BetsRank Verdict

Our read of the game, based on the data the studio publishes

Watching Big Time Gaming build a hold and spin is a bit like watching a luthier assemble a factory electric guitar: the craft is there, but you expected something else. The coin feature has been everywhere since 2018, and Big Bucks Deluxe does not reinvent it. What it does do is set it on a variable-reel grid and layer stacked multipliers on top, which visibly changes the payout profile. The game's real asset is the final multiplication in Hold and Spin. Summing the revealed amounts then multiplying by every multiplier found produces enormous gaps between an average feature and a lucky one. The doubling when the grid fills adds a clear visual target — watching coins occupy 42 positions creates a tension most competing hold and spins never manage. The Megapots, though, deserve a warning. These are not progressive jackpots fed by players: they are three tiers whose values drift within fixed ranges. The presentation above the grid nonetheless suggests a classic progressive. And since they only drop during Hold and Spin, you have to trigger the feature before you can even hope to see one. On the downside, the €10 stake ceiling is the lowest in the studio's recent catalogue, which makes the title genuinely uncomfortable for a high-volume player. Published data also diverges a lot: Big Time Gaming states 96.26% RTP and an 89,200x maximum, while several serious databases show 96.28% and either 88,888x or 89,600x. We go with the supplier's figures, but the gap is worth flagging. Finally, alternative settings at 94.12% and 86.19% circulate at some operators — check the paytable before you stake anything.

Big Bucks Deluxe in detail

Big Bucks Deluxe landed on 23 April 2025, and it is an unusual Big Time Gaming release. The Australian studio drops its cascades for the most widespread mechanic on the market — the coin-based hold and spin — and grafts it onto its own variable-reel chassis. The title carries a double pun: a buck is both a dollar and a stag, and it is a golden stag that serves as the scatter. The art direction plays retro luxury against a midnight-blue background, and it works better than this studio's usual visual habits. The grid has six reels, each showing between two and seven symbols, which makes the number of ways to win swing between 64 and 117,649 from spin to spin. That is exactly the model Big Time Gaming invented and trademarked as Megaways in 2016 with Bonanza. This title does not carry the word in its name, but the underlying mechanic is the studio's own — the same one Pragmatic Play, Blueprint and Relax Gaming have licensed at a cost for years. Be careful with the 117,649 figure: it is a theoretical maximum, not a permanent value. When the reels run short, you drop back to a few hundred combinations. The heart of the game is Hold and Spin. Six or more coins trigger the feature with three respins. Each coin reveals a fixed amount, a multiplier, or a Megapots icon. Any new coin that lands resets the respin counter to three. At the end, the amounts are added together and then multiplied by every multiplier collected — and if every grid position ends up covered in coins, the total is doubled. Megapots are three jackpots displayed above the reels, winnable only during Hold and Spin. Their values shift: Mini swings between 100x and 300x the stake, Midi between 1,000x and 8,888x, Mega between 20,888x and 88,888x. That last figure explains why several pages online quote 88,888x as the game's maximum win: they confuse the jackpot ceiling with the actual game ceiling, which Big Time Gaming puts at 89,200 times the stake. Free spins need three golden stags and pay twelve spins, plus two per additional scatter. A global multiplier starts at x1 and gains a point every time a coin lands, with no announced cap. A retrigger adds four spins. Big Time Gaming states a 96.26% RTP, a hit rate around 35% and stakes from €0.20 to €10. Two bonus buys exist: 35x the stake for Hold and Spin, 100x for the twelve free spins.

The studio owns the engine; other publishers rent it.

What are the Megapots?▾

Three jackpots displayed above the grid.

Their values are not fixed but drift within ranges: Mini from 100x to 300x, Midi from 1,000x to 8,888x, Mega from 20,888x to 88,888x the stake. They can only be won during Hold and Spin.

Hold and Spin costs 35 times the stake, the twelve free spins cost 100. Some countries ban bonus buys outright, and the option then disappears from the interface.
