Tumble, Scatter and Free Spin your way to success

If you’ve got a sweet tooth and like bright and colourful slots then the Sweet Bonanza slot machine from Pragamatic Play might just tick all your boxes.

Set on a 6×5 grid the game comes full of brightly coloured fruits and sweets that fall down from above on a spin.

At heart it’s a simple grid slot, but hides a few great features that could turn this from an ok to play to a must play game.

Scatter pays create more wins

Unlike other grid slots like the Play’n GO Viking Runecraft game where in order to create a winning combination of symbols the same symbols need to be touching horizontally or vertically.

Here, Pragmatic Play have given you what are called scatter pays, which basically means if the right number of symbols show up ‘anywhere’ on the screen they will payout.

They don’t have to be touching, they just have to be on screen at the same time.

It makes for some quick win combinations especially for a medium to high variance game.

Tumbling reels add even more to the game

Add the fact that just like other grid slots you get tumbling reels or cascading wins, where the symbols that make a win explode and more drop down from above means that there’s more opportunities to create winning combinations.

The only downside to the scatter pays and tumbling reels as Pragmatic Play like to call them is that to get any decent sums you have to find quite a few symbols on screen.

This means wins in the base game are more likely to be less than your bet to just over your bet even with a few tumbles.

But maybe there’s hope for redemption in the free spins as this game boasts up to 21,000x your bet wins, apparently.

Free Spins with multiplier bombs

Ok, so the base game might not get you any huge wins, but hit the free spins round and you might just be sweetly surprised by what’s on offer here.

Find 4 of the big lollipop scatter symbols in the base game and you’ll trigger 10 free spins.

These free spins though work just like the base game, with all the symbols paying like scatter and those tumbling wins.

The only difference is that if on a win you have a multi coloured multiplier bomb on screen then your win will be multiplied by that value.

Find more than one thanks to the cascading wins you get and they add up creating some huge win potential.

Not only that but find 3 or more of the scatters during the Sweet Bonanza free spins bonus round and you’ll get 5 additional free spins.

Which has helped us get some decent over 170x our bet wins.

The only downside is that it can take quite a few base game spins to trigger them. But there’s one way in which you can try and trigger them quicker.

Ante Bet or buy Feature

In fact there are two ways you can trigger the free spins quicker. The first is to buy the feature straight out for one set fee which is clearly indicated to the left of the reels.

Something we wouldn’t recommend you do unless you have plenty of disposable cash to splash.

The second is using the Ante Bet feature which doubles your chance of winning the free spins feature by adding more scatter symbols to the reels.

This adds an extra cost to your spins but has the potential to pay back if you trigger the free spins early and get lucky.

Review Conclusion: The Sweet Bonanza online slot

The theme might not be original, we’ve seen many sweet themed games in the past like Play’n GO’s Sweet 27 for example.

However, where this Sweet Bonanza mobile slot and online game differs is via it’s use of scatter pays for all symbols.

It adds a little excitement to the base game even if the wins aren’t that huge. But where this casino slot truly comes alive is in the free spins.

Those multiplier bombs offer some huge reward potential that can put a smile on even the grumpiest of slots players.

With a 0.20 min bet without ante and up to 125 max bet with, plus varying RTP whether you play with the extra bet or not offers the chance to vary up your slot strategy and hope some wins sticks to your wallet.

Overall it’s a good looking game, with some great mechanics, that offers the slightly risker player the chance for some riskier payouts.

Go give it a spin for yourself and see if this Sweet Bonanza slot game is worth a few real money spins at our recommended Pragmatic Play casinos.
