Released on the 3^rd of June 2024, nearly 5 years after the original game, the Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot takes you on a journey, again, to a sugary wonderland. With a sweets/food theme, the setting is a vibrant and colourful wonderful full of treats including fruit and candy.

With soft tones, the setting is a dreamland for those with a sweet tooth. Using the same graphics and visuals as Sweet Bonanza, it still reminds me of the California Gurls music video from Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg and Candy Crush. The soundtrack has changed but is still soft and pleasant.

Using the same symbol as its predecessor, you’ll see fruit and candy represented. This includes bananas, blueberries, watermelons, plums and red apples as the low-value symbols. Higher paying are blue rectangle, green polygon, purple square and red heart sweets. The red heart sweet symbol pays the most with 50 times your total bet awarded if 12 or more land on the grid simultaneously.

Finally, Sweet Bonanza 1000 comes with 2 special symbols. There is a Lollipop Scatter symbol that appears anywhere on the grid. 4 or more triggers the Free Spins feature as well as awarding a payout (up to 100 x bet for 6 in view). During the free spins, there is a Rainbow Bomb Multiplier symbol which contains a multiplier value up to 1000x. Below highlights all symbol payouts and functions:

• Banana: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 0.25, 0.75 or 2 x bet
• Grapes: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 0.4, 0.9 or 4 x bet
• Watermelon: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 0.5, 1 or 5 x bet
• Plum: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 0.8, 1.2 or 8 x bet
• Apple: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 1, 1.5 or 10 x bet
• Blue Sweet: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 1.5, 2 or 12 x bet
• Green Sweet: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 2, 5 or 15 x bet
• Purple Sweet: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 2.5, 10 or 25 x bet
• Red Sweet: 8-9, 10-11 or 12+ = 10, 25 or 50 x bet
• Lollipop Scatter: 4+ triggers Free Spins feature
• Rainbow Bomb Multiplier: multipliers up to 1000x during free spins

Sweet Bonanza 1000 Mobile

With Pragmatic Play creating all their slot games with HTML5 technology, Sweet Bonanza 1000 can be played on laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. Compatible with iOS, Android, MAC and Windows operating systems (as well as others), it’s perfect for smartphones due to a Portrait Mode that takes over the whole screen. You can of course play in landscape mode at mobile casino sites if you wish.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 has a quartet of bonus features. With tumbles, it’s all about the free spins where Rainbow Bomb Multipliers worth up to 1000x can land for a sugary overload.

Tumble

The Tumble feature comes into effect when you land a winning combination of 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning combinations are paid and all winning symbols explode and disappear from view. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the grid with the new empty positions replaced with new symbols tumbling from above.

Tumbling as it’s known will continue as long as winning combinations land. With no limit to the number of possible tumbles, this feature is known as Avalanches or Cascades in other slot games. Megaways slots by en large offer this extras.

Free Spins

Hitting 4 or more Lollipop Scatters anywhere in view will trigger the Free Spins feature. 4, 5 or 6 scatters will award a 3, 5 or 100 times bet payout respectively as well as 10 free spins to begin the feature with.

Unlike the base game, there is a Rainbow Bomb Multiplier symbol that appears during the free spins. Remaining on the grid until the end of the tumbling sequence, it will contain a random multiplier between 2x and 1000x.

When the tumbling sequence ends, the values of all Rainbow Bomb Multiplier symbols are combined and applied to your total win of the sequence. For example:  two 1000x Rainbow Bomb Multipliers would give you a 2000 x multiplier.

There’s also the chance to win unlimited additional free spins. 3 or more Lollipop Scatters will reward you with 5 extra free spins, with no limits.

Ante Bet

Available to all players, including those in the UK, there is an Ante Bet feature. Doubling your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature, extra Lollipop Scatter symbols will land on the grid on base game spins. It will cost you 25% more per spin (so £1.25 a spin for a £1 spin) with the RTP rate remaining the same.

Buy feature

Players outside the UK have 2 Bonus Buy options. You can buy your way into the free spins or the super free spins. All the details are below:

• Buy Free Spins: buy your way into the free spins for 100 times your total bet. The RTP increases to 96.52%.
• Buy Super Free Spins: this is the same as above but with all Rainbow Bomb Multipliers containing a minimum 20x multiplier value. Costing 500 times your total bet, the RTP rises to 96.55%.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 Slot

Rating: 4.5/5

The Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot game is bigger and better than its predecessor with a higher RTP rate, Rainbow Bomb Multipliers up to 1000x and bigger max wins of up to 25,000 x bet.

Chris Taylor

If you’ve played the original game, you’ll know what to expect from the Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot. With the first outing claiming its place as the most popular amongst UK players, the 1000 version is bound to be just as well received.

Aesthetically soothing and satisfying, the gameplay also remains identical to the original slot. With tumbles giving you successive wins, it’s all about the Free Spins feature where Rainbow Bomb Multipliers contain multipliers up to 1000x. If you land 2 or more on the grid, their multiplier values are added together for a guaranteed sugar rush.

With an RTP rate of up to 96.53%, Sweet Bonanza 1000 comes with 25,000 times bet max wins. This is higher than the 21,175 x bet offered in the first outing. With subtle differences between the 2 versions, below is a table highlighting all the key facts:

The Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot has a higher RTP rate, high volatility and bigger max win potential. With winning combinations landing less often (42.92% vs 50%), winning 1,000 times your total bet or higher will occur nearly 3 times as often in the 1000 version than in the original.

As a result, Sweet Bonanza 1000 has become a cult favourite amongst UK players in particular. Pragmatic Play has capitalised on its popularity by creating a festive version: Sweet Bonanza 1000 Xmas. They also offer you Gates of Olympus which has an ancient Greek mythology theme but has multipliers up to 500x and max wins of 5,000 times your total bet.

In summary, the Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot is bigger and better than its predecessor. If you have a sweet tooth, Pragmatic Play has plenty of other options including Sugar Rush, Sweet Kingdom, Wildies, Candy Blitz, Sugar Supreme Powernudge and Candy Jar Clusters. 

Pragmatic Play has a 1000 slot series which are enhanced versions of popular games. Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush and Starlight Princess are the slots which have been given the 1000 treatment. With Sugar Rush 1000 being quite similar to Sweet Bonanza 1000, you'll find more details in my dedicated guide:
