Roman Bonanza Slot Review

Roman Bonanza Slot Overview

When I first sat down with Roman Bonanza, what struck me was how familiar the structure felt yet how neatly Backseat Gaming tied it to a Roman siege theme. You get a 6x5 scatter pays grid where any 8+ matching symbols anywhere in view pay, followed by tumbles that can keep the same spin alive. Above the reels, a Tumble Win meter tracks everything before any multipliers come into play.

The slot runs on a high volatility maths model with a default RTP of 96.31%, plus a max win of 10,000x bet, so Roman Bonanza is built for swingy sessions. Bets start at 10p and go up to 100 credits, which lets me test it gently before raising the stake once I hit a good patch or trigger one of the stronger bonus rounds.

Roman Bonanza Slot Information

The main scene in Roman Bonanza shows a calm, almost solemn Roman city at sunset, with grand stone arches, banners and a discarded shield framing the 6x5 grid. It uses a scatter-pays system, so at least eight of the same symbol anywhere on the reels award a win. I have played it both on desktop and mobile, and the presentation holds up very well across devices.

Roman Bonanza Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Roman Bonanza splits symbols into low-paying gems and high-paying military gear. Green, amber, red, blue and purple stones award from 0.1x bet for 8 of a kind up to 50x bet for 19 or more on the grid. Boots, a ring, a chalice and a Roman helmet sit on top, scaling from 1x up to as much as 400x bet for the largest clusters.

There are no wild symbols in Roman Bonanza, which I actually like here because the focus stays on scatters, Catapults and bombs. Bonus symbols handle entry into the free spins, while Catapult symbols sit in the regular set and do not pay by themselves. Instead, they interact with highlighted winning positions to drop in Multiplier Bombs that decide how big your final tumble prize becomes.

Roman Bonanza Slot Features

Every winning spin in Roman Bonanza triggers a tumble sequence. Winning symbols vanish, new ones drop in and their values add to the Tumble Win display at the top. The Catapult feature then takes that base win and can turn it into something wild. Any winning position gets highlighted, and if a Catapult symbol is present once tumbles end, those marked spots fire Multiplier Bombs onto the grid.

Bombs come in four flavours. Low-value bombs add x2 to x5, medium ones add x10 to x25 and high-value bombs add x50 to x100. Golden bombs are different, as they multiply whatever total multiplier you have by x2, x3, x5 or x10. In practice, when I land several golden hits on top of a big cluster, the leap in paid amount from the Tumble Win meter feels massive.

Roman Bonanza has two main bonus rounds and several buy options. Four scatters launch Arm the Catapults with 10 free spins and an increased chance of seeing Catapults; three extra scatters during the round add 5 spins. Five scatters trigger Siege Command, again with 10 spins, but all highlighted positions stay marked between spins. You can buy Bonushunt spins for 3x, Centurion spins for 50x, or purchase either bonus for 100x or 250x bet.

Roman Bonanza: Slot Verdict

After a good number of sessions, Roman Bonanza has grown on me as a simple but punchy scatter-pays slot. The lack of wilds keeps the gameplay clean, and everything circles around building highlights, landing a Catapult and chasing that 10,000x cap. High volatility means dry spells do appear, yet when Siege Command lines up a packed grid with golden bombs, the game shows exactly what it can do.
