Sweet Bonanza has been one of the most played slots in UK lobbies for years, and Sweet Bonanza 2500 is Pragmatic Play’s high-multiplier take on it. The structure is the one regular players already know: a 6x5 grid of fruit and sweets, wins for eight or more matching symbols anywhere, and tumbles that keep a spin going. The difference is in the free spins, where the multiplier bombs are tuned for a higher ceiling. Because versions and configurations vary, we describe the game carefully here and recommend reading the in-game info panel for exact values.
Overview
The grid has six reels and five rows, with no paylines at all. A win forms whenever eight or more of the same symbol land anywhere on screen. Winning symbols vanish, new ones fall into place, and the chain continues until nothing new connects. That tumble mechanic is what made the original so popular, and it carries over unchanged.
The “2500” in the title signals a higher multiplier ceiling than the original game. As we understand it, the bonus multipliers can reach far larger values than before, and the maximum win is listed at up to 25,000x your stake. Check the info panel in the version you load to confirm the top multiplier value and the max win.
How It Plays
Each spin fills the grid, pays any qualifying groups and then tumbles. A single spin can produce three or four connected wins in a row, which makes the base game feel more active than many high-volatility slots. Most base-game wins are modest, though, and the bulk of the game’s value is held in free spins.
Like all slots on GB-facing sites, spins run at the minimum speed required by UK game design rules, and autoplay is restricted.
Symbols and Paytable
Payouts rise with the number of matching symbols: 8–9, 10–11 and 12 or more. The table shows relative tiers; the in-game paytable gives exact values for your stake.
| Symbol | Tier | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Red heart sweet | Premium | The top pay; 12 or more is the biggest symbol win |
| Purple, green and blue sweets | High | Strong pays in larger groups |
| Apple, plum and watermelon | Medium | Regular mid-sized wins |
| Grapes and banana | Low | The most common symbols; frequent small pays |
| Lollipop | Scatter | Four or more trigger free spins |
| Multiplier bomb | Bonus only | Lands in free spins; adds its value to the tumble chain total |
Bonus Features
Free Spins
Four or more lollipop scatters anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. Scatters also pay a direct prize when they trigger the round, with more scatters paying more.
Multiplier Bombs
During free spins, multiplier bombs can drop onto the grid. When a tumble chain ends, the values of all bombs on screen are added together and applied to the total win from that chain. Several bombs in one sequence is where the big results come from. In the 2500 version, the bomb values are tuned higher than in the original, which is the main reason for the bigger listed max win.
Retriggers
Three or more scatters during the round add extra free spins, typically 5 at a time. Retriggers can extend a round considerably.
No Feature Buy in the UK
Some markets allow direct entry to the bonus, and some versions add an ante bet to raise scatter chances. The feature-buy option is not offered to British players, and any stake-raising side options are limited by UK rules. Free spins arrive through natural scatter landings only.
RTP and Volatility
The RTP is listed at around 96.5%, a touch above the floor average of about 96.2%. Volatility is high. Expect the base game to tick along with small tumble wins and the free spins to decide most sessions. The listed 25,000x max win depends on several large bombs landing together on a long tumble chain, which is a rare event.
The info panel is the place to confirm the RTP configuration, the top bomb value and the max win for the version you are playing.
Playing It on Mobile
Sweet Bonanza was built with phones in mind, and the 2500 version is no different. The grid reorganises neatly in portrait mode, the candy symbols are bright and easy to tell apart, and the bomb values are readable at a glance. It runs in iOS Safari and Android Chrome without any download, and you can pin the site to your home screen for one-tap access.

Our Verdict
Sweet Bonanza 2500 earns 8.6 out of 10. It keeps everything that made the original a favourite, the scatter pays, the tumbles and the explosive multiplier bombs, and raises the ceiling for players who want more swing. We mark it down slightly because the changes are subtle outside free spins, and the higher volatility will not suit every budget. Read the info panel before you play and treat it as the high-risk member of the family.
