The Best Live Lotto Game Show? – Vegas Ball Bonanza by Pragmatic

Live casino lotto and lottery-style games are the new trend at online casinos. As a testament to that, Pragmatic Play has just joined the party with the release of Vegas Ball Bonanza. Think of it as a variation of Evolution’s Mega Ball, full of glitz and bonus multipliers in each round. The concept is simple, and the game rounds are rapid, so if you want something easy where you can win up to 20,000x per ticket or €500,000, Vegas Ball is the game to play since 26th Jul 2023.

Vegas Ball Bonanza combines mechanic and digital RNG that play at 95.97% RTP. It’s broadcast from a state-of-the-art studio in 4K ultra-high definition and has a host who further guides through this easy and intuitive game. There’s a total of 9 cards available for purchase, each with a 3x3 grid and 9 numbers that will be drawn automatically by the tumbling device in the middle of the studio. Before each round starts, the game chooses 5 Lucky numbers that will get a multiplier between 2x and 50x. If that lucky number is drawn during a round, the entire card will get multiplied by that number.

Just 9 balls are drawn by default from a to 30 numbered balls, plus a single instance of each bonus ball: Star and Wild. When these are drawn, the following happens:

• Star Ball – activates all bonus multipliers simultaneously. Appears in 1 in 3.23 games.
• Wild Ball – triggers up to 4 extra balls by spinning the 10-segment bonus wheel on the right. Appears in 1 in 3.44 games.

You need horizontal or vertical pay-lines to win, with up to four lines to be won per round. Hitting the full house pattern will pay out 250x the player’s bet as follows:

• 1 Line pays 1:1
• 2 Lines pay 5:1
• 3 Lines pay 20:1
• 4 Lines pay 60:1
• Full House (hitting all numbers on a card) pays 250:1.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play said: “Vegas Ball Bonanza™ exemplifies Pragmatic Play’s commitment to deliver the most premium entertainment experience and is very much in keeping with our strategy to twist, transform and elevate Live Casino to power up new possibilities of play for our partners and their players. We’ve taken familiar mechanics and given it a twist to suit Live Casino audiences, combining a low barrier to entry with bonus balls alongside thrilling multipliers packaged in a stunning environment designed to engage and retain players.”

Vegas Ball Bonanza has been available at Pragmatic Live casinos for just over a week, so consider giving it a shot if you’re looking for something fast-paced and easy. Other similar games in this category are Mega Fire Blaze Ball Brasileiro by Playtech, and Monopoly Big Baller by Evolution which launched in the summer of 2022. In fact, Evolution has another lotto game coming out shortly, called Lightning Lotto Live, which we’ll make sure to review once it’s out. Which one is the best is for you to decide, but this release has received good feedback and is attracting more players than Snakes & Ladders, at least for now.
