Bonanza at a Glance
NetBet Casino Bonanza is a Big Time Gaming slot with six reels, up to 117,649 ways to win and a 26,000x maximum win. The studio shows its RTP as 96.00% on one page and 96.11% on another, and bets run from €0.20 to €20 per spin.
- RTP96.00-96.11%
- Ways117,649
- Max win26,000x
- Bet€0.20-€20
All four figures come from the studio's own pages, not from NetBet. The range for RTP is there because Big Time Gaming's two pages for the game do not agree, and the stake limits at NetBet may be narrower than the studio's.
Bonus Features in Bonanza
NetBet Casino Bonanza is built around a mine cart theme and three ideas that work together: wins that trigger more wins, a free spins round that keeps raising its multiplier, and an optional bonus buy. Each is described below as the studio's newer page lays it out.
Dual Reactions
Winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in from the top and from the right. Carts above reels 2 to 5 can add extra symbols, so a single spin can chain several wins.
Free spins
Land four scatters that spell GOLD to get 12 free spins. Each additional scatter adds 5 spins. Stacked scatter carts help too: 3 stacked add 5 spins and 4 stacked add 10.
Rising multiplier
Every win during free spins triggers a reaction, and the win multiplier goes up by 1 each time. The studio states no limit on how high it climbs.
Bonus buy
The studio page lists a Bonus Buy of 12 free spins for 90x your stake. Whether NetBet offers it on its Bonanza tiles is not published.
Bonus money
NetBet's welcome free spins run on Gates of Olympus or Big Bass Bonanza, not on this slot. Whether bonus money counts here is set by the bonus terms, so read them in the casino.
Stake cap
While a NetBet bonus is active the maximum stake is €5 a spin, well under Bonanza's €20 top bet. Welcome free spins carry their own stake of €0.10 a spin.
That makes the Bonanza free spins the heart of the game. Reactions in the base game feed the same chain idea, but the multiplier only climbs once the GOLD round starts.
Where to Play Bonanza at NetBet
The NetBet Casino lobby shows Bonanza as two tiles, both from Big Time Gaming: "Bonanza Megaways", which comes first on the studio's provider page, and plain "Bonanza". NetBet does not say whether they are two builds of one game or two separate games, so open both and read the info screen before you choose.
The Big Time Gaming provider page in the lobby holds 48 titles in total, Bonanza among them. A few of the other studio games you will find there:

How Megaways Works in This Game
Instead of fixed paylines, Bonanza counts ways: a symbol pays when it lines up on neighbouring reels, whatever the row.
Six reels, changing rows
The grid is six reels wide and up to seven rows high. The number of rows on each reel changes on every spin.
Ways follow the rows
Multiply the rows on all six reels and you get the ways for that spin. Seven rows on every reel gives the maximum of 117,649.
Wins trigger reactions
Winning symbols disappear and fresh ones arrive from the top and the right, so a spin can pay more than once.
Scatters open the bonus
Four GOLD scatters start the free spins, where every win adds 1 to the multiplier.
Because the ways change each spin, the ceiling of 117,649 is a maximum shown on the studio page, not what you will see most of the time.
Bonanza RTP and Volatility
The Bonanza RTP is where Big Time Gaming's two pages for the game give different numbers, and this guide does not pick between them. The older page says 96.00%, the newer beta page says 96.11%. Neither is NetBet's confirmed figure.
| Source | RTP |
|---|---|
| Older studio page | 96.00% |
| Newer beta page | 96.11% |
The newer page also lists a hit frequency of 37.94% and a volatility value of 7.4. That number sits on the studio's own scale, which is not explained, and no word such as high or low is attached to it, so treat it as a figure to compare only against other Big Time Gaming games. Operator builds may differ, so read the info screen in the game for the RTP your version runs.
Bankroll simulator
- Total staked€500.00
- Expected return€480.00
- Expected cost€20.00
- Spins the bankroll lasts on average2,499
Long-run averages from the RTP: expected cost = stake × spins × (100% - RTP). A real session can land far above or below this, because one bonus round can decide it.
The maths is simple: 500 spins at €1 is €500 staked, and at 96.00% the expected cost is €20. At 96.11% it is €19.45. The 94.00% option is only an example of a weaker version, not a Bonanza figure. Real sessions swing far above or below the average.
Bonanza Demo
The Bonanza demo is free: Big Time Gaming runs it on its own site, with "Play For Fun" and "Demo" buttons on both game pages. NetBet also says demo play is available on most of its slots, though a demo on its Bonanza tiles is not confirmed here.

- Learn what four GOLD scatters feel like, and how the multiplier climbs in the free spins.
- Test the bet size you would use before any real money goes in.
What a demo cannot tell you
Play-money credits show the mechanics, not your luck. A short Bonanza demo session will not match the RTP on either studio page, and it will not show whether the bonus buy exists on the real-money version at NetBet.
Bonanza Maximum Win
NetBet Casino Bonanza can pay up to 26,000x the bet, according to the studio. The prize scales with the stake, so the same multiplier means very different money.
The sums are plain multiplication: 26,000 times the stake. Reaching the cap is very rare, and whether NetBet applies its own limit on top is not published. Keep in mind that the maximum stake with an active NetBet bonus is €5 a spin.
Bonanza Next to Other Slot Types
A Megaways slot plays differently from a classic lines slot, a crash game or a hold-and-win title. The table sets the mechanics side by side.
| Type | Layout | Win route |
|---|---|---|
| Bonanza | 6 reels, ways | Cascades |
| Classic lines | 5x3, 10 lines | Free spins |
| Crash | One multiplier | Cash out |
| Hold and Win | Locked symbols | Respins |
Bonanza's 26,000x ceiling sits against 2,100x on the Big Bass Bonanza classic 5x3 slot, which has 10 lines and a fish-money free spins round. In a crash game there are no reels: you pick when to cash out. Hold-and-win slots, such as the Big Bass Hold & Spinner titles in the lobby, lock special symbols in place while respins run. Their RTP and max win vary by title, so check each one.
Bonanza Slot Questions From Irish Players
Big Time Gaming shows 96.00% on its older Bonanza page and 96.11% on its newer beta page. Both are studio figures, and NetBet has not published the RTP of its own build. Open the info screen inside the game to see which number your version uses before you stake real money.
Yes, the studio site offers a free demo of Bonanza with play-money credits, and both studio pages carry a demo button. NetBet says demo play is available on most of its slots, so look for a demo option on the Bonanza tile in the lobby. Whether it is offered on that tile is not confirmed here.
The number of rows on each reel changes from spin to spin, so the number of ways to win changes too. Bonanza has six reels and a ceiling of 117,649 ways, which is seven rows on every reel. Most spins show fewer ways than that, so the top figure is a maximum, not an average.
Yes. Four scatters spelling GOLD trigger 12 free spins, and each extra scatter adds 5 more. Every win in the round raises the multiplier by 1 with no limit. This is separate from NetBet's welcome free spins, which run on Gates of Olympus or Big Bass Bonanza, not on Bonanza.
The studio page lists a Bonus Buy: 12 free spins for 90x your stake. Whether NetBet switches this feature on for its Bonanza tiles is not published, and some operators remove it. Check the game screen for a buy button, and remember a 90x purchase at €1 costs €90 in one click.
The studio states a top payout of 26,000x the bet. That is €5,200 at a €0.20 stake, €26,000 at €1 and €520,000 at the €20 maximum bet. It is a ceiling reached very rarely, not a typical result, and NetBet has not published its own cap for the game.
Yes. The studio lists Bonanza for mobile and desktop, and the whole NetBet Casino opens in Safari or Chrome on a phone. An Irish App Store casino app could not be confirmed, so plan on playing through the browser.
