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.

The average trigger frequency is approximately once every 250–300 base game spins. Using Ante Bet roughly halves this. 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:

2× Bomb
~38%
5× Bomb
~28%
10× Bomb
~18%
25× Bomb
~10%
50× Bomb
~5%
100× Bomb
~1%

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

The median Free Spins result is approximately 15–40× your stake. This is the "average" experience. The mean (mathematical average) is significantly higher, skewed upward by rare but enormous wins.

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.

Free Spins FAQs

How many free spins does Sweet Bonanza give?
10 free spins to start, triggered by 4+ scatters. Landing 3+ scatters during Free Spins adds +5 extra spins as a retrigger.
Do multiplier bombs add or multiply?
They add. Three bombs of 25×, 50×, and 100× give a total multiplier of 175× — not 125,000×.
What is a typical free spins win?
The median result is approximately 15–40× stake. Most bonuses feel modest; the large wins are rare but real.
Can you retrigger?
Yes. Landing 3+ scatters during Free Spins adds +5 extra spins. The initial trigger requires 4+ scatters, but the in-bonus retrigger threshold is 3+.
How often does the 100× bomb appear?
Very rarely — approximately 1% of bomb instances. Multiple 100× bombs in one tumble (needed for max win) is an extremely rare event.
