Sweet Bonanza lays out a 6x5 grid of fruit and sweets. A win forms when eight or more matching symbols land anywhere on the grid, with no paylines or ways to count. Paid symbols vanish, the rest fall into place and new ones drop from above, so one spin can chain several wins. This Tumble mechanic repeats until no further win appears.
Land four or more scatters anywhere on the grid and 10 free spins begin. Three or more scatters during those spins add 5 more, so the round can keep going. Multiplier symbols appear only in free spins, with values from 2x to 100x. The total of those present at the end of a tumble sequence multiplies that sequence's win.

Know Each Step
Zodiac Casino lays out each round so you know what happens before you bet.
The reels spin once you set a stake between A$0.20 and A$240, with A$1 and A$10 as the example bets on this page.
Matching symbols that land anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win once eight or more appear together, with no paylines involved.
Each win clears off the reels and new symbols drop in, and Tumble repeats until no more wins form, with the Multiplier held back for free spins.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the bonus round with 10 free spins, played on special reel strips.
Reels keep turning until a round ends, so set your budget before the first spin and stop when it runs out.

Useful once scatters land on the grid, or when you want to see how a bonus starts.
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger Free Spins and award 10 free spins. 3 or more scatters during the round award 5 additional free spins. Special reel strips are used only in this round, where MULTIPLIER symbols with random values of 2x-100x appear.
Base Game spin10 free spins
Choose Buy Feature to start Free Spins directly. It always awards 10 free spins, whatever the purchase bet level. At the example top bet of A$10 the cost is A$1,000, which is 100x the bet. The button is disabled and greyed out while Ante Bet is ON.
Base Game betFree Spins now
Every spin starts here on a 6x5 grid with no paylines or ways. Wins form from a matching symbol's count anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, new ones refill. Tumbles repeat with no cap, and all wins from one spin add together.
Bet placedTumble wins
Turn on the Ante Bet toggle in the left-hand panel. Each bet rises by 1.25 times, so the example top bet of A$10 costs A$12.50 per spin. While it is ON, the Buy Feature button stays disabled and greyed out.
Before any spinDouble Chance
Each spin on the 6x5 grid starts fresh, and nothing on the reels tells you when four or more Scatter symbols will land together. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP.
The reels look the same whichever RTP version is running, so you cannot tell from the screen which one you have. Open the game rules before your first spin. The version in play is shown only in those rules.
Tumbles on the grid can chain win after win, and in free spins a multiplier can lift one sequence sharply. The maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely, so read it as the edge of the range rather than a likely result.
Before the First Bet
Use this when you want to see how the reels move before you put any money in.
The reels turn the same way in the demo, which needs no money and pays nothing. Real play needs a Zodiac Casino account and you must be 18+.
Play nowPlayers must be 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin and keep to it, even when the reels look close to a big win.
Decide when you will stop before the first spin, and keep that rule after a win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the cap is in place before the first spin.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and do not return to the reels to win back losses.
Other slot styles
Five other games reviewed here, from two providers, to weigh before you pick.
Know before spinning
Read this before your first spin, when the paytable and buy options are still unclear.
The base Sweet Bonanza pays back 96.60% and tops out at 21,100 times the bet. Sweet Bonanza Xmas keeps that ceiling but pays back 96.49%. The newer Sweet Bonanza 1000 and 2500 reach 25,000 times, while Super Scatter goes up to 50,000 times.
The maximum win is 21,100 times the bet, so the money figure grows with the stake. Multiplier symbols, which appear only in free spins, multiply the win of each tumbling sequence. Nobody can know in advance whether a session will come near that figure.
RTP is a long-run average based on A$100 staked, so it says nothing about one session. The base version shows 96.60%, while Xmas and the newer releases sit between 96.49% and 96.53%. Each version has its own figure, so check the version before you start.
The Buy Feature opens the Free Spins round straight away and always gives 10 free spins, whatever the bet level. Its price is 100 times the bet you select. Turning the Ante Bet on adds 25% to each stake and greys out the buy button.
Sweet Bonanza has medium volatility, which means wins come in a mix of sizes rather than one steady pattern. Tumbling wins repeat until no more wins occur, so one spin can pay several times. How often a large run lands cannot be known in advance.
Stakes run from A$0.20 up to A$240 per spin, the highest bet allowed here. The paytable is shown for A$1, and every payout scales in step with the bet you choose. The A$1 and A$10 examples on this page are only illustrations, not the limits.
