Bonanza Megapays is a unique addition to Big Time Gaming’s portfolio of innovative games. The slot shows similarities to Bonanza Megaways but this time low values are replaced by Megapays symbols, and these then lock in place during a respin.

It’s near on identical, set on a hillside with wooden huts and a water wheel. The symbols are also the same with low-value royals and high-value coloured gems. A track with mining trucks each holding a gem is situated above the reels. The wild is sticks of dynamite and only lands in the carts above the reels.

This continues until no more winning combinations occur.The Megapays feature triggers randomly on any spin, you are then transported to a Las Vegas land-based casino. A single symbol is chosen to be the Megapays symbol, and a spin commences. Each instance of the Megapays symbol locks in position and a respin follows.

The Reactions feature is also active during the free spin so there’s even more potential for more spins. Gold bars located in the mining carts also award free spins, these are unlimited.
Verdict
Big Time Gaming’s Bonanza Megaways has proved extremely popular so I can see why they have used the same theme as the original but with the addition of the four jackpots. Overall a good effort from BTG and hopefully another huge hit like the original.
