About SYNOT Games
SYNOT Games is part of the wider Central European SYNOT gaming group and has operated as an online content supplier for roughly a decade. It develops mobile-oriented slots for regulated markets and holds B2B permissions including licences from the Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission.
Skull Bonanza is its only Bonanza-labelled game on this site. Released in 2022, it uses a Día de los Muertos setting rather than the generic Wild West theme found in the old review.
Sticky skulls and configurable RTP
| Layout | 5x3 |

| Maximum win | 10,000x |
| Published RTP range | Approximately 85.11% to 97.99%, depending on configuration |
| Main feature | Free spins with sticky wild skulls |
Three scatters award ten free spins. Skull wilds then remain in position, and special versions can carry extra-spin or win-multiplier values. A favourable early wild can therefore influence several later spins, although there is no certainty that useful matching symbols will land around it.
The game also offers a conventional gamble feature after eligible wins. Choosing red or black can double the selected amount or lose it. The odds and limits are defined by the game rules, and repeatedly gambling wins is not a method of changing the original slot's house edge.
The largest fact-check issue is the RTP. The site's 97.91% figure appears close to the highest available configuration, but Skull Bonanza has been supplied with a very wide range extending down to roughly 85.11%. A casino running the lowest model would retain almost 15% theoretically, making the in-game percentage far more important than the provider-page headline.
Bonanza as a standalone title
SYNOT has not created a broader Bonanza engine. Skull Bonanza is a conventional nine-line game distinguished by sticky wilds and its cultural presentation. The word mainly signals a high potential ceiling.
I like the game's clarity, but its quality depends heavily on the selected RTP. At the upper setting it looks unusually competitive; at the bottom it becomes one of the least player-friendly configurations in this catalogue.
SYNOT's European licences do not authorise a casino to offer online pokies to Australians. Operator availability and local restrictions must be checked separately.
