Released in June 2024, Sweet Bonanza 1000 stays on the 6×5 scatter-pays grid of Pragmatic Play’s original candy slot but raises the free spins bombs to as much as 1,000x and the maximum win to 25,000x the bet. OLBG lists the top RTP at 96.53% and rates the volatility very high. A Sweet Bonanza 1000 demo is expected on Pragmatic Play’s site, though we did not fetch the page for this title.
The 25,000x cap and 1,000x bombs were also stated by Pragmatic Play’s chief operating officer in trade press at launch, so those two figures have a studio source. The RTP picture is messier, as we explain below.

What changed from the 2019 original
The base game plays almost exactly like Sweet Bonanza: fruit and candy symbols pay when eight or more appear anywhere, and tumbles replace winning symbols with new ones. The difference is concentrated in the bonus:
- Bombs. Rainbow bomb multipliers in free spins range from 2x to 1,000x, against 2x to 100x in the original.
- Max win. 25,000x the bet instead of 21,175x.
- Free spins. Four or more lollipop scatters start the round, and three or more scatters during it add five more spins.
- Ante Bet and buy options. An optional higher stake for more frequent bonus triggers, plus Buy Free Spins and Super Free Spins where the market allows them.
Higher top multipliers tend to shift value toward rarer large outcomes. OLBG’s ratings fit that pattern: medium-high for the original, very high for this edition.
Free play before real stakes
Pragmatic Play publishes official demo pages for its games, and Sweet Bonanza 1000 is expected to have one. We did not fetch it, and for other titles we could not confirm from page text that the demo loads in Canada. Free play is the sensible way to judge whether a very high volatility game suits you, because you see the long empty stretches without paying for them. Our free slots page explains practice modes at regulated casinos.
The RTP question on Sweet Bonanza 1000
OLBG’s figures are inconsistent: 96.53% as the top setting, plus versions listed at 95.52% and at 94.41% or 94.51%. What is clear is that Pragmatic offers more than one setting and the operator picks which to run. A lower version returns less over time at the same stake. The only reliable check is the game’s own info screen at the casino you use, which states the RTP of the copy in front of you.
Bonus buy and casino spin promotions
The buy feature charges a fixed multiple of your stake, lost if the round pays little; it is not available in every market. Casino promotions that give spins on this game are set by each operator, with the terms on its own site. Read the terms first, as our free spins guide explains.
