Gameplay of Bonanza
There are eleven basic winning symbol combinations in this game, as each wins via identical symbol combinations across the reels. The top-paying symbol is clearly the purple diamond with a maximum payout of 50 for six of a kind, while the red gem is second highest at 7.5 for six. With the 9 being the lowest paying symbol combination and having a maximum of 0.8 for six of a kind, it makes the potential contribution from lower paying symbols very limited. It also shows each of the eleven symbols pay for six of a kind, and there are no intermediate range combinations (shortcuts) between the different tiers.

Compared with Big Bad Wolf, symbol values here are flatter but compensate through reactions, and against Gonzo’s Quest, the multiplier buildup feels slower but more dependent on symbol volume than single-screen hits.
