2024 saw the return of an iconic Pragmatic Play title when the highly anticipated Sweet Bonanza 1000 hit our screens. Fans of the original Sweet Bonanza, and there were plenty, will appreciate an upgraded math model while the game’s look and feel retain its core elements. The base gameplay is the same with the pay anywhere and tumble mechanic, but during the bonus round, there are 1000x the bet multipliers up for grabs.
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is a visual treat set in a colourful candy land filled with sweets and fruits. It’s pretty much a mirror image of the original. The symbols also feature sugary sweets, lollipops, treats, and familiar fruits. While the lollipop serves as the Scatter, there is no wild present.
Sweet Bonanza 1000 utilises the Scatter Pays mechanic, where winning combinations are formed by landing eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. The tumble feature triggers removing and replacing the winning symbols with new ones, potentially creating multiple wins on a single spin. It’s available to play on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices from as little as 20p up to £100 per spin.
The top-scoring RTP for Sweet Bonanza 1000 is 96.53%, much higher than the industry average; however, 95.52% and 94.51% are other options available. Sweet Bonanza 1000 volatility is high, with a max win of a whopping 25,000x the bet.
Sweet Bonanza Gameplay and Features
If you are a fan of the original, Sweet Bonanza 1000’s features, including Tumbles, Free Spins, an Ante Bet, and a Bonus Buy, will be familiar.
Tumble Feature
After a winning combination, winning symbols are removed, and new symbols fill the empty positions. The tumbles continue until no more wins occur. The Tumbles can lead to multiple wins on a single spin and prove highly lucrative.
Sweet Bonanza 1000 Free Spins
The Free Spins trigger when 4, 5 or 6 scatters land on a Tumble. You get 3x, 5x or 100x respectively and 10 free spins. Landing another 3 scatters retriggers the feature and awards 5 additional free spins.
During the free spins, the multiplier symbol lands on the reels with values ranging from 2x up to 1,000x. Whenever the multiplier symbol lands, it locks on the reels. The multiplier symbol values are then added together and applied to the total win at the end of the tumble.
Ante Bet and Bonus Buy
During any base game spin, the Ante Bet is activated for 25% extra per spin. Once active, the chances of triggering the free spins double, and the RTP is 96.50%.
Sweet Bonanza 1000 has a couple of bonus buys:
For 100x the bet, you’ll get 10 free spins.
For 500x the bet, you’ll get 10 free spins and a multiplier worth 20x the bet guaranteed on every spin.
Conclusion
Like many sequels of hugely popular slots, they need to bring something exciting to the table to beat off the success of its predecessor and Sweet Bonanza 1000 has done just that! You’ll not look back once you play the enhanced version, thanks to the upgraded math model and a max win of 25,000x the bet. The upgraded multipliers from 500x to 1000x are a huge bonus, and the Buy-in and Ante Bet allow high rollers to bag huge wins. If the original floats your boat, you’ll sail into the sunset with Sweet Bonanza 1000.
