Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter Demo
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter Slot Review
Enjoy the sweet, sweet essence of an old favourite in Pragmatic Play’s latest instalment, Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter!
Much time has passed since the release of Sweet Bonanza, but given Pragmatic Play’s history of revamping an old flame, we were hopeful of its return. It took a little longer than expected, but the sweet smell of sugary delights is back, with the Super Scatter feature at the heart of its gooey centre.
Thanks to the release of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, players will have an inkling of what to expect during each session. Fans of the original Sweet Bonanza will be pleased to see that the colourful aesthetics and symbols have remained consistent, only with higher-quality graphics for full optimisation.
With a fixed RTP of 96.51% and a high volatility score, Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter will hit that sweet spot with 50,000x your bet up for grabs. Get ready to tantalise your taste buds…
Base Game & Features
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter is a highly volatile, 6-reel, 5-row Video Slot, utilising a Pay Anywhere mechanic. Wins are constructed when 8-12 identical symbols appear across the grid, regardless of their current positions.
As is the case with the previous Sweet Bonanza release, it’s easy to mistake the Fruit symbols as the highest-paying on the reels. However, the highest-paying symbol falls to the Red Heart, followed by purple, green, and blue shapes. Low-paying symbols are apples, plums, melons, grapes, and bananas.
Depending on the winning outcome, payouts for the aforementioned symbols fall between 0.25x and 50x your bet, where applicable. In addition, Lollipop symbols act as Scatters, appearing on all reels throughout spins.
Lastly, the Avalanche Feature allows winning combinations to disappear from the reels, causing new symbols to drop in from above. This enables players the opportunity for further winning combinations and payouts within the same spin.
Ante Bet & Bonus Buy
Players outside the UK jurisdiction can purchase one of the following Bonus Buy options:
- Free Spins: Triggers the Free Spins mode with 4 or more Scatters for 100x your bet (RTP 96.51%)
- Super Free Spins: Instant access to the Super Free Spins mode, where all Multiplier symbols carry a minimum of x20 for 500x your bet (RTP 96.51%)
Alternatively, UK players and other permissible regions can utilise the Ante Bet Feature for an additional 25% of their current bet. With this feature active, your chances of triggering the Free Spins mode are increased (RTP 96.53%)
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter has a fixed max win potential of 50,000x your bet. If a game round exceeds this, the current mode ends, and the player returns to the base game with the qualifying amount.
Super Scatters
In addition to regular Lollipop Scatters, the game reveals special Super Scatters across all reels during gameplay. When a combination of 4 Super/Lollipop Scatters lands within a spin, the Free Spins mode will activate.
Depending on how Super Scatters are part of the triggering spin, an additional Payout is awarded:
- 1 of 4 Super Scatters: Pays 100x your bet
- 2 of 4 Super Scatters: Pays 500x your bet
- 3 of 4 Super Scatters: Pays 5,000x your bet
- 4 of 4 Super Scatters: Pays 50,000x your bet
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter Free Spins
Triggering the Free Spins mode requires 4+ Super/Lollipop Scatters to land in the base game, awarding 10 Free Spins. Additionally, each Scatter after the fourth awards an extra +5 Free Spins, respectively.
During Free Spins, a series of Bomb Multipliers appear on the reels, revealing a random value between x2 and x100. When a winning combination is in the presence of a Bomb Multiplier, its value is applied to the total win amount and applied.
If more than 1 Bomb Multiplier is present, their values will add together first, before being applied to the total win for that spin. After this, the current Multiplier is removed for the next spin and is not persistent.
Super Free Spins
During the Super Free Spins mode, each Bomb Multiplier reveals a minimum value of x20. Otherwise, the mode retains the same functions and mechanics found in the standard Free Spins mode.
Our Honest Verdict
Pragmatic Play has quite a habit of taking pre-loved releases and upgrading them with nifty features or mechanics. A fine example of this is the introduction of the ‘1000’ series of games, in a spin-off to Sugar Rush, Gates of Olympus, and Starlight Princess.
Interestingly, this is not our first rodeo with the ‘Super Scatter’ feature, nor will it be our last, no doubt. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter was the first guinea pig slot to conjure up Super Scatters worth up to 50,000x your bet, but with so many iterations of this game available, was this the best move from Pragmatic Play?
Admittedly, it’s probably the best instalment of the series so far, so when we found out that Sweet Bonanza was being given a new lease of life via this feature, we were both relieved and excited.
Pragmatic Play has kept all our favourite aspects of gameplay the same, right down to aesthetics and symbols, only with the glorified addition of Super Scatters and a juicy 50,000x max win potential.
Right off the bat, you have the opportunity to win the full amount, just by landing 4 Super Scatter symbols in the base game – sounds easy, right? Well, that’s the thing…it really isn’t. In fact, it’s probably more achievable to win the full amount during a random game session, albeit both are pretty challenging.
Just like Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, players within accessible regions can play around with 2 Bonus Buy options, one being a Super Free Spins mode. In both modes, Bomb Multipliers initiate random values between x2 and x100, while the Super Free Spins mode guarantees a minimum of x20. There is, however, a huge difference in price tag between the two options.
During testing, we found the x100 Bomb Multiplier to appear frequently, but never in the company of winning combinations, it seems. Seeing the big Multipliers appear on the reels, without the addition of wins, can be quite torturous at times, but it comes with the territory, and we can’t always win them all.
All in all, it’s so nice to welcome Sweet Bonanza back into the fold, even if it doesn’t possess its own distinguishable features and mechanics that set it apart from others in Pragmatic Play’s portfolio. If the Super Scatter feature is not enough to entice you, we’re certain the 50,000x max win potential will!
