Pick this game if you like fruit and sweets on one board with no paylines. Sweet Bonanza has a 6x5 grid and two themes, Fruits and Sweets. Wins come from symbols, not lines: at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay. Matched symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones fill the gaps. The tumble repeats until nothing else pays, and every win in a spin is added to the balance together.
Choose this game for a bonus round that works differently from the base game. Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins, and three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Only that round shows the multiplier symbol, worth 2x to 100x. Their values add up at the end of a tumble sequence and multiply that sequence's win.
Playing guide
Useful before your first spin, when you want the order of a round laid out.
Choose a stake from A$0.20 up to A$240. The stake sets the money value of each win, so the same symbol count pays more on a higher bet.
A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid, with no fixed lines. Winning symbols pay and vanish, then the rest fall and refill the gaps.
Tumble repeats with no cap, and all wins from one spin add to the balance together. The Multiplier symbol does not appear in the base game.
Four or more scatter symbols on the grid start 10 free spins. During those spins, three or more scatters add 5 more, and multiplier symbols worth 2x to 100x are summed.
Set your session limit before the first spin: decide how much you will stake in total, then stop when your balance reaches that point.
Before you buy the bonus, know that the price is 100 times your bet, so at A$10 the Free Spins purchase costs A$1,000.

Choosing a version starts with its return: the return to player is the share of every A$100 staked that comes back over a long run. The version run here is shown in the game rules.

At 888 Casino we explain each mode before you choose it.
Free Spins start when 4 or more SCATTER symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid, and the round awards 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more spins. Special reel strips run only in this round, where the MULTIPLIER symbol (2x-100x) appears.
Base game spin10 free spins
The Buy Feature gives you the free spins directly, without waiting for 4 or more scatters. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. While the Ante Bet toggle is ON, the button is greyed out. The price is 100 times your bet.
Before any spinImmediate free spins
Base spins run on the 6x5 grid with no paylines. Wins form from the total count of one symbol anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, then the rest drop to refill. Tumbling repeats with no cap, and all wins of a spin join the balance.
Every regular spinTumble wins
Turning the Ante Bet on in the left-hand panel makes each bet 1.25 times the bet you set. At the A$10 example top bet, the spin costs A$12.50. While it is ON, the Buy Feature button is disabled.

Sweet Bonanza screens
Most players worry they will not recognise a win or a free spins screen until one appears.
Deciding how much to stake on Sweet Bonanza means accepting one fact: the bonus round arrives on no timetable you can read in advance. How often it comes is not known before you play, and the result of one session is random, whichever RTP version runs.
Choosing a stake level on Sweet Bonanza also means knowing which RTP version this lobby runs. That detail is shown only in the game rules, so read them before you commit money to a spin. The two versions sit close together on return, so read the figures in the table before you decide.
Chasing the top prize on Sweet Bonanza means accepting that the maximum win is a ceiling, not a target. It is reached very rarely, so set your stake by what you can afford to lose, not by that ceiling.
Game modes
Useful before opening an account, when you want to learn the paytable and how a round runs.
Pick the demo to practise without spending money, because it pays nothing. Real play needs an account at 888 Casino and you must be 18 or older.
PlayPlayers must be 18+ to play Sweet Bonanza. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game. Once that amount is spent, stop for the session.
Pick your stopping point before the session starts, and keep to it even after a big win. A win does not change the limit you set.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account settings before you start playing. Limits protect your balance when a session runs longer than planned.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop. Do not keep spinning to win back losses.
Sweet Bonanza explained
You will have checked the bet limits, RTP versions and free spin triggers before your first spin.
The Buy Feature starts 10 free spins straight away, whatever bet you choose. At the example top bet of A$10, it costs A$1,000, which is 100 times the bet. While the Ante Bet toggle is on, the buy button is greyed out.
Each series title has its own RTP and maximum win, so the figures differ from one title to the next. Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter, for example, carries a higher maximum win multiple than this game. Check the versions table before choosing a title.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the round with 10 free spins. During the round, 3 or more scatters award 5 more free spins. The Multiplier symbol, worth 2x to 100x, appears only in this round.
RTP is the long-run share of stakes returned to players. It does not predict the result of one session. Sweet Bonanza runs at two RTP versions, 96.49 and 96.60. The gap between them is 0.11 percentage points, and the table shows the return on A$100 staked.
The lowest bet is A$0.20. The highest bet allowed here is A$240. The Ante Bet multiplies the bet by 1.25, so an A$10 bet costs A$12.50 with it on.
Yes, Sweet Bonanza opens in demo mode from the game lobby. Use it to learn the grid, the tumbling wins and the free spins before you stake any money.
