Triggering Free Spins

Land 4 or more lollipop scatter symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid to trigger the Free Spins bonus. You receive 10 free spins plus a direct scatter cash pay (4 scatters = 150×, 5 = 250×, 6 = 5,000× stake). Landing more scatters gives a bigger cash prize but doesn't change the spin count.

Pragmatic Play's public game page does not publish an average trigger interval. Retrigger: landing 3 or more scatters during Free Spins adds +5 extra spins.

What Changes During Free Spins

The core cluster pay and tumble mechanics remain identical. The one critical change: the eight low-paying candy sweet symbols (blue and purple sweets) are replaced by multiplier bombs. These bombs land with random values:

Bomb Range
2×–100×
Values Combine
Additive
Value Odds
Not Public
Max Win
21,175×

How Multipliers Are Applied

This is the most misunderstood mechanic. Multiplier bombs that appear on screen during a tumble are summed, then applied to the win of that tumble. They do not multiply each other.

Example: A tumble produces a grape cluster win of 1× stake. Three multiplier bombs are visible: 25×, 50×, 100×. These add to 175×. The grape win of 1× is multiplied by 175× → 175× total win from that single tumble.

Bombs disappear after contributing to a tumble. New bombs can land in subsequent tumbles of the same free spin. The 10 free spins reset bombs each new spin.

What to Realistically Expect

Pragmatic Play does not publish a median or typical Free Spins result. Because Sweet Bonanza is high volatility, feature outcomes can vary substantially and should not be estimated from a small number of rounds.

Strategy During Free Spins

There is no decision-making during Free Spins — it plays automatically. Your only influence comes before the bonus: your bet size determines the absolute value of wins. A 100× bonus on a $0.20 bet returns $20; the same bonus on a $5 bet returns $500.

The practical tip: manage your bankroll so you can reach Free Spins consistently. A bonus on any bet level is better than no bonus because you ran out of funds.

Source note: Trigger, retrigger and multiplier rules were checked against Pragmatic Play's official Sweet Bonanza page. The provider does not publish probabilities for individual bomb values.
