Bon Bon Bonanza Introduction
The game’s developers have adapted the Candy Crush-type format to a pokie screen, meaning you get nine sweets down and nine across on a grid. Forget paylines; instead, you are looking for groups of three similar sweets to land in a row anywhere on screen. The minimum bet is 0.2, while the highest paying candies are the orange and pink twirl and the green bonbon.
This is where the dynamite comes in useful. Hang on - dynamite? If you thought we were in lovely bon bon land, we are, but hey! While you might not want to eat it, the dynamite is a great wild. Combine it with two matching sweetie symbols and it blows up an entire row of sweets. When the dust settles, you have a prize worth five times your bet.
Then there is the bomb - yes, this pokie is a kind of a mash up between a pick’n’mix sweet counter and a low-level war - but it all adds interest! The bomb works ins a similar way to the dynamite when you spin two matching symbols; however, when the bomb explodes, the whole screen clears and you have a reward of ten times your total bet.
You’re super…
…and so is the bonus round. Spin three or more of the love heart sweets in a row and you are into the bonus game. You can swap sweet symbols to make winning combos, with the Mega Feature Meter topped up each time you win. Alternatively, if you have had a hard day, you can click autoplay and let the pokie do the work. When the meter is full, you can play the Wheel of Fortune.
This offers you prize multipliers, a piñata that you can hit to get showered with bonus goodies, or Pick a Win, where you can pick from three bags full of candy to get a cash reward. There is also a progressive jackpot. Every bet you make is pushing the jackpot up - get three jackpot symbols in a row, in the middle of the grid, and the progressive is yours!
The return to player (RTP) is 96.8 per cent, which is not bad. Desktop and mobile and tablet versions are all optimised for the different devices, so the game plays well however you choose to play. There is no need to download anything. If you are looking for a free pokies game that combines the graphics you are familiar with from Candy Crush with Tetris-like moves and pokie-style bonuses and wilds, Betdigital's Bon Bon Bonanza will keep you sweet.
