Ox Bonanza Slots
Coming up with creative ideas for new slot games must be a tough job. That said, many creators do manage to produce new games that tick this box. The animal theme has often been done multiple times by most slot game developers, so what is this one going to give us? How big is this Ox Bonanza and what on earth does it mean anyway? You're about to find out.
No doubt you've heard of this developer
Does the name Realtime Gaming ring any bells? RTG is at the front and center of many engaging slots today, and we've got another one of those here for you.
Demo accessibility is available as usual
You cannot count on every developer to provide you with a chance to try a game first, but you can certainly do this with RTG. Take Ox Bonanza for a few practice spins before working out whether it's right for you to play.
Theme details for this animal slot
We know there must be animals in this one thanks to the title, and there is indeed an ox there. If we reveal that there are another 11 animals in it too, it might reveal that this is a Chinese zodiac slot. It ties in with the Year of the Ox, the year in which this game was released.
The design works beautifully with the theme
Cherry blossoms often feature in an Oriental theme, and we can see them in this one as well. Expect many other neat touches to the design that help bring out its best features.
What can you expect to see if you play the Ox Bonanza slot game?
This is a five-reel game, offering three symbols per reel as you might have expected. It also comes with two progressive prizes.
Finding the ox behaving as a substitute was not a shock, and it offers a 2x multiplier to prizes it becomes part of. Unfortunately, it only turns up on reel one of the game. We have a scatter symbol to look for as well, and this bears the message Ox Bonus.
Ox Bonanza offers fixed paylines
This means they must all be played, and you've got 25 to play on.
Line bets confirm this is a penny slot
The fixed lines in play here mean that you must play a quarter per spin at the lowest end of the scale. The highest bet is 50 cents per line, equating to a total bet of $12.50. That's a lot lower than we've seen in other slots from this developer.
Don't forget to read through the paytable before you begin
You never know how an individual slot is going to pan out until you read through the rules. You can do that in the Ox Bonanza paytable, accessed from the foot of your game screen.
Does this slot include any bonus features?
Are you still thinking about that wild restricted to reel one of this game? There is a random feature that might crop up when it lands there. This is called the Morphing Wild, and it can choose to transform one or more of the other zodiac animals into wilds as well. You might see just one animal change, or you might see several. You can see, therefore, that the random element could turn an average or losing spin into something quite different.
Free spins triggered by the Ox Bonus scatter symbol
Find three of those bonus symbols and you'll get 10 free spins. However, four or five of the scatters produce better results, with either 20 or 100 spins to play, respectively. No matter how many spins you start with, there is an opportunity to get three more scatters for more free spins, along with the Morphing Wild feature occurring randomly throughout them.
We don't know the value of the RTP
The return to player percentage is an important element of any slot, but it does not appear in the paytable for this game.
Is Ox Bonanza one of our favorite Chinese zodiac slots?
It does have some engaging elements rolled into it, and we think there's enough appeal in this one to receive 7.5 points out of 10.
How often do those progressive jackpots drop?
If only we knew, but the idea of these is that there are random triggers. It may also depend on how many players try the game and contribute to the jackpot. We hope it won't be long before we have news of the next winner.
Play the demo first to see what you make of this one
It's a fine slot to play, but we guess it won't be ideal for all players. Fortunately, the demo allows you to see what it's like before you do anything else.
The real game is awesome to check out if the bets suit you
It's important to check your wager before spinning the reels in the real game, as all bets will be final and cannot be canceled.
You can play this on Android and iOS too
This means all available devices and platforms are fine for checking out the Ox Bonanza game if you like the look of it. Touchscreen controls are good to try in demo mode first.
