Pragmatic Play · 2019
Sweet Bonanza is a 6x5 video slot from Pragmatic Play with fruit and sweet symbols. Read its figures here before you decide to spin.
Choose Sweet Bonanza if you want a fruit and sweets theme played on a 6x5 grid with no paylines. Wins form when at least 8 matching symbols land anywhere on the board, so position does not count. Each winning group pays, is removed, and the remaining symbols fall to fill the gaps. This tumbling repeats until no new wins appear, and all wins from one spin join your balance together.
Weigh the free spins against the base game, since the rules shift once the bonus begins. Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid trigger 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Multiplier symbols, worth 2x to 100x, appear only in this round, and their values add up before they multiply the win of that tumbling sequence.

Four Ways a Round Runs
The worry that the bonus round is a mystery drops away once each stage is named plainly.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the round with 10 free spins on special reel strips, and 3 or more scatters during those spins add 5 more. A MULTIPLIER symbol worth 2x to 100x shows up only here, and the values in view at the end of a tumble sequence are summed to boost that sequence.
Paying spin10 spins plus
Buying in hands you 10 free spins whatever the purchase level, and it stays greyed out whenever Ante Bet is on. At the A$10 example bet the price is A$1,000, a hundred times that stake, so the decision is best taken with a clear head.
Base reels10 spins bought
Six reels five rows deep, settled by symbol count rather than paylines or ways to win, so a matching set pays wherever it sits. Winners vanish, the rest fall and fresh symbols drop in, and that tumbling repeats until nothing more lands, with every win of one spin landing together.
Opening spinTumble payouts
Toggling Ante Bet in the left-hand panel lifts your stake to 1.25 times the usual amount, and Buy Feature switches off while it is on. At the A$10 example bet the staked figure becomes A$12.50, so make sure the extra buys what you expect before you commit.

Crownplay shows its slots the way they run, so you know the screen before you stake anything.
At the reels
This settles the order of a round, from picking a stake to the last tumble.
You set your stake anywhere from A$0.20 to A$240 before the reels move. Pick an amount you are happy to see leave your balance, then press spin.
Wins come from symbol counts, not lines: eight or more of one fruit or candy anywhere on the 6x5 grid pays. Winning symbols drop away, new ones fall in, and the payouts keep adding.
Nothing extra is triggered in the base spin. The anticipation sits in watching a scatter build toward four, so most spins end quietly and that is the normal rhythm.
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid open ten free spins. Three or more of them during that round add five more, and only there do the multiplier sweets appear.
A loss limit or a time limit decided before you start gives the session a shape you control. When you reach it, stop there and close the round.
The ante bet lifts your stake by 1.25 times, and buying the free spins costs 100 times the bet, so both scale with whatever you stake.

Every A$100 staked returns A$96.49 or A$96.60 over the long run, depending on the version in play. The one running here is printed in the game rules, so check it before spinning.

You decide to start a session, knowing that how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. Two players with the same stake can finish with very different balances. So plan each session around money you can afford to lose.
You want to know which RTP version Crownplay runs before you play. That detail is shown only in the game rules, so look there before the first spin. The rules name the version in use, and each version has its own RTP.
You look at the maximum win before you bet, and it is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Sweet Bonanza lists its top multiple of the bet, and the figure is the most the game can pay, not what a session is likely to return. Read it as the game's limit, not as a forecast.
What You Avoid
Four straight answers that remove the doubt you feel before the first spin.
Sweet Bonanza pays out at most 21,100 times your bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$211,000, and at the A$240 top bet it reaches A$5,064,000. That is the ceiling, not a forecast of what a session brings.
This is a medium-volatility game, so wins arrive in a steadier rhythm than a high-volatility slot. Many tumbling sequences pay modest amounts, and the largest results come from multiplier symbols that only appear in free spins.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid open the free spins round with 10 spins. During the round, three or more scatters award 5 additional spins, and only here does the multiplier symbol land.
Sweet Bonanza runs at 96.49% or 96.60%, depending on which version you load, so the two figures sit close together. Both describe a long-run average over millions of spins, never the return of one evening.

Set a budget before the first spin and treat it as today's only money. Decide the figure while you can still think clearly, then stick to it whatever the reels do.
Pick a stopping point before you start, and a second one for after a win. A run of tumbles and multipliers is exactly when it gets hard to leave.
Use the deposit limit and loss limit in your account settings. They hold you to a ceiling even when a late night pushes you to keep going.
Take a pause or self-exclude when the game no longer feels like entertainment. The decision is yours to make, and it gets easier the earlier you make it.
