Sweet Bonanza is a game where wins tumble

Choose this slot if you want a fruit and sweets game with no paylines. It runs on a 6x5 grid, and wins form from symbols anywhere on that grid, not along set lines. You need at least 8 matching symbols to win. When a win lands, those symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall down, and new symbols refill the empty spots. This tumble repeats until no new wins appear.

Check the free spin rules first, since they set this game apart. Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Multiplier symbols appear only in free spins, worth 2x to 100x each. All multipliers present at the end of a tumble sequence are summed, and that total multiplies its win.

Sweet Bonanza bonus rounds

How does the bonus round start?

Ignition Casino lists each bonus rule here, before the first spin, in plain terms.

Multiplier values from 2x-100x

Land four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to trigger 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round award 5 additional free spins as a retrigger. MULTIPLIER symbols (random value 2x-100x) appear only here, and their values are summed to multiply that sequence's win.

10 free spins for A$500

Choose the Buy Feature to get 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. At the A$5 example bet it costs A$500, which is 100x the bet. The button is greyed out while the Ante Bet is switched on.

Base GameSkip to free spins

Where do winning symbols go?

Start a spin on the 6x5 grid, with no paylines or ways to win. Wins form from the total count of a matching symbol anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, and the rest fall and refill. Tumbles repeat with no cap until no wins occur.

Placing a betTumbling wins

A double chance to win

Switch on the Ante Bet in the left-hand panel, an optional toggle that costs 1.25 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet, that is A$6.25. While it is on, the Buy Feature button is disabled.

Know what comes next

Sweet Bonanza, from bet to cash

Read this before your first spin to see how a round moves from bet to payout.

  1. Choosing your stake before spin one

    Pick your bet before the first spin. Each win is a multiple of that bet, so a bigger stake pays more for the same symbols.

  2. Count matches across the whole grid

    Look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Winning symbols pay and are removed; the rest fall and empty spaces refill, repeating until no new win forms.

  3. Track scatters, let tumbles run

    Track scatter symbols anywhere on the grid, and let tumbles run until they stop paying. Multiplier symbols stay out of the base game; they appear only once free spins begin.

  4. Land four scatters, get 10 spins

    Land four or more scatters anywhere on the grid to start 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 spins.

  5. Setting your limit up front

    Decide your spending limit before the first spin, because no one can know how a session will end. Stop when you reach that limit, whether the balance is up or down.

Two ways to play

Undecided whether to bet Sweet Bonanza yet

Settles what the demo gives you, what real play asks of you, and who may play.

Play the demo to learn the reels, since it needs no money and pays nothing. Stake real money with an account here, at 18 or older.

When a session runs cold and stays flat

Deciding whether to keep spinning for the bonus starts with one fact you cannot check in advance: how often the bonus round comes. Nobody can know that before the first spin. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP, so a short session can end well above or below its starting balance.

Checking which RTP version is live starts with the game rules, because they are the only place that shows it. Read those rules before you compare the versions in the table on this page, since the table lists the versions but not which one is running.

Treating the top prize as a plan means accepting that the maximum win of Sweet Bonanza, x21,100 the bet, is a ceiling reached very rarely. The figure states the most the game can pay on one bet, not what a session will return.

Before the reels, after the win

Sweet Bonanza is for players aged 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.

Sweet Bonanza budget first

Set a session budget before the first spin. Pick an amount you can lose without touching bills or rent, then stop when it is gone.

Keep your profit in hand

Decide when you stop before you start, and keep to it even after a big win. Losses can follow a win in the same session.

Where to set loss limits?

Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. They hold your budget in place when losses build up.

Step away without a reason

Take a break, or self-exclude through BetStop, once playing stops being fun. You do not need a win or a loss to step away.

The smallest bet is A$0.20 per spin, so you can learn the 6x5 grid and the tumble feature for a low stake. The paytable uses A$1 as its base bet.

How does Sweet Bonanza 2500 differ from the original Sweet Bonanza?

How volatile is Sweet Bonanza, and what does medium mean?

Sweet Bonanza has medium volatility. Wins come in a range of sizes, so a session can have small returns and occasional large ones, but how often either comes cannot be known in advance.

What is the maximum win on Sweet Bonanza?

The maximum win is 21,100 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet, that is A$105,500, and at the highest bet of A$240 the top win is A$5,064,000. How often a win gets that big cannot be known in advance.

Can I buy the Sweet Bonanza bonus, and what does it cost?

The Buy Feature starts the free spins right away for 100 times the bet. Using the A$5 example bet, that costs A$500. The 10 free spins are the same at any bet level.

How do I trigger the free spins in Sweet Bonanza?

Land 4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to get 10 free spins. During the free spins, 3 or more scatters award 5 more spins, so the round can keep going.
