Sweet Bonanza plays as a tumble slot

Pick this game if you want a fruit and sweets theme on a 6x5 grid. Sweet Bonanza is a scatter-pays slot with no paylines or ways. A win forms when eight or more matching symbols sit anywhere on the grid after a spin or tumble step. Winning symbols pay and vanish, the rest fall, and the grid refills until no new win forms.

Choose this title over other Pragmatic Play slots here if you want a round with multipliers. Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more free spins. Multiplier symbols appear only in the free spins, worth 2x to 100x each. Their values add up and multiply that tumbling sequence's win.

Sweet Bonanza free spins and retriggers

Four or more SCATTER symbols on the 6x5 grid start this mode, awarding 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more free spins as a retrigger. Multiplier symbols worth 2x to 100x appear only here, and their summed value multiplies each tumbling sequence's win.

What does the Buy Feature cost?

Pressing the Buy Feature button always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. The cost is 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at the example bet of A$10. The button is greyed out while the Ante Bet is on.

Count matching symbols across the grid

Each bet starts a spin on the 6x5 grid with no paylines. A symbol pays when 8 or more matching symbols sit anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and the tumble repeats with no cap until no wins occur.

What does the Double Chance cost?

Turning on the Double Chance to Win Feature from the left-hand panel raises each stake to 1.25 times the bet, which is A$12.50 at the example bet of A$10. While it is on, the Buy Feature button is disabled.

Sweet Bonanza round

Before the first spin starts

Follow one round from the bet you choose to the payout it earns.

  1. A$0.20 floor, A$240 ceiling

    Choose a stake from A$0.20 up to A$240 per spin. The paytable on this page uses A$1, and every payout scales with the bet you select.

  2. Count matches across the grid

    Look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to form a win. Paylines do not exist here, because the game counts every matching symbol wherever it sits.

  3. Refilling spots and falling symbols

    Watch the tumble: winning symbols leave, the rest fall, and the chain runs until no win remains. Scatters count toward the free spins, and multipliers appear only in that round.

  4. When the fourth symbol lands

    Land four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid and the round starts with 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more free spins.

  5. Spending that stays within a limit

    Set the total you will stake before the first spin, and stop there. If play stops feeling in your control, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Look up the version before you spin

Decide how much you will spend before the first spin, because the bonus round cannot be timed. Nobody can say how often the free spins will land in Sweet Bonanza, and no sign on the grid predicts them. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. A return figure describes long-run averages, not the evening you are about to play.

Look up the RTP version in the game rules before you spin, because the version Bigwin Casino runs is shown only there. The versions of Sweet Bonanza differ by a small margin, so the rules are the only place to confirm which one you are playing. Read that line before you decide how long to play.

Treat the maximum win in Sweet Bonanza as a ceiling that very few sessions reach, not as a number to plan around. Set your stake so that a run of ordinary results still fits inside your budget. Whether a given session comes near that ceiling is decided by chance, and no amount of study changes it.

Sweet Bonanza questions

What should I know about Sweet Bonanza before spinning?

Useful before the first spin, when the bet, bonus and trigger are still unclear.

What are the Sweet Bonanza bet limits in Australia?

Stakes run from A$0.20 up to A$240 per spin. Every payout grows with the stake you pick, because the win amounts are multiples of the bet.

How volatile is Sweet Bonanza and how big can a win get?

Sweet Bonanza has medium volatility, which means results differ in size from one session to the next. The maximum win is 21,100 times the bet. No one can know in advance whether a session will reach it, and no spin is certain to pay.

How do I get free spins in Sweet Bonanza?

Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the free spins round, which awards 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 more spins. Multiplier symbols carry a random value from 2x to 100x and appear only during free spins.

Can I buy Sweet Bonanza free spins and what does it cost?

Yes. The Buy Feature starts 10 free spins for 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at an A$10 bet. Turning on the Ante Bet, which costs 1.25 times the bet, switches the buy button off.

Is there a Sweet Bonanza demo to play for free?

Before raising the stake, you can check the paytable at an A$1 bet, which lists what each symbol pays. The lowest stake is A$0.20 per spin, so a first session can start small.
