This is possibly the sweetest and one of the most successful games in the world, brought to you by the giants of sublime slots at Pragmatic Play. The developers have come up with a world that’s made entirely of sweets, gummies, fruits and lollipops, and landing the right combinations will land you equally sweet wins.
About Sweet Bonanza
The 6x5 grid looks so good, you’re going to have to see your dentist after a few spins. The Sweet Bonanza online slot is nestled on a cloud of cotton candy as you float away to the cheerful sounds of its cutesy soundtrack. It’s like being immersed in a Katy Perry music video.
Thanks to its immense success as an online slot, some players might be aware that Sweet Bonanza has been given a live-action game upgrade, along with other sequels and seasonal editions. These all come with a variety of special features, such as free spins and optional side bets. Like many Pragmatic Play games, Sweet Bonanza comes with a high maximum payout of 21,175x on a single spin.
Symbols and payouts in Sweet Bonanza
The developers have gone for a sweet theme in this title. There are nine standard symbols of low value in the game, all represented by colourful fruit. High-paying symbols are represented by hard candies of different colours, with the red and purple ones holding the highest values. If you land 12 or more purple candies next to each other, you’ll get a delectable payout of 25x, while the same amount of red candies gets you 50x.
In addition to serving as the game’s scatter symbol, the lollipop provides its own payouts. If you land four, five, or six scatters, they will deal out prizes that are 3x, 5x, or 100x your bet respectively. Oddly enough, Sweet Bonanza doesn’t have a wild symbol in its game – they must be on a diet!
Sweet Bonanza Bonus Features and Free Spins
Tumble Feature
Sweet Bonanza is one of those rare online slots that doesn’t come with paylines. Instead, it’s all about landing a minimum of eight identical symbols next to each other in either direction to form a winning combination. Once you have a winning combination, you’ll instantly receive your cash prize, and then the combination will disappear to make room for more symbols to tumble down into the vacant spaces on the grid.
If the subsequent symbols create more winning combinations, these will also be paid out to you before making room for even more. The Tumble Feature can only be terminated if there are no more winning combinations or if you land the slot’s top prize of 21,175x.
Free Spins
To trigger the Free Spins bonus, you must land four or more scatter symbols on the reels during the base game. These are represented by giant pink lollipops. You’ll start the bonus with 10 free spins if you land four scatter symbols, or 15 if you land five scatter symbols. The more scatters you land, the more free spins you’ll be awarded. In addition, you can collect five more bonus spins during your free spins if you land three or more scatters.
The Sweet Bonanza Free Spins Bonus round is essentially the same as the base game, but an additional feature is thrown into the mix. The Multiplier symbol is represented by a brightly coloured bauble that applies a random multiplier to any winning combination on the same grid. The multiplier values can range from 2x to 100x. At the end of each free spin, the values of the multiplier symbols are added together. This total is then applied to the winning combinations landed during that spin.
Buy Feature
The slot industry has determined that some players are impatient when it comes to landing bonuses, so they’ve come up with a way to trigger bonus rounds instantly. Sweet Bonanza offers the Buy Feature, along with another way to increase the likelihood of free spins.
In the top left corner of the interface, you’ll find the orange “Buy Feature” button. This will activate the Free Spins Feature. Players will receive 10 free spins, which will start as if they had been triggered at random. This will set you back 100x your stake.
If an outright purchase isn’t what you’re after, you can opt for something called an Ante Bet. This is an optional side bet that doubles your chances of triggering the free spins round, but there’s still no guarantee. The Ante Bet will cost you 0.25x your stake.
Sweet Bonanza summary
