📖 Detailed Explanation
Multiplier Bombs in Sweet Bonanza are special rainbow-colored bomb symbols that appear exclusively during the Free Spins feature, carrying random multiplier values from 2x to 100x. They dramatically boost winnings by applying their values to tumble wins.
Free Spins are triggered by landing 4 or more lollipop scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, awarding 10 initial spins that can be retriggered with 3+ scatters for 5 extra spins. The game uses a cluster-pay mechanic with tumbling reels: winning clusters of 8+ matching symbols (like fruits or candies) explode and are replaced, allowing multiple wins per spin.
During Free Spins, Multiplier Bombs function as follows:
- They drop randomly on the grid alongside regular symbols, remaining in place throughout the tumble sequence.
- After all tumbles in a spin conclude (summing all cluster wins), the multipliers from all bombs present are added together to form a total multiplier.
- This total is then applied to the entire win amount from that sequence, not individual clusters.
- Multiple bombs can land in one spin—for example, a 5x and 10x would sum to 15x (not multiply to 50x, contrary to some descriptions).
- No cap exists on bomb numbers, enabling massive combined multipliers up to thousands, contributing to max wins like 21,100x-21,175x stake.
This mechanic creates high volatility and excitement, as bombs appear more frequently in Free Spins, turning ordinary tumbles into huge payouts when aligned with big clusters. Note: Sources slightly vary on summation vs. multiplication, but consensus favors addition before final application.
