Ox Bonanza Slots

What is an Ox Bonanza anyway? The title does have a crucial clue involved, but other than expecting an ox to turn up, it doesn't tell us much else. Fortunately, we've found the game and played it already, so if you want some clues to the theme and everything else involved here, we've got everything you need.

Can you guess which developer created the game?

We haven't given you any clues for that, but we can confirm the game was created by the team at RTG - Realtime Gaming, for their full name.

This confirms that we've got a demo version to play

RTG likes to give its players time to try games before deciding whether to change over to the real versions. They've done this here as well, thankfully.

Have you worked out the theme yet?

If we told you that the ox is one of 12 animals, you might guess we're looking at another Chinese New Year slot game here. January is a cool month if you're into slots based around this theme, as their New Year begins with another animal in action.

Does this slot game offer a solid design?

Yes, it looks cool, with cherry blossoms in a vague backdrop that looks as if it is filled with clouds. On the reels, we can see various animals, including a pig, a dog, a rat, and the ox, of course. The only downside is that they've given us the standard letters and numbers where the cheap prizes are concerned… and they don't have a relevant design either.

How can you begin playing Ox Bonanza slots?

The game offers five reels to spin, and it only takes a moment to see there are two progressive jackpots on the screen - a minor and a major one.

A wild ox makes sense given the theme, so it has an important role to play for you. It only shows up on the first reel though, which is unusual. You can also see another icon labeled OX BONUS, shown in red and gold. This is the scatter symbol.

Is this a payline game or a way wins game?

The former, as it has 25 fixed lines in play. This means one bet per spin covering all those lines.

How much do you need to bet?

The minimum quarter bet per spin means that this is still a penny slot, as there are 25 lines in play. You can also sort through other potential bets, reaching the maximum of $12.50. This keeps the slot at the lower end of the betting range for most players.

Paytable details for Ox Bonanza

RTG has done the usual excellent job of giving you access to all the symbols, the special features, and other elements rolled into this game, all appearing on the paytable.

Look for this random bonus feature

Watch for the Morphing Wild that can turn up on any spin. We mentioned that the wild ox could only appear on the first reel. When it does, it might - might, as it doesn't always happen - change some of the other zodiac symbols appearing in that spin into more wilds. So… watch those wilds when they do appear on the first reel because you could end up with more.

Can you find any free spins?

Yes, and those OX BONUS symbols are key to getting them. You can find 10 spins in exchange for three symbols, and this doubles to 20 spins for four. If you can find five symbols, you'll earn a massive 100 free games to play. You can also retrigger your spins by finding three or more additional OX BONUS symbols in the same free spin. And yes, Morphing Wilds could also occur during those spins.

RTP details are absent

Many players know that RTG games don't come with RTP values or at least nothing solid. This is the case here too.

Our rating is…

Eight points out of 10, as there are ample features here to earn that score. Having a chance to score up to 100 free games is awesome, and of course, we also have those Morphing Wilds to look for.

Check the paytable for possible winning amounts

Other than those, you also have two progressive prizes above the reels. We wonder who will be next in line to scoop one of those?
