Pragmatic Play · 2019
6x5 grid, scatter pays and tumbling wins: Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play is a medium volatility video slot. This page sets out its figures before your first spin.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
A 6x5 grid of fruit and sweets symbols forms the board of Sweet Bonanza, a video slot from Pragmatic Play. No paylines decide a win. Instead, 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay, and the total count sets the amount. After each win, the paying symbols disappear, the remaining symbols drop down, and empty places refill from above. This tumble repeats until no more wins appear.
4 or more SCATTER symbols start 10 free spins, and 3 or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Only the free spins round brings the MULTIPLIER symbol, worth 2x to 100x. Multipliers present at the end of a tumble sequence add up and their total multiplies that sequence's win. Ante Bet toggle at 1.25 times the bet switches off the Buy Feature button.

Clearer rounds
Casino Plus walks through each round in the order the game runs it.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$240 the highest, and you pick the bet before each spin. This page uses A$0.20 and A$0.40 as examples.
Eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win, with no paylines to line up. The count runs at the end of each spin or tumble step.
Tumble pays the winning symbols, removes them, lets the rest fall, and repeats until no win is left. The Multiplier appears only in free spins, so the base game has none.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid award 10 free spins, and three or more during the round add 5 more.
Before the first spin, decide the most you will lose and the moment you will stop. If play costs more than planned, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Before the reels turn
Read this before your first spin, when you want to know how a bonus round starts.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the round and award 10 free spins. Three or more Scatters during the round add 5 more free spins. The round uses its own reel strips, and Multiplier symbols worth 2x-100x appear only here.
Base game spins10 free spins
Buy Feature opens the free spins straight from the base game for 100 times the bet. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. While the Ante Bet toggle is on, the button stays greyed out.
Base gameImmediate free spins
The base game runs on a 6x5 grid with no paylines or ways. Matching symbols count anywhere on the grid, and winning symbols are paid and removed. The rest fall down and empty spaces refill, and this tumble repeats with no cap until no wins remain.
Placing a betTumbling wins
The Ante Bet is an optional toggle in the left-hand panel. It raises the stake to 1.25 times the bet, and at the example top bet of A$0.40 that is A$0.50. While it is on, the Buy Feature button is disabled.

Practise at no cost
After this, you will know how to try the game before staking real money.
A$0.20 is the lowest real-money stake. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+, and the demo needs no money and pays nothing.
Start playing4 or more SCATTER symbols on the 6x5 grid trigger the free spins, but how often that happens is not known in advance. One session can end with no bonus at all or with several, and the result is random whatever RTP version the game runs. The RTP is a long-run average over many rounds, not a promise for your own session.
2 RTP versions of Sweet Bonanza exist. Which one runs on a given game is shown only in the game rules, and the rules are the place to check before you play. Read that section first, because the rules state the version that applies to the game you open.
x21,100 of the bet is the highest multiple this slot can pay, and reaching it is very rare. The ceiling says what the top of the range is, not what a typical session pays. Set the bet and the time you want to spend before you start and treat the ceiling as information only.
Choosing your next slot
Worried that the next slot from Pragmatic Play will play the same way?
18+ only. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is there for anyone who needs support, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you open Sweet Bonanza and count that amount as money already spent. Stop when it runs out, whatever the balance on screen shows.
Pick a stopping point before you spin, and keep to it after a win too, because a run of wins can tempt you to play on.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so a bad run stays within what you planned.
If Sweet Bonanza stops being fun, take a pause. For a longer break, self-exclude through BetStop.
Sweet Bonanza facts
After reading these answers, you will know the bets, the maximum win and the RTP versions.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet on Sweet Bonanza. A$240 is the highest bet allowed on this site. The examples on this page use A$0.20 and A$0.40 only to show how the figures scale.
96.60 is the highest RTP in the Sweet Bonanza series, and the slot's maximum win is 21,100x. Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter has the largest maximum win in the series at 50,000x, with 96.51. Sweet Bonanza 1000 offers 96.53 and 25,000x, and Sweet Bonanza 2500 offers 96.52.
21,100x the bet is the maximum win on Sweet Bonanza. At the example top bet of A$0.40, that is A$8,440, and at A$240 it is A$5,064,000.
6x5 is the grid, and medium is the volatility. Medium means the balance can move in bigger steps than in a low volatility game, and small and large results both appear over a session. No rule tells you when a large result will come.
96.60 and 96.49 are the two RTP versions of Sweet Bonanza. RTP is the share of stakes returned over a very long run, counted per A$100 staked, so a single session can end well above or below it.
A$40 is the cost of the Free Spins buy at the example top bet of A$0.40, which is 100 times the bet. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the bet level.
