Strike it Gold: Win Ways is a Greentube (Novomatic) rip-off of both BTG trademarked Megaways engine, and their iconic Bonanza. The medium volatility makes this a more easy-going alternative, and the slot plays out on 6 reels, 1 top reel and up to 117,649 win ways. The big attraction is the unlimited progressive multiplier bonus round, where payouts up to 9,052x can be landed.

Strike it Gold Win Ways Review

We all know that the world of online slots is filled to the brim with ripped-off ideas, concepts and themes. This is the nature of all creative industries. However, most of the time it’s done in a more low-key manner than what Greentube/Novomatic has pulled off with Strike it Gold: Win Ways. Trademarking a blatant Megaways engine rip-off, and calling it something as generic as Win Ways™, seems a bridge too far, and we wouldn’t be surprised if BTG takes this to court.

Other developers have simply implemented the engine without purchasing the licence from BTG, but then without mentioning it by name. Rebranding it as your own is a whole other ball game in our view. To top it all off, Greentube’s “Win Ways™” debut game is an in-your-face copycat of Bonanza, which just happens to be Big Time Gaming’s most successful title that helped put said engine on the map in the first place.

Talk about stirring up some controversy. Anyway, to end on a more positive note, players who’ve been dreaming of a less volatile Bonanza might be happy to jump ship.

The max win potential hasn’t been slized too much in this copycat version, so there is that. The mining theme is more cartoonish in this game, and the 37.94 % hit rate means you’ll run into winning combos more than every 3 spins on average.

Strike it Gold: Win Ways Features

The keg wild will step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, but it will only appear in the top horizontal reel. As we firmly established in the intro above, the rest of the features are also similar to what you find in BTG’s Bonanza Megaways. However, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know anyway.

The Reaction feature comes into play every time you land a winning combo, and it effectively removes all winning symbols from the screen. A new batch of potential winners will then drop from above, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.

This is the well-known Cascading Wins (or Avalanche feature) that experienced players have seen many times before.

You get 12 Free Spins when you land 4 Gold Bar scatters anywhere in sight. You also get +5 extra spins on top of the minimum of 12 for each scatter you land above the minimum of 4. The scatter symbols will only appear on the top horizontal reel during the bonus round, and 3 or 4 on the same spin awards +5 or +10 free spins to your tally, respectively.

The big highlight of the bonus round is the progressive win multiplier. The multiplier starts at 1x, and it will increase with +1 for each Reaction Win. There is no upper limit as to how high the multiplier can go, and there is also no cap on the number of extra spins you can get.

Being big fans of Bonanza (who isn’t), we had mixed feelings trying this blatant rip-off. The math model is somewhat different though, which made us a bit curious to how this one plays out. If the same goes for you, we’re hardly gonna stop you from checking out how we fared. Simply hit the play button, and you’ll get to see all the highlights from our test session.

Review Summary

We’re unsure if this is some kind of revenge from Greentube/Novomatic, cause it comes across as a wierd practical joke.

Strike it Gold Win Ways Slot Screenshot 2696

We get that they’re probably upset about the whole industry ripping off their Book of … mechanic, but is a blatant Bonanza copycat, complete with a trademarked Megaways engine rip-off, really gonna solve anything. We don’t see BTG’s mega hit taking too much damage from this, and imitation, as we all know, is the most sincere form of flattery.

It’s not like Strike It Gold: Win Ways outperforms the obvious source of inspiration in any way either. Greentube/Novomatic could have created a monster with 10x the potential, or something like that, but no. Instead, it’s a watered down version with medium volatility, perhaps aiming to shave off some prospectors longing for a lower risk alternative. It will be interesting to see whether or not this “feud” ends in court.

Pros

  • Up to 117,649 Win Ways™
  • Bonus round with progressive multiplier
  • Medium volatility and 9,052x potential

Cons

  • Shameless Bonanza and Megaways rip-off

If you appreciate Strike it Gold: Win Ways you should also try:

Bonanza Megaways - is the original BTG monster hit that sparked the whole Megaways frenzy. It’s a far better alternative as long as you can handle the higher volatility.

The features and mechanics are all the same, but this game comes with a higher potential of 12,000x your stake.

Diamond Mine Megaways - is Blueprint’s Bonanza knock-off, and it comes with mystery symbols and a bonus round with unlimited progressive win multiplier. The max win is capped at £250,000, which is common for many Blueprint titles.

Bonanza Megapays - is Big Time Gaming’s latest version of their iconic masterpiece, and this one comes with 4 progressive jackpots. The Mega Jackpot seeds at €300,000, and the rest of the game is similar to the original. Jackpots wins above 3,000,000x are announced to be possible here.
