A 6x5 grid of fruit and candy symbols sits at the centre of Sweet Bonanza. It is a video slot with no paylines or ways. Wins form when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the grid at the end of a spin, and then winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in, so one spin can run several tumbling steps before it ends.
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round with 10 free spins. During that round, 3 or more scatters award 5 more free spins. Multiplier symbols, worth 2x to 100x, appear only in this round and their values add together before they multiply the win from one tumbling sequence. Separate reel strips run only here.
Four modes explained
After reading, you will know how each mode starts and what you get before the first spin.
4 or more SCATTER symbols on the 6x5 grid start the round with 10 free spins. During the round, 3 or more scatters award 5 additional free spins. Each MULTIPLIER symbol, valued 2x to 100x, appears only here, and their sum multiplies the win of a tumble sequence.
Base game10 free spins
10 free spins start straight away when you use the Buy Feature, regardless of purchase bet level. At the example top bet of A$10, it costs 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000. It is greyed out while Ante Bet is ON.
Base gameInstant free spins
6x5 grid with no paylines or ways. Wins come from the total count of a matching symbol anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, empty spaces refill, and tumbles repeat with no cap until no wins occur.
Bet placedTumble wins
1.25 times the bet is the Ante Bet stake, A$12.50 at the example top bet of A$10. Turning it on is an optional toggle in the left-hand panel, and it disables the Buy Feature button while ON.
Standard betDouble chance
100 times the bet buys the Free Spins, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 top example bet.

A$100 staked returns 96.49 or 96.60 percent on average over the long run, so the figure is an average, not a result. The version Bonsai Casino runs is shown in the game rules.

Sweet Bonanza grid
This block settles what a win, the base game and free spins look like.
Ready to spin
Many players lose track of their money mid-round, so each step shows what the balance does.
A$0.20 is the lowest stake and A$240 the highest, so the bet you pick sets every win and cost that follows. Examples in this guide use A$0.50, A$2 and A$10.
8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win. Counting happens when each spin or tumble step ends, so symbols need not line up.
6x5 grid tumbles repeat with no cap, removing paid symbols until no further wins occur. Multipliers appear only in free spins, so base game wins are not multiplied.
4 or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. Inside the round, 3 or more scatters add 5 spins, and multipliers from 2x to 100x appear only here.
A$10 is the example top bet, and each spin takes that stake from the balance. Set a limit before the first spin, since no session result is known in advance.
6x5 is the grid Sweet Bonanza plays on, and nothing on that grid tells you when the bonus round will come. How often the free spins start is not known in advance. One session can finish above or below where it started, whatever the RTP. Every spin is random, so a good run earlier in the session says nothing certain about the spins that follow.
Two RTP versions of Sweet Bonanza exist, and the one a player meets depends on the version run on this site. That choice appears only in the game rules. Read the rules before a session to see which return applies. The number tells you the long-run average, not what one visit will return.
21,100 times the stake is the largest win Sweet Bonanza can pay, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. The multiple stays the same at every bet, so a bigger stake raises the money at that ceiling. No figure in advance tells you when, or whether, a session gets near it.
Practise before paying
Bonsai Casino lets you try the game before you deposit any money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Bonsai Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Real money playBefore any spin
This block settles how the versions differ, trial stakes, RTP, the maximum win and bet sizes.
Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter has the largest maximum win in the series. The 1000 and 2500 editions have a lower maximum win, and Sweet Bonanza Xmas has the same one as Sweet Bonanza. Check the version name before you play, since each has its own RTP and maximum win.
Sweet Bonanza can be played from A$0.20, so a first session can run at the lowest stake while you learn the Tumble and the Free Spins. Raise the bet only once the rules feel clear to you.
RTP is the share of staked money the game returns over time, not a result for one session. Sweet Bonanza has the highest RTP of its series, and each version lists its own value in the versions table.
Sweet Bonanza pays up to x21,100 times the bet, so the cash amount depends on the stake you choose. Whether any round reaches that multiple cannot be known before you play.
Bets run from A$0.20 to A$240 a spin, and A$240 is the highest stake allowed here. The bet you choose sets the money value of every win, including the maximum win.
