Slot Terms Glossary
Key terms used throughout this site, explained with examples from Sweet Bonanza 1000.
RTP (Return to Player)
The percentage of all wagered money a slot returns over millions of spins. Sweet Bonanza 1000 base RTP is 96.53%, meaning a theoretical €3.47 loss per €100 wagered.
Volatility
How spread out the payouts are. High volatility (5/5 in this game) means wins come less often but tend to be larger. Low volatility means frequent small wins.
Scatter
A special symbol that pays regardless of position on the grid. In Sweet Bonanza 1000, the lollipop scatter triggers free spins when 4+ land in one spin.
Wild
A symbol that substitutes for others. Sweet Bonanza 1000 does not have wild symbols — it uses multiplier bombs instead.
Multiplier
A value that multiplies your win. In this game, multiplier bombs appear during free spins with values from ×2 to ×1,000. Multiple bombs in one sequence add together.
Free Spins
Bonus rounds where you spin without paying. Triggered by 4+ scatters or purchased via Bonus Buy. This is where multiplier bombs appear.
Bonus Buy
Paying a fixed amount (100× or 500× your stake) to skip to free spins immediately instead of waiting for scatter triggers.
Ante Bet
An optional +25% stake increase that doubles the probability of triggering free spins naturally. Cannot be combined with Bonus Buy.
Hit Rate
The percentage of spins that produce any win. Sweet Bonanza 1000 hit rate is 42.92%, meaning roughly 4 in 10 spins return something.
Paylines
Fixed lines where matching symbols must land. Sweet Bonanza 1000 has no paylines — it uses Scatter Pays instead.
Grid
The reel layout. This game uses a 6×5 grid (6 reels, 5 rows) with 30 symbol positions per spin.
Cascade / Tumble
After a win, winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in from above. This can create chain reactions of multiple wins from one paid spin.
Max Win
The highest possible payout from a single spin or bonus round. Sweet Bonanza 1000 caps at 25,000× your stake.
Gamble Feature
A double-or-nothing option after a win. Sweet Bonanza 1000 does not include a gamble feature.
