Sweet Bonanza Slot Review

We got a sugar rush of excitement when we found out we were reviewing the Sweet Bonanza slot, as this Pragmatic Play slot inspired the famous Sweet Bonanza Candyland live casino game. The slot provides players with many sweet benefits, including a chance to win $2,625,000 and a free spins bonus that can extend forever.

So, is Sweet Bonanza a treat beyond your wildest dreams, or will it just leave you with rotting teeth? Follow our team into Candyland to find out.

How to play Sweet Bonanza

Set on a background of cakes, frosting, and other confectionery treats, Sweet Bonanza instantly immersed us in its Candyland theme. The graphics are very sharp, with a fun soundtrack that keeps you entertained.

As you’d expect, the high-paying symbols at Sweet Bonanza depict a range of candies, from Red Hearts to Purple Squares. Some symbols didn’t work for us - what Banana, Apple, Watermelon, and Plum symbols have to do with candy is beyond us. However, the game’s graphics mean everything has an appealing shine that will make your mouth water. 

Sweet Bonanza is a 6x5 game that uses the unique payline system compared to other popular slots: the All Ways system. Your symbols don’t need to fall into a particular shape for you to receive a payout. You'll get a win if there are 8 or more of one symbol on screen.

Sweet Bonanza also has Tumbling Reels, so once you win, your winning symbols will disappear, and new symbols will fall from the top of the screen. There is no limit on how many times you can trigger Tumbling Reels, so you can stack up big wins from just one spin.

The betting limits at Sweet Bonanza are versatile, allowing you to stake between $0.20 and $125 per spin. The medium to high volatility makes it perfect for high rollers looking for a big win, especially those willing to risk more to trigger the Free Spins Bonus and win a top real money prize of $2,625,000. 

Sweet Bonanza jackpots and bonuses

You can trigger the Free Spins Bonus in Sweet Bonanza online by landing 4, 5, or 6 Lollipop Scatter symbols. However many you land, you’ll get 10 free spins, with a 3x, 5x5, or 10x multiplier, depending on how many scatters you have. 

The free spins give you chances to win massive payouts thanks to the multiplier, and those wins can get a sugar rush if you hit the Rainbow Bomb multiplier. Any time a Rainbow Bomb symbol drops into your grid, a random multiplier number will be assigned to the symbol.

Once the Tumbling Reels finishes on your spin, all your multipliers are combined and applied to your winnings. This will allow players to score huge wins with one lucky spin.

You can also keep the sugar high going, as if you land any scatter symbols during your bonus game, you’ll receive more free spins. There are no limits on how many additional free spins you can get, so your bonus round can go on and on.

The Free Spins Bonus is certainly one of the sweetest parts of playing Sweet Bonanza, and you can double your chances of triggering the feature with the option by staking more money. 

Sweet Bonanza mobile options

On desktop, Sweet Bonanza uses your whole screen to immerse you in Candyland, so our review team was worried some of its charm would be lost as a mobile slot. The horizontal version of the game on mobile browsers and apps is challenging, as buttons can be too small depending on your device size. However, the vertical version of the slot fully uses its HTML5 technology and fits seamlessly on any device. 

Conclusion

The Sweet Bonanza slot has plenty of sugar, spice, and everything nice. The Free Spins feature with its Rainbow Bomb multipliers will be the main draw, especially as you can double your chances of triggering the bonus with a little extra stake. High rollers will roll up to test the medium-high variance for a chance to win a maximum of $2,625,000. The base game with Tumbling Reels and an RTP, which varies between 96.48% and 96.51%, still appeals to budget players.

Sweet Bonanza has some cavities, such as its awkward bet system, which makes it tricky to switch between low and high bets. The mobile platform also doesn’t work perfectly when played horizontally. However, these imperfections didn’t detract from our sweet-as-pie experience at Sweet Bonanza.
