Big Time Gaming made a name for itself thanks to the lucrative, innovative, and hugely popular Megaways™ reel mechanic you now see used on dozens of online video slots, and with Bonanza MEGAPAYS coming to the online casinos, the Big Time Gaming hopes to do the same again!
The official release date has not been confirmed, but judging by the iGaming development company’s recent tweet, the launch of this new progressive title cannot be far away. That tweet asked people to rate their excitement for this game between 1 and 10. Well, anyone that loves Megaways slots but wishes the game had a progressive jackpot implemented too, is going to rate their anticipation at the highest levels!
The Megaways feature enables the possibility of playing spins with up to 117,645 ways to win, while Mini, Midi, Major, and Mega progressive jackpots provide the potential for some big payouts. Throw in free spins and progressive multipliers, and Bonanza MEGAPAYS has the ingredients to become another top Big Time Gaming slot at the online casinos.
Megaways video slots are all the rage, and this is down to Big Time Gaming. Not only did the firm develop this innovative game mechanic in the first place, but they also sell the license to other casino developers to use it within their own video slots. This move has meant we now have over 70 Megaways titles to enjoy! This number keeps growing too, just last week we reported the release of Poseidon Ancient Fortunes Megaways, a title by Microgaming.
Bonanza MEGAPAYS Coming – But How Does it Differ?
Bonanza Megaways™ was the slot that put Big Time Gaming on the map, featuring the now-iconic Megaways random reel modifier mechanic, the game quickly became one of the most popular at online casinos across the globe. Big Time Gaming now hopes Bonanza will deliver similar success for a brand new trademarked feature, the MEGAPAYS™ progressive jackpot! Bonanza Megapays™ is essentially the original, including the Megaways mechanic, just with a progressive jackpot strapped on.
Aside from the new progressive jackpots, there is not too much difference between the original Bonanza slot and this upcoming release. Although a little more polished, the graphics are the same apart from the addition of the MEGAPAYS logo and the four progressive jackpot counters at the top. The game also operates in the same way, as it still uses the 6 dynamic Megaways reels which could have a random number of symbols from 2-7 on each. Get lucky enough to spin in 6 reels with 7 symbols on each, and you are playing with 117,649 ways to win! The symbols and the paytable have been left untouched too.

The difference is the MEGAPAYS™ progressive jackpots. Obviously, it is the Mega jackpot you want to win and this is seeded by Big Time Gaming to the tune of €300,000. That jackpot will grow as players spin the reels and once won, it resets back to €300,000.
Big Time Gaming is known for being an innovative software development company that is always looking to come up with something new and unique. The firm achieved this with Megaways™ and now hopes to do something similar with the MEGAPAYS™ progressive jackpot. We have to admit, we think the idea of a Megaways slot with a progressive jackpot is a great one. Once it hits the online casinos, we’re sure it will prove just as popular as the original!
Bonanza MEGAPAYS™ has a slightly higher RTP than the original at 96.40% and from each bet wagered, a contribution of 0.15%, 0.13%, 0.12%, and 0.11% is added to the Mini, Midi, Major, and Mega progressive jackpots respectively. Combined, those progressive jackpots have an RTP of 9.44%.
