Sweet Bonanza 1000: count the sweets, then add the bombs

Sweet Bonanza 1000 builds each win across a 6 x 5 candy grid, then gives its free-spin tumbles a second calculation: add the multiplier bombs and multiply the sequence's total.

A bomb can reach 1,000x; the game's overall win cap is 25,000x the bet. The useful distinction is between one bomb, one tumble sequence and the whole free-spin round.

Pragmatic Play's 2024 sequel suits a reader who enjoys watching several small symbol awards become one multiplied result. Its ordinary game counts matching fruit and sweets anywhere on the screen. The multiplier bombs enter during free spins, where they can change the value of an entire sequence after the last replacement lands.

Count the sweets across the whole screen

The six columns and five rows hold 30 positions. Eight or more matching ordinary symbols pay, wherever they appear. They do not need to form an adjoining cluster or follow a line from the left. Nine bananas scattered across different columns have the same initial award as nine bananas grouped together.

Each symbol uses a count tier: 8 or 9, 10 or 11, or 12 and above. Count bananas separately from apples, grapes and the candy shapes. When several symbol types qualify on the same screen, their awards add together. Seven hearts and seven apples do not become a fourteen-symbol win: neither reaches its own eight-symbol minimum.

After an award, the winning symbols disappear. The symbols left above them fall into the gaps and new symbols arrive from the top. Another qualifying count pays and causes another tumble. A replacement with no further win closes that sequence. There is no fixed tumble-count limit in these rules, although the round's monetary cap still applies. A paid base spin's awards reach the balance after its tumbles finish.

The pink spiral lollipop is a scatter. It has its own payout and free-spin trigger. A multiplier bomb has a number on it and enters only during the free-spin feature. Treat these two special symbols separately from the fruit and candy count.

The complete candy and fruit paytable

All values here are multiples of the normal total bet, with Ante off, before any free-spin bomb multiplier. The original coin awards use a base betting unit; normal play costs 20 of those units. Dividing a coin award by 20 gives the total-bet multiple below.

For a hypothetical normal bet of €1, nine bananas pay €0.25: the five-coin award divided by 20, multiplied by €1. Ten apples on that same bet pay €1.50. A count of twelve bananas uses the 2x tier once; it does not pay separate eight-symbol and twelve-symbol awards.

The red heart is the highest-paying ordinary symbol at every count tier. Its twelve-symbol award is 50x, while twelve bananas pay 2x. A larger count can matter more than the picture's category: twelve bananas pay more than eight apples. Read the symbol and its count together.

The lollipop scatter's separate normal-bet awards are 3x for four, 5x for five and 100x for six. Four or more scatters also start ten free spins. Three scatters during the feature can add spins, even though three has no payout row in this scatter table.

Ten free spins, with a fresh bomb total each spin

Four or more lollipops trigger 10 free spins. During that feature, landing three or more scatters adds five extra spins. Special reels are used for the feature. Its wins are awarded after the free-spin round completes, and the history entry records the cycle's whole win.

The multiplier bombs stay on the screen until their current tumble sequence ends. An ordinary feature bomb can carry 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 1,000x. That list describes possible values; it does not say they have equal chances of appearing.

At the end of a winning sequence, add all its bomb values, then multiply the sequence's accumulated award by that sum. A 2x bomb beside a 5x bomb makes 7x. The bombs do not multiply together into 10x, and their 7x sum does not become a saved multiplier for the next free spin.

A €1 free-spin example

One Sweet Bonanza 1000 sequence A hypothetical €1 bet pays €0.25 for bananas and €1.50 for apples, then their €1.75 total is multiplied by the added 2x and 5x bombs to pay €12.25. Add the fruit awards €0.25 + €1.50 = €1.75 Add the remaining bombs 2x + 5x = 7x Multiply this sequence once €1.75 x 7 = €12.25 Next free spin: fresh bombs The 7x sum ends with this sequence Hypothetical €1 normal bet
Nine bananas, then ten apples: an illustrative sequence, with no claim about how often it occurs.

This is hypothetical arithmetic, with a normal total bet of €1. Suppose the first screen pays for nine bananas, the next tumble pays for ten apples, and the sequence then ends with 2x and 5x bombs on screen. The fruit awards are €0.25 + €1.50 = €1.75. The bombs add to 7x. The final sequence award is €1.75 x 7 = €12.25.

The multiplier applies once to the sequence total. Do not apply 2x to one fruit award and 5x to the other, or multiply every earlier free spin's winnings again. When the next free spin begins, it has its own awards and bombs. A bomb's value also needs a winning amount to multiply; the number on a bomb is not a standalone cash award.

Ante changes the spin price; purchases choose the feature

Normal play, Ante and the two feature purchases answer different preferences. Normal play lets the four-scatter trigger arrive through the base game. Ante increases the price of each spin and doubles the relative chance of triggering the feature naturally. A purchase pays its stated price to trigger the feature immediately, where that option is available.

Normal play

Cost basis
20 base units per spin
What it changes
Ordinary spins with the natural scatter trigger

Ante

Cost basis
25 base units per spin
What it changes
Twice the relative natural feature chance; Buy Free Spins disabled

Buy Free Spins

Cost basis
100x total bet
What it changes
Triggering spin has at least four scatters

Buy Super Free Spins

Cost basis
500x total bet
What it changes
At least four trigger scatters; every bomb that appears has a value of at least 20x

At a hypothetical base unit of €0.05, normal play costs €1 and Ante costs €1.25. That is a 25% price increase at the same base unit. The coin paytable still multiplies awards by the base unit: Ante does not turn a five-coin banana award into a larger award just because the spin costs more. The table above is labelled for normal play for that reason.

Twice the relative feature chance is not a stated 50% chance and does not promise a trigger within a particular number of spins. Keep the higher spin cost beside that chance increase when comparing Ante with ordinary play.

For a hypothetical €1 total bet with purchases available, the ordinary feature costs €100 and Super costs €500. The Super 20x floor applies to the values on bombs that appear. It is not a minimum feature payout, a promise that a bomb will land or a refund of the €500 purchase price. Both purchases lead to the same ten-spin trigger, but Super removes bomb values below 20x from that purchased mode.

Choose normal play for the base-game tumble sequence, Ante for a more expensive route to the natural trigger, or a purchase for its stated feature entry. A purchase's cost is paid upfront; its return comes from the random feature outcome. Buy Free Spins is disabled while Ante is selected, and the available purchase controls depend on the version opened at the casino.

RTP belongs to the selected mode

The provider catalogue lists 96.53% RTP. The native 96.53% configuration gives four mode figures:

Normal base play

Theoretical RTP
96.53%

Ante

Theoretical RTP
96.50%

Buy Free Spins at 100x

Theoretical RTP
96.52%

Buy Super Free Spins at 500x

Theoretical RTP
96.55%

RTP describes the theoretical share of stakes returned across a very large volume of play in that mathematical configuration. A 96.53% figure does not give a 96.53% chance of winning a spin, predict the result of ten free spins or promise a particular balance after €100 of stakes. It cannot identify a profitable time of day to play or tell you which next spin will win. The small difference between the two purchase RTPs does not make a €500 purchase equivalent to a €100 purchase: their upfront prices remain five times apart.

The native rules label this configuration high volatility. Returns can be uneven, with a feature's value strongly affected by its symbol awards and the bombs that join them. Neither the volatility label nor the 1,000x bomb ceiling gives an exact hit rate. Selecting a faster spin animation changes how quickly the game presents a result; the stated payout rules are still the rules used to interpret it.

A casino can serve its own stake and return configuration. Open the game's Information screen to compare its RTP and available modes with the figures above. The catalogue percentage is a useful reference, while the help for the game you actually open identifies that version's settings.

A 25,000x cap applies to the round

25,000x the bet is the maximum win, covering both base play and free spins in these rules. The 1,000x bomb is one multiplier value used within the calculation; the 25,000x figure caps the resulting round win. Several bombs and symbol awards cannot remove that cap.

If a free-spin round reaches the cap, it ends immediately, pays up to the cap and forfeits the spins still remaining. The ten-spin starting allocation and any retriggers therefore do not guarantee that every allocated spin will run after a maximum result.

At a hypothetical €0.50 bet, 25,000 x €0.50 = €12,500. This is the maximum calculation, not a predicted win. Raising the bet scales the same multiplier into a larger money amount and raises the money spent on each paid spin or purchase too.

Stake ranges vary with the currency configuration. One English help version prints R3 to R4,500; a Romanian version prints RON 0.20 to RON 500. Those are separate ranges. Neither supplies a universal euro or PLN minimum, and the illustrative euro amounts in the examples above are calculation choices rather than quoted casino stake limits.

Find the bet, information and history controls

Use the plus and minus bet controls to open the bet menu and change the stake. The menu shows the betting multiplier and current total bet in coins and cash. Its BET and COIN VALUE fields change the two parts of the stake calculation. Check the total before pressing Spin, especially after switching Ante on or choosing a purchase.

The CREDIT and BET labels show the balance and current total bet. Clicking those labels switches between the coin and cash views. The Information button opens the help pages; use its arrows to move between them and its close control to return to the game. These are the places to read the local paytable and RTP, rather than treating an intro banner as the whole specification.

Settings provide normal, quick and turbo spin speeds, sound controls, an intro-screen toggle and Game History. Space and Enter can start and stop a spin in the English interface. These presentation controls do not supply a winning pattern or replace the game's count and multiplier calculations.

The Autoplay menu selects a number of automatic spins; clicking its control again stops it. Skip Screens passes the feature introduction and end screens after a short delay. The Romanian interface also has stop conditions for any win, a won feature, a single win above a chosen amount, or a balance moving above or below a chosen amount. Those additional controls belong to that interface and may differ in another version.

Use the 1000 demo to learn the sequence

The provider's English Sweet Bonanza 1000 demo gives you a route to this exact edition. In the game, start by identifying the lollipop scatter and reading the ordinary paytable. Then follow one winning tumble sequence from its first symbol award to the final bomb calculation. That is the interaction to understand before comparing ordinary and Super feature prices.

Demo play uses a practice balance. It does not produce a cash withdrawal or demonstrate what a casino will pay into your account. An in-game free-spin round is also different from a casino's promotional free spins: an external bonus can have its own qualifying games, wagering and deadline.

For casino choice, read beyond the game's mechanics. Vavada's casino review explains its catalogue, bonus choices and account features. A casino's provider list alone does not establish that this exact edition is available for your country; use the full Sweet Bonanza 1000 title when searching its lobby.

The original comparison starts with the bomb ceiling

Sweet Bonanza 1000's advertised bomb ceiling is 1,000x, ten times the original Sweet Bonanza ceiling of 100x. That is a difference in the multiplier a bomb can carry. It does not mean every win is ten times larger, that the bombs appear ten times as often or that the theoretical return is ten times higher.

Keep the full edition name visible when selecting a demo or a casino game. Sweet Bonanza 1000 is the 2024 sequel discussed here. The separately named Super Scatter, Xmas and Sweet Rush games need their own rules; the word "Super" in this game's 500x Super Free Spins purchase does not turn it into Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter.

The choice here is the feature calculation: ordinary symbols pay by their count, each winning replacement adds another award, and the bombs add before multiplying that sequence once. Understand that order, compare the full purchase price with the normal stake, and the numbers on the candy screen become much easier to read.

Questions and answers

Do Sweet Bonanza 1000 bomb multipliers carry into the next free spin?

No. Bomb values are added at the end of a winning free-spin tumble sequence and multiply that sequence's accumulated award once. The next free spin uses its own awards and bombs. A single bomb can reach 1,000x, while the whole-round win is capped at 25,000x the bet.

What does the Super Free Spins purchase guarantee?

Where offered, Super Free Spins costs 500x the total bet and triggers the same ten starting spins as the 100x ordinary purchase. Every bomb that appears in Super has a value of at least 20x. That floor does not guarantee a bomb, a minimum feature payout or recovery of the purchase price.

What is the RTP of each Sweet Bonanza 1000 mode?

In the native 96.53% configuration, normal play has 96.53% RTP, Ante 96.50%, the 100x Buy Free Spins mode 96.52%, and the 500x Super Free Spins mode 96.55%. These are mode-specific theoretical returns; a casino can serve a different return configuration.
