Big Benji Bonanza Slot Information

This game is based on the seven guys depicted on the US dollar bills worth 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars. They all served as presidents except the $10 bill Hamilton and our deer 100 dollar man, mister Big Benji. Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and he served as the first United States postmaster general and as Minister to Sweden and France in the late 18th century. He has gotten a modern make-over in Big Benji Bonanza, wearing a blingy crown, smoking a cigar. The other guys in his dollar gang are also modernized, wearing baseball hats, headphones, earrings, and bandanas.

The reels are positioned outdoors on Wall Street, the famous financial district in New York. To the right is the bronze statue Charging Bull, also known as the Bull of Wall Street, covered with graffiti. To the left is a traffic light and a street sign saying Wall St. The 5X3 grid has the frame of a dollar bill and the symbols have different colored backgrounds. On top of the fifth reel is a sign saying 243, reminding the player that there are 243 ways to make a win. You make a win by landing at least 3 of the same symbols on adjacent reels, starting with the first reel to the left. The game can be played on desktops, notepads, and mobiles.

The lower-paying symbols in this cash-abundant game are 10, J, Q, K, and A. The higher-paying symbols are cherries, bell, 7, and diamond. There are also 7 Money Symbols with modern interpretations of the men depicted on dollar bills valued at $1-100. The Wild Symbol substitutes the regular paying symbols, but not our presidential team of Money Symbols. It doesn’t substitute for the Scatter Symbol nor the Cash Machine Symbol neither.

What features are available in the slot Big Benji Bonanza?

The features are Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Money Symbol, Cash Machine Symbol, Super Staxx, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

Golden block letters saying wild on a red background tell you exactly what kind of symbol this is. It can land anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4 and substitutes all regular paying symbols but not the Scatter Symbol, the Cash Machine Symbol, or the Money Symbols.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol is a lottery wheel full of segments in different colors showing dollar signs with Big Benji dollar bills around it. Landing 3 or more scatter symbols activates the free spins feature.

Money Symbol

The dollar bill gentlemen are all Money Symbols with the same value as their corresponding actual dollar bill. Here’s what they are called in the game, with their proper names in brackets.

Georgie (George Washington) = 1X

Jeff (Thomas Jefferson) = 2X

Abs (Abraham Lincoln) = 5X

Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) = 10X

Jacko (Andrew Jackson) = 20X

Grant (Ulysses S. Grant) = 50X

Benji (Benjamin Franklin) = 100X

These symbols work like the regular paying symbols with an extra twist. Landing 3 of the same of these gentlemen on a winline will award you the amount their worth, with Big Benji paying the best (100X the bet). The twist is that these guys become very valuable whenever you land the Cash Machine Symbol in the regular game or the free spins.

Cash Machine Symbol

This symbol, depicted by a money printer, can bring you big wins. It can land on the fifth reel in both the main game and the free spins. Landing the Cash Machine will give you all the money from the present Money Symbols on the reels. If you, for example, have one Jacko and two Grant anywhere on the grid, you’ll be awarded 120X the bet (20+50+50). You will also be awarded for any regular win containing 3 or more symbols on a winline.

Super Staxx

The Super Staxx appears randomly in the free spins, expanding the number of ways to win. Any paid symbol, except the wild symbol, can be expanded from 2 to 10 on its position. The Super Staxx can appear on any reel, and two symbols on the same reel can be super stacked.

Free Spins

You are awarded 10 free spins for landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the grid. If you land 4 scatter symbols, you exclude the lowest-paying Money Symbol Georgie to land in the free spins. If you land 5 scater symbols, you also remove the second-lowest paying Money Symbol, Jeff. The feature starts with a Bonus Wheel containing the 7 Money Symbols. The character that the wheel lands on is the only Money Symbol that can appear in the free spin. You don’t have to worry about landing Georgie or Jeff if you already excluded them while activating the feature.

The free spins are played like regular spins with the exception that you can land Super Staxx, and that no other Money Symbol than your selected one can appear. The lucky player can also win more free spins in the feature and upgrade the kind of Money Symbol that can land. Every time you manage to activate more free spins, you also boost the Money Symbol to the following better-paying one. This is what the scatter symbols will bring you:

2 scatter symbols = 3 free spins and Money Symbol upgrade.

3 scatter symbols = 5 free spins and Money Symbol upgrade.

4 scatter symbols = 10 free spins and Money Symbol upgrade.

5 scatter symbols = 20 free spins and Money Symbol upgrade.

Bonus Buy

This is the feature for any restless player who can’t wait to activate the free spins. For 100X the bet, you will automatically be awarded the free spins with no other winnings.

Big Benji Bonanza Slot Conclusion

The question is if the presidents and other gentlemen of Big Benji Bonanza would be happy with their new looks. Regardless if they’re rolling in their graves or high-fiving each other in the afterlife, is this an exciting and good-looking slot. Lower Manhattan doesn’t give its best impression here, but the characters and the graphics are vibrant. The game developer Jelly was inspired by the bonus features in Big Bass Bonanza while creating this game, and the president-collecting feature has its similarities with the fish-collecting activities in Big Bass Bonanza. The Cash Machine Symbol is another nice feature that can result in big wins in both base game and free spins. Since the symbol only lands on the fifth reel, it highers the anticipation of a big win if you land several high-paying Money Symbols on the previous reels. The Super Staxx can also boost the wins greatly, and it would be nice to have that feature even in the base game.

Unfortunately, the RTP of 95.50% is a little low, and just as Big Bass Bonanza does Big Benji Bonanza have medium/high volatility. The max win of 12957.8X is way better than the game’s RTP, and the hit frequency of 29.01% means that almost every third spin is a win.

Big Benji Bonanza from Jelly presents the dead president of American dollar bills like you have never seen them before, wearing baseball hats, earrings, and bandanas.
