In 2019, “Pragmatic Play” launched one of the first titles in what would become their popular “Sweet Bonanza” series. The original game featured a simple yet engaging format with scatter pays, multipliers, and tumble wins, quickly gaining popularity among players. Building on its success, Pragmatic Play introduced several exciting variants over time, including Sweet Bonanza 1000, Sweet Bonanza Dice, and Sweet Bonanza Xmas. Most recently, they released the latest addition to the series, “Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter”, continuing to expand and evolve the franchise.
“The Sweet Bonanza” series has kept the same theme since the beginning, with its colorful mix of candies, swirls, and sweet treats. This fun, cheerful look has helped make the game popular and easy to recognize. However, as more game developers improve their graphics and create more visually impressive slots, it might be a good time for Pragmatic Play to update the look of Sweet Bonanza.
In addition to the sweet-themed visuals, the game’s pay symbols include various fruits and candies. The lower-paying symbols are fruits such as bananas, grapes, watermelons, plums, and apples. These appear on the lower end of the pay table. On the higher end, there are four brightly colored hard candies, which offer bigger payouts.
The game uses a scatter-pay system, meaning you get paid based on the number of matching symbols anywhere on the reels, not just in specific lines. For example, landing 8 of the same symbol (8-of-a-kind or 8 OAK) can pay between 0.25x to 10x your bet, depending on which symbol it is. If you hit 12 or more matching symbols, payouts increase significantly, ranging from 2x to as much as 50x your bet.
The Super Scatter symbol can land on any reel and plays a key role in unlocking the Free Spins feature. When players hit a combination of 4 or more regular scatters and Super Scatters, the Free Spins round is activated. Additionally, landing Super Scatters alongside regular scatters can result in massive payouts. Specifically, hitting 1, 2, 3, or 4 Super Scatters in combination with 3, 3, 3, or 4+ total scatters, respectively, awards payouts of 100x, 500x, 5,000x, or an impressive 50,000x the bet.
Landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters triggers 10 free spins.
These also award an instant payout of:
• 3x the bet for 4 scatters
• 5x the bet for 5 scatters
• 100x the bet for 6 scatters
During the free spins round:
• Hitting 3 or more scatters awards +5 extra free spins.
• Multiplier symbols can appear with values ranging from x2 to x100.
• These multipliers stay on the reels until the end of the tumble sequence.
• After the tumbles finish, all multiplier values are added together.
• The total multiplier is applied to the total win of that sequence.
Super Scatter symbols do not appear during the free spins round.
Like in most of the games here, players also have the option to purchase Free Spins directly from the base game, with two available choices. The first is the standard Free Spins feature, which is triggered by 4 or more scatters and can be bought for 100x the bet.
The second option is the Super Free Spins, which cost 500x the bet and come with a key advantage: all multiplier symbols start at a minimum value of x20, offering greater win potential right from the start.
During a session of 100 spins, I wasn’t lucky enough to trigger the bonus game, which is the main goal when playing. However, I did manage to land a big win of €46 from just a €1 bet. The game stays true to its roots, with the same familiar candy-filled theme and simple, easy-to-follow gameplay. As part of a well-known and popular series, it still delivers a fun and recognisable experience.
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter doesn’t feel like a brand-new slot but rather a familiar extension of its popular predecessor. The core gameplay remains unchanged—simple mechanics with wins, multipliers, and tumble features that are easy for players to grasp. This consistency has helped the series maintain a loyal fan base over the years.
While the original Sweet Bonanza made a big impact when it launched in 2019, the series now needs to evolve to keep up with an increasingly competitive market. One of the standout features in Super Scatter is the potential for massive wins, with the best chance of reaching the impressive 50,000x max win coming from landing four Super Scatter symbols. While hitting this cap through other means is theoretically possible, it seems unlikely in practice. That said, significant wins can still be achieved without Super Scatters.
Despite its familiar formula, Sweet Bonanza continues to hold its place in the spotlight, proving that its classic, candy-coated gameplay still appeals to players just as much today as it did when it first launched.
