Spin. Eight or more matching sweets or fruits anywhere pay.
Winners are removed and more fall in.
Four lollipops start ten free spins, where bombs multiply wins.

The mechanic

The tumble works as on other grid slots. What sets it apart is the free spins: rainbow bombs worth 2x to 100x stay on screen until the tumbles finish, then their values are added together and applied to the total win. More on tumbling reels.

The maths

Sweet Bonanza returns 96.48% to 96.51% of stakes over the very long run by default, which is a house edge of 3.52%. Its high volatility describes how unevenly that return arrives.

Pace	Spins in an hour	Staked at 20p	Long-run average cost
Relaxed, one spin every 6 seconds	600	£120	£4.22
Fastest allowed, every 2.5 seconds	1,440	£288	£10.14

Averages over millions of spins. One hour can end far above or below.

Theme and look

A pastel sweet shop: lollipops, hearts, grapes and bananas on a candy-floss backdrop.

Good to know

Sources quote 96.48% and 96.51%; we show the range.
Maximum win 21,100x, the highest here.
The feature cannot be bought in Britain.
UK stakes stop at £5 a spin (£2 for ages 18 to 24), with no autoplay.

Our view

Huge ceiling, wide swings. Its ordinary spins are flatter than Gates of Olympus because the multipliers wait for the feature.

A typical session

A typical session has plenty of small tumbles and long gaps between features. In free spins, a round with no bombs pays little, a round with a few small ones pays moderately, and the rare round where large bombs land on a big tumble is where the 21,100x ceiling comes from.
