free spins to start
The published maximum is 26,000 times the bet. As a labelled example, a C$1 spin that reached the cap would pay C$26,000, and a C$0.40 spin would pay C$10,400. Reaching it takes a long free-spins chain with a very high multiplier.
Do not size your bankroll on the max win. High volatility means many sessions end below where they started. Set limits first with the self-exclusion and limits guide.
How Bonanza works
Big Time Gaming released Bonanza on 7 December 2016. It adds DUELREACTION, a reel system that cascades in both directions, to the Megaways system.
Six reels each show up to seven symbols: 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 117,649 ways at most. A spin plays out like this.
- 1
Spin: every reel shows a different number of symbols, so the ways change on every spin.
- 2
Win: matching symbols on adjacent reels pay as ways, not as lines.
- 3
Reaction: the winning symbols vanish and new ones fall from above and slide in from the right.
- 4
Repeat: reactions keep going while new wins appear. Scatters spelling G-O-L-D start the free spins.
Bonanza compared with other slot types
Where the Megaways layout sits next to older formats.
| Type | Wins by | Ways | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic 5-reel | Paylines | Fixed | Wilds, spins |
| Megaways | Ways | Varies | Cascades |
| Cluster pays | Touching groups | No lines | Cascades |
| Bonanza | Ways | 117,649 max | Multiplier |
Swipe the table
A Megaways slot changes the symbols per reel on every spin, so its ways move; a classic slot keeps fixed lines and a cluster slot pays touching groups. Bonanza is a Megaways game with an unlimited multiplier on top.

Bonanza at 888 Casino: common questions
What is the RTP of Bonanza at 888 Casino?
Big Time Gaming prints 96.00% on its main Bonanza page and 96.11% on another page of its site. 888 Casino does not show the figure on the lobby tile, so open the game help or paytable screen to see the value of the version you are playing.
Is there a Bonanza demo at 888 Casino?

How do I get free spins in Bonanza?
Land four scatters spelling G-O-L-D to start 12 free spins. Each extra scatter adds 5 spins, and stacked scatters on the carts can add 5 or 10 more. These are in-game spins, separate from the welcome spins on the 888 promotion page.

The published ceiling is 26,000x your bet. It is a maximum, not an average, and it is far above what a normal session pays.

Big Time Gaming leaves the volatility field blank in its stats, but its feature text describes the Dual Reactions mechanic as a high-volatility thrill ride. Expect long quiet stretches and a few bigger swings.
Can I buy the bonus round?
Big Time Gaming lists a Bonus Buy of 12 free spins at 90x the stake. Whether it is switched on in the Ontario version at 888 Casino is not published, so look for the buy button in the game before counting on it.
