Editor's notes
The slot that put Megaways on the map. Second Megaways title ever released (Dragon Born Megaways was first in February 2016), but Bonanza became the cultural reference — the Megaways mechanic has since been licensed to 200+ titles across 15+ developers including Blueprint, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, ReelPlay, iSoftBet. 6 reels with 2-7 symbols per spin produce variable ways to win, plus a horizontal mine cart reel above the middle 4 reels adding 4 extra positions every spin. Reactions (cascading reels) remove winning symbols; consecutive cascades during base game build to the Free Spins trigger. Free Spins with unlimited multiplier: collect 4 Gold scatter letters G-O-L-D to award 12 free spins, and during the round every consecutive Reaction increments the multiplier with no cap — where the 26,000x ceiling lives. Originally launched at 10,000x max, remastered post-2018 to extend the cap to 26,000x. Gold mine / Wild West theme. Bet range £0.20–£20.
