A wise man named Karl Pilkington once said that happiness is like cake – it’s great, but if you have too much of it, you’ll eventually become sick of it. Personally, I think that’s a load of old waffle, cakes always makes me happy, and I don’t think I’d ever get tired of them, especially when they look as delicious as those featured in this release from PG Soft. Bakery Bonanza is a high volatility, six-reel, Megaways style slot featuring a maximum win of 35,000x and an RTP of 96.72%.
Strolling down your local high street and sniffing the scent of freshly baked bread and sweet, sumptuous pastries wafting from the bakers’ shop is always a sensory delight. In Bakery Bonanza, that experience is delivered to us on a plate in slot form. Events take place across six reels, each capable of holding between two to five symbols, creating a total number of payways ranging from 2,025 to 32,400. An additional horizontal row is located beneath reels two to five, into which four symbols will slide to assist in forming wins. Headline features include cascading reels, multipliers, mystery symbols, and a wilds-on-the-way feature, which, when activated, can turn certain grid positions wild. There is also a free spins bonus to play for, which can be triggered by landing at least four scatter symbols.
Has the sound of that got you craving some tasty treats? Well, you’re in luck, as a fresh batch has just been taken out of the oven! Check out the Bakery Bonanza slot demo, which is available to sample free of charge below!

Judging by the large number of food-inspired games featured within the PG Soft catalogue, their developers must be a hungry bunch, constantly thinking about their stomachs. There's certainly plenty on the menu; for starters, how about Diner Delights? Set within a very sophisticated-looking restaurant, this 6x6 grid, medium volatility slot serves up multipliers and a free spins bonus, an RTP of 96.75%, and a possible maximum win of 5,000x your total stake. After you’ve enjoyed your main courses, how about finishing strong with something sweet? Candy Bonanza could fit the bill. Featuring multipliers, giant symbols, and a free spins round, this cluster pays slot with an RTP of 96.72% and a gigantic potential maximum win of 50,000x will surely deliver the sugar rush you require. Coming up, we’ll take a more detailed look into the features of Bakery Bonanza, starting with the pays section.
The most expensive item on offer and highest paying symbol on the paytable is the large Chocolate-Topped Sponge Cake, which will return 2.5x your total stake for each line of six symbols. Next, it’s the Strawberry Cheesecake, paying 1.5x. Following these are the four remaining premium symbols, the Eclair, the Croissant, the Ring Donut, and the Macaroon, which will return 0.75x, 0.4x, 0.3x, and 0.25x, respectively, per line of six. The non-premiums featured are the Spade, Heart, Club, and Diamond, which all pay 0.2x the total bet amount.
When it comes to the playing stakes, typically from a PG Soft game, there’s plenty on offer. There are 33 different options to choose from, to be precise, and these range from as low as €0.60 to as high as €180.00, ensuring an abundance of possibilities. Those small-stake players may feel that €0.60 is slightly high for them, but I suspect the real money version of the game will include bet sizes as low as €0.20.
Looking at the game mechanics, we can see that Bakery Bonanza operates on a Megaways style, six-reel, two to five row grid, with an additional horizontal, single line of rows positioned below reels two to five. The cascading reels system is utilised, with any symbols that are involved in a win being removed from the grid, creating additional space for further symbols to drop in from the top, offering the opportunity for multiple wins and cascades to take place within a single game round. As standard with many slots, wins are achieved by matching at least three symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel.
The horizontal reel that spans the bottom of reels two to five also acts as a multiplier reel. Any symbol contained within this reel involved in a winning sequence will disappear, revealing a x2 multiplier and creating space for additional symbols to slide into the reel. All four positions within this reel possess these multipliers, and they can all be revealed numerous times within the same spin. At the end of a sequence, any of these multipliers that have been collected will be added up and applied to the total win value for that round.
During any spin, you may notice that some symbols landing on reels two to five have a silver frame around them. If any of these framed symbols are involved in a win, the grid position they were situated within will transform into a mystery symbol before the next cascade. Once that next drop down has occurred, all mystery symbols on the reels will be surrounded by a golden frame and turn into the same randomly selected symbol. If these golden bordered symbols are involved in a win, the grid positions they were situated within will transform into two to four wild symbols.
Four scatter symbols landing on the grid during any one spin will trigger the free spins feature, awarding ten spins. Any additional scatter symbols above the required four will award a further two starting spins each, up to a total maximum of 14
During the bonus, the x2 multipliers that can be revealed along the bottom row are upgraded to x3. And most importantly, the total multiplier value is not reset between spins, giving it the opportunity to rise to a substantial figure. The total win from each free spin round is multiplied by its current value before the next commences. Landing any +1 scatter symbols on the screen will award an additional one free spin each; however, the feature cannot be fully re-triggered.
When I first fired up this game, I thought to myself - will Bakery Bonanza rise to the top, or will we be left with a soggy bottom? I’m pleased to report that this slot has been baked to perfection. Now, I’m not saying that it’s the best thing since sliced bread, but it is a very well-rounded game.
The wilds-on-the-way feature is something a bit different and keeps you engaged on every spin as you look out for the silver and gold frames being built; it definitely adds depth. But, in my view, the icing on the cake here is the increased multipliers that do not reset within the bonus. These can build to a really high figure, and win values clearly begin to shoot up at that point. However, this is also potentially a negative as the game seems to get scared once the multiplier is high and often spins away with no further wins until the end of the bonus. Overall, a tasty creation.
