Sweet Bonanza Xmas

The sensational Sweet Bonanza game makes a return; however, this time, it comes with a festive spin! Players are greeted with a snowy wonderland featuring Christmas trees, snowmen, and an assortment of sweet treats. It's important to note that a cascading symbol mechanic is also present in the Sweet Bonanza Xmas online slot game, meaning that matching combinations will be removed from play so that additional icons can drop in from the top. Symbols do not have to land in clusters either, as eight or more of the same icons simply need to appear in any position on the board! 

Sweet Bonanza Xmas was created by Pragmatic Play, one of the most popular providers in the realm of online slots. Their portfolio is vast and includes the likes of Sugar Rush, Cash Patrol, and Spirit of Adventure. Of course, Pragmatic Play also released the original Sweet Bonanza, which remains the favourite game of many punters. 

All of the symbols in Sweet Bonanza Xmas revolve around sweets and fruits. The least desirable symbols are a banana, a bunch of grapes, a watermelon, a plum, and an apple. Next up are the premium icons, shown as blue, green, purple, and red gummy sweets. Should 12 or more of these appear during the same spin, players will be awarded with 12x, 15x, 25x, or 50x their total stake size, in that order. 

While there is no wild symbol in Sweet Bonanza Xmas, there are two other special icons to discuss. First up is a bomb symbol, which acts as a win multiplier. The other special symbol is a scatter symbol, shown as a pink and red lollipop. It's this icon that can be responsible for triggering the bonus mode! 

The first bonus feature in Sweet Bonanza Xmas is the aforementioned bomb symbols. When these appear in view, any potential winnings for the spin will be multiplied by the value shown. Bombs can show a minimum of 2x, all the way up to 100x. When all tumbles have concluded, these will explode before their effect is applied. 

Should four or more lollipop scatter icons appear simultaneously, players will be taken to the bonus mode, starting with a total of 10 free spins. They will also be awarded with 3x, 5x, or 100x their stake size, depending on whether 4, 5, or 6 scatter icons drop into view. This round plays in a similar way to the base game, with bomb multiplier symbols remaining active throughout. It's also possible to retrigger this bonus mode, with three or more scatter symbols awarding another five free spins. 

Now, there is also an ante bet in Sweet Bonanza Xmas, which can be turned on or off manually by players. If this is turned on, the current bet size will be increased by 0.25x. However, the chance of landing four or more lollipop scatter icons will be doubled. 

Sweet Bonanza Xmas doesn't offer any additional features when compared to the original. However, the festive theme offers a refreshing appearance. Bomb multipliers remain in place, as does the popular bonus mode. The final aspect that remains consistent is the minimum bet size, sitting at 0.20 per spin!
