HOW TO PLACE BETS ON BONANZABALLZ

      BonanzaBallz is a game of numbers and colours consisting of 48 numbers and 8 colours. Every six minutes, 35 numbers (sometimes 40 numbers when there is an extra draw of 5 numbers) are drawn out of the 48 available numbers to choose from. A punter can select 14 various options to play with additional bonuses and two jackpots which earns a punter more winnings. The minimum stake is ₦50 and the maximum winning is ₦10,000,000. Interestingly, you can select up to 10 different options on one ticket.

1. Six to Ten number Selection: Here, a punter selects 6 to 10 numbers between 1 and 48 to appear out of the 35 drawn numbers. When six numbers are selected, it is a normal bet but when more than 6 numbers are selected, it becomes a combination bet. The minimum stake for selected numbers always displays in the ‘stake box’.

The winning of a punter is determined by the position of the last of the balls chosen as there are odds attached to numbers as they are drawn except the first five. At least, six numbers out of the numbers chosen must be drawn in order to win. There are always four additional consecutive rounds that a player can play at every point in time.

2.  Random Selection: Here, a punter does not choose the numbers himself but wants the system to select numbers randomly so cashier selects for the punter between 6 and 10 in the random box which then follows the same rule as the 6 to 10 number selection where a minimum of six numbers have to be drawn and the winning is determined by the position of last of the balls to be drawn.

3. Color bet: This is when a punter selects six numbers of the same colour and all six numbers must be drawn out of the 35 drawn numbers. The winning is determined by the position of the last of the six selected numbers drawn. When a punter plays Colour bet, he has the opportunity to win a Color bonus which will be explained in detail under bonuses.

4. First ball Color: Here, a punter has the opportunity to bet on the Color of the first ball that will be drawn. There are eight colors to choose from and the result is determined immediately after the first ball is drawn. The odd to win is 7.00.

5. Special bets: This consists of options that have a 50:50 chance of occurrence and there are eight options to choose from. Odd to win any of these options is 1.90.

Additional Bonuses/Jackpots

1. Double Win: There are always two stars in every draw that appears in random positions; if the last of the numbers selected drops on a star, it doubles the winning of the customer: for example; if the last of the numbers selected drops on odd 9.03 and the customer played the game with ₦500: winning = 500 X 9.03= ₦4, 515 X 2 = ₦9, 030.

2. Colour Bonus: This bonus is won when all six single-colour numbers are selected on a single ticket in a single bet, and all those numbers are drawn among the first 15 numbers in that round as highlighted in an arrow shown below. If the bonus is won by more than one player, it is shared evenly between or amongst them. It is won randomly.

3. No Match Bonus: In each draw, there are 13 numbers that are undrawn. If a Punter’s 6 selected numbers are not among the 35 drawn numbers, the punter wins the no-match bonus amount displayed on the screen. If there is more than one winner, the no-match bonus is split equally among the winners.  

4. Mystery Jackpot: Mystery jackpot is a random jackpot that drops on any winning ticket. There are no conditions attached to winning this jackpot. It can drop on any winning ticket and this bonus is added to the customer’s initial win. If there is more than one winner, the mystery bonus is split equally among the winners. 

5. Golden Round Bonus: Golden bonus round occurs periodically and all odds in a golden round are double of the odds in a usual draw; thus, all winnings are doubled. The background color changes from the standard orange color to a gold background. All other bonuses (e.g. Star bonus, return bet, extra draw, color bonus etc) are not active during a golden draw

6. Return Clover: A return Clover (Green clover highlighted in a red box below) indicates a return bet. If a Punter’s 6 selected numbers do not appear in the round and one of the numbers drops on a clover, the punter gets his stake back. If a Punter selects more than line.

7. Result of the Last 4 Draws: There is usually a display of the last four (4) drawn results on the cashier interface. This enables punters to cross-check the result of their previous selection(s) if they are probably not able to monitor it on the TV during the draw.
