Bonus Game

A broad term for any special feature that takes the player away from the main reels to a new screen or mode of play to win prizes.

A Bonus Game is a break from the standard spinning action. Triggered by Scatters or other special symbols, it's a feature designed to be more interactive and entertaining. It can take many forms:
- Pick-Me Bonus: Choose from a selection of hidden items (like treasure chests) to reveal cash prizes.
- Wheel of Fortune: Spin a wheel to win multipliers, cash, or trigger another feature.
- Trail Bonus: Move along a game board, collecting prizes as you go.
It's a catch-all term for any feature that isn't a standard Free Spins round.

Real-World Examples

- Rainbow Riches (Barcrest) - Features a legendary "Road to Riches" trail bonus
- 9 Masks of Fire (Gameburger) - Features a wheel that determines free spins and multipliers
- Deadwood (Nolimit City) - Offers a choice between two distinct bonus games

FAQs

Are bonus games pure luck?<br>Yes. While you get to make choices, the outcome is still predetermined by the RNG the moment you trigger the feature. Your choices reveal the prize, but don't change it.
