Sweet Bonanza at 1xBet
1xBet carries Sweet Bonanza in its casino lobby — Pragmatic Play’s 2019 candy-themed release that’s stayed near the top of the scatter-pays genre for years. Every number below is taken directly from the game’s own seven-page rules screen, checked field by field, rather than pulled from a generic third-party summary — including a couple of details that get flattened or stated incorrectly almost everywhere else this game is written about.
How the Base Game Pays
The game runs on a fixed 6-reel, 5-row grid with no paylines. As the rules screen states directly: symbols pay anywhere on the screen, and the total number of a given symbol on screen at the end of a spin determines the win. When multiple symbols win on the same spin, all wins are added together.
Bets range from $0.20 to $300.00 per spin, confirmed directly on the rules screen — notably wider than the $0.20–$125 range commonly quoted for this game elsewhere, which appears to describe an older or regionally capped build rather than the current default configuration.

The Verified Paytable
Every value below comes directly from the in-client paytable at the game’s own $2.00 reference bet:
| Symbol | 12+ symbols | 10–11 symbols | 8–9 symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Heart | $100.00 (50x) | $50.00 (25x) | $20.00 (10x) |
| Purple Square | $50.00 (25x) | $20.00 (10x) | $5.00 (2.5x) |
| Green Pentagon | $30.00 (15x) | $10.00 (5x) | $4.00 (2x) |
| Blue Gem | $24.00 (12x) | $4.00 (2x) | $3.00 (1.5x) |
| Apple | $20.00 (10x) | $3.00 (1.5x) | $2.00 (1x) |
| Plum | $16.00 (8x) | $2.40 (1.2x) | $1.60 (0.8x) |
| Watermelon | $10.00 (5x) | $2.00 (1x) | $1.00 (0.5x) |
| Grapes | $8.00 (4x) | $1.80 (0.9x) | $0.80 (0.4x) |
| Banana | $4.00 (2x) | $1.50 (0.75x) | $0.50 (0.25x) |
The Red Heart sits alone at the top of the hierarchy — its 10–11 tier alone (25x) already matches the Purple Square’s best possible result (25x for 12+), a real two-tier gap above the rest of the board.
Scatter (Lollipop): present on all reels, pays on any position, with its own count-based payout running separately from the free spins trigger: 6 scatters pay $200.00 (100x), 5 pay $10.00 (5x), 4 pay $6.00 (3x). Landing the free spins trigger itself always comes with a direct cash payout before a single free spin is played.
There is no wild symbol in this game.
The Tumble Feature
After every winning spin, winning symbols are paid and removed. The remaining symbols fall to fill the gaps, new symbols drop from above, and the sequence repeats for as long as new wins keep forming — there’s no limit to the number of tumbles in a single sequence. All wins from every tumble in that chain are added to the balance only once the full sequence finishes, not tumble by tumble.

Free Spins: The Exact Mechanic, Corrected
This is the section where most write-ups of this game get a detail wrong, so it’s worth stating precisely, straight from the rules screen:
- Triggering the feature: 4 or more scatters landing anywhere on the screen award a flat 10 free spins to start the round. This number doesn’t scale upward if 5 or 6 scatters land on the triggering spin — what changes with a higher scatter count is only the direct cash payout (3x/5x/100x), not the spin total.
- Retriggering during the feature: landing 3 or more scatters at any point during the free spins round awards 5 additional free spins — a lower threshold than the initial trigger, and this is the correct number for retriggers specifically, not for the opening trigger.
- Multiplier symbols exist only during free spins — they’re not present in the base game at all — and stay on screen until the tumbling sequence they appear in fully resolves.
- The exact multiplier values, stated directly on the rules screen rather than as a vague “up to” range, are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 100x.
- When the tumbling sequence ends, every multiplier symbol visible on the screen at that moment has its value added together, and the combined total multiplies the entire win from that sequence.
- Special reels are in play specifically during the free spins round — confirmed directly on the rules screen, meaning the odds during the feature aren’t drawn from the same reel strips used in the base game.
Sweet Bonanza Gameplay
Ante Bet and Buy Feature: How the Two Modes Actually Differ
The rules screen describes two distinct bet configurations rather than a simple on/off toggle, and they’re mutually exclusive:
- Standard mode: the Buy Feature option is available, letting a player purchase the free spins round directly for 100x the total bet — at a $2.00 reference bet, this shows as a flat $200.00 buy-in on screen.
- Ante Bet mode: raises the total cost by 25% in exchange for doubling the natural chance of triggering free spins naturally, achieved by increasing scatter frequency on the reels. Activating Ante Bet disables the Buy Feature option entirely — the two can’t be used together.
RTP, Volatility, and the Real Max Win
The rules screen states RTP as a range rather than a single flat figure: maximum RTP of 96.60%, minimum RTP of 96.49% — the actual operator-configurable band for this specific build, worth checking against the info panel on whichever account it’s being played from, since it differs somewhat from the flatter “96.48%” figure commonly quoted for this game elsewhere.
Volatility is labeled directly on the rules screen as medium, described in the game’s own words as paying out steadily with a range of pays varying from low to very high — a notably different classification from the “high” or “5 out of 5” rating this game is often given in third-party write-ups, and worth taking at face value here since it comes straight from the source.
The maximum win is 21,100x the triggering bet — confirmed directly by the “WIN OVER 21,100X BET” banner displayed on the game’s own loading screen, not the 21,175x figure that circulates on some aggregator sites.
Sweet Bonanza Game Rules
Malfunction Clause and Free Spins Payout Timing
Two operational details stated directly on the rules screen:
- Malfunction voids all pays and plays for that round — a standard disclaimer worth knowing exists.
- Free spins winnings are credited to the balance only after the entire round completes — the total win recorded in game history for a free spins round reflects the whole cycle, not individual spins within it, so checking progress mid-round won’t show a running balance update until the last spin resolves.
A Worked Example: How the Multiplier Actually Stacks
Take a free spins round where two multiplier symbols land in the same tumbling sequence: one worth 20x, one worth 50x.
- At the end of that sequence, the two visible multiplier values are added together: 20x + 50x = 70x.
- If the winning cluster in that same sequence was a 12+ Red Heart cluster (50x the bet at a $2 reference bet, or $100.00), the final payout for that sequence is 50x × 70x = 3,500x the bet from that single tumble chain.
The practical read: it’s the sum of every multiplier symbol visible when a sequence resolves — not just the single highest one — that determines the final payout, which is why landing two mid-value multipliers alongside a large cluster can outperform expectations set by looking at either multiplier in isolation.

Interface and Controls
Taken directly from the game’s own interface guide:
- + and − buttons change the bet value and open the bet menu; clicking the CREDIT and BET labels toggles between a coins view and a cash view
- Spin-speed icon cycles between normal speed, quick spin, and turbo spin; holding the space bar triggers turbo spin directly
- Sound icon toggles all audio on or off
- Settings menu (gear icon) opens four toggles: Intro Screen, Ambient (background sound and music), Sound FX (effects specifically), and Game History
- Autoplay button opens a dedicated automatic-play menu; pressing it again mid-session stops the sequence immediately
