Symbols of fruit and sweets land on a 6x5 grid, and wins come from symbol counts instead of paylines. A win forms when eight or more matching symbols sit anywhere on the grid at the end of a step. Winning symbols pay out and vanish, the rest drop down, and new symbols fill the gaps. Tumbling repeats while new wins form, so one spin can run through several steps.
Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid start the free spins round with 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during that round add 5 more. Only that round brings the multiplier symbols, worth 2x to 100x, and the multipliers on the grid at the end of a tumble sequence add up before they multiply that sequence's win.

Know what happens
Shows the order of one round, from the bet you pick to the payout on the balance.
The grid waits for your stake, which can sit anywhere from A$0.20 to A$240. A higher bet raises every win by the same proportion.
Matching symbols pay wherever they land on the 6x5 grid, from eight of a kind. Winners vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop in until no win remains.
Each tumble can chain again, and all wins from one spin add up on the balance. Scatter symbols count anywhere on the grid, and four of them start the free spins.
Four or more scatters anywhere on the grid trigger 10 free spins on a special reel strip. Multipliers from 2x to 100x appear only in this round.
Each spin takes your bet from the balance, so A$0.20 stakes stretch further than A$240 ones. Decide your limit before the first spin.
Know the rules first
This block settles how each mode starts, what it gives, and what it costs.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger the feature and award 10 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more free spins. Special reel strips run in this round, and only here does the MULTIPLIER symbol appear, from 2x to 100x.
Base game10 free spins
The reels start 10 free spins when you buy the feature, whatever the purchase bet level. The price is 100 times the bet, which is A$200 at A$2. The button is greyed out while the Ante Bet is on.
Base game screen10 free spins
The reels fill a 6x5 grid with no paylines, and a win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the rest fall, and empty spots refill, repeating until no wins remain. All wins from one base spin add up together.
Placing a betWins added together
Each spin on the reels costs 1.25 times the bet when the Ante Bet toggle in the left-hand panel is on. At A$2 that makes A$2.50 per spin. While it is on, the Buy Feature button is disabled.
Standard betDouble Chance
Four or more scatter symbols on the grid start the free spins, and the reels decide when that happens. No spin count, streak or earlier result tells you when the next bonus round will come. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a long quiet run and a fast bonus can both happen on the same game.
Two RTP versions of the game spin on the reels, and which one Ocean96 runs is shown only in the game rules. The name of the game does not say which version you are playing, so check the rules before you place a bet.
Tumbles and free spin multipliers can push one spin far above its bet, yet the maximum win is a ceiling that very few rounds reach. Treat it as the limit of the table, not a number to expect. Higher bets raise the money at that ceiling, and the figures table shows how.
Sweet Bonanza basics
Ocean96 Casino puts the numbers first, so you can judge the game before you bet.
Wins on the reels can reach x21,100 times the bet, the largest prize this slot pays. At the A$2 example top bet, that comes to A$42,200. At the A$240 maximum bet, the same multiple pays A$5,064,000.
Each spin on the reels can be staked from A$0.20 up to A$240. The paytable is shown at A$0.50, and this page uses A$0.50 and A$2 as examples. Those examples are not the limits of the game.
Sweet Bonanza has medium volatility, so wins on the reels come at a moderate pace with sizes that vary from small to large. This sits between frequent small wins and rare large ones. How often the free spins come cannot be known in advance.
Returns on the reels are shown as two RTP settings, 96.49% and 96.60%, per A$100 staked. These percentages are a long-run average over many spins. A single session can finish above or below that average, and its result cannot be known in advance.
Other versions of the series change the maximum win and the RTP. Super Scatter reaches x50,000, while 1000 and 2500 reach x25,000. Xmas keeps the x21,100 maximum win of this slot, but its RTP is 96.49%.
On the reels, the paytable at A$0.50 shows what each symbol pays, so check it before the first real stake. Start at A$0.20, the lowest stake, so early spins cost the least. Every spin after that draws on your balance.
