Bettys Big Bonanza Slot Machine: Review & Demo
Buck Stakes Entertainment and Games Global are about to release a new slot machine together, and it’s an interesting one. Besides the gorgeous retro-themed graphics that take us back to the 1950s and to drive-in diners of the era, Betty's Big Bonanza also manages to add the right amount of unique features, allowing the player to work his way towards major features even when he’s losing.
Betty's Big Bonanza will have 20 active lines on its 5x3 reels. A $240,000 top jackpot, worth 6,000x the stake, is the ultimate reward that a player may take home. With a 96.35% RTP and high volatility, it’s a fine option for the more experienced players. You will find several great features to help you out, such as wild symbols, free spins, a Wheel that spins to deliver rewards, and a collection mechanic that takes you to that stage.
Betty's Big Bonanza Betting and Prizes
The standard betting range in Betty's Big Bonanza will go from a minimum of $0.20 to a maximum of $40. From there, you can activate the Boost option, for much better odds of getting the Bonus Wheel. It costs 50% more though, so the wagers have a range of $0.30 to $60 with this option on.
Winning 6,000x the amount you wagered is going to feel great, but for a highly volatile slot machine, I think you will find that there is room for better. Still, since you can get paid up to $240,000, I don’t think you will complain. To maximize the odds, go for a slot with the RTP set to 96.35%.
Slot Features
Regular wild symbols will help you out from time to time. This is possible when the wild acts as a replacement, but it can also form combinations directly, offering up to 125x the bet on a line.
Losing spins will bring you Hearts, which are collected so that eventually you can gain access to the Bonus Wheel. You’re going to get the option of the number of spins you want on the Wheel. Each spin could pay as much as 1,000x the stake, but there are also lower prizes or free spins to trigger.
With three scatters on the reels, you can trigger the free spins directly. You’re getting 12 spins if this happens, but the feature doesn’t retrigger through scatters, only if the Wheel gets involved.
Theme & Design
The 50s diner experience is one that people today know mostly from movies, and the retro-style graphics that tie it to that era were very well handled by Buck Stakes Entertainment. I loved the graphics, especially the all-themed symbols showing us the waitresses, but also images of lollipops, popcorn, cherries, or ice cream cones.
Conclusion
Overall, Betty's Big Bonanza looks like an enjoyable slot machine, particularly for advanced players that don’t mind the volatility. It’s got the right features and graphics to be fun for most.
