About Sweet Bonanza 1000
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is Pragmatic Play's supercharged sequel to their all-time hit slot. The candy world is the same — 6×5 grid, cluster pays of 8+, tumble mechanic, lollipop scatters — but everything about the Free Spins round has been dialled to eleven.
The defining upgrade: multiplier bombs now go up to 1,000× instead of the original's 100×. Multiple bombs stack before being applied to the total win, which is how the game reaches its 25,000× max win. That's a ceiling nearly 4,000× higher per bomb and 3,825× more total than the original.
The trade-off is very high volatility. Where Sweet Bonanza's medium volatility produces wins roughly every other spin, SB1000 swings harder in both directions. Sessions without a bonus can feel barren; bonus rounds with the right bombs can be life-changing.

How It Works
SB1000 shares its core mechanics with the original, so if you know Sweet Bonanza you're immediately at home:
- Cluster pays — 8 or more identical symbols anywhere on the grid pay out. More symbols = larger multiplier.
- Tumble mechanic — winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in, chaining additional wins.
- Free Spins — triggered by 4+ lollipop scatters, awarding 10 free spins plus a scatter cash pay.
- Multiplier bombs — random value bombs (up to 1,000×) appear during Free Spins, stay on screen through tumbles, then all bombs are summed and applied to the total win of that spin.
- Retrigger — 3+ scatters during Free Spins adds 5 more spins.

The multiplier bombs go up to 1,000× instead of 100×, the max win is 25,000× instead of 21,175×, and the volatility is very high instead of medium. Everything else — grid, tumble, cluster pays, scatter trigger — is identical to the original.

96.53% in standard play — actually slightly higher than the original's 96.49%. Over millions of spins, SB1000 returns more per dollar bet, but the distribution is far more skewed toward rare big wins.
How do I trigger Free Spins in SB1000?
Land 4 or more lollipop scatter symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid. You receive 10 Free Spins plus a cash pay based on how many scatters landed. During Free Spins, 3+ scatters adds 5 more spins.
Is Sweet Bonanza 1000 worth playing over the original?
Depends on your goals. If you want the highest possible win ceiling and can tolerate big swings, SB1000 is the better bet. If you prefer consistent action and steadier sessions, the original's medium volatility suits you better.
