Bonanza Donut Slot Review

Holey cr*p, have I got a treat for you today: it’s called Bonanza Donut slot and it comes from Gamzix. And that’s a much better name than if the studio had gone with the original term for the fried stuff, which was known as oily cakes.

Legend has it that a sailor was responsible for the hole in the middle. And nooooo, it’s not for that reason. Apparently, he skewered the donut with one of the spokes on the ship’s wheel so he could steer and eat at the same time.

There’s been some speculation about the correct spelling of donut/doughnut, but whichever side you land on, it’s time to hold onto your fillings as we get to grips with this candied game.

Gameplay

Bonanza Donut slot is kinda biblical; instead of turning me into a pillar of salt, just one glance at the saccharine goodies on the 6 reels of this game was enough to transform me into Fat Bastard.

I have to say the studio has done a superb job with the graphics. Maybe too good – I think I destroyed my keyboard thanks to the Pavlovian drooling it triggered. Gamezix, I’m sending you the bill!

If you’re a fan of playing slots on your mobile phone, then do yourself a favor and check it out on your portable device. This must be one of the best-looking games that you can take on the go with you. Portrait mode was my favorite way of playing, but you do you.

You’ll notice straight off the bat that Bonanza Donut slot works with a cluster pays system, so you’ll need to land combos of 8 or more similar symbols anywhere on the grid to score a win.

And for those of you not in the know, cluster pays mean that the symbols involved in a win disappear after the payout, and new ones take their place (hopefully, extending your winning streak).

The stats are as sweet as the visuals – the RTP is 96.20%, the volatility rate has been set to medium, but the max win tips the scales at a honeyed €260,000!

The last piece of good news is that you can play using crypto or the fiat currency of your choice.

Features

FREE SPINS:

This is the main feature of Bonanza Donut slot, and you’ll need to land 4 or more sweet Scatters to trigger it.

The pink donut symbol is a multiplier and the only time you’ll see it is during the Free Spins round. If you land a couple of them, their values will be added together and applied to your win at the end of your spin.

Another symbol you’ll only see during Free Spins is the golden ticket. Collect 5 or more of em, and you’ll set off the Bonus game.

FREE SPINS BONUS GAME:

You can play two bonus games, and which one you hook into will depend on the number of tickets you scoop.

For Bonus Game Number 1, you’ll need to collect 5 - 9 tickets, and picking a gift box will award you with a multiplier ranging from 1x to 5x.

Bonus Game 2 requires that you grab 10 or more tickets, and the gift boxes will reveal multipliers that start at 6x and end at 10x.

BUY FEATURE:

You can jump straight into the Free Spins round if you’re willing to part with some moolah (100x as it turns out). You can set the amount you’re willing to bet and pay, and you’ll notice that you’ll still get 10 spins irrespective of your stake.

So, what’s the point of fiddling with the bet amount? That’s a good question. All it does is allow you to play the Free Spins round at a different bet level.

HOT BET:

For 25% of your stake, you’ll increase your chances of landing Scatters, and that means you could crack the Free Spins round more easily.

Performance

A slot this slick-looking must surely run equally well, right? Right! I couldn’t fault the gameplay on Bonanza Donut slot; trust me, I gave it the beans on my phone and laptop and used different browsers to try to throw it off. It was unshakable.

Maximum Win

Medium volatility games don’t usually yield max wins of €260,000, but this one does. And there’s also a magnificent 13,000x max multiplier to take the pressure off your wallet if you’re chasing the big bucks.

Betting starts at a mere €0.20 and tops out at €20.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed this game, and I honestly wasn’t expecting to. The features (as simple and sparse as they are) work well with the theme, and it’s no-brainer fun that you can take on the go with you.

The stats are impressive, so unless you like particular themes or have a hankering for complicated games, there’s no reason not to try Bonanza Donut slot.
