Sweet Bonanza Xmas Demo Review
Sweet Bonanza Xmas is the Christmas edition of Sweet Bonanza, one of the best known slots by Pragmatic Play. The familiar candies and fruits are frosted with snow and a snowman watches the grid, while the gameplay stays the same: pay anywhere wins, tumbles and multiplier bombs in free spins. The game lists low volatility, an RTP of 96.48% to 96.6% and a top win of over 21,100x the bet. Bets range from $0.20 to $300 per spin.
Pay Anywhere Wins on a 6×5 Grid
There are no paylines. Eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the screen make a win. Winning symbols explode and new ones tumble in from above, and tumbles continue as long as new wins form. All wins from one spin are added up after the last tumble.
Sweet Bonanza Xmas Symbols and Payouts
The table shows what each symbol pays at a $1 bet, grouped by how many of the same symbol land anywhere on the screen. The red heart is the top symbol, and the banana pays the least.

Free Spins with Multiplier Bombs
Four or more lollipop Scatters anywhere award 10 free spins, and 3 or more Scatters during the round add 5 more. The round brings the multiplier bombs, which appear only in free spins. Each bomb takes a value from 2x up to 100x and stays on the screen until the tumble sequence ends. Then the values of all bombs on screen are added together and the total win of the sequence is multiplied by that sum.
Unlike in newer games like Gates of Olympus, the multipliers do not carry over from spin to spin, so every spin starts fresh.
Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins
The Ante Bet raises the bet by 25% and doubles the chance of free spins, but switches off the buy feature. Without it, the free spins can be bought for 100x the bet.
Who Should Try Sweet Bonanza Xmas
This is a good first Christmas slot for players who like frequent action. Low volatility means smaller wins land more often, and tumbles keep spins lively even without a bonus. The free spins bring the bigger moments with bombs of up to 100x.
