The key mechanical difference
This is where the games genuinely diverge. Sweet Bonanza's free spins feature drops scatter multipliers (values like 2×, 3×, 5×, 10×, 25×, 50×, 100×) that add together during the round. If you collect 10 scatters worth 100× each, that's 1,000× applied to every cluster win that round — which is how Sweet Bonanza reaches 21,100× potential.
Fruit Party's multipliers appear randomly on individual winning symbols and compound within the same cluster (up to 256×). The ceiling per tumble is lower but the mechanics are simpler and each tumble is independent.
Random 2×/4× multipliers on winning symbols. Each tumble independent. Max 256× per cluster. More predictable variance.
Accumulating scatter multipliers that stack throughout free spins. Can reach massive combined multipliers. Higher top-end variance, bigger potential swings.

Verdict
Sweet Bonanza has a meaningfully higher max win (21,100× vs 5,000×) and a more dramatic bonus mechanic. Fruit Party is cleaner and arguably less nerve-wracking during free spins — you're not watching a multiplier counter that could make or break the session. Neither is objectively better; they suit different temperaments.
A decent welcome bonus extends your session on a high-volatility slot. Look for wagering under 30× at casinos confirmed to run the 96.47% RTP version.
