Sweet Bonanza Xmas

Sweet Bonanza Xmas Review

Ah, Sweet Bonanza Xmas — the festive spin-off that nobody asked for, but Pragmatic Play delivered anyway. It’s like your favorite candy shop got drunk on eggnog and vomited Christmas all over the place. But you know what? It kind of works.

A Sugar Rush with Jingle Bells On

Let’s cut to the chase — this is essentially the same Sweet Bonanza we know and love, just with a Santa hat slapped on. The 6×5 grid is still there, along with the tumbling reels and the pay-anywhere mechanic. But now, everything’s covered in a light dusting of snow, because… Christmas.

The visuals are a feast for the eyes, assuming you’re into diabetes-inducing landscapes. Candies, fruits, and lollipops dominate the reels, while snowmen made of ice cream (how does that even work?) grin at you from the background. It’s like Willy Wonka’s fever dream after binging on Christmas movies.

Gameplay: Same Sweet, Different Wrapper

If you’ve played the original Sweet Bonanza, you’ll feel right at home here. The gameplay is identical — land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels to win. The tumble feature is still the star of the show, allowing for multiple wins on a single spin.

The Free Spins round is where things get interesting. Land 4 lollipop scatters, and you’re in for a treat — 10 free spins with multiplier baubles that can boost your wins up to 100x. It’s like finding an extra present under the tree, except this one can actually make you money.

Show Me The Money, Santa

With an RTP of 96.51%, Sweet Bonanza Xmas is slightly more generous than its non-festive counterpart. The volatility is medium to high, which means you might be waiting a while for those big wins, but when they hit, they hit hard. The max win potential of 21,100x your stake is nothing to sneeze at — it’s enough to make even Scrooge crack a smile.

The Naughty List

It’s not all candy canes and gingerbread, though. The lack of a Wild symbol is a bit of a downer, and the Free Spins can be frustratingly elusive. And let’s be honest, the Christmas theme feels a bit forced. It’s like that one relative who insists on wearing a Santa hat to the family BBQ in July.

Final Verdict: A Sweet Treat, But Not a Christmas Miracle

Sweet Bonanza Xmas is a solid slot that doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but adds just enough festive flair to justify its existence. It’s perfect for those who love the original but want a bit of holiday cheer with their candy crush. Just don’t expect it to revolutionize your slot experience — it’s more of a stocking filler than the main present.

If you’re in the mood for some sugary fun with a side of jingle bells, give Sweet Bonanza Xmas a spin. Just remember to brush your teeth afterwards — all that virtual sugar can’t be good for you.
