The Bonus Day Slot Review

Theme and Storyline

Bonuses are a highlight for any employee, and this rings true of the office-themed slot The Bonus Day.

Set inside a bustling, stressful environment, no day is the same for any worker in this Betsoft Gaming title.

Betsoft Gaming has deviated from its usual approach to themes, but The Bonus Day has a degree of charm that will delight players.

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

The Bonus Day has a groovy tune complete with sax notes, which makes this game sound sophisticated.

However, there is an array of background office noises heard. This includes a lift button being pressed, keyboard clicks, and the telephone ringing to add a dose of reality.

The stylish, cartoon art portrays the emotions of workers, ranging from ecstasy to hope.

Meanwhile, the office itself is scattered with desks, discarded dollar notes, and paper covering the floor.

Overall, the graphics and audio give The Bonus Day a more light-hearted feel.

Gameplay

The Bonus Day plays out on a 5-reel, 3-row slot, and there are 243 different winways.

Wins are created by landing at least 3 matching symbols across a payline from left to right.

The boss holding wads of cash and the excited male employee are the highest-paying symbols in this game.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

This game is crammed with fun features. The Wild in The Bonus Day substitutes for all symbols except for the Bonus symbol. It can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only. In the base game, meanwhile, there is a chance that 3-12 random Wilds can be scattered.

During the base game, a special Wild Reel appears on reel 3. A partial stack can nudge up or down to form a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, or 10x. If no wins occur within the Multiplier Wild reel, a free spin is awarded on the remaining reels (once per spin) on the same bet.

Meanwhile, each reel contains Stacked Mystery Symbol positions. After the spin, all Mystery Symbols are filled with the symbol per spin. Players should note that Mystery Symbols can be replaced with any symbol, except Bonus, Wild, and Wild Reel.

The Bonus Day comes with a Hold & Win Feature that is activated by 6 or more Bonus symbols. Bonus symbols carry prize values, while there are also fixed prizes, with the Super paying up to 400x the bet.

There is also a Pick Bonus, where you are presented with 9 sticky notes, and you pick one by one, revealing different prizes. The maximum win available is 10,000x your wager.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

The Bonus Day slips below the desired industry Return to Player (RTP) point, sitting at 95.88%. A lower RTP game can be a harder sell as players can expect a smaller return on bets placed over the long term.

Bets in this game start from $/£/€0.25 per spin, while the maximum wager permitted is $/£/€40.

This game is highly volatile, aligning with our slot machine strategies. Highly volatile games can throw up the potential to grab some big wins, but this occurs less frequently.

Conclusion

The Bonus Day provides a refreshing take on an original office theme.

Its gorgeous graphics, along with its unique bonus features, ramp up the excitement.

While the high volatility rating should keep players engaged, a greater RTP rate would have been preferred.
