Bonus Runner Review

StakeLogic have been on the scene for quite some time now, and our catalog had 183 slots to their name at the time of writing. That’s a fair number, and it shows that the team is in it for the long run. Recently, we’ve seen an influx of fruit slots from it, and Bonus Runner is yet another addition to that line. It does come with a progressive jackpot, though, and even its playing field is rather intriguing. It has 6 reels, 5 rows and 44 ways to win, but the trick is that you can get only three-of-a-kind combinations. That’s because the slot’s ways to win are all over the place – some of them start on reel 1, some of them start on reel 2, and some of them start on reel 3.

Visually, the designers decided to go for some seriously old-school looks, and it’s a hit-or-miss affair. If you enjoy basic stuff and graphics that call back to classic slot machines, there’s every chance that you’ll like it.

The volatility level of Bonus Runner is medium-high, but its jackpot is only 1,086x your bet (not counting the progressive jackpot). You can enjoy the action for all sorts of stakes, too, from $/€/£0.20 to $/€/£400 per spin. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Bonus Runner is only 95%, which is nothing to write home about.

Bonus Runner Slot Features

The paytable of Bonus Runner offers 9 pay symbols, and there are 4 low pays, 4 mid pays and one high pays. For low pays, there are oranges, plums, pears, and bells, which all pay 1x your bet for a combination. For mid pays, there are strawberries, grapes, melons, and sevens, which all pay 2x your bet for a combination.

For specials, there are Wilds, Bonus symbols and Star overlays. Wilds are entirely straightforward, and they’ll even give you a 5x payout if you find 3 of them on a payline.

Land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols to trigger the Free Spins feature with 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. During free spins, all Wilds that land will become Sticky, moving by one position downward with each free spin. If you run out of free spins with Wilds still present on the reels, you’ll get up to 4 respins that will allow those Wilds to finish their journey.

Certain pay symbols can come with Star overlays, and these can net you pleasant payouts if you find them in the right configuration. It’s a fairly complex system, but don’t worry. The game will make all the calculations for you – you just need to focus on getting as many Star overlays as possible!

As for the slot’s progressive jackpot - its current value is always displayed above the playing field, and you can win it during any paid spin. Once it hits its maximum value, it will be paid out immediately, so it’s all about being in the right place at the right time!

And, to round things off, there’s the Buy Bonus option that you can use to just trigger free spins outright for 100x your bet.
