Sweet Craze Slot by Pragmatic Play

Chest symbols are the entire engine here. Land a cluster of 5+ matching candies, and the grid tumbles - standard stuff. But when a Chest lands during an active tumble sequence, it cracks open into a Money symbol stamped with a random value between 2x and 500x your bet. That Money symbol stays put for the rest of the sequence, and its value ticks up by 1x with each new tumble. For 100x, you can skip straight to free spins, or pay 500x for a Super round where every Money symbol starts at a minimum 10x. Both options are a bet on whether enough Chests show up during the bonus to build anything meaningful.

Free spins change one rule that changes everything. In the base game, Money symbols only survive within a single tumble chain. During the bonus (10 to 16 spins depending on scatter count, retriggerable with 3+ scatters), they persist across the entire round. A Money symbol created on spin 2 sits on the grid through spin 14, gaining 1x every time any tumble fires on any spin. By the end of a long bonus, the grid can be dotted with Money symbols that started at 5x and climbed past 20x - all of them cashed out together when the round finishes. The series connection to Sweet Bonanza is mostly cosmetic. Pastel pinks, candy mountains in the background, glossy lollipop symbols. But Sweet Bonanza is scatter-pay on a 6x5 grid. This is cluster pays on a 7x7 field with a money-collection layer bolted on top. Different math, different pacing.

Three bet modes split the game into what are practically separate products. Normal runs at base stake. Ante Bet doubles your wager and makes free spins trigger roughly 5x more often, though wins still pay based on the original bet amount. Super Spin is the strangest option - 200x per spin, a guaranteed Chest every single spin, but free spins are completely disabled. You get constant Money symbol generation with zero chance of the persistence mechanic that makes those symbols compound. The max win drops from 10,000x in normal mode to 1,000x in Super Spin, which tells you how much of the game's ceiling depends on that bonus round.
