Rtp

RTP (Return to Player) — the percentage of all wagered money a slot returns to players over millions of spins. Sweet Bonanza's RTP is 96.48%, meaning the house retains 3.52% on average. This is a long-term statistical number, not a per-session guarantee.

Volatility

Volatility — how spread out wins are. Low volatility means frequent small wins. High volatility means rare but larger wins. Sweet Bonanza is rated medium-high (3.5/5 by Pragmatic Play), placing it in the upper range but below extreme slots like Gates of Olympus.

Scatter

Scatter — a symbol that pays regardless of position on the grid. In Sweet Bonanza, the lollipop is the scatter. Landing 4+ triggers Free Spins.

Wild

Wild — a symbol that substitutes for others to complete wins. Sweet Bonanza has no wild symbol. All wins come from matching 8+ identical symbols.

Multiplier

Multiplier — a value that increases your win by a factor. Sweet Bonanza's multiplier bombs appear only during Free Spins, carrying values from ×2 to ×100.

Free spins

Free Spins — bonus rounds played at no cost to your balance. Sweet Bonanza awards 10 free spins when 4+ scatters land. 3+ scatters during the bonus add 5 more.

Bonus buy

Bonus Buy — a feature that lets you pay a fixed amount (100× stake in Sweet Bonanza) to instantly enter the Free Spins round instead of waiting for scatters.

Paylines

Paylines — fixed lines across reels where matching symbols must land. Sweet Bonanza uses no paylines — it uses Scatter Pays (Pay Anywhere) instead.
