Christmas Bonanza Slot

A slot from Big Time Gaming based on a mining theme with Christmas theme mixed into it. It is a megaways slot with 117,649 ways to way. Thus 6 reels. Minimum bet is just 0.20 per spin just like on the original Bonanza.

As with most of these megaways games there is a feature and that requires to get 4 scatters or more and you are still looking for the letters G, O, L, D and any additional scatters are +5 each indicating that you will get 5 spins per extra scatters on top of the 12 spins for the GOLD. Just like in the original Bonanza you will get an increasing multiplier starting at 1x and increasing by 1x for each win during the free spins feature. You can also get more free spins during the feature by getting 3 or more scatter carts up top and if you get 3 scatter carts then you get another 5 spins and if you get 4 of them then you get 10 extra spins.

Since this is the Christmas theme there is a change with the symbols and the gems are replaced with presents. This is another nice touch so you not only get the snow and change to music but the symbols get their changes too. The other symbols 9 to Ace stay the same and everything pays the same as in the original, the purple present paying 50x just like the diamond in the original. The 50x is if you get 6 of a kind which isn’t easy to do any you can go plenty of sessions without getting that feat.

The sound and music is similar to original Bonanza but it has a Christmas touch to it if you listen closely and that is a nice little change from the original because as you know this Bonanza is about the Christmas theme.

I found that during my real money play on this slot that it can be very good for bonus wagering when you find it in a good mood and you can get thousands of spins done on it for example on min bet of 0.20 and you will get through the bonus wagering withough much trouble just find it in the mood for that. All in all I have done over 2500 spins on it and had just 4 features with the best one being just under 203x.

As for the RTP that is with this slot, it runs on on the 96.00% and that is the setting I played it at and would recommend that RTP. It is 96% at almost all casinos but it could be possible with recent changes with BTG that there are lower settings available as well so check the RTP before you start playing so you don’t get any surprises. You will want to be playing on the 96% RTP for certain.

What can I say about megaways games and in this case Christmas Bonanza is that they have a trait that means they take often at times too many spins to award a feature. This is also the case with Christmas Bonanza just as it is with the original Bonanza. I have found this slot game giving a feature once every 666 spins. That is insane if you ask me but it is what it is and while it can pay in the base game when it wants to we all want to experience the bonus games and for that you have to wait unless you can buy the bonus which is available to buy in some casinos. Just don’t do it during bonus wagering since that would be breaking the terms and conditions.
