About Sweet Bonanza
Sweet Bonanza is a fruit-themed slot by Pragmatic Play.
While in most slots you win by getting identical symbols in a specific pattern - what’s known as a payline - Sweet Bonanza is ‘all ways pay’. This means that you just have to get eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the six reels and five rows without them having to be in a specific pattern.
When this happens, the symbols pop and disappear in a very satisfying way, while the remaining symbols fall down and leave space for new symbols to tumble down from above. It’s a lot of fun to watch your wins accumulate, and there’s also the added suspense of knowing you only need a few more of a particular symbol to complete a big win.
Before starting Sweet Bonanza, you should decide whether you want to turn on the game’s ante feature. This is done by clicking the bright green button on the left-hand side of the game. If you turn it on, you add more scatters to the reels for an extra cost. This means the minimum bet increases from 0.20 a spin to 0.25 a spin. However, you won’t be able to buy the bonus feature.
If you leave the ante feature off, you can buy the bonus feature at any point in the game, for the cost of 100 times your bet. We don’t recommend you do that, and instead pay a bit extra on each spin. This is because the game will flow better, and the free spins will be worth even more.
The top prize of the game is 21,100x your bet. You get this by activating the free spins round, during which you’ll get random multipliers from 2x all the way up to 100x.
Game features
Here is a brief summary of the slot features you might come across while playing Sweet Bonanza slot.
Ante Bet
The game gives you two gameplay options - first, you can choose to play with the normal bet amount, and buy the free spins bonus round for 100x your bet. Or you can add an extra wager to your base game bet and get more scatter symbols, which doubles the likelihood of activating the free spins round. However, if you choose the latter option, you can’t buy the bonus.
Tumble feature and All Ways Pay
In Sweet Bonanza, the amount your win depends on the total number of symbols appearing on the reels. To get a win, you need to get eight or more of the same symbol. When this happens, the symbols disappear with a pop, and new symbols come tumbling down.
Scatters and Free Spins
When four or more lollipop symbols appear on the reels, whether that’s before or after a tumble, you get 10 free spins in what’s called the Sweet Bonanza Bonus. When this is activated, you’ll get sweet bombs with random multiplier numbers ranging from 2x to 100x. If the bombs are on the reels when you win, the total win will be multiplied.
Symbols
Sweet Bonanza combines classic fruit machine symbols like plums and bananas with fruity candies, which are set against a backdrop of a landscape made of delicious looking candy.
The fruit symbols stand in for the low-value symbols, while the sweets are the high-value ones. Interestingly, the game does not have any wild symbols.
Winning combinations
In Sweet Bonanza, you get a win when eight or more of the same symbol appear on the reels. Wins are divided into 8-9 symbols, 10-11 symbols, and 12 or more symbols. Each symbol has a unique value, as follows:
Banana
The banana is the lowest-paying symbol in the game. If you get eight or nine of them, your win will be 0.5x your bet. 10 or 11 will result in a 1.5x win, and 12 or more gets you a win of 4x your bet.
Grapes
Next up is the bunch of succulent grapes. If you get eight or nine of them, your win will be 0.8x your bet. 10 or 11 will result in a 1.5x win, and 12 or more gets you a win of 4x your bet.
Watermelon
Another fruit machine staple, the watermelon gives you a win of 1x if you get eight or nine of them, 2x for 10 or 11, and a win of 10x for 12 or more.
Plum
The ripe, juicy plum will net you a win of 1.6x if you get eight or nine of them on the reels, 2.4x for 10 or 11, and a win of 16x for 12 or more.
Apple
Apples aren’t such a common symbol in fruit machines, but this one certainly makes us want to bite into it, especially since it offers a win of 2x for eight or nine, 3x for 10 or 11, and a win of 20x for 12 or more.
Blue candy
Now we get into the high-value symbols. The rectangular blue candy offers a win of 3x for eight or nine symbols, 4x for 10 or 11, and 24x for 12 or more.
Green candy
The five-sided green candy offers a win of 3x for eight or nine symbols, 4x for 10 or 11, and 24x for 12 or more.
Purple candy
The square-shaped purple candy offers a win of 5x for eight or nine symbols, 20x for 10 or 11, and 50x for 12 or more.
Red heart candy
The heart-shaped red candy is the highest-value symbol in the game. If you get eight or nine of them, your win will be 20x your bet. 10 or 11 will result in a 50x win, and 12 or more gets you the top prize of 100x your bet.
Sweet Bonanza slot summary
If Sweet Bonanza slot were actually a real bag of candy, we’d keep coming back to sneakily take another one. Even though it doesn’t have a lot of features, and no wilds, the game’s fun graphics and game mechanics make this a highly enjoyable slot.
