Olympus Bonanza Claw — review

The numbers are mixed. The max win is listed as 10000 times the stake — solid at the high end — but the RTP is set to 95, i.e. a full percentage point below the market standard. Volatility is set to Høj, and the release was on 27. marts 2026.

01A percentage point is not insignificant

95 vs 96 sounds like a detail. Over time it's not a detail: the difference almost doubles the theoretical house edge fra fire til fem procent af omsætningen. In a game with high volatility, where you already have to play a long time to reach the bonus rounds, that difference hits harder than in a calm game.

On the other hand, you get something for it. The 10000x ceiling is twice as high as what several titles in the pool offer with better RTP. It's a real trade-off, not just a bad deal — but it's a trade-off the player must make consciously.

Taken together the numbers say: rare, potentially large outcomes, paid for with a lower average return. If you don't buy into the premise, there are better choices in the pool.

02Fruits in the home of the gods

The symbol set follows the theme list toward fruit symbols — apple, grapes, watermelon — combined with crown, chalice and lightning. It's a direct reference to the most copied cascade title in the industry, where fruit symbols tumble down against a Greek backdrop.

Some may find it lazy, and in part it is. But it's also a clear marketing decision: players looking for a specific type of game recognize the term in half a second, and the provider doesn't need to explain anything.

Clawbuster is a small studio without significant catalog weight, so the product should be judged by its numbers rather than by its name.

03The engine: cascades, Scatter Pays and free spins

Avalanche and Cascading remove winning symbols, after which new ones fall down. The Pay Anywhere principle is in Scatter Pays, i.e. payout by the number of symbols on the grid regardless of position. No paylines, no patterns to learn.

Scatter symbols trigger Free Spins, where the Free Spins Multiplier normally accumulates instead of resetting, and Additional Free Spins make it possible to extend the round. Random multiplier places random multipliers on the grid.

That is precisely the construction a 10000x cap requires. The whole potential lies in the bonus round, where a long chain multiplied by an accumulated multiplier is the only realistic path to the top.

04Buy feature and increased stake

Both Buy Feature and Bonus Bet are listed. With an RTP of 95 there is reason to be extra attentive: buy features often have their own, differing RTP, and it can be either above or below the base game's. The figure is not shown in the provided data and should be checked in the game's info screen.

Bonus Bet raises the stake in exchange for a better chance at the bonus. The combination of high volatility, low RTP and two ways to accelerate the bonus is a package that can drain a bankroll quickly if you don't set limits in advance.
