Sweet Bonanza Xmas review

Theme and Storyline

Sweet Bonanza Xmas has a candy and fruit theme with a festive twist.

Players will awaken in a fantasy world full of colorful confections and fresh produce. In this holiday-friendly land, each treat is lightly dusted with snow.

This slot is a good fit for players who love sweet themes and fruit machines, as well as those feeling ready for some Christmassy cheer. Fans of the original Sweet Bonanza slot will also likely enjoy this special addition.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is filled with bells and angelic vocalizations that give Sweet Bonanza Xmas a serene atmosphere. Subtle sleigh bells and distant sounds of Santa laughing create that holiday spirit in the player. The reels spin with a flickering sound that brings to mind bird wings, and cheerful chimes celebrate wins.

On reels, players will find an array of translucent hard candies in bright shades of blue, green, and pink. The red heart-shaped sweets are especially adorable, and swirled lollipops also make an appearance.

The fruit symbols include watermelons, plums, apples, bananas, and grapes. Each one is animated in an appealing cartoon style that makes them look just a bit more vivid than produce in the real world.

Beyond the reels, a magical world of snow and candy can be seen. The landscape is strewn with sweets and ice cream, while giant snowmen smile in the distance. With candy adorning the snowmen, they bring to mind holiday gingerbread men.

Overall, the music and graphics of Sweet Bonanza Xmas create an enchanting dreamworld.

Gameplay

Sweet Bonanza Xmas is a six reel, five row slot.

Players are awarded wins for landing predetermined numbers of matching symbols anywhere on the reels.

The Cascade feature means that symbols in winning combinations will be paid out and then vanish. This allows new symbols to fall in to replace them.

Players can choose the Ante Bet option, which multiplies their bet by 25% and increases the odds of landing Scatter symbols.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

There is no Wild symbol in Sweet Bonanza Xmas.

Players trigger the Free Spins feature when they land at least 4 Scatter symbols, or when they choose to buy into the feature. The feature is played with special reels.

Players begin the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins, but can be awarded 5 additional free spins if they land at least 3 Scatters while in the feature.

During the Free Spins feature, the Multiplier symbol can appear. Whenever this symbol lands, it stays on the reels for the duration of all Cascades. After the Cascade sequence has concluded, all Multiplier symbol values are added together before being applied to players’ winnings.

If players wish to skip the preamble, they can also buy directly into the bonus feature.
