Sweet Bonanza XMas Slot Machine - Play Sweet Bonanza XMas Slot Free

Introduction 

Sweet Bonanza Xmas is a fun and festive online slot that you can enjoy all year round. This slot doesn’t require winning combinations to appear on paylines: there are no paylines. Instead, you will need to land a set number of symbols anywhere on the reels at the same time to win.

There are 10 symbols altogether: 5 candies, 5 fruits, and 1 scatter symbol. The candies are of different shapes and colors and include red heart, pink square, green pentagon and blue diamond shaped candies. Fruits include apples, cherries, melons, grapes, and bananas.

The scatter symbol is a lollipop, and it’s this symbol that gives access to the potentially lucrative free spins round where players are in with the chance of maybe grabbing some decent prizes.

For players that want to experiment with it, there is also a feature available in the base game called Ante Bet. Effectively, what this does is increase your bet multiplier by 25% as well as your chances of landing lollipop scatters.

Additionally, this slot game is played using the tumble feature. What this means is that after a spin of the reels, any winning symbols are removed, and the remaining symbols tumble down, leaving space at the top for new symbols to tumble in from above. The tumble effect only stops when any resulting wins stop occurring.

If you think you might like to play at an online casino at some point, then you could play the demo game above first to see how you like it.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

The festive theme of Sweet Bonanza Xmas mixes a cartoonish Christmas Wonderland with a candy theme, complete with cute snowmen and sweet treats such as different shaped candies, lollipops and delicious ice-cream. A nice amount of animation adds to the theme, such as the softly falling snowflakes. 

However, it’s somewhat worrying that this slot is highly likely to appeal to young children. The lure of yummy sweeties and a cute Christmas scene would be rather tempting.

The soundtrack is a suitably Christmassy melody, with jingling bells and the occasional ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’ to be heard in the background. This complements the game well and doesn’t prove too distracting during play.

Sweet Bonanza Xmas RTP and Variance 

 The theoretical return to player of Sweet Bonanza Xmas is between 96.48% and 96.51% RTP. This slot is of medium variance, offering a mixture of higher and lower potential payouts with medium frequency.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The minimum bet level in Sweet Bonanza Xmas is 0.20 and the maximum bet level is 125.00, which gives a nice amount of scope for players to choose a level that’s suitable for them.

The game’s paytable will show exactly how many of each symbol you’d need to get to win certain prize amounts, but the top paying ones (based on placing the maximum wager) are:

10,000 on scatter lollipops

5,000 on red heart candies

2,500 on pink square candies

As there are no paylines, wins are dependent on the number of symbols that land and not on where they land. The number of each symbol needed to get a payout varies from between 4 and 12, but the paytable will tell you more.

Max-win 21,175x

Volatility Medium to High Volatility

Top RTP 96.49%

Sweet Bonanza Xmas Free Spins Bonus 

Initially, you will be awarded 10 free spins if you land 4 or more lollipop scatter symbols anywhere on the board. If you were to land 3 or more further lollipop scatters during the bonus games, you’d be awarded 5 additional free spins.

Played on a different set of reels, the fun of the free spins round is increased by the appearance of the golden multiplier bauble. Exclusive to the free spins game, the golden bauble will randomly appear with a multiplier value between 2x and 100x. They’re all added together and at the end, a total multiplier value will be applied to any win.

Overall Sweet Bonanza Xmas Review 

We really enjoyed playing Sweet Bonanza Xmas. It’s a great example of the Pragmatic Play demo slots and we thought that the graphics were very well done. However, we did find the slot’s potential appeal to young children a little disturbing though.

The base game benefitted from a couple of features that livened it up. The ante bet and tumble features gave the experience new elements, and it was a nice change from the same traditional slot experience. We particularly liked the golden bauble multipliers that appeared during the free spins.
The game rules felt simple enough to follow and the variance wasn’t too high. Because of this, we felt that it’d be an ideal slot for beginners. If you’re looking for a slot with paylines, try Pragmatic Play's Sweet Bonanza slot or another slot with free spins.
