The base game pays face value and nothing more

The Multiplier bomb never appears in the base game. That one rule shapes how Sweet Bonanza 1000 behaves. Outside Free Spins, the 6x5 grid runs on Scatter pays and Tumble alone, with no wild and nothing to lift a win beyond its paytable value. Inside the feature, bombs stay on screen until a tumble sequence ends, then sum and multiply the whole sequence, up to 1000x each. The candy hills and fruit symbols look much as they did in 2019, but the weight of the game has shifted: nearly all of the 25,000x cap sits behind four scatters, an Ante Bet, or a purchase. The High volatility rating follows directly from that arrangement.

Step-by-step guide to playing

Sweet Bonanza 1000 by Pragmatic Play drops candy and fruit symbols onto a 6x5 grid with Scatter pays. The goal is to land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere. Tumble then clears the winners and refills the grid, repeating until no new win forms. High volatility applies, and the round stops at a 25,000x cap.

Set the stake Open the bet menu or press - and + beside the spin control. BET and COIN VALUE combine into TOTAL BET, from $0.20 to $240.00. Optionally switch the Ante Bet toggle ON to double the natural Free Spins chance, which disables both buy buttons.
Spin and watch Tumble Press SPIN, or SPACE on the keyboard. Any group of 8 or more identical symbols anywhere pays, then Tumble removes them and drops new symbols from above. The cascade repeats until no win appears, and all wins are added together afterwards.
Enter Free Spins Four or more Scatter lollipops award 10 Free Spins, and 3 or more during the round add 5 more. Multiplier bombs appear only here, with values up to 1000x summed at the end of each cascade. Alternatively, buy the round for 100x bet, or the Super variant at 500x.

Bankroll strategy and session volatility

Sweet Bonanza 1000 leaves the grid random once a spin starts. The real decisions sit earlier: pay more per spin for double natural Free Spins odds, or buy entry directly when Ante Bet is off.

Ante Bet trades price for natural odds

Ante Bet is available in the base game and can be switched off again. ON moves the bet from 20x to 25x, so each spin costs 1.25x. It doubles the natural chance of Free Spins and disables both buy buttons while active. RTP is listed at 96.50%, below 96.53% normal play. The exact trigger rate is not printed.

Super buy sets a 20x bomb floor

Buy Super Free Spins is purchase-only and needs Ante Bet off. It costs 500x the current bet and starts 10 Free Spins with every Multiplier bomb at least 20x, still capped at 1000x. RTP is listed at 96.55%. Captured bought rounds still ended below the purchase price, so the floor changes values, not certainty.

How the game plays out

Five states share one Scatter pays engine in Sweet Bonanza 1000. Two purchase buttons and one toggle each change how Free Spins begin, while the round itself changes what lands on the 6x5 grid.

Base Game: One paid spin fills a fixed 6 by 5 grid. Eight matching symbols anywhere pay, with no paylines involved. Every win removes its symbols and drops new ones in. Cascades repeat without a cap, and one spin's tumble wins are summed together.
Ante Bet (Double Chance to Win Feature): Switching this toggle moves the bet multiplier from 20x to 25x, so the total bet rises by a quarter. That trade doubles the natural chance of scatters opening Free Spins. While it stays on, both purchase buttons sit disabled on the panel.
Free Spins: Four or more lollipop Scatters anywhere award 10 free spins. Only inside this mode do Multiplier bombs appear, rolling a value from 2x up to 1000x. Bombs hold until a tumble sequence ends, then their sum multiplies that sequence's win. Three Scatters retrigger five more spins.
Buy Free Spins: Paying 100x the total bet forces at least four Scatters onto the next spin. The round that follows is the standard Free Spins mode: 10 spins with bombs drawn from the full 2x to 1000x range. A confirmation dialog shows the exact price before the purchase resolves.
Buy Super Free Spins: Paying 500x the total bet enters the same Free Spins structure under one altered rule: every bomb carries a minimum of 20x, still capped at 1000x. A persistent banner marks this state during play. Retriggers remain active, and a recorded round extended from 10 spins to 15.

Final verdict

Pros

RTP spans only 96.50% to 96.55% across base, ante and both buys, so entry mode is a variance choice, not a return choice.
The 500x super buy sets a 20x floor on every bomb, removing the 2x low end of the random range.

Weaknesses

Bombs exist only in free spins, and no wild substitutes, so base-game spins resolve at paytable face value between triggers.

Sweet Bonanza 1000 puts almost all its weight in the bonus round. The base game pays honestly but plainly. Return barely moves however the round is entered, so the real decision is how much variance to buy. This suits a player who reads the rules first and accepts that the 25,000x cap lives behind the bombs.
