Choosing Sweet Bonanza means a 6x5 video slot with tumbling wins, fruit and candy symbols and a free spins round. This page covers how it pays.
Decide whether fruit and sweets on a 6x5 grid suit you before you spin. Sweet Bonanza has no paylines or ways to win. A win forms when 8 or more matching symbols sit anywhere on the grid at the end of a spin or tumble step. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and empty spaces refill from above, so one base spin can pay several times in a row.
Pick Sweet Bonanza for its free spins, which start when 4 or more scatter symbols land anywhere on the grid and award 10 spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 more, and the round runs on its own reel strips. Multiplier symbols, worth 2x to 100x, appear only in free spins, and their total multiplies each tumble sequence's win.

Four modes explained
Here you see how each bonus starts, what it does, and what the paid option costs.
Land 4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to get 10 free spins. During the round, 3 or more scatters award 5 additional free spins. Multiplier symbols, valued at 2x-100x, appear only here, and their sum multiplies a tumble sequence's win.
Base game spins10 free spins
Choose the Buy Feature to get 10 free spins for A$500 at an A$5 bet, which is 100x the bet. The award stays at 10 free spins at any purchase bet level. While the Ante Bet is on, the Buy Feature button is greyed out and disabled.
Before any spin10 free spins
Place your bet and wins form from one symbol's total count anywhere on the 6x5 grid, with no paylines or ways. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and tumbling repeats with no cap until no wins occur. All wins from one base spin go to the balance.
Placing a betTumbling wins
Turn the Ante Bet on with the toggle in the left-hand panel, which is also named the Double Chance to Win Feature. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the stake, so an A$5 bet becomes A$6.25. While it is on, the Buy Feature button is disabled.

Know each move
Most players want to know what the bet does and when a win is paid.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. Examples on this page use A$0.40, A$2 and A$5, so each win scales with the chosen bet.
Wins form from the total count of one symbol anywhere on the 6x5 grid, not along paylines. Eight matching symbols is the fewest that pay, and positions do not matter.
Paid symbols are removed and the rest fall to refill the grid. Tumbles repeat with no cap until no win is left. Multiplier symbols do not appear in the base game.
4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid award 10 free spins. During the round, 3 or more Scatters add 5 more spins.
Decide your session limit before the first spin, and stop when you reach it. The result of a session cannot be known in advance.
Two versions to compare
Most players worry that learning the rules will cost them real money before they understand them.
Start in the demo to learn the rules; it needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
Play for realDeciding how much to stake on Sweet Bonanza means accepting that the bonus round cannot be timed. How often the free spins come is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. The RTP describes the return over a very large number of rounds, not the outcome of your own evening.
Before you stake, decide whether the RTP version matters to you, then read the game rules. Which RTP version Fairgo Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so that is where to check it before you stake.
Do not plan a session around the maximum win of x21,100 times the bet. That figure is a ceiling, and reaching it is very rare. At the A$5 example bet, that ceiling is A$105,500, and it is not an expected result.
Players must be 18+ to play Sweet Bonanza. Help is available through the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you open Sweet Bonanza, and stop when it is spent. Treat each bet as money spent, not money to win back.
Choose your stop point before the first spin, and keep it after a win too. Winning does not mean the session should go on.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you start a session. Set them at a level you can lose without changing how you play.
When Sweet Bonanza stops being fun, pause your play. If it feels out of control, self-exclude through BetStop or call the helpline listed above.

Sweet Bonanza questions
The answers below settle volatility, maximum win, bets, bonus costs and version differences before you play.
Sweet Bonanza has medium volatility. Medium volatility means wins vary in size and frequency from spin to spin. Volatility describes the pattern of wins, so it cannot show when the free spins will arrive, and no one can know that before a session starts.
The maximum win is 21,100 times the bet. At the highest bet of A$240, that is A$5,064,000. The figure is a ceiling on one spin, not an expected result, and no one can predict when a win that size will land.
Yes. The Buy Feature costs 100 times the bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet, and always awards 10 free spins. Switch the Ante Bet off first, because it disables the Buy Feature button. The outcome of the bought round cannot be known in advance.
Bets start at A$0.20 and go up to A$240, the highest bet allowed here. A$0.40, A$2 and A$5 are example bets used on this page, not the limits of the game. The Ante Bet costs 1.25 times the bet, so the A$5 example bet costs A$6.25 with the Ante Bet on.
This version has RTP 96.60, the highest in the series, and a maximum win of 21,100 times the bet. Sweet Bonanza Xmas has a lower RTP, 96.49, with the same maximum win. The other versions, such as Sweet Bonanza 1000, differ in both figures.
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger the free spins, and the round awards 10 free spins. During the round, three or more scatters award 5 more spins. The round uses its own reel strips, and the multiplier symbol appears only there.
