Sweet Bonanza

Sweet Bonanza is a 6-reel, 5-row slot by Pragmatic Play, released in 2019. Its published return to player is 96.48% and the provider rates its volatility as medium.

How Sweet Bonanza plays

Wins come from 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid, with tumbles replacing winning symbols. Four to six lollipop scatters award 10 free spins; during these, bomb multipliers worth 2x to 100x can land and their values are added together and applied at the end of a tumble sequence.

Theme: Sweets and fruit. Filed under Sweets and candy, Fruit and classic.

Features in this game

  • Pay anywhere: A pay system where enough of the same symbol anywhere on the screen wins, with no need to be adjacent or on a line.
  • Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
  • Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.48% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.52%, so every £100 staked costs £3.52 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.04, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.

Several versionsPragmatic Play offers Sweet Bonanza at 96.48%, 96.49%, 96.6%. The casino picks one. The difference matters: over £1,000 of stakes, 96.6% and 96.48% differ by £1.20 in expected cost.

The provider rates volatility as Medium. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
