Sweet Bonanza Demo & Review

Sweet Bonanza review

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.

Unlike Gates, multipliers in Sweet Bonanza do not persist across the bonus – each tumble sequence is assessed on its own. That makes individual spins in the bonus more exciting and the round as a whole a little less predictable. The 21,175x max win is far higher than the original Gates.

Sweet Bonanza RTP, volatility and max win

RTP: the default return to player is 96.48%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 96.5 units for every 100 wagered. It is also offered at 95.51%, 94.50% – a casino running the lowest version keeps noticeably more of every bet. How RTP works.

Volatility: Sweet Bonanza is a high volatility slot: expect longer stretches between meaningful wins and larger swings in your balance than on a medium-volatility game. The bonus round carries much of the game's value. Volatility explained.

Max win: the maximum payout is 21,175x the stake. What max win really means.

Pros
