Theme and Design
Sticking To The Same Design Style As The Original Game
There are no surprises in store in Sweet Bonanza 1000. This game looks very much like the original. The backdrop is a carnival of sugar candy, sweets, brightly-colored icing and chocolates, whilst the grid itself is stacked with fruits and sweets. The soundtrack is an upbeat plinky-plonk piano number with suitably fun vibes. You’ll either love it or hate it!

RTP and Variance
Sweet Bonanza 1000 has 3 RTP rates – 96.53%, 95.52% and 94.51%. It is as the slot site operator’s discretion to choose which rate to set the game to. In truth there is not much between those rates but you should always try to play at casinos where the RTP is at the optimum setting to give yourself the best chance of a positive return on your wagering.
You can check the RTP wherever you play by hitting the ‘I’ button under the reels, then scrolling through until you see Game Rules. Scroll down that page until you see ‘Return to Player’. I have round that MrQ from Lindar Media consistently runs slots at their maximum RTP rates.
Just like the original Sweet Bonanza game, this 1000 version runs at a high variance so it will be a volatile play. But it certainly has the potential to kick out some big wins as we will see.
Maximum Win
The top payout in Sweet Bonanza 1000 is 25,000x. That is very good and marginally better than the 21,175x on offer in the first version. You can find more Pragmatic Play slots with big potential in our list of their highest max win games.
Symbols and Paytable
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is a scatter pays slot. That means wins are triggered by landing 8 or more identical symbols ANYWHERE on the grid. You can form scatter wins with 12 or more identical symbols for big, big payouts.

The symbols are made up of fruits and sweets and there are 9 in all. The low pay ones are the fruits – banana, grapes, melons, plums and apples. These are valued at from 0.25x for 8 bananas up to 10x for 12 or more apples. The premiums are the blue, green, purple and red sweets valued at from 1.5x for 8 blues up to 50x for 12 or more red heart sweets.
Unusually for a Pragmatic Play slot there are no wilds Sweet Bonanza 1000.
Features and Gameplay
If you are a fan of Sweet Bonanza you’ll enjoy 1000 because it essentially the same game, albeit with bigger numbers. Tumbles, free spins and multipliers drive the action. Here is how it works.
Tumble Wins
A regular feature of scatter and cluster pays slots is Tumble Wins. After each win, winning symbols are removed from the grid and existing ones drop down to fill the gaps. Remaining spaces are filled with new symbols that drop onto the grid from above. If this creates more wins, then the process repeats, without limit, until no more wins are triggered.
Free Spins With Multipliers
The main even is the free spins round. This is triggered by 4 or more the scatter symbols landing anywhere on the grid on one spin. The scatter is represented by the swirly lolly pop and it also pays out 6x, 10x or 200x for 4, 5 or 6 dropping at once.
During free spins you need to look out for the multiplier symbol, represented by the swirly candy bomb. It carries a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 1,000x. When it drops it will stay on the grid throughout the current tumble sequence. When that sequence ends, ALL visible multipliers are added together before being applied to the total win.
And finally … the free spins round is extended by landing 3 or more scatters on any of your free plays. That gets you 5 more spins each time.
Final Verdict
Sweet Bonanza is one of Pragmatic Play’s stronger slot brands so its worthy of sequel. However, little has been done to add to the simple gameplay of the original. Instead, SB 1000 is ALL about the higher volatility and bigger max win. So, despite it’s sweet exterior, it is potentially a very tough play and its worth going in with your eyes open. Its fun, and slots play couldn’t get any easier, but it will burn you too. So beware!
Testing Notes
I played 250 spins on Sweet Bonanza 1000 on Pragmatic Play’s test server prior to release to test the game. This is what happened.
- Stake Size: $1
- Start balance: $100,000
- End balance: $99,937.90
- Hit Rate: 39.6% (99 winning spins in 250)
- Biggest Win: 10.2x
- Free Spins Round: 0
Yes, you will either love it or hate it, because Sweet Bonanza 1000 can send you a little crazy if you play it too long. It’s got a hell of a win rate – almost 40% of my spins kicked out a win of some kind - and those tumbles just keep coming, yet the wins never really seem to amount to much because the pay table values are so small. Even so, you get the feeling you are ticking along nicely waiting for that free spins round to drop, then you check your balance and see that you’ve burned through some serious funds.

So, it was for me in this test session anyway which produced a max win of 10.2x and not a sniff of a free spins round. That could just be bad luck or maybe SB 1000’s high volatility making itself known. Either way it was a tough run and a lesson that you should be careful choosing your stake level when playing this one.
