Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot

Sweet Bonanza 1000 in brief

If you know the original Sweet Bonanza, you already know how this game looks and moves: fruit and sweets on a 6x5 grid, wins for eight or more of a kind anywhere, and symbols that tumble away after each win. The 1000 edition keeps all of that. What changes is the free spins round, where Rainbow Bombs can now be worth up to 1,000x, and the cap, which rises to 25,000x stake.

The trade-off is the usual one for Pragmatic Play’s ‘1000’ remakes. More of the game’s return is pushed into rare, very large outcomes, so the experience between bonuses is leaner and the swings are wider. The developer rates it 5 out of 5 for volatility. The Sweet Bonanza series page lists every version side by side.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 specs and RTP versions

The three RTP figures are all versions of the same game. Pragmatic Play lets each casino choose one, so the same title can be noticeably cheaper at one site than another. The section on cost below shows how much that choice is worth. For an independent summary of the feature set, see OLBG’s Sweet Bonanza 1000 review (opens in a new tab).

How the features work in Sweet Bonanza 1000

Pays anywhere and unlimited tumbles

The game pays when eight or more of the same symbol appear anywhere on the grid, with no lines to follow. After a win, the winning symbols are removed and the gaps fill from above. That can create a fresh win, which tumbles again, and there’s no limit on how many times this can repeat within one spin. The sequence ends only when a refill produces no new winning group. Our cascading reels guide covers the mechanic in general.

Lollipop scatters and free spins

Four or more lollipop scatters landing anywhere trigger 10 free spins. During the round, three or more scatters award five additional spins, so the feature can run beyond its starting count.

Rainbow Bombs

Rainbow Bomb multipliers appear during free spins, each carrying a value from 2x to 1,000x. When a tumble sequence finishes, all the bomb values that landed during it are added together, and that total multiplies the sequence’s combined win. The bombs are described as applying to that sequence’s win, whereas in Starlight Princess 1000 multipliers build a running total across the whole round; the help screen spells out the exact rule.

Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players, so Sweet Bonanza 1000’s free spins can only be triggered through normal play in the UK.

Rainbow Bomb maths: one tumble sequence worked through

The values below are made up to show how the addition works; they are not taken from the game’s paytable. Imagine a free spin at a £1 stake in which a tumble sequence pays £3 in total before any multiplier.

Two lessons stand out. First, small bombs add up slowly: three of them here only reach 30x. Second, the top-end bombs dominate the maths, which is exactly why the game is rated so volatile. A bomb with no winning tumble to apply to adds nothing at all, so a screen full of multipliers can still pay zero. Our page on slot multipliers compares additive bombs with the doubling spots in Sugar Rush 1000.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 RTP: what each version costs

The house edge is 100% minus the RTP, and expected loss is stake multiplied by the edge. Here are the three versions priced against £100 and £500 of total stakes, the sort of turnover a longer session can rack up once wins are recycled.

On £500 of spins, the lowest version expects to cost £10.10 more than the highest, for an identical game. Over a single session your real result will usually be far from these averages in either direction, but the averages are what the game charges over time. See why some slots have different RTPs at different casinos and our RTP guide for the background.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 on a £20 budget

Using the 96.53% version, here’s what £20 looks like at three stakes. ‘Spins with no wins’ shows how quickly a dry run could finish the budget, which on a 5/5 volatility game is a realistic scenario rather than a worst case.

Because the value is concentrated in free spins, more spins mean more chances to see the round. That favours lower stakes if your aim is a longer session. Whatever the stake, decide in advance what you’re prepared to spend and stick to it. The guide to setting a budget and when to stop a session are worth a read.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 vs Sweet Bonanza and other versions

Interestingly, the jump in the cap is smaller here than with other ‘1000’ remakes, because the original Sweet Bonanza already allowed up to 21,100x. The top RTP is a fraction higher on the 1000 edition. If you want the live-dealer take on the same theme, there’s also Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, a game show rather than a slot.
