Sweet Bonanza Xmas slot summary
Sweet Bonanza Xmas slot by Pragmatic Play is exactly the same as the original version of this juvenile fruit-themed game, except there's snow covering the fruits below and cartoon landscape behind the reels. It's nearly as childish as iSoftBet's recent and awful Lost Boys Loot game and if Mothercare is the inspiration for some developers, Play'n Go's Crazy Cows and the utterly ridiculous Piggy Pirates by Red Tiger runs them both close. So will these sweets prove to be a snowy bonanza for our bankroll?
On The Reels...
We have cascading symbols here and each of the 6 reels offers 5 tiles so 30 symbols in total. You need scattered tiles of 8 or more similar to win and the winning tiles are removed for more to descend from above. You get paid for 3 levels, 8-9 or 10-11 or 12+ clusters. The 12+ clusters are 50x for Hearts, 25x Pink Square, 12x Blue Oval, 10x Apple, 8x Plum, 5x Melon, 4x Grapes and finally 2x Banana. There is a Swirly Lollipop as the scatter and that's all, no modifiers. You can raise the stake by 25% from say 1.00 to 1.25 to apparently double your chance of triggering the feature or but it for 100x bet, where allowed.
Free Spins
You need 4 or more Lollipops for 10 free games and 3 appearing in them will add 5 extra spins. Everything is the same except that now Multiplier Baubles can appear on the reels displaying anything from 2x to 100x. After each spin finishes, any 8+ scatter wins collected get multiplied by the additive amount of any Baubles collected. This means there is potential here but as the Baubles are sticky, as you collect them they reduce the chance of further scattered wins appearing. It also appears that the multiplier is limited to 100x via a single Bauble of that amount or a collection of 2 or more.
Our View...
Sweet Bonanza Xmas slot is one of the most infantile slot themes I ever saw. The base game will never produce big hits and without buying it, the feature seems to take forever to land. Even the decent 96.48-51% RTP is no reason to ever play this again. You will be fortunate to see over 200x for the free games too, which makes buying a very risky option. After 15 minutes on this slot, I felt the typical post-Christmas dinner feeling - lethargic, bored and wishing it'd all be over soon...
