What happens in Sweet Bonanza 2500
The number in Sweet Bonanza 2500 names the largest candy bomb, not the game’s overall win limit. That distinction changes how the whole review should be read: the fruit pays first, tumbles build a subtotal, and the multiplier is applied to that subtotal. The six-column layout remains familiar, but the much larger bomb value creates a different feature profile from the original Sweet Bonanza.
Where the 2,500× bomb belongs
The provider places candy bomb multipliers in the free-spins feature. Read the bomb as a multiplier of the eligible tumble win, rather than a cash prize equal to 2,500 times the stake whenever its artwork appears. Multiple bombs in the same sequence are added before application. Multiplying every bomb by every other bomb would produce the wrong result.
The name does not identify a bonus offer
The game’s free spins are part of its rules. A casino promotion offering free spins is a separate product with its own stake, expiry and eligibility. A Sweet Bonanza 2500 listing should therefore be checked by full title and developer, especially in a lobby that also includes Sweet Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Super Scatter.
Sweet Bonanza 2500 compared with Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter
These two titles are connected by their feature family or the way their game states develop. The useful comparison is the specific rule in each row: a shared theme, jackpot label or provider does not make the two games interchangeable.

Sweet Bonanza 2500 screens and controls
Read the symbol field as a whole rather than tracing a conventional line. The multiplier display and the tumble or refill total explain different stages of the same sequence. A final total may include several groups that have already disappeared from the screen.
A count of symbols, not a path across reels
A winning group can be scattered around the board. Eight bananas do not need to touch, occupy one row or begin on the left. When a qualifying group disappears, replacement symbols fall into the empty positions. The next group belongs to the same paid spin, so a long tumble sequence should not be counted as a series of fresh stakes.
Read a result in Australian dollars
The following worked example isolates one operation so the calculation can be followed. The stake and values are constructed inputs, separate from any account promotion or recorded result.
A$1.60 × (5 + 20) = A$40.00. This constructed example explains addition before multiplication; it is not a recorded session.
Bomb values stay through a tumble sequence, then add together before the tumble total is multiplied. Three or more lollipops during free spins add five spins.
Use the mechanics table to decide which game to understand next. Then read any associated offer as a separate document. A title being present in a catalogue does not establish its contribution rate, free-spin stake or eligibility for a selected promotion. The offer comparison guides below explain those fields using worked examples.
How the game fits your shortlist
A useful pokies shortlist starts with the type of win the game recognises. Some titles count matching symbols anywhere, some require connected clusters, and others centre on a retained-coin feature. This Australian guide identifies the specific mechanism before comparing the bonus or the headline maximum.
Read the ordinary game and its feature as two related rule sets. The base layout tells you how an initial win forms; the feature description tells you what remains on screen, what changes and when the sequence finishes. This prevents a familiar theme from hiding a substantial difference in play structure.
When two games look similar, compare the exact trigger, the duration of multipliers and the layout used during the feature. Those fields are more informative than a generic “bonus included” label. The comparison section links to another individually documented game so the alternative can be assessed on the same terms.
What persists and what resets
A value that remains through a tumble is different from one that remains through an entire free-spins round. The developer’s persistence rule identifies the boundary. At that boundary, use the displayed settlement or reset rather than carrying a multiplier into the next paid spin by assumption. This is especially useful when comparing a base game with a feature that accumulates values.
Questions about Sweet Bonanza 2500
What starts the main feature?

What stays on screen during the feature?
Bomb values stay through a tumble sequence, then add together before the tumble total is multiplied. Three or more lollipops during free spins add five spins. This retained information explains why a later result may depend on earlier stages of the same feature.

96.52% on the provider page. The published prize reference is 25,000× total bet. Match both to the full game title and selected help-screen configuration.
How should an Australian-dollar example be read?
A$ denotes Australian dollars in this article’s constructed calculations. The actual game can display another account currency. Use the currency code and the total stake shown by that game when translating a stake-based value.
