Carmen, by WMS, has an interesting Bonus round.  When a special symbol shows up on Reel 5, it turns all of the lowest value symbols to upgrade to the next higher symbol.

So, the first time all Hair Pins (worth up to 50) turn into Fans (60) for the current and future bonus spins.  And so on...Wine (75), Sword (80), Rose (90), Bull (125), Soldier (150), Matador (200), Gypsy (300), Senorita (400).  So, if you get 9 spins with the special Reel 5 symbol, you get a full screen of Senoritas for a win of 400 x 40, or 16,000.

And, assuming you can also upgrade to Wilds, you might win 1,000 x 40, or 40,000.

Note that as you progress through the upgrades, the chances of getting 5 symbol wins also increases because there are fewer symbol types on each reel.  For example, if you reach Senorita, the reels will only have Senoritas and Wilds (and the special symbol on Reel 5).

Based on a guess on how often the special symbol shows up during the Bonus round, a simulation was made that ran through 10,000 bonuses (given the crude initial assumptions, running more bonuses would be useless).  An estimate was then made of how often a player would reach a full screen of Senoritas.  Also, how often would the symbols reach an upgrade level of Gypsies, Matadors, etc.

The simulation results are shared in the video.  And, as you'll see, the bonus in the video might represent a typical bonus.

Carmen is a game that is worth trying.  The math makes it very interesting to play.  When you reach Roses, the screen looks very nice to look at - and it gets even better.
