Gameplay & Design
Sweet Bonanza is a regular pokie for the right things and special in every other aspect. So, to play you hit the spin button and you use the “+” and “-“ to set your bet size. Other convenient buttons allow players to open the paytable (i), enable/disable sound (sound icon), or activate autoplay.
We already mention the pay anywhere feature and lack of paylines, but what does that mean? Well, to win a prize, you need to land 8+ identical symbols on the reels. It doesn’t matter if they’re connected or not, hence the pay anywhere term.
Now that we’ve been through the standard things, let’s learn more about the regular symbols of the top online pokie game. First, let us give Pragmatic Play praise for including themed symbols only; they really make all the difference. You’ll see various candy shapes and some fruits.
The candies (red, purple, green, and blue) are the top-paying icons and pay for 8+ identical icons. The prizes go from 1.5x-10x your bet in the lowest ranges and 12x-50x your bet in the highest ranges. As for the low-paying fruits (apple, plum, watermelon, grapes, and banana), expect modest payouts between 0.25x and 10x.
Interestingly, Sweet Bonanza doesn’t have a wild symbol. We would usually complain about this, but not when Sweet Bonanza is in question. All the other cool features more than make up for this drawback.
And before we move on to the bonus rounds of the game, we want to mention the awesome Turbo Spin option. You activate it by holding the spacebar on your keyboard. It will speed up the spins and the gameplay in general. It’s a great feature for those who want fast-paced action but also a bit more control than what autoplay provides.
