The free-spins round is the whole point of Sweet Bonanza 2500. The base game pays from tumbling, pay-anywhere wins, but the headline multipliers — up to ×2,500 on a single bomb — only exist inside free spins. This page explains exactly how you get there, what happens once you do, how the bombs build the big wins, and how the feature buys fit in.

How to trigger the free spins
There is one way to enter the round naturally: the lollipop scatter. Land 4 or more lollipops anywhere on the 6×5 grid in a single spin and you trigger 10 free spins. Because the game is pay-anywhere, the scatters do not need to be in any particular position — four or more, wherever they fall, is enough.
Once you are in the round, you can retrigger it by landing 3 or more scatters during a free spin, which adds further spins on top of the ones you have left. Retriggers are what turn a good round into a great one, because they give the bombs more chances to land.
What changes inside the round
The core mechanic carries over from the base game: wins still come from 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, and every win still tumbles, removing the winning symbols and dropping new ones in for another chance to pay. What is added is the multiplier bomb — a special symbol that appears only during free spins.
How the ×2,500 bombs work
This is the part worth understanding properly, because it is where the game's name comes from. Each multiplier bomb lands carrying a printed value somewhere between ×2 and ×2,500. Here is the sequence:
- A free spin plays out, with its tumbles resolving any symbol wins as usual.
- One or more bombs may land on the grid during that spin, each showing its own value.
- When the tumbles for that spin have finished, the values of every bomb on screen are added together.
- That combined multiplier is applied to the total win for the spin.
The key word is summed. If three bombs land showing ×10, ×25 and ×50, the multiplier applied is ×85, not three separate multipliers. Land several mid-value bombs across a tumble-rich spin — or, far more rarely, one of the giant bombs near the ×2,500 ceiling — and a spin that won a modest amount on symbols can be multiplied into something far larger. This accumulation, spin after spin across the round, is how the game reaches its 25,000× max win.
It is also why Sweet Bonanza 2500 is high volatility (5/5). The big outcomes depend on bombs landing in the right combination during the limited number of free spins, which does not happen often. Most rounds end far below the ceiling. The ×2,500 figure is a theoretical maximum, not an expectation — see RTP & volatility for what that means in practice.
Feature buys, Super Spins and Ante Bets
If you do not want to wait for four scatters, Sweet Bonanza 2500 offers paid shortcuts where the operator and jurisdiction allow them:
- Three feature buys — priced at 100×, 500× and 1000× your bet — that purchase direct entry to the free-spins round.
- Two Super Spin options and two Ante Bet levels that adjust your odds of triggering the feature for an increased stake.
A few honest points. Feature buys are not available at every casino, and some jurisdictions prohibit them entirely. Buying a feature does not improve the long-run RTP in your favour — it simply trades a fixed, known cost for guaranteed access to the round, which can be expensive and just as volatile once you are inside. And the bombs still only sum within free spins; nothing combines them outside the round. Treat buys as a convenience, not an edge.
Before you chase the bombs
The free-spins round is genuinely exciting, but the math of the game still favours the house over time, and the giant multipliers are rare by design. Set a budget before you play, do not chase a round that has not come, and learn the rhythm risk-free in the demo first.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do you get free spins in Sweet Bonanza 2500? Land 4 or more lollipop scatters anywhere on the grid in a single spin to trigger 10 free spins. You can retrigger with 3 or more scatters during the round.
How many free spins do you get? You start with 10 free spins. Retriggers from 3 or more scatters add more on top, so the round can run longer than ten spins.
How do the multiplier bombs work? Bombs appear only in free spins, each printed with a value from ×2 to ×2,500. At the end of a spin, all bomb values on screen are summed and applied to that spin's total win.
Do the bomb multipliers add up or multiply each other? They add together. Bombs of ×10, ×25 and ×50 give a combined ×85 applied to the spin's win — not three separate multipliers.
What are the feature buys? Where offered, three feature buys (100×, 500×, 1000×) let you pay a fixed cost for direct entry to the free spins. There are also two Super Spins and two Ante Bets. None of them improves the long-run RTP.
Are feature buys available everywhere? No. Feature buys depend on the casino and the jurisdiction — some operators do not offer them and some regions prohibit them. Check the game at your casino.
