Sweet Bonanza Dice Slot Review - Demo, RTP & Where to Play

A dice slot made for dice-only markets

Pragmatic Play did not make this game for Canada. Its news post about launching dice slots with Peppermill Casino in Belgium describes them as titles for markets that require dice-based games, and mentions signings in Peru and Austria in the same context. Sweet Bonanza Dice was live there by 17 July 2023. The provider's game page carries a later publication date, so the exact launch month is not on record.

Look at the rules and you find a re-skin rather than a new design. Compared with the original Sweet Bonanza, the dice version has:

• the same paytable, with every payout matching symbol for symbol;
• the same scatter-pays system, where eight or more of a kind anywhere on the grid win;
• the same free spins, ante bet and 100x buy;
• the same low volatility label in the game and the same "win over 21,100x bet" line on the intro screen.

Only the art changes. A red die with a white heart takes the top spot, followed by dice with crescent moons, stars and diamond pips, then five fruit dice. The scatter is a candy mallet and the multiplier is a jester girl. Those descriptions are ours; the game itself does not name its dice.

Why the provider page looks odd

If you go looking for the official page, the English address forwards to an Indonesian one, whose canonical points to Pragmatic's Asian site. It exists only in Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese. That page gives the RTP as 96.49% and the top win as more than 21,000x, slightly below the figure the game itself shows.

Can you play it at a Canadian casino?

The honest answer is: perhaps, but we could not confirm a single Canadian lobby that lists it by name. The list above is built from casinos whose provider lists include Pragmatic Play. That tells you the casino offers the studio's games, not that it chose this particular title, and dice slots were made with other markets in mind.

How to check before you deposit:

1. Search the lobby for "Sweet Bonanza Dice", not just "Sweet Bonanza", or the original and its other versions may fill the results.
2. Open the game and check its info screen for the RTP and the 21,100x line.
3. If it is not there, contact the casino's support. Do not deposit on the hope that it will be added.

Which sites are legal where you live

In Ontario, use only sites registered with the AGCO that operate under an agreement with iGaming Ontario; the minimum age is 19. Alberta's regulated market has been open since 13 July 2026, with operators registered by the AGLC and contracted with the Alberta iGaming Corporation, and you must be 18. Elsewhere the legal option is the province's own site, and offshore casinos are not licensed by any province. Manitoba and Quebec set the age at 18, the other provinces at 19. Our guide to legal online casinos covers each province.

How wins form on a grid of dice

There are no paylines. After each spin the game counts how many of each die are visible anywhere on the 30 positions. Eight or more of the same die is a win, and the payout depends on which band you reach:

• 8 or 9 of a kind: the lowest band, for example 10x the total bet for the red heart die;
• 10 or 11 of a kind: the middle band, 25x for the same die;
• 12 or more: the top band, 50x for the red heart die and 2x for the lowest fruit die.

Winning dice then vanish and new ones fall into the gaps. That is the tumble, and it repeats until a drop produces no new win. The rules set no limit on the number of tumbles, so one paid spin can turn into a chain of smaller wins.

The scatter pays on its own

The candy mallet can land on any reel and pays wherever it sits: 3x the bet for four, 5x for five and 100x for six. Four or more also start the free spins, which is where the game keeps most of its upside. Apart from the scatter, nothing on the grid pays below eight of a kind, so a low volatility label does not mean every spin wins.

The top payouts at the minimum stake

Multiples are easier to judge in money. At the demo's smallest bet of C$0.20, the paytable in the rules works out like this for the highest-paying symbols:

Six scatters at the same stake pay C$20 on top of starting free spins. Depending on the band, the red heart die pays 25 to 40 times as much as the magenta fruit die, so which dice form the cluster matters as much as how many land. Scale every figure in line with your own bet: at C$2, ten times the minimum, each amount is ten times larger. The full paytable, with all nine dice and the scatter, is in the table above and in the rules screen of the demo.

Free spins: where the jester multipliers come in

Four or more scatters give 10 free spins. During the round, three or more scatters add five more, and there is no published cap on how often that can happen. The rules add that special reels are in play during the feature.

The multiplier symbol only appears in free spins. Each one takes a random value from this set, read from the game's own configuration:

2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x

A multiplier stays on screen while the tumbles keep going. When the sequence ends, every multiplier visible is added together, and the total multiplies the win from that whole tumble sequence. Two symbols showing 5x and 20x make a 25x multiplier, not 100x. If a sequence lands multipliers but no win, they pay nothing.

How the top figure is reached

The 21,100x line on the intro screen is the game's own statement of its top win. Reaching it needs large clusters and big multipliers landing together, so treat it as the ceiling, not a target. Pragmatic does not publish the odds of reaching it. Our max win odds guide explains what a stated top win does and does not tell you.

Three RTP figures and what the extras cost

The game publishes different returns for different ways to play. The provider page uses 96.49%, the lowest of the three, which is also the ante figure. The base-bet figure from the game server is 96.51%, and buying free spins returns 96.60%, the highest. The casino can still choose a different build, so read the info screen inside the game.

The demo's limits run from C$0.20 to C$240 on the base bet, or C$300 with the ante on. Here is what each option costs at both ends, using only those limits and the multiples in the rules.

The ante bet doubles the chance of triggering free spins, but it also disables the buy, and its RTP is the lowest of the three. In the demo build we checked, a C$2 bet showed the buy at C$200 and the ante spin at C$2.50, which matches the multiples above. The UK build of the game has no buy at all, so a casino's version may not either. Before you buy with bonus money, read the bonus buy guide and your own bonus terms.

Dice version or the original?

Since the maths is identical, the choice comes down to two practical questions: which one your casino actually carries, and whether you prefer the look of dice over fruit. If your lobby has both, nothing in the published rules makes one pay differently from the other. If it has only the original, Sweet Bonanza follows the same published rules - just check its RTP build in the info screen.

The wider family is where the real differences sit. Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Sweet Bonanza 2500 are separate games with their own figures, and so is Sweet Bonanza Xmas. Pragmatic also made other dice titles, such as The Dog House Dice. Check each game's page for its own RTP and cap rather than assuming they match.

For players who enjoy cascading wins in general, our cluster pays slots page groups games that pay on clusters rather than lines, and the Pragmatic Play page lists everything we cover from the studio.

Getting the most from the Sweet Bonanza Dice demo

The free version is Pragmatic Play's own and runs with a play-money balance in Canadian dollars. No account or deposit is needed, and the rules screen inside it is the full rulebook. That makes it a good place to answer the questions the paytable cannot.

• How often do you see eight or more of one die? Watch fifty spins and count.
• How long does a tumble chain usually last before it stops?
• In free spins, how many multipliers land in a sequence that also wins?
• Does the ante's doubled chance of free spins feel worth 25% more per spin to you?

A demo cannot show you how a real balance behaves over months, and demo results are not a forecast. Low volatility still means losing streaks; the house edge is built into every spin. Set a budget and a time limit before you switch to real money, and see our responsible gambling page for the tools Canadian sites offer. More free games are on our free slots page.
