Sweet Bonanza Xmas
A festive reskin of the original with identical maths — the same RTP, bombs and 21,100x ceiling.
What changed
Nothing mathematically. Released in December 2019, six months after the original, Xmas is a seasonal reskin: candy canes, snow, sleigh bells on the soundtrack. RTP remains 96.48%, the maximum win remains 21,100x, and bombs still top out at 100x.
Why it still gets played year-round
Because it is the same game, some players simply prefer the presentation. There is no advantage or disadvantage in choosing it — anyone claiming Xmas "pays better" is describing variance, not mathematics.
One genuine practical note: because it is less prominently placed in most lobbies, operators occasionally leave a different RTP build in place than they run on the main title. Worth a glance at the info panel.
