Pragmatic Play · 2024
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is a high volatility Pragmatic Play slot on a 6x5 grid. This page covers its figures, round flow and bonus modes.
A 6x5 grid of fruit and candy symbols makes up the board, with no paylines at all. A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid, so the position of a symbol never matters. Winning symbols leave the grid through the Tumble Feature, and new symbols drop in to fill the gaps. Tumbles have no cap, and every tumble win from one spin is added together.
4 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 10 free spins, and 3 or more scatters during those spins add 5 more each time. Multiplier bombs appear only in this mode, each carrying a random value from 2x to 1000x. Their values add up within each tumble sequence and multiply that sequence's win.
Seven figures, one table

Know every payout
Many players fear not knowing how a round pays, so every step shows what comes next.
A$0.20 to A$240 is the total bet range for each spin, and that bet scales every payout. This page uses A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2 as examples.
8+ matching symbols pay anywhere on the 6x5 grid, with no paylines. Winning symbols vanish, new ones drop in, and every tumble in a spin adds up.
2 features drive the base game: Scatter and Tumble. Multiplier bombs appear only in free spins, so base game wins are paid at face value.
4+ Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid award 10 free spins. 3+ Scatters during the round retrigger 5 extra free spins.
Set your spending limit before the first spin, because no one can know how long a session lasts. Results are random, so the next bonus cannot be predicted.
Visual guide
Most players worry about misreading a free spins screen, so each caption names what it shows.
When scatters land
Useful once you know the base game and want to see how a bonus starts.
4+ SCATTER symbols trigger this mode and award 10 free spins. 3+ scatters during the round retrigger it for +5 free spins. Multiplier bombs appear only in this mode, each worth a random 2x to 1000x. Their values are summed per tumble sequence and multiply that sequence's win.
Base game10 free spins
Purchase for 100x total bet. The purchase guarantees 4+ SCATTER symbols on the triggering spin and enters the standard Free Spins mode, with 10 spins and random 2x to 1000x bombs.
Base gameInstant free spins
Purchase for 500x total bet. It guarantees 4+ SCATTER symbols on the triggering spin, and every Multiplier bomb in the round carries a minimum value of 20x, up to the same 1000x ceiling. Retriggers with 3+ scatters mid-round still apply.
Base gameBombs from 20x
The grid is 6 reels by 5 rows, with no paylines. Symbols pay anywhere. At least 8 matching symbols make a win. Winning symbols are removed, new ones drop in, and cascades continue with no cap. All tumble wins from one spin are summed together.
Bet placedCascading wins
Four or more scatters award 10 free spins, yet how often that happens is not known in advance. Nobody can work it out from the rules alone, because the bonus round does not arrive on a fixed schedule. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP version, so a short run can end well above or below its long-run average.
Four RTP versions share the same 6x5 grid, and the version running in this lobby is shown only in the game rules. Check the game rules before you spin. The RTP table above lists each version, but the rules are the only place that names the one in play.
25,000 times the bet is the top of Sweet Bonanza 1000, a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Read the figure as a limit on the payout, not as a target for any session. The ceiling is a multiple of the bet, so a larger stake raises the money ceiling in step.
18+ is the minimum age to play Sweet Bonanza 1000. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 offers support, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
A$0.20 per spin is the lowest bet here. Set a session budget before the first spin and stop once it is spent.
8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid form a win. Pick your stop point before you play and keep it after a win too.
A$240 is the highest bet here, so the stake can rise fast. Set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first session.
A$0.20 to A$240 is the bet range here, so the stake can change quickly. If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop.
Know the rules
You will know how the bonus starts, which bets apply and how this version differs.
4 or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid trigger the free spins. The round awards 10 free spins, and 3 or more scatters during the round retrigger 5 more free spins.
25,000 times the bet is the top payout of Sweet Bonanza 1000. At the example top bet of A$2 that means A$50,000. At the highest bet of A$240 the same multiple reaches A$6,000,000.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$240 the highest. The examples on this page use A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2. With the Ante Bet on, the total bet is multiplied by 1.25.
5 versions of the series are listed. This one has a maximum win of 25,000 times the bet, above the original Sweet Bonanza and Xmas and below Super Scatter. Each version has its own RTP, so compare the rows before choosing.
6x5 grid with high volatility means wins vary widely in size. A quiet stretch can be followed by a large win or by none at all. How often the bonus arrives cannot be known before a session starts.
100x the total bet buys Free Spins, and 500x buys Super Free Spins. At A$2, the example top bet, that is A$200 and A$1,000. Turning on the Ante Bet disables both purchase options.
