If you want a sweet game with fruit and candy symbols, you will play on a 6x5 grid where nothing needs to sit on a payline. Symbols pay anywhere on the grid. You need at least 8 matching symbols to win. When a win lands, the Tumble Feature removes those symbols and drops new ones in, so one spin can cascade again and again.
If you know other Pragmatic Play titles, the Free Spins round is where this one stands apart. Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins, and three or more scatters during that mode add 5 more. Multiplier bombs appear only in free spins, carrying values from 2x to 1000x that multiply each tumble sequence's win.
Choosing a buy means paying a multiple of the bet, so the price follows your stake; the table shows money at the top example bet.
| Add-on | Cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$200 | – |
| Buy Super Free Spins | x500 · A$1,000 | – |
Before you stake, check the RTP: it is the share of each A$100 staked the game pays back over time. It does not predict one session, and the game rules show which version this site runs.
| Edition | RTP | Factory setting |

| Version 1 | 96.55% | Nil |
| Version 2 | 96.53% | Yes |
| Version 3 | 96.52% | Nil |

Bonus rules
The worry this block removes: not knowing when a bonus starts or what it costs.
Keep spinning: four or more scatters anywhere start this mode with 10 free spins. Three or more scatters mid-round retrigger it for 5 more spins. Multiplier bombs appear only here, worth a random 2x to 1000x each. Bombs in one tumble sequence are summed and multiply its win.
Base game spin10 free spins
Pay 100x the total bet to start this mode straight away. The purchase ensures four or more scatters on the triggering spin, which opens the standard round of 10 free spins. Bombs in that round take random values from 2x to 1000x.
Base gameFree spins now
Choose the 500x total bet purchase if you want every bomb worth at least 20x. The triggering spin will show four or more scatters. Every multiplier bomb in the round carries a minimum of 20x, up to 1000x. Mid-round, three or more scatters still retrigger.
Base game betBombs from 20x
Spin the 6 reels x 5 rows grid. Symbols pay anywhere, with no paylines, from a minimum of 8 matches. The Tumble Feature removes winning symbols, drops new ones in, and continues with no cap on cascades. All tumble wins from one spin are summed together.

Round guide
The worry about not knowing what happens next in a round ends with the five steps below.
Pick a total bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before any spin. Every win is a multiple of that bet, so a larger stake scales each payout.
Look for eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid, as no paylines apply. Winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in, so one spin can cascade.
Watch for Tumble and Scatter in the base game, with no multiplier bombs on the reels. The swirl lollipop Scatter is the symbol that counts toward Free Spins.
Land four Scatter symbols anywhere and the Free Spins begin with ten spins. Multiplier bombs then appear, each taking a random value from 2x to 1000x.
Set your budget before any round starts, because no session result can be known in advance. Stop once it is spent or call the helpline on 1800 858 858 for support.
Two paths to play
This section shows what a trial lets you check, and what a real money account adds.
Pick the demo to learn the reels without staking money, though it pays nothing. Real play needs a Live Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
PlayDecide your session budget before the first spin, because how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a high RTP version does not promise a win in any single session.
Check the game rules before you set your stake, because the RTP version that Live Casino runs for this slot is shown only there. Do not assume the version you saw last time is the one running today.
Read the maximum win as a ceiling for Sweet Bonanza 1000, not as a target, because it is reached very rarely. High volatility means the gap between small and large results is wide, and a round can end far below the top figure.
Five Alternatives
Compare these five titles to see which one matches the pace and risk you want.
Know what to expect
Useful when you have the lobby open and want the key facts before placing your first bet.
If you want larger swings in your balance, weigh the high volatility of this slot first. Wins can be big, but they come with long stretches between them. No one can know in advance when a win will land or how long a session will last.
If you are choosing a stake, the smallest bet is A$0.20 and the largest is A$240. The example bets on this page are A$1 and A$2, and they are not the limits. Pick a bet that keeps each spin comfortable within your budget.
Before you pick a version, compare the series, since each one has its own RTP and maximum win. Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter has a higher maximum win than this version. Check the versions table for the RTP of each one.
If the top prize tempts you, know the ceiling first: the maximum win is 25,000 times the bet. At the highest bet of A$240, that is A$6,000,000. Nobody can know in advance whether a session will reach it, so treat it as a ceiling, not an expectation.
Deciding whether to try the game first is easier with the paytable open. It shows what each symbol pays at A$1. The lowest bet is A$0.20, so start small and raise your stake only when the grid and the Tumble Feature feel familiar.
Players must be 18+ to play this game. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin and keep to it, even when the balance rises or falls.
Decide your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a big win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits of your account so the cap is in place before you play.
When the game stops being fun, take a break. If you need more distance, self-exclude through BetStop.
