Aztec Magic Bonanza is the pays-anywhere entry in BGaming’s Aztec Magic series, released on 17 February 2022 – three weeks after Aztec Magic Megaways. Its rules text is the same as Bonanza Billion‘s, but the numbers differ: a slightly higher 96.11% RTP and a lower 10,200x cap.
Key facts
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Release | 17 February 2022 |
| Grid | 6×5, pays anywhere, refilling reels |
| RTP | 96.11% (BGaming); SlotCatalog lists 96% |
| Volatility | High |
| Max win | 10,200x the bet |
| Hit rate | 1 in 2.59 spins (about 38.61%) |
| Free spins rate | 1 in 398 spins |
How it plays
- Pays anywhere: the total number of a symbol on screen sets the win. Winners vanish, symbols drop, and the grid refills until no new win forms.
- Free spins: 4, 5 or 6 scatters award 10, 20 or 30 free spins; 3 scatters in the round add 5.
- Multipliers: only in free spins, worth x2 to x100. They stay until the refill sequence ends, then all multipliers on screen are added together and multiply the sequence’s total win.
The launch press mentioned “up to 40 free spins”; BGaming’s rules give 30 for six scatters plus 5 per retrigger, which is what we follow.
Buy and Chance x2
A buy starts free spins on the next spin; Chance x2 slightly raises the bet for more scatters. They can’t be used together. BGaming shows prices only in the game; SlotCatalog lists 100x for the buy and +25% per spin for Chance x2.

BGaming doesn’t call them twins, but the rules text is identical. The choice is between 0.14 points of RTP and a 15,000x ceiling. For the same format at 97.17% with base-game multipliers, see Gemhalla.
The Aztec Magic series
The 2018 Aztec Magic Deluxe is a low-volatility 5×3 classic; the Megaways version adds sticky multiplier wilds and a 12,960x cap; this game brings the series to the pays-anywhere format. Game producer Yulia Aliakseyeva at launch: “We’re delighted to present another game of the Aztec Magic series, called Aztec Magic Bonanza.”

Poor fit: players who chose Bonanza Billion for its 15,000x ceiling.[/wpremark]
Verdict
A competent pays-anywhere slot that shares its rules with Bonanza Billion. The 96.11% RTP is a touch better, the 10,200x cap a good deal lower, and free spins arrive about once in 398 spins. Pick it for the theme and the slightly better return; pick Gemhalla if you want the newer, higher-RTP version of the format.
