Gameplay
Sweet Bonanza is a six-reel, five-row slot.
Wins are based on the number of each symbol on the screen after a spin, with payouts depending on the quantity and value of the symbols.
The cascade feature causes winning symbols to disappear, allowing new symbols to drop down and fill the empty spaces, with no limit on the number of cascades.
The Ante Bet option increases the player’s bet per spin, resulting in more Scatters on the reels.
Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins
There is no Wild symbol in Sweet Bonanza.
The Scatter symbol can appear on any reel and pays in any position.
Landing 4 or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins Feature, which can also be purchased. The round starts with 10 free spins, with an additional 5 spins awarded if 3 or more Scatters land during the round.
The Multiplier symbol appears only during free spins. When it lands, it stays on the reels until the end of the cascade series, with a random multiplier value between x2 and x100.
At the end of the cascades, all multiplier values are added together and applied to the total win.
