Sweet Bonanza

If you’ve got a sweet tooth you’re trying to conquer, you might want to give this game, and even this review, a miss. Sweet Bonanza by Pragmatic Play transports us into a world where Willy Wonka would feel right at home. Delicious fruit and sweets spin on reels set against a dream landscape of mouth-watering edible goodies like candy floss clouds and ice-cream cone mountains.

Sweet Bonanza has 6 reels and 5 rows. Instead of traditional paylines, the game utilises the Win all Ways mechanic, meaning eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels will give a win. 

One of the many attractive features in the design of this online slot game is the fact that the reels don't spin. Instead, the symbols tumble unto them to hopefully form winning combinations. When this happens, the game's cascading reels mechanism kicks in, and all symbols used to form a winning combination explode. The remaining symbols on the reels cascade down to fill the spaces, and new ones appear in their place. 

This mechanism means that you can quite often get several wins in a row. It's not surprising then that this is a medium volatility game. And with a maximum possible win of a mind-blowing 21,100 x your stake once you get into the Free Spins, things can get very sweet indeed if it's your lucky day.

The reels are surrounded by red and white striped sticks of rock. Symbols are fruit and candy. The fruit are the lower value symbols, and you'll see apples, bunches of grapes, bananas, plums and watermelons. The premium symbols are blue, green, purple and red sweets of various shapes. The red, which is heart-shaped, of course, is the most valuable and can win you up to 50 x your bet. 

The game doesn't have a Wild symbol, and this can be put down to the fact that the players don't need help to complete a payline since it's a Win All Ways online casino game. 

There is a Scatter, of course, and this is the lollipop symbol. Flour or more of these will unlock 10 Free Spins, but the more you land, the better it becomes, as they also give multipliers of 2x, 4x or 80x your stake for four, five or six scatter symbols, respectively.

Another symbol that will sweeten up your game even more, is the Candy Bomb. These can land anywhere on the reels, and when they do, they'll award a multiplier of up to 100 x your stake. And again, it's a case of the more, the merrier as the multipliers from all Candy Bombs visible on the reels are added together, and the final figure is applied to your win.  

The Candy Bombs are what give you the chance to win some big prizes in Sweet Bonanza. But to be able to take advantage of the increasing multipliers, you’ll have to trigger the Free Spins round. This is done by landing four or more of the lolli[pop Scatter. For these, you’ll get 10 Free Spins plus a multiplier that depends on how many Scatters you land.  

In the Free Spins, the Cascading Reels feature still works, and Candy Bombs appear on the reels awarding multipliers. Landing three more scatters will win you an extra three Free Spins. 

If you can't wait to win your way into the Free Spins round, you can always buy your way in, although this will cost you 100 x your stake.

Sweet Bonanza is a sticky delight of a game which is sure to raise your adrenalin levels, if not your glucose ones. The visuals are almost overwhelmingly sweet and get sweeter still as you watch winning symbols explode off the reels and new symbols tumbling down to create other wins. And if you have a few Candy Bomb multipliers in view as well, the excitement can reach fever pitch.
