Sweet Bonanza Xmas is Pragmatic’s seasonal skin on the candy tumble formula: a 6×5 pay-anywhere grid, cascading wins, and free-spins multiplier bombs — dressed in holiday art instead of the year-round fruit/candy presentation.
Catalog math matches base Sweet Bonanza: high volatility, a 21,100× max-win class, and a preferred ~96.48% RTP band (reduced builds possible). Xmas does not raise the ceiling; it is a presentation switch for seasonal lobbies.
Confirm you loaded Xmas versus base or Dice, verify the cash RTP panel, and only move to Sweet Bonanza 1000 / Super Scatter when you want the sharper 25,000× class.

How Sweet Bonanza Xmas Works
01Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid pay, then tumble for chain evaluations in the same paid spin — same loop as base Sweet Bonanza.
02Enough scatters start free spins where multiplier bombs can land. Bombs in one tumble sequence add together and multiply that sequence’s win.
03There is no Olympus-style running meter across every free spin. Each tumble resolves its own bomb total; seasonal symbol names do not change that math.
04Ante bet / bonus buy (where offered) shorten feature waits at higher cost. The 21,100× ceiling matches base / Dice — treat it as a cap, not a session plan.
Key Features
Seasonal candy tumble
Holiday reskin of the base Sweet Bonanza bomb loop. Pick it for festive art, not for a different max-win class.
Free-spins bombs
Multiplier bombs stack inside tumble sequences during the feature — still the main path to larger totals.
21,100× ceiling
Matches base Sweet Bonanza and Dice in our catalog. Move to 1000 / Super Scatter only for the 25,000× band.
Ante / bonus buy
Optional faster feature access where allowed. Confirm regional rules — buys do not soften high volatility.
Pragmatic ships multiple RTP configs for Sweet Bonanza editions. Prefer ~96.48% on the info panel; reduced ~95.45% / ~94.50% builds appear at some operators.
