Game Principle in Brief
Setup
Sweet Bonanza is played on a grid with 6 reels and 5 rows. Each spin sees 30 new symbols drop in at once: bananas, grapes, watermelons, plums, apples, as well as four sweets of varying value. There are no paylines; the entire grid is evaluated. This ensures every round is clearly structured and plays out quickly.
Winning Logic
The Pay-Anywhere system pays out as soon as at least eight identical symbols appear anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols do not need to be adjacent. The more identical symbols, the higher the multiplier on your stake. Examples: 8–9 grapes pay 0.4×, 12+ grapes pay 8× your stake. After each payout, the tumble feature begins: winning symbols are removed, new symbols drop down from above. This allows for multiple consecutive payouts in a single spin, until no new combinations are formed.
Stakes, Volatility & RTP
The base stake ranges from £0.20 to £125 per spin, depending on the partner casino. Pragmatic Play rates the volatility at 5/5: you should expect longer dry spells, but individual wins can be potentially higher. Approved RTP profiles:
Version | RTP |
---|---|
Standard | 96.48% |
Alternative 1 | 95.45% |
Alternative 2 | 94.50% |
Alternative 3 | 91.48% |
Which profile is active in the UK is determined by the licensed partner casino. Reputable providers display the exact RTP value transparently in the game’s paytable.
Bonus Features That Make the Difference
On the official Sweet Bonanza page by Pragmatic Play, we present the three core features that define the game: Free Spins with Multiplier Bombs, Ante Bet, and the direct Feature Buy. All details refer to the original version.
Feature | Trigger/Cost | RTP Variant* | Special Feature |
---|---|---|---|
Free Spins | 4+ Lollipop Scatters = 10 Spins, 3+ Scatters in the bonus = +5 Spins | 96.48% | Multiplier Bombs from 2x–100x, added together per tumble sequence |
Ante Bet | +25% stake | ≈ 96.51% | Double chance of Free Spins, Feature Buy deactivated |
Feature Buy | 100× total stake | ≈ 96.60% | Instant 4–6 Scatters, high volatility |
Free Spins with Multiplier Bombs
In 10 free rounds, triggered by 4 or more Lollipop Scatters, bombs with multipliers from 2x up to 100x land. All bomb values in a tumble cascade are added together and applied to the total win. Three Lollipops grant +5 additional spins. Per spin, up to 21,100 times your stake can be won.
Ante Bet
If you prefer to trigger features naturally, activate the Ante Bet. For an extra 25% stake, scatters appear more frequently, statistically doubling your chance of free spins. During this, the Feature Buy is deactivated.
Feature Buy
Instant access costs 100 times your current total stake and starts the bonus game with 4–6 scatters. Due to the increased risk, volatility rises considerably, so we strongly recommend strict limit management.
Note for Austria
Please note that Ante Bet and Feature Buy may be deactivated or limited in licensed online casinos with an Austrian licence. Check the partner casino’s rules before playing.

Performance Tips
A stable Wi-Fi or 4G/5G connection shortens loading time to around 12 seconds. On mobile devices, disable power-saving mode and Bluetooth, and make sure you have at least 200 MB free storage. On very old chipsets, using landscape mode can reduce touch latency by up to 15%. You can individually switch off sound and animations in the menu.
Fairness, Safety & Licences

Each casino sets its own limits per transaction and time period, alongside statutory caps under UK gambling law.
