Bonanza Blast Free Slot

Bonanza Blast has an adventurous feel to it, with its gold mine theme letting the players experience the mining for gold. This gold rush can be started with the lowest bet of $0.60, a great option for beginners. The bet range of $0.60-$30 is decent for players who don’t have a voracious appetite. With a decent 96% RTP and max multiplier of 1,760x, this slot offers an average blend of bet range and associated incentives. Of course, the most prevalent max win range across AGS slots is a fair 4,400x. And this slot clearly falls short of expectations in those critical avenues. Additionally, the high-volatility factor might be disappointing to some high-rollers risking more funds and investments. On the brighter side, the regular payout range of 15x-400x is decent and the players are awarded 10 free spins with 3 or more scattered gold symbols. Overall, there aren’t golds and riches showering around in this slot. With the restricted max bet, a mediocre max win, and average multipliers, this one wouldn’t wow most veterans. Alternatively, you might consider playing Golden Wins offering 4,400x during the Power Xstream feature, and Longhorn Jackpots with a similar 4,400x max win. And both these come with an RTP of 96.05%.

Bonus features

PowerXStream

All PowerXStream wins pay left-to-right, on adjacent reels, starting with the reel at the very left. The prize is calculated by multiplying it by the number of symbols appearing on each reel within the winning combination. Each PowerXStream combination pays out only the highest prize available. PowerXStream combinations are multiplied by the next multiplier.

Scattered Gold

3 or more scattered golds trigger 10 free spins. However, the scatter does not appear in the free spins bonus. In particular, the scattered gold symbols grant 176x, 880x, and 1,760x upon 3, 4, and 5 appearances respectively.

Jackpot pick bonus

A wild landing anywhere on the reel of the base game can grant the jackpot pick bonus. The player is presented with 12 objects. Upon selection, the objects may reveal jackpot icons. This could continue until 3 matching jackpot icons are picked. Subsequently, the player is awarded the corresponding jackpot and the jackpot pick bonus ends.

RTP and Payouts

With an RTP of 96%, the chances of winning max are moderate, but the high volatility may not guarantee frequent higher wins.

The scatter symbol grants 176x, 880x, and 1,760x upon 3, 4, and 5 appearances respectively. High-paying symbols like prospectors come with the range of 25x-400x upon 2 to 5 appearances. The cart and lamp offer 50x-300x with 3-5 occurrences. Symbols with moderate payout ranges include the pickaxe, with 40x-250x for 3-5 appearances. Low-paying symbols include A, K, Q, J, 9, and 100 with the first two offering 20x-120x range while the others offering 15x-100x range.

Max Win and Top Multiplier

The scattered gold symbol offers a good 1,760x multiplier and the prospector symbol comes with 400x with 5 appearances on the consecutive reels.
