History and Evolution
Bonanza Billion is the latest iteration in Big Time Gaming’s popular “Megaways” series of online slots. Building upon the revolutionary variable reel mechanic first introduced in 2016’s Dragon Born slot, Bonanza Billion uses the Megaways engine to deliver an exciting Western-themed game with over 100,000 payline combinations on every spin. After seeing great success with earlier Megaways slots like Bonanza and Extra Chilli, Big Time Gaming decided to revisit the Wild West theme in 2020 and take it to the next level. By incorporating their signature reactive pay mechanic into the series for the first time and adding four progressive jackpots, they created their biggest slot yet – Bonanza Billion.
Gameplay Mechanics
Bonanza Billion is played on a 6×5 reel set with up to 7 symbols per reel for 117,649 ways to win. The number of icons per reel changes with each spin. Payouts are awarded for adjacent symbol combinations from left to right. The dynamite scatter pays up to 500x your bet for 5 of a kind and triggers 10 free spins when 3 or more land. During free spins, the middle reel becomes an expanding wild element for even more payline combos. There are also four progressive jackpots – Mini, Major, Mega and Epic – shown above the reels. A small percentage of each bet contributes to these pools. The jackpots keep rising until one lucky player triggers the bonus round and wins the amount shown.
