Husbandry is the basis of Barnyard Bonanza, an April 2015 video slot from developer Ainsworth. “Barnyard” equates to farmyard. Bonus Bonanza is another bonanza-branded game from the developer whose other relatable games include Quackpot, Crazy Goose (January 2015), Loose Goose, Royal Swan (September 2020), Super Goose, and Cash Hound (February 2018).

Themes: crop production, farm life, personification, and animal keeping. Barnyard Bonanza has: 20 fixed win lines; left-to-right wins; 41 coins; fourteen symbols; mystery wins; and selectable and symbol-stacking free spins.

Thirteen symbols (tractor, chicken, cow, horse, pig, scarecrow, barn, A, K, Q, J, 9, and 10) should form a three to five-of-a-kind, paying: from X0.50 to X50 in the regular spins; and from X0.50 to X6.25 in the free spins.

Barnyard Bonanza Game Characteristics

The Barnyard Bonanza’s partitioned 5X3 grid, alongside its parchment yellow reels, is set on a crude wooden frame. The fissured and nailed frame supports a twining strawberry, a three-eared cornstalk, and a spade fork.

In the backgrounding farm, there are free range farm animals—cartoonish pig, horse, and chicken—behind a horse fencing that runs parallel with a floral, grassy patch whose farm track contains a tractor’s tire marks. The far ground features rolling hills overlooking a lush corn plantation among a multi-bladed windpump, heaped fodder, and a decent farmhouse.

The Barnyard Bonanza’s coins: $0.01, $0.02, $0.03, $0.04, $0.05, $0.06, $0.07, $0.08, $0.09, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00, $7.00, $8.00, $9.00, $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $25.00, $30.00, $35.00, $40.00, $45.00, $50.00, $55.00, $60.00, $65.00, $70.00, $75.00, $80.00, $85.00, $90.00, $95.00, or $100.00.

The Barnyard Bonanza’s three special symbols: substituting red “wild” tractor; a free mode-activating nesting chicken (scatter); and a mystery win/free spin-triggering golden egg. Ordinaries: golden bell-wearing white cow; bay horse; bowtie-wearing pig, scarecrow, red-and-brown barn; pink “A” achene; brown K achene; grainy orange Q; blue J achene; “9” watermelon; and 10.

Both the regular and free spins offer these Barnyard Bonanza’s odds. 9/10 pay X0.50, X0.75, and X1.25; J/Q pay X0.75, X1.25, and X1.75; A/K pay X1.00, X1.50, and X2.25; barns pay X1.50, X2, and X2.75; scarecrows pay X1.75, X2.25, and X3; pigs pay X2, X2.50, and X3.25; horses pay X2.25, X2.75, and X3.50; cows pay X2.50, X3, and X4; chicken pay X2, X5, and X50; and tractors pay X3, X5, and X6.25. However, chicken are absent in the free mode.

Barnyard Bonanza has two activators for its free spins. First, 3+ chicken yield these five optional (barn-embedded) batches of scaled free spins: ten free spins, with cow-stacking reels; eleven free rounds, with horse-stacking reels; twelve free rounds, with pig-stacking reels; 13 free rounds, with scarecrow-stacking reels; and 14 free games, with barn-stacking reels.

A golden egg—in a regular or free round—unveils either a mystery win (up to betX5), or between one and three free spins. The non-progressive jackpot is $100000.00 for a five-of-a-kind of chicken.

The Barnyard Bonanza software: HTML5 technology; bet history; for mobile and desktop platforms; and 10/25/50/75/100 auto spins, with $0.20 to $200000.00 loss limits and $10.00 to $2.008 billion single win limits.

Sounds: violin instrumental; and retro, grunting pig, cawing, clucking, crowing, and chugging tractor effects. The animated 3D graphics: glittering; kinetic typography; dolly zooming; hatching; and smoky moving tractor, with a gesturing driver.
