Carnival Bonanza Demo & Review

Carnival Bonanza review

Carnival Bonanza takes the Bonanza engine to a medieval fair. Symbols pay anywhere, and scatters can appear on any reel.

Free spins come in rounds of 10, 20 or 30, and they add a progress bar. You start with 2x–5x multipliers, and as you progress more valuable multipliers up to 100x unlock and then appear at random on the reels. That progression gives the bonus a clearer build-up than the original Bonanza Billion. Chance x2 and a bonus buy are available where permitted. BGaming rates it high volatility with a 14,134x maximum and a 96% RTP. Free spins arrive about once every 332 spins.

Carnival Bonanza RTP, volatility and max win

RTP: the default return to player is 96.00%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 96.0 units for every 100 wagered. Some casinos may run a lower configuration; the info screen inside the game shows the exact figure. How RTP works.

Volatility: Carnival Bonanza is a high volatility slot: expect longer stretches between meaningful wins and larger swings in your balance than on a medium-volatility game. The bonus round carries much of the game's value. Volatility explained.

Max win: the maximum payout is 14,134x the stake. What max win really means.
