Sweet Bonanza Slot Review: RTP, Max Win & Free Spins Explained

Sweet Bonanza by Pragmatic Play is one of the most played online slots in the world. Released in 2019, it swapped classic paylines for a “pay anywhere” grid, tumbling wins and multiplier bombs in free spins. Here is how it works, what the numbers mean and how to try it for free.

Sweet Bonanza at a glance

How the game works

There are no paylines. You win when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the 6×5 grid. Winning symbols explode and new ones fall into place (the tumble feature), so one spin can produce a chain of wins. Fruit symbols pay less, candy symbols pay more, and the red heart candy is the top regular symbol.

Free spins and multipliers

Land 4 or more lollipop scatters to trigger 10 free spins. During free spins, rainbow multiplier bombs can drop with values from 2x up to 100x. All multipliers on screen at the end of a tumble sequence are added together and applied to the total win of that sequence. Landing 3 more scatters during the feature adds 5 extra spins.

Ante bet and bonus buy

• Ante bet: raises your stake by 25% and roughly doubles the chance of triggering free spins.
• Bonus buy: where available, buy the free spins directly for 100x your bet. Bonus buys are banned in some countries and are not always offered.

Check the RTP before you play

Pragmatic Play offers casinos several RTP versions of the same game. The default is 96.48%, but lower versions exist. Open the game’s info or paytable screen in the casino to see which version you are playing. Over a long session, 1-2% of RTP is a meaningful difference. Learn more in our article on slot RTP.

Is Sweet Bonanza worth playing?

Pros: fun tumble mechanic, big multiplier potential, simple rules, available almost everywhere.
