We sincerely doubt that you will ever be able to experience a sweeter Christmas.
Released in late November 2019, Sweet Bonanza Xmas is the Christmas-style remake of a slot brought by Pragmatic Play earlier this year.
If you have played original Sweet Bonanza, you are familiar with the basics of this slot as well.
Practically, we are talking about an almost identical game…
….with a different dressing.
Playable across mobile devices too, you will be able to taste great finishing details and some unique features which are the main highlights of this provider’s work.
It is clear that their primary release has brought them much success since they have decided to bring out a Christmas edition.
But just in case, let’s check it out together!
Theme
Sweet Bonanza is exactly what you could expect from a festive-themed title. You will notice snowy background, highly detailed candy covered with snow, snowmen…
…and we must admit that the graphics department’s level of dedication is just amazing.
A pretty simple jingle-style soundtrack will keep you entertained and in the holiday mood.
Symbol wise we have all kinds of fruits covered in snow, starting with bananas, grapes, melons, peaches, and apples. These are the symbols of the lower value.
The list goes on with blue, green, purple and red heart-shaped candy which is the most lucrative of all the regular symbols and it will award 100 coins for 12 or more of a kind landed.
The swirly lollipop is the scatter, while the golden Christmas tree decoration is the multiplier symbol.
Betting Options
Before we spin the sweetest reels we have ever seen, we will need to set our bet first.
The betting range starts at 0.20 coins and goes all the way up to 100 coins per strike.
And this is great because
Both low-rollers and high-rollers will be able to find something for themselves.
The maximum win is set on 21.100x bet which is outstanding even for the titles with the biggest winning potential out there.
Considering everything mentioned and the theoretical return to player (RTP) set on 96.51, which is not bad by any means, this slot keeps the medium volatility.
With the autoplay where you can set up to 100 auto spins, and possibility to turn turbo and quick spin, this title will allow you to adjust the speed of the reel rotation according to personal preferences.
Features
Ante Bet
You will have the option to choose the bet multiplier:
- 20x bet – you will be able to purchase a Free Spins round by paying value equal 100x bet;
- 25x bet – the chance of winning Free Spin round will be doubled and more scatter symbols will be available on the reels;
Tumble
After any winning combination is paid, all of the winning symbols will disappear from the grid. Remaining symbols will hit the bottom of the screen and new ones will come into their places.
And this is great, because…
…you can earn some extra wins for the price of one spin.
Free Spins
If you land 4 or more lollipop scatter symbols anywhere on the grid, you will trigger this feature and you will be awarded 10 initial free spins.
For the duration of initial free spins, you can land 3 or more additional scatter and get 5 extra free spins.
Also, in this phase of the game, there will be a multiplier symbol present on the grid and it will bring random multiplier in the range from 2x to 100x bet.
In a Nutshell
The tasty maximum win, decent RTP, stunning graphics solutions and interesting features highlight Sweet Bonanza Xmas by Pragmatic Play.
If you liked the original Sweet Bonanza and you are in the Christmas mood, this one is undoubtedly the best choice for you.
Also, feel free to check out other reviews from Pragmatic Play releases as Irish Charms or Hot Chilli.

I'm going to go and agree with everybody else on this one definitely not nearly as good as the original sweep Bonanza or sweet Bonanza 1000 or sweet potato super scattered it's the worst of the series of this game by far.

So you may be lucky and win a big prize or lose a lot. It is highly possible. For me, I currently choose to play Sweet Bonanza 1000x instead. At least the normal spins that do not buy bonuses may win big prizes. In an unexpected way, some people may like different things. For me, it's normal. I mostly see streamers show big prizes. Personally, I have never been hit with a big prize, so I feel indifferent.

Horrible and not at all worth playing. None of the candy or bonanza candy crush slots. None of them ever pay so why play. I sunk 1600 into one of these slots one day 5 dollar spins and you want to know the rtp? Less then 3% with no bonus won. Horrible!

I lost about $30 on Sweet Bonanza Xmas. I was doing spins at 40 cents each, hoping the holiday spirit would bring some luck. Despite the festive music and snowy treats, my wallet felt the chill too. The game's cheerful, but my luck was more like getting coal in my stocking.

I love candy themed games. This one plays just like the original as far as I could tell so there's nothing really different except for the graphics as far as I could see. But definitely a fun game and especially if you like candy themes I like candy things because they just kind of cheer me up

The game takes a lot of time to bonus and it is hard to get massive profit out of it. You can get retriggers when you get 3 lollipops, but retriggers are mostly leading to dead spins. To get the bonus, you also need 4 lollipops.

This game is very boring, I prefer its first version this game takes too long for the 10 free spins to appear so it has the option to buy free spins and even that I have used it multiple times in pragmatic tournaments with the purchase option and I have obtained very low balances. I definitely don't like it.
