Pragmatic Play · 2019
Sweet Bonanza is a Pragmatic Play video slot on a 6x5 grid, where wins form anywhere on the board. The page covers its figures, rounds and features.
Pick Sweet Bonanza if you want a fruit and candy theme on a 6x5 grid with no paylines. A win forms when eight or more matching symbols sit anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, then the rest fall and the empty places refill from above. This tumble repeats until no new win forms, and all wins from one spin go to the balance together.
Play for the free spins round if you want multiplied wins. Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 10 free spins, and three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Multiplier symbols appear only in this round, with values from 2x to 100x, and their total multiplies the win of each tumble sequence.

Visual guide
These screens settle how the grid and free spins look before you play.
Choose the buy to skip the base game: it costs 100 times the bet, which is A$500 at the top example bet of A$5.

| Buy Feature, 100x the bet | x100 · A$500 | – |
Before you stake, check the return to player: it shows how much of each A$100 staked the game pays back over a long run. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Your first spin
Vegastars shows each step of a round before you put money on the first spin.
Set the bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Each spin in Sweet Bonanza costs the bet you set, and the paytable lists payouts for A$0.40.
Sweet Bonanza has no paylines. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win, and the count is checked after each tumble step.
Tumble runs with no cap: winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones refill. Multiplier symbols never appear in the base game, so base wins stay unmultiplied.
Four or more scatters on the grid trigger 10 free spins. During the round, three or more scatters add 5 more spins, and multiplier symbols, 2x to 100x, appear only there.
Decide your session limit before the first spin, since no round shows how a session will end. Write the limit in money, because a round can run longer than planned.
Four modes in total
This section settles how each round starts, what it costs and how many spins you get.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the round, which awards 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more spins. Only this round uses its own reel strips. The MULTIPLIER symbol, with a random value of 2x-100x, appears only here.
Base game spins10 free spins
The Buy Feature opens the free spins round at once, for 100 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$5 that costs A$500. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. The button is greyed out while the Ante Bet is on.
Base game screenStraight to bonus
Base game uses a 6x5 grid with no paylines. A win needs 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols pay, are removed, and the rest fall to refill. Tumbles repeat without a cap, and all wins from one base spin are added together.
Starting a spinTumble wins
The Ante Bet is an optional toggle in the left-hand panel. When it is on, the stake is 1.25 times the bet, so A$6.25 at the A$5 example top bet. Switching it on disables the Buy Feature button. Switch it off to use the Buy Feature.
Base game stakeDouble Chance stake
Deciding to start a Sweet Bonanza session means accepting that the bonus round cannot be timed. How often it comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. One player may hit the free spins early, another may see none at all. The RTP describes the return over a very large number of spins, not over your session.
Working out which RTP version applies to your play is a question the game rules answer, not this page. Which RTP version Vegastars Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so check them before you start. The figures in the tables describe each version separately.
Deciding how much to stake for the top prize means treating the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. The maximum win of Sweet Bonanza is a ceiling reached very rarely, and this page cannot say how rarely. The money at each stake is listed in the tables above.
Sweet Bonanza demo
After reading this, you will have chosen between demo play and a real account.
Choosing the demo means playing with no money, and it pays nothing. Real play needs an account at Vegastars Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Play for real moneyYour first spin
Most players worry about bet sizes, free spin triggers and the biggest possible win.
Sweet Bonanza accepts bets from A$0.20 up to A$240. The paytable is set at A$0.40, and A$5 is used in this page as a worked example. The example is not a limit.
4 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the free spins, which award 10 spins. 3 or more scatters during the free spins add 5 more spins. Multiplier symbols appear only during the free spins.
The maximum win is 21,100 times the bet. At the example bet of A$5 that is A$105,500, and at the highest bet of A$240 it is A$5,064,000. The figure is a ceiling, not a result you can expect.
The series has four other versions, each with its own RTP and maximum win. Super Scatter reaches 50,000 times the bet, the highest in the series, while Sweet Bonanza Xmas reaches 21,100 times. Check which version you open before you start.
Sweet Bonanza runs at 96.49 or 96.60 RTP. That means A$96.49 or A$96.60 returned per A$100 staked over a very large number of spins. A single session can end far above or below that figure.
Start at the minimum bet of A$0.20 to see how a round runs, and check the paytable at A$0.40 before raising the stake. Those two steps show the payouts and rules before a larger stake is at risk.
