Sweet Bonanza
Sweet Bonanza Official Platform

The slot runs on 6 reels and 5 rows with Pays Anywhere, RTP 96.48%–96.51% (varies by operator), medium–high volatility, max win 21,100x stake, and features Tumble, Free Spins with Multipliers, and Ante Bet.

How Sweet Bonanza Works
Grid and Tumble Mechanic
We play on a 6x5 grid with a Pays Anywhere system. A win lands when 8 or more matching symbols appear anywhere on the screen. After each win, the Tumble feature removes the winning icons. New symbols drop in to fill the gaps, giving us a chance at back-to-back wins within a single spin.
Multipliers in Free Spins
During Free Spins, rainbow bomb symbols act as multipliers from 2x to 100x. At the end of a complete tumble sequence, we add the values of all visible multipliers and apply that total to the win from that sequence.
Pragmatic Play Behind Sweet Bonanza
About the studio
We spotlight Pragmatic Play, founded in 2015 and now a leading provider known for regular releases and robust maths models. Its portfolio offers over 300 unique online pokies, plus Live Casino and Bingo, with hits like Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, and Big Bass Bonanza. It holds licences from the MGA and the UKGC.
What this brings to Sweet Bonanza
We get HTML5 mobile‑first builds for crisp visuals and stable performance on any device. Independent labs test fairness across many regulated markets. Their expertise powers tumble wins and scalable multipliers that set Sweet Bonanza’s pace.
Payout Structure and RTP
RTP and volatility
We note a default RTP of 96.48%–96.51%, though some operators in France may use lower settings. Volatility is medium to high, so wins land less often but can be sizeable. Any 8+ matching symbols pay anywhere and trigger Tumble for consecutive wins.
Symbol payouts
All pays are multipliers of our total bet in AUD. Lollipop Scatter pays in any position. Other symbols pay anywhere with at least eight.
| Symbol | 8-9 Symbols | 10-11 Symbols | 12+ Symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lollipop Scatter | 3x | 5x | 100x |
| Red Heart Candy | 10x | 25x | 50x |
| Purple Square Candy | 2.5x | 10x | 25x |
| Green Pentagon Candy | 2x | 5x | 15x |
| Blue Rectangle Candy | 1.5x | 2x | 12x |
| Apple | 1x | 1.5x | 10x |
| Plum | 0.8x | 1.2x | 8x |
| Watermelon | 0.5x | 1x | 5x |
| Grapes | 0.4x | 0.9x | 4x |
| Banana | 0.25x | 0.75x | 2x |
Multipliers and maximum win
In free spins, candy bomb multipliers from 2x to 100x can land. After a tumble, visible multipliers combine and apply to the spin’s total. This enables the maximum win capped at 21,175x our stake in AUD.
Free Spins Feature
How it starts
Free spins trigger when four or more Lollipop Scatters land on the reels in a single spin. This awards 10 free spins and pays instantly: 4 Scatters = 3x stake, 5 = 5x, 6 = 100x. During the bonus, landing 3+ Scatters adds 5 extra spins.
What happens
A rainbow‑coloured bomb multiplier worth 2x–100x can drop, stays through all tumbles, then all multipliers on screen are totalled and applied to the spin’s total win.
Access options
Where permitted, Ante Bet adds 25% to your stake and doubles the chance of a natural trigger; Bonus Buy costs 100x your base stake and triggers free spins on the next spin with at least 4 Scatters.

Sweet Bonanza Xmas Edition
Seasonal look
We play the same slot in a winter setting: snow-dusted landscape, frosty reels, lollies and fruit in festive wraps, and gentle holiday music. The bright colour palette stays familiar for an easy switch from the classic.
Gameplay and specs
We get identical mechanics: Tumble wins, scatters trigger free spins, and multiplier bombs up to 100x. Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins return where permitted in Australia. Volatility is high and unchanged, RTP remains 96.48%–96.51%, and max win stays 21,100x bet. In short, visuals differ while win potential and core features, Tumble, Free Spins, Multipliers, match the original.
Sweet Bonanza 1000

In Free Spins, rainbow bomb multipliers up to 1,000x accumulate during winning tumbles and apply to the spin’s total. Volatility moves from Medium-High to High (5/5).
Options

Demo Mode vs Real Money
Demo mode
On the official Sweet Bonanza platform, we can try the game in demo mode with replenishable virtual credits, no registration or deposit. We learn tumbling wins, bonus features, and pacing in a risk-free environment. Demo winnings remain virtual and can’t be withdrawn, and casino promotions don’t apply.
Real money
Real money play means staking Australian dollars (AUD) with a registered, verified casino account and a deposit. There’s financial risk of losing stakes, but winnings are withdrawable cash and we’re eligible for bonuses, free spins, promotions in Australia. Get comfortable with bet sizing and volatility, play demo first, set responsible gambling limits, then start small.
