Bonanza Donut

If you are a big fan of confectionary and vivid, colourful games, you will surely enjoy Bonanza Donut, the new online slot created by Gamzix. Travel to this whimsical paradise full of doughnut shops and fairground rides to enjoy a game with a promising win potential, and a cluster pays dynamic. With six reels and five rows, this game carries a bigger-than-average gameboard with an exciting range of features and a varied playing experience. This game is also available on mobile, tablet and desktop platforms.

Bonanza Donut Overview

The features for Bonanza Donut begin with the cluster round bonus. This is similar to what in other games is called the cascade dynamic. It is triggered every time a player scores a win and removes all of the winning symbols and replaces them with fresh ones. This gives players more chances to win from the same spin. The next feature is the free spins round. To trigger it, players must land four or more of the lollipop scatter icons on the board at the same time. During the free spins round, players can also land special multiplier symbols, which, when part of wins, boost the resulting payout. This game also has a bonus buy option. However, this is only available in some territories.

Bonanza Donut Theme and Symbols

Gamzix has gone for the well-trodden round of confectionary to inspire the aesthetics of this game. As such, players will see all manner of sweet treats appear on the board, including ice cream, gummy bears and doughnuts. In contrast to some games with this theme, however, this game takes place in a real-world location – a theme park. Indeed, players look like they are supposed to be enjoying a day out at a carnival, with many rides and concession stands on hand to refuel ravenous punters as they navigate the park. With charming yet simple graphics, Bonanza Donut has an uplifting theme finished with a high level of detail.

The background for this game is the theme park where the players are supposed to find themselves. In the image's background is a pale blue sky with light, fluffy clouds dancing across it. Threading through this calm sky are the rails of roller coaster rides making parabolic curves and tipping precipitously at various points as they reach their zenith. In the foreground are two small shacks – one presumably selling doughnuts and the other, you would hope, coffee. The pastel colours and refined detail make this a pleasant image to gaze at whilst the reels spin. The playing board for this game is a simple pink rectangle with a black interior.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the blue, green, purple and red hard candies in various shapes. The red heart candy is the most valuable, paying out at 6x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons, however, are the orange gummy bear, the ice cream Sunday, the cupcake, the layer cake and finally, the sponge cake with a strawberry on top. The sponge is the most valuable, worth 50x the stake for the top combination. The only special icon in this game is the scatter, which is represented as a spiral rock candy.

Game Play

Bonanza Donut is played on a 6-reel, 5-row cluster pays machine. Cluster pays slots payout wins when aligning clusters of matching symbols are found on the board rather than on pay lines. The bigger the aligning cluster, the bigger the resulting payout. The betting range for Bonanza Donut is 20p to £50 per spin. To adjust their bet levels, players can toggle their stakes up and down using the tool located at the bottom left-hand side of the screen.

Further information, including a short tutorial and a display of the paytable, can be found via the menu button in the right-hand corner of the screen. The spin and auto spin buttons are located in the centre of the screen. The volatility for this slot is rated in the medium range. The return to player percentage for Bonanza Donut is 96.2%, which is above average. The biggest payout that players can win on one spin is 13,000x your stake.

Bonanza Donut Features

The first feature to be aware of in this game is the cluster round, or as some other slots have described it, the cascading reels dynamic. This feature comes into play every time a player finds a winning cluster on the board. When this happens, the winning icons are removed and replaced by a new set that falls into their vacated positions. This dynamic helps players keep scoring wins from the same spin. The dynamic will only stop when the new set of symbols does not form a win.

The next feature in this game, and the main one in terms of payout potential, is the free spins game. To activate the free spins game, players must simultaneously land four or more free spin scatters on the board. Do this, and the game will issue you with several free spins. In the free spins round, multiplier icons can be landed – these are the doughnuts you'll see. They range from 2x to 100x and remain after a cluster round has finished. This helps boost the payout from any wins found with them involved.

Furthermore, players will also find that ticket symbols fall during the free spins round. These are known as cumulative symbols and are collected in a meter throughout the free spins round. If you manage to land five of these during the free spins, you will be given access to the bonus game at the end of the free spins. This is a pick-and-win game with five boxes containing prizes. The prizes are either more free spins or multipliers to be applied to your free spins payout haul amount. Finally, players may also purchase their access to the free spins using the bonus buy option. However, this option is not available in all territories.

Conclusion

Although this free play slots might not set the market alight with exciting new dynamics or features, there is a lot to be said about this charming and colourful game. For starters, the theme and aesthetics are well-designed and pleasant to play with. Regarding the payout potential, the RTP is good, the top payout is promising, and the features are rather generous. Overall, this is a well-performing and engaging online slot from the Gamzix studio. You can also play Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play for free.
