WHAT IT IS
Sweet Bonanza 1000 in short
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is the June 2024 remake of Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic Play. Same 6 by 5 grid, same eight-to-pay rule, same lollipops. The bombs in free spins now go to 1,000x instead of 100x, the cap went from 21,100x to 25,000x, and the volatility went from medium-high to very high. The default RTP is 96.53%.
Canadians search for it because the 1,000x bomb clips spread fast and because the original is in every lobby already. Know what you are buying: the base game is drier than the 2019 version and the feature lands about once every 450 spins on average. It is a bonus-buy game dressed as a candy game.
HOW IT PLAYS
Base game and symbols
Eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the 30 positions pays. Winners vanish, new ones drop in, and the count restarts until nothing matches. Bananas and grapes at the bottom, hearts and the red candy at the top. The hit rate is high, about 43% of spins return something, but most of those returns are a fraction of the stake.
There are no multipliers in the base game. None. Every base-game spin is symbol value times the count, same as the original, which is why a session at C$0.40 can run an hour and never feel like anything happened. The ante bet costs 25% more per spin and raises the scatter chance; on C$1 a spin you pay C$1.25 and the RTP does not move.
Tumbles are quick and turbo makes them quicker. Most casino bonuses cap the stake at about C$5 to C$7 a spin and exclude both buy buttons, and some terms count the ante bet as a stake increase, so on bonus money play it plain. On real money a C$50 balance at C$0.50 is 100 spins, and the feature does not usually show in 100 spins.

THE FEATURE
Bonus round
Four or more lollipops trigger 10 free spins, with 3x, 5x or 100x your stake paid up front for four, five or six scatters. Three lollipops inside the round add five spins, with no limit. Rainbow bombs land as symbols reading 2x to 1,000x, and at the end of each tumble sequence every bomb in view is added together and multiplied against that spin's win. A 100x and a 250x bomb on a C$2 win pays C$700.
A dead bonus is 10 spins, two small wins, and a 4x bomb sitting on a screen with nothing else on it. That is a normal outcome. The 100x buy at C$1 is C$100 for one of those; the 500x super bonus guarantees nothing except a bigger bill.
OUR TAKE
Should you play Sweet Bonanza 1000?
Play it if you already like Sweet Bonanza, you want a bigger ceiling, and you are playing real money with a bankroll that can sit through 400 empty spins. Skip it for bonus wagering or a C$30 deposit; the original Sweet Bonanza has the same base game with far softer swings. For the same orb idea with multipliers in the base game too, Gates of Olympus 1000 is the other 1000 version people compare it to.

01What changed from Sweet Bonanza to Sweet Bonanza 1000?
The bombs in free spins now read up to 1,000x instead of 100x, the max win is 25,000x instead of 21,100x, and the volatility is very high instead of medium-high. The grid, the eight-to-pay rule and the 10 free spins from four lollipops are unchanged.
02Can I play Sweet Bonanza 1000 with a casino bonus in Canada?
Usually, with the stake capped at about C$5 to C$7 a spin and both buy options excluded while bonus money is active. Some terms treat the ante bet as a bet increase. With very high volatility it is a slow way to clear wagering, so pick a steadier game for that.
03How often do the free spins trigger?
About once every 450 spins on average without the ante bet, by the published figures. That means a C$30 deposit at C$0.20 a spin will often end before the feature shows. The ante bet raises the frequency at the cost of 25% more per spin.
