Bandit Bonanza

Bandit Bonanza is a Wild West slot from Evoplay, released on 3 November 2026. It is played on 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 fixed paylines, the RTP is 96.02%, the volatility is medium and the maximum win is 3,400x the bet. The cast is a gang of desert animals who rob the town, and the whole game is built around a single idea: collecting cash symbols in a bonus game that you can boost in three different ways.

A Desert Town Of Animal Outlaws

The reels sit in a wooden saloon front, with the Badger’s Bureau on the left, the Field Mouse General Store on the right and red rock arches behind them. Three outlaws look down from the roof: a fox in a green hat with a sack marked LOOT, a wolf with a pistol and a red bandana, and a beaver in a blue vest with a box of dynamite. Each of them stands above a sign that names one of the bonus boosters. The reels carry ten regular symbols, headed by the card values A and K, and the Wild substitutes for all of them except the bonus symbols.

The jackpot board above the reels shows four prizes at all times, and the numbers change with your stake. On the intro screen the game states the top aim directly: a max win of more than 3,400 times the bet.

Base Game And Wilds

Wins are formed by identical symbols on a payline, counted from the leftmost reel to the right, and the more matching symbols you get in a row, the bigger the payout. Wilds can appear only on reels 2 to 5.

Four Kinds Of Bonus Symbols

There are four types of bonus symbols: red, purple, green and gold. Each one carries a random value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 12x or 15x the total bet, or one of the labels MINI, MINOR and MAJOR, which stand for the jackpots. Gold symbols appear only inside the bonus game, while the red, purple and green ones appear only in the main game.

When a purple, red or green bonus symbol lands, there is a chance that the bonus game starts with a matching booster. Purple means Extra Wealth, red means Extra Reels and green means Extra Spin. The bonus can start with one, two or all three boosters at the same time, and the animal above the reels that belongs to each booster is highlighted when it is active.

Extra Wealth

With the fox’s booster active, there is a chance in each round of the bonus game that the values of one to four random bonus symbols are increased by 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x the total bet. The booster does not change the MINI, MINOR and MAJOR symbols, but it can turn an ordinary coin into one of the more valuable ones in the middle of the feature.

Extra Reels

The wolf adds a second bonus field at the start of the feature. Bonus symbols from the lower field are copied to the matching positions of the upper field, and both fields then spin independently. At the end the prizes from both fields are added together. If either field fills all of its positions, the feature finishes and both fields are paid. In our run the second field is easy to spot: the board splits into two stacked grids with their own spin counters.

Extra Spin

The beaver raises the number of spins in the bonus game to 4. This booster matters more than it looks, because the counter works like a short set of free spins that keeps resetting.

How The Bonus Game Plays Out

When the bonus starts, every purple, red and green bonus symbol that landed in the triggering round turns into a gold symbol with the same value, and the normal reels are replaced by special reels that contain only gold symbols and empty spaces. You get 3 spins, and each time a new gold symbol lands the counter goes back to 3 (or 4 with Extra Spin). Every gold symbol that lands stays on the reels until the end of the feature.

The bonus ends when the spins run out or when all 15 positions are filled with gold symbols. At that point the values of all gold symbols are summed up and paid, with the same bet as the spin that triggered the round. In the test round the first screen showed only a handful of coins, then the field grew spin after spin until the totals appeared on the right side of the board, one row after another.

Four Jackpots

Some bonus symbols show a jackpot label instead of a number. The four jackpots are Mini 35x, Minor 80x, Major 350x and Grand 3,000x the bet. MINI, MINOR and MAJOR symbols pay the matching prize directly. The Grand jackpot is awarded when you collect all 15 bonus symbols of any single type in the bonus game, and with the Extra Reels booster there is a chance to win two Grand jackpots, one for each field that reaches 15 symbols.

Bonus Buy

The Bonus Buy button on the left of the reels opens a shop with three options, and the price is shown in money, based on the current bet:

• One booster, a random single booster, for 35x the bet (350 on a 10 bet);
• Two boosters, a random pair, for 44x (440);
• Three boosters, all of them together, for 66x (660).

After pressing Buy you confirm the purchase in a pop-up, then the reels spin once and drop the bonus symbols that start the feature. In our test the three-booster option on a 10 bet ended with a total win of 455.00, which is 45.5x the bet. The purchase can be made only in the main game, and it may not be available in all markets.

Who Will Like It

Bandit Bonanza is for players who enjoy a collection feature with a clear goal: fill the board, grab the jackpot labels and watch the totals add up. The three boosters make every bonus different, the Bonus Buy price list is gentler than on many new releases, and the Wild West cast gives it more personality than a plain coin-collect game. With a 3,400x ceiling it is not aimed at record-chasing, but the 96.02% RTP and medium volatility make for a steady session.
