Our Recommended Casinos for Sweet Bonanza
Sweet Bonanza in Brief
Sweet Bonanza is a candy-themed slot from Pragmatic Play, first released in June 2019.
Instead of paylines, it pays for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on its six tumbling reels.
It came before Pragmatic Play's later pay-anywhere games, Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess, which build on the same idea.
How Wins Form
Land 8 to 12 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid to win. In the base game, these wins pay up to 50x.
After a win the reels tumble, so a single spin can produce a chain of wins.
Scatters and Free Spins
Four to six scatters trigger the bonus game with 10 free spins. The scatters themselves can also pay up to 100x.
Multipliers in the Bonus Round
During free spins, multiplier symbols worth between 2x and 100x can land.
At the end of a tumbling sequence, all multiplier values are added together, so several in one sequence combine into a larger multiplier.
RTP and Stakes
Pragmatic Play's official RTP for Sweet Bonanza is 96.48%, shown as 96% in our facts panel.
Stakes run from €0.20 to €300 per spin. RTP is a long-run average, so it tells you nothing about a single session.
Who Sweet Bonanza Suits
It suits players who enjoy chains of tumbling wins more than fixed lines.
If you like the format but want higher multiplier values, Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess both use multipliers up to 500x.
