Choose Sweet Bonanza if you want a fruit and candy theme on a 6x5 grid without paylines. Wins form from the total count of one symbol anywhere on the grid, and a win needs at least 8 matching symbols. Each paid win removes its symbols, the rest fall, and empty places refill from above. The tumble repeats until no win forms, and the wins of one spin are added to the balance.
Pick this slot if you want a bonus built on multipliers. Four or more scatters start the free spins round with 10 spins, and three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Only in the free spins round do multiplier symbols from 2x to 100x appear, and their values are summed at the end of a tumble sequence to multiply that sequence's win.
Sweet Bonanza, step by step
The usual worry is not knowing what a spin costs before pressing it.
Choose a bet between A$0.20 and A$240 before the first spin. Each spin is charged at that amount, and every win on the grid is paid in proportion to it.
Read the grid after each spin. A win forms when eight or more matching symbols sit anywhere on it, because there are no paylines to follow.
Watch for scatters on every spin. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall into the gaps, and tumbling repeats until no more wins occur. Multipliers wait for free spins.
Accept that nobody can predict the free spins. Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins, and three or more scatters during the round add 5 more.
Set your budget before the first spin and keep to it. Stop when the balance reaches that amount. If play stops feeling like a choice, call 1800 858 858.
Collect extra free spins
At Playamo, every bonus round is set out with its trigger and its rules before you play.
Aim for 4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to start the round, which awards 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 additional free spins. Special reel strips run only in this round, where MULTIPLIER symbols valued 2x-100x appear.

Set a bet and spin the 6x5 grid, a scatter-pays layout with no paylines or ways to win. Wins form from the total count of a matching symbol anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and tumbling repeats with no cap.

Switch on the Double Chance to Win Feature from the Ante Bet toggle in the left-hand panel. The toggle is optional. While it is ON, the Buy Feature button is disabled and greyed out, so switch it off to re-enable the button.

Decide before you spin: the Free Spins buy costs 100 times the bet, so at A$5 the price is A$500.
| Ante | Cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Feature, 100x the bet | x100 · A$500 | – |
Weigh the return before you stake: RTP is the share of A$100 staked that comes back to players over a long run, not per session. The version Playamo runs is listed in the game rules.

Four frames
Useful when you want to see the symbols and the free spins before choosing a bet.
Choosing to start a session means accepting that nobody knows when the bonus round will appear. How often it comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. The RTP describes the expected return across a very large number of spins, so it says little about any single visit. Set your stake with that uncertainty in mind.
Deciding which version to play starts in the game rules. The RTP version running in this lobby is shown only in those rules. Sweet Bonanza is offered with two RTP values, so read the rules before your first bet.
Hoping for the top prize means knowing the figure is a ceiling. The maximum win of Sweet Bonanza is 21,100 times the bet, and it is reached very rarely. Read that number as a limit on what one spin can return, not as a likely result.
Practise before staking
It settles whether the demo costs anything and what a real-money account requires before the first bet.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs a Playamo Casino account and you must be 18 or over.
PlaySweet Bonanza basics
Read this before choosing a bet size or placing the first spin on the lobby game.
Choose any bet from A$0.20 to A$240 per spin. The examples on this page use A$2 and A$5, but they are not the limits. Payouts scale with the bet you set, because the game expresses its maximum win as a multiple of the bet.
Check the RTP before you start: this game runs at 96.60 or 96.49 percent. Over a long run, each A$100 staked returns A$96.60 or A$96.49, depending on the version. A single session can return far more or less, so the figure does not predict your result.
Land four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid to start the round, which awards 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round award 5 additional free spins.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling of 21,100 times your bet, not a target. At the A$5 example bet, that ceiling is A$105,500. The top bet of A$240 has a ceiling of A$5,064,000.
Expect medium volatility, which sits between the low and high ends of the scale. Results come in uneven runs, so a session can be quiet or swing sharply. How often the free spins arrive and how a session ends cannot be known in advance.
