Tasty Bonanza by Booming Games, the name says it all; a bright, sugar-filled setting built around a 6x5 grid and a pay anywhere system with cascading reels and a free spins round that adds random multipliers into the mix.
If Booming Games were aiming to give online slots players a familiar experience rather than break any new ground with Tasty Bonanza, that’s exactly what they achieved. Even those who have never played the game won’t be surprised by the visuals; a fantasy landscape made of confectionery, candyfloss, etc, and a 6x6 grid filled with little boiled sweets. The soundtrack is reminiscent of an 80’s new wave synthesiser group, and everything else, including the minimal animations, sticks to a tried and tested formula
As we mentioned, the game uses sweets of different colours and sizes for symbols, smaller ones are the low pays, and bigger are premiums.
| Symbol | Payout for 8-9, 10-11, 12+ of a kind |
|---|---|
| Upside down trapezoid sweet | 0.25, 0.75, 2.5 |
| Oval sweet | 0.4, 1, 4 |
| Square sweet | 0.5, 1.25, 5 |
| Trapezoid sweet | 0.75, 1.5, 8 |
| Rhombus sweet | 1, 2.5, 10 |
| Hexagon sweet | 1.5, 3.75, 12.5 |
| Triangle sweet | 2, 5, 15 |
| Heart sweet | 2.5, 10, 25 |
| Star sweet | 10, 37.5, 100 |
| Boiled Sweet Scatter | 2, 5, 20 |
By now a standard feature on some types of slots, this explodes all symbols involved in a win creating empty spaces which are filled by remaining symbols tumbling into them, creating their own empty spaces, filled in turn by new symbols falling from the top of the grid.
Whenever a Scatter hits the reels, it’s added to the big glass jar beside the grid, and can randomly trigger the free spins.
Landing four scatter symbols triggers 10 free spins, and this can be boosted by another 5 spins if three Scatters hit at the same time during the round.
Multipliers show up during free spins and attach to the total result from a completed cascade cycle. Values can vary widely, and when more than one multiplier lands, they combine before being applied, which can push the outcome higher depending on how the spin plays out.
Tasty Bonanza runs on a 6x5 grid with a pay anywhere system, with wins awarded based on symbol count rather than position. At least eight matching symbols are needed to create a win.
The cascading feature turns a single spin into a sequence of drops whenever matches connect.

We found Tasty Bonanza easy to settle into, mainly thanks to the straightforward grid and cluster setup. The pay anywhere system keeps things open, and the cascading feature adds a steady sense of movement.
The free spins round brings in the most variation, especially with multipliers coming into play after cascades finish. Overall, we think this is a fun game for anyone looking for familiar, easy-to-follow gameplay, but won’t appeal to novelty seekers.
