Introduction to Sweet Bonanza Pop
Sweet Bonanza Pop is a casino slot from Pragmatic Play with a very familiar sugary theme. Or actually, the game is created by Pragmatic Play Pop, a studio which used to be called Fat Panda. It specializes in mobile slots, and you will soon understand why it’s the perfect studio for this release. Players of previous games in the Sweet Bonanza series will feel right at home, although the game comes with a rather interesting twist. Instead of using a bigger grid for the scatter pay system, this game is concentrated on a compact 3x5 grid, where you only need 5 matching symbols anywhere on the reels to score a win.
The setting full of candy remains as before, with bananas, grapes, plums and all sorts of colourful sweets bouncing around the reels. The real innovation lies in the Pop Symbols, which can initiate the free spins and, depending on how many there are, grant one of three fairly substantial instant jackpots. With the addition of tumbling reels and multipliers going up to 1,000x, this well-known Sweet Bonanza formula now has a new taste.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Sweet Bonanza Pop is a video slot from Pragmatic Play with 3 reels, 5 rows, and no paylines. Wins are instead made by landing 5 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. The game’s Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 250. The default RTP sits at a generous 97.05%, but the game is also released in versions of 96.58%, 95.59%, and 94.56%. The hit frequency is 30.12%, and you can expect medium volatility. Although the grid is small, you can take home a max win of 25,000x the bet.
Sweet Bonanza Pop has a colourful candyland background with pink clouds, large sweets and a pastel sky surrounding the narrow vertical game screen. The reels are neatly positioned in a standing position in the centre, looking like it’s made specifically for mobile phones, but you can also play the game on tablets and desktops. A win is achieved by getting 5 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid, after which the winning symbols vanish and are replaced by new ones. The same process can repeat several times during a single spin, keeping the action running smoothly.
The lower-paying symbols in Sweet Bonanza Pop are bananas, grapes, and plums, which pay between 2x and 6x the bet for 9 matching symbols. The higher-paying symbols are the round candy pieces, square candy pieces, and heart-shaped candy pieces, paying between 10x and 50x the bet for 9 symbols. There is no traditional Wild Symbol in the game. Instead, the Pop Symbol plays an important role alongside the Scatter Symbol, particularly when it comes to triggering the bonus and landing those big jackpot prizes.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Sweet Bonanza Pop?
You can win up to 25,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Sweet Bonanza Pop?
The features are Pop Symbols, Tumble Feature, Multiplier Symbol, and Free Spins.
Pop Symbols
It is with the Pop Symbols that things become a great deal more interesting since three Scatter or Pop Symbols anywhere on the reels will activate the Free Spins feature. If you trigger the feature with at least one Pop Symbol, you may also come across an instant jackpot.
When a Pop Symbol appears together with a combination of three triggering symbols, the 50x Spark jackpot is awarded. If two Pop Symbols show up, the jackpot is increased to 500x Snap, and if three Pop Symbols land, then the huge 25,000x Burst jackpot is won.
Tumble Feature
The Tumble Feature contributes greatly to the game's momentum. Whenever a winning combination appears, the winning symbols vanish, and the ones above them fall down to take the place of the empty spaces, after which new symbols come in from the top to provide another opportunity to win.
There’s no limit to how many tumbles you can have on a single spin. The process continues until a tumble no longer results in any winning combinations.
Multiplier Symbol
The winning tumble can become much more exciting thanks to the Multiplier Symbol. This symbol stays on the screen until the tumbling process is finished, and if you have several Multiplier Symbols, they’re added together. The multiplier can range from 2x to 1,000x.
Free Spins
The Free Spins feature is triggered when three Scatter or Pop Symbols appear anywhere on the screen, and you are given 10 free spins at the beginning. There are also methods of extending the round; landing 2 Scatter Symbols gives you 5 more spins, and 3 Scatters award 10 extra spins.
The highest possible win is limited to 25,000x the bet. Once a Free Spins round has reached this figure, the bonus comes to an end immediately, and the winnings are given.
Final Thoughts on Sweet Bonanza Pop
At a certain stage, you begin to question just how many different games it's possible to get from the Sweet Bonanza name. Pragmatic Play has apparently come up with a new solution. Sweet Bonanza Pop is very similar to anyone who has played any of the previous titles, but it still manages to look somewhat fresh in a world of repetition.
The biggest difference from the previous games is the small 3x5 grid. The developer has kept the Scatter Pay system, but instead of awarding wins for 8 matching symbols anywhere on the reels, you only need to land 5 to score a win in this version. It makes the game more concentrated, and it’s very easy to follow. You can also tell that the developers had mobile players as the first priority when the game was crafted.
This is your type of game if you want some modern features, but you don’t want to get lost among tons of symbols. The bright sweets on the 3 reels are easy to spot even when the game is displayed on a smaller screen.
The Pop Symbols are also a pleasant addition to this sweet world. They can help you trigger the Free Spins, but you will also be the winner of the generous max win of 25,000x the bet whenever 3 Pop Symbols appear at the same time. The multiplier system also works very well with the tumble feature, and we all hope to land the 1,000x multiplier, which can turn even the smallest wins into something really nice.
If you want a taste of previous games in the series, we recommend checking out the original game, Sweet Bonanza, or Pragmatic Play Pop’s Gates of Olympus POP.
