Pragmatic Play · 2019
Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play is a 6x5 video slot with fruit and sweets symbols that pay wherever they land. This page sets out the figures first.
Choose this game if you want a fruit and sweets slot on a 6x5 grid with no paylines. A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols pay and disappear, the rest fall down, and empty spaces refill from above. Tumbles repeat until no new win forms, and every win from one base spin is added to your balance together.
Pick this title if you want a bonus round where multipliers can lift a win. Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during those spins award 5 more. Multiplier symbols, worth 2x to 100x, appear only in free spins. Their values are summed at the end of a tumbling sequence and multiply that sequence's win.

Five steps per round
The usual worry is what a spin costs and when a win pays, and these steps answer both.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Every win scales with that stake, and this page uses A$2 and A$10 as examples.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win, with no paylines. Winners pay and vanish, the rest fall, and tumbles repeat until no new win lands.
Tumble and Scatter are the base game features. Scatter symbols count anywhere on the grid, while Multiplier symbols appear only in the free spins.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 10 free spins. Three or more Scatters during the round add 5 more spins.
Set your budget before the first spin, and stop once it is gone. No one can know a session's result in advance.
Extra spins for you
Read this when you want to know how a bonus round starts, before you bet.
Land 4 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. Special reel strips run only here, and MULTIPLIER symbols, with random values of 2x-100x, appear only in this round.
Base game spins10 free spins
The Buy Feature button starts a free spins round at once, without waiting for scatters. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. While Ante Bet is ON, the button stays disabled and greyed out.
Base game screenInstant free spins
Each spin lands on a 6x5 grid with no paylines or ways to win. Wins count the total of a matching symbol anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and empty spots refill, so tumbling repeats with no cap until no wins occur.
Any normal spinTumble wins
Ante Bet is an optional toggle in the left-hand panel that raises your stake to 1.25 times the bet. Switching it on turns on the Double Chance to Win Feature and disables the Buy Feature button.

Practise before staking
Shows whether to practise first, and what the real game asks before any spin.
Pick the demo to try the reels without money, though it pays nothing at all. Pick the real game with an account once you are 18 or older.
Play for moneyDecide now that you will play without knowing when the bonus round arrives. Nobody can know in advance how often it comes in Sweet Bonanza, so no session follows a pattern you can read. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. An RTP figure describes the average over a very large number of spins, not what happens in the next hour of play.
Check the game rules before you start, because the RTP version Surge Casino runs is shown only there. Two versions of Sweet Bonanza exist, and the rules name the one you play. The gap between the two is small, but it is still a gap you should see before the first spin.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. Sweet Bonanza's maximum win is 21,100 times the bet, and players reach it very rarely. The figure describes the game's limit, not what your session will pay, so set your bet and budget in advance.

Surge Casino puts the numbers first, so you can compare games before you spin.
Before you stake
The answers below settle the version, the bets, how to test the game and the top win.
Compare the RTP before you pick a version. Sweet Bonanza has the higher RTP at 96.60, while Sweet Bonanza Xmas runs at 96.49 with the same maximum win of 21,100 times the bet. Other releases in the series, such as Sweet Bonanza 1000, carry different figures.
Pick a stake between A$0.20 and A$240 per spin. The paytable uses A$2, and the examples on this page use A$2 and A$10. The A$10 example is five times the A$2 paytable bet.
Start at the smallest stake of A$0.20 to see how the game pays before you raise the bet. Low stakes let you test how a round plays at small cost, and you can move up to the A$2 and A$10 examples later.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. It is 21,100 times the bet. At the highest bet of A$240 that is A$5,064,000, and at the A$10 example it is A$211,000. No session can be planned around reaching it.
Players must be 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose on Sweet Bonanza before you open the game, and keep that amount separate from bills.
Set a stop point before you start, and keep to it even after a win, because a big win can tempt more spins.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the amount you can put in or lose is fixed in advance.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and leave the lobby without chasing losses.
