Sweet Bonanza in brief
Sweet Bonanza introduced the pay-anywhere tumble format years before Gates of Olympus made it ubiquitous, and it still plays well. The candy presentation is bright and light, but the math is not: the base game pays mostly fruit and small tumbles, and nearly all of the real potential sits in the free spins.
Sugar Rush in brief
Sugar Rush swaps the pay-anywhere model for cluster pays on a 7x7 grid and adds a clever spot-multiplier system. Each win leaves a mark on the grid, and repeat wins on the same spot double a multiplier all the way to 128x. In the base game the marks reset after each spin; in free spins they persist, so a well-covered grid late in the bonus is where big results come from. It's one of the more satisfying Pragmatic engines to watch build up.
Features compared
Sweet Bonanza
- Tumble: Wins are removed and replaced from above until no new wins form.
- Free spins with bombs: 4+ lollipop scatters award 10 free spins. Rainbow bomb multipliers (2x–100x) land only during free spins and are added together at the end of each tumble sequence.
- Ante bet: Raises the stake by 25% to increase scatter frequency.
Sugar Rush
- Multiplier spots: When a winning symbol explodes its grid position is marked; a second win on the same spot starts a multiplier that doubles each time, up to 128x.
- Free spins: 3–7 scatters award 10–30 free spins, and marked spots and multipliers stay on the grid for the whole round.
