Pick Sweet Bonanza if you want a video slot with a fruit and candy theme. The grid is a 6x5 grid with no paylines or ways to win. A win forms when at least 8 matching symbols land anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols pay out and disappear, the rest drop down, and new symbols fill the gaps. This tumble repeats until no more wins appear.
Go for Sweet Bonanza when you want the free spins round to matter. Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. During that round, three or more scatters add 5 more spins. Multiplier symbols, from 2x to 100x, appear only in free spins. Their values add up at the end of each tumbling sequence and multiply that win.

Five steps, one spin
You will have walked through one round of Sweet Bonanza, from setting a bet to closing the session.
You pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the first spin. The paytable lists its prices at A$0.20, and every win scales with the bet you choose.
You scan the grid for matches, since there are no paylines or ways. A win needs eight or more matching symbols anywhere on it after a spin or tumble step.
You watch Tumble repeat with no cap, as paid symbols are removed and the grid refills from above. Every win from that base spin is added to your balance together.
You land four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid, and 10 free spins begin. Multiplier symbols from 2x to 100x show up only in that round.
You set your budget and stopping point before the first spin, then stop when that point arrives. Need support? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Unsure how a bonus starts or what the paid options cost before the first spin?
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the free spins, and 10 spins are awarded. 3 or more scatters during the round award 5 additional free spins. Only this round shows MULTIPLIER symbols, worth 2x-100x, and their total multiplies the win of a tumbling sequence.

Buy Feature awards 10 free spins for 100x the bet, which is A$100 at the A$1 example bet. The award stays at 10 free spins whatever the purchase bet level.

Base Game plays on the 6x5 grid with no paylines or ways to win. 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid form a win. Winning symbols are removed, the rest fall, and tumbling repeats with no cap. All wins from one spin add to the balance together.

Ante Bet is an optional toggle in the left-hand panel. With it ON, the bet is multiplied by 1.25, so A$1.25 at the A$1 example bet. The Buy Feature button is disabled while it is ON.

Choosing to spin Sweet Bonanza means accepting that the free spins arrive at no fixed point. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version you pick. A short run can end flat, a long run can end below the start, and nothing on the screen tells you which.
Before you pick a bet, check the game rules for the RTP version that is running. Which RTP version Vegastars Casino runs is shown only in the game rules. Keep that figure in mind when you read the RTP table, because the table lists each version side by side.
Deciding to play for the top prize means knowing the maximum win is a ceiling, not a target. Hitting it is very rare, and the bet you choose does not make it more likely on any given spin.

Sweet Bonanza basics
The bet range, the demo question, volatility and top win, settled before you start.
Pick a stake from A$0.20 up to A$240, the lowest and highest bets allowed here. The paytable uses A$0.20, and the examples on this page go up to A$1.
Read the paytable first. It shows what each symbol pays at A$0.20, the minimum bet, so the payouts are clear before any stake goes in.
Plan for medium volatility, which means wins can come in uneven stretches rather than steadily. RTP is a long-run figure, so it says nothing about one session.
Decide your stake with the ceiling in mind, since the maximum win is 21,100 times the bet. At A$1 that comes to A$21,100, and this is the ceiling, not a typical result.
