888 Bonanza is a Pragmatic Play slot that raises one simple question: why?

A clone of the completely forgettable Caishen’s Gold, the Asian-themed 888 Bonanza fails to impress us in any way, shape, or form, except for the high RTP.

There is obviously a market for this type of slot but we feel fans of the genre already have more than enough options to satisfy any need.

888 Bonanza RTP

888 Bonanza has a Return to Player of 97.08%, which is unusually high, especially by 2023 standards.

At the time of writing this review, only one RTP version has been released of this game.

Gameplay and features

888 Bonanza is a win-all-ways slot that is played on a 5×3 grid, with 243 ways to win. As is often the casino with Asian-themed slots, the number 8 plays a big role – not just in the name of the slot, but also in the bet sizes and payouts.

The minimum bet is 0.38 per spin, going up to 228 per spin.

Other features include:

• High variance (4/5).
• Premium symbols are worth between 1.97 to 5.26 times the stake for each 5OAK.
• Wilds substitute all symbols and may trigger the jackpot feature.
• Three or more scatters trigger the free spins bonus for 10 free spins plus a cash prize up to 50x.
  • During free spins, only wilds and premium symbols are present on the reels.
  • Free spins may be retriggered.
• Any wild may randomly activate the Jackpot Feature, where you are guaranteed to win a jackpot worth 30x, 50x, 100x, or 1,000x the bet.

What is the maximum win on 888 Bonanza?

You can win up to 1,000x the bet on 888 Bonanza, which seems like a low number, especially when you take the slot’s high variance into account.

CasinoWizard’s verdict: 2 out of 5 stars

888 Bonanza is one of those slots that may work well as a Las Vegas-type slot in a land-based casino environment but falls short as an online slot.

The Asian theme is as generic as themes get, the free spins bonus is uninspired, and the jackpot pick bonus is tiresome and plain. The low max win doesn’t do much to enthuse CasinoWizard either.

All in all, the only reason to seek out 888 Bonanza is for the high RTP of 97.08%. This is a good slot to plough through some bonus wagering requirements with, and not much else.
