Pragmatic Play · 2019
A 6x5 video slot from Pragmatic Play, themed on fruit and sweets, where wins form anywhere on the grid. Figures, bonus modes and rules follow below.
A 6x5 grid of Fruits and Sweets symbols makes up the board, and no paylines decide the wins. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid form a win, so the count decides, not the position. After each win, the paid symbols disappear, the rest fall down and empty spots refill, so one spin can chain several wins through the tumble.
Four or more SCATTER symbols start 10 free spins, and during those spins three or more scatters add 5 more. Only in free spins, MULTIPLIER symbols appear with values from 2x to 100x, and their total multiplies the win of a tumble sequence. Free spins use their own reel strips, so the round plays differently from the base game.

Round steps
After this you will know how a round runs, from bet to limit.
A$0.20 to A$240 is the bet range per spin. The examples on this page use A$0.50 and A$5, and you set your bet before the round starts.
8 matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win, with no paylines to line up. Winning symbols are paid and removed, and the rest fall to fill the gaps.
4 Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start the bonus. Tumble keeps repeating with no cap, and the multiplier appears only in free spins.
10 free spins start when 4 or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Three or more Scatters during the round add 5 more free spins.
A$240 is the highest bet, so set your session limit before the first spin. The result of a session cannot be known in advance.
Four parts to know
Most players first wonder how the free spins start, and what happens inside them.
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger the round and award 10 free spins. 3 or more scatters during the round award 5 additional free spins. Multiplier symbols worth 2x-100x appear only here, and at each tumble's end their summed values multiply the win.
Base gameBonus spins
10 free spins are awarded every time, whatever purchase bet level you choose. Pressing Buy Feature starts them at once, so the round does not wait for scatters.

Caught mid-round
Star Casino shows each stage of the round, so you see what you play before you bet.
100 times the bet is the price of the bonus buy, so at the A$5 example bet it comes to A$500 for 10 free spins.

A$100 staked is the base of RTP figures. RTP is the long-run share of stakes paid back. Single sessions can land well above or below it. The version Star Casino runs appears in the game rules.

| Variant 1 | 96.60% | Available |
| Variant 2 | 96.49% | Excluded |
Try it first
Useful when you are choosing between trying the game and playing for cash.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Star Casino account and players aged 18+.
Play real money96.60 per cent is the RTP of one version, a long-run figure across very many rounds. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. Two players on the same version can finish with very different balances after the same number of spins.
96.49 and 96.60 per cent are the two RTP versions of Sweet Bonanza. Which version we run is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first spin. The table shows each version's figure, not a promise about your session.
x21,100 is the highest multiple of the bet that Sweet Bonanza can pay, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. The money figure grows with the bet you place. Nobody can count on a ceiling like that when they sit down.

Sweet Bonanza questions
You will know the RTP, the volatility, and what bonus costs before placing a bet.
6x5 grid with medium volatility means wins come at a moderate pace, with long dry stretches possible between them. Winning symbols are paid and removed through the tumble feature, so one spin can chain several wins. Nobody can know in advance how a session will go.
96.60% is the higher RTP version, and 96.49% is the other, so the two sit just 0.11 points apart. RTP means the return over a very long run, not what a single session pays back. A session can end well above or below that figure.
21,100 times the stake is the maximum win of this slot. At the highest bet of A$240, that multiple equals A$5,064,000. The figure is a ceiling, and nobody can know in advance if a spin will get close to it.
A$0.20 is the minimum bet, so a short trial at the lowest stake costs little. The paytable shows payouts for a A$0.50 bet, which helps you read the figures before raising the stake. Keep each trial session short and set a limit first.
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger 10 free spins. 3 or more scatters during the round add 5 more free spins. Only this round uses the multiplier symbol, which carries a random value from 2x to 100x.
A$500 buys 10 free spins at the A$5 example bet. Each buy costs 100 times the bet you select, and it always awards 10 free spins. Turn the Ante Bet off first, because it disables the Buy Feature button while it is on.
