Bakery Bonanza in detail
Released on 28 March 2023, Bakery Bonanza takes PG Soft's house chassis — 6 reels, 5 rows — and adds one extra row underneath reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. That bottom strip is not decoration: it is the multiplier reel, and the whole game is built around it. The visible grid reads as a 5-6-6-6-6-5 and offers 2,025 to 32,400 ways to win depending on the spin's configuration, a figure the official documentation states as a range where most listings keep only the maximum. The engine is a collapsing-reels setup: paid symbols leave, the next ones drop in, the grid is re-evaluated.
The multiplier reel occupies the bottom line, aligned with reels 2 to 5. Every time wins are paid, the win multiplier rises by +2 for each winning symbol sitting in that reel. There are no four separate counters as on other titles from the studio: there is a single shared one that accumulates. A cascade with four winning symbols on the bottom strip therefore adds +8 in one go. It is blunt and perfectly legible, which is not that common across this catalogue.
The free spins require 4 scatters and award 10 rounds, plus 2 more for each additional scatter at the trigger. Two rules then change everything. First, the counter is set to x3 when the feature starts, and then climbs by +3 — not +2 — per winning symbol in the bottom reel. Second and above all, it is never reset until the bonus ends: whatever was banked on the second round still applies on the tenth. Add the +1 symbols, each granting an extra free spin at the end of the round it appears in, and you get a feature that can run well past its original ten rounds while its multiplier keeps swelling.
The Wilds-on-the-Way layer completes the picture. Some symbols on reels 2 to 5 occupying 2 to 4 cells of height land in a silver frame. If they take part in a win, they turn into a random symbol in a gold frame; and if that gold symbol then takes part in a win, it becomes 2 to 4 wilds depending on how many cells it occupied. That is the difference from the rest of the family: here a single framed symbol can deliver four wilds at once, not one. The wild itself appears on reels 2 to 6, never on the first.
