Sweet Bonanza 1000: The Verdict First
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is the original candy slot with its multiplier engine turned up. It is part of Pragmatic Play's "1000" line, and the recipe is the same: keep the look and rules players love, raise the bombs to 1000x and lift the ceiling to 25,000x. If you enjoy the classic and want larger bonus multipliers, it is the obvious upgrade. If you have never played any Sweet Bonanza, start with the 2019 version.

Original Versus 1000
| Original | 1000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Bomb range | 2x–100x | 2x–1000x |
| Max payout | 21,100x | 25,000x |
| Top stake | 100 (125 with double chance) | 240 |
| Extra chance toggle | double chance | Ante Bet |
| Buy options | 100x | 100x and 500x |
What stays the same matters just as much. Symbols, paytable and the eight-symbol rule are untouched, so the heart still pays 10x to 50x and the banana 0.25x to 2x. Wilds do not exist here, just as in the original.
Bonus Mechanics
Four to six lollipops start 10 free spins and pay 3x, 5x or 100x on the spot, while three lollipops inside the feature add 5 spins. Bombs worth 2x to 1000x land only during the feature, remain in place for the whole tumble sequence and are then added up. The combined value multiplies the sequence win; with no win, they have no effect.
Math Check in Dollars
Take a $1 stake and a free spins sequence that collects 5x, or $5. Left on the grid are bombs of 10x, 25x and 100x. The sum is 135x, so the sequence pays $675. In the original, reaching 135x needs several large bombs landing together. In the 1000 edition, one bomb can exceed that by itself: a lone 500x bomb on the same $5 sequence would pay $2,500.
Super Free Spins cost 500x, which is $500 on a $1 stake, or $100 on a $0.20 stake. The benefit is that every bomb is at least 20x, so even a pair of minimum bombs gives a 40x total. Whether that is worth five times the regular $100 buy is exactly the kind of question the demo answers safely.
Ante Bet in Numbers
Ante Bet replaces the original's double chance. It adds 25% to the stake, so a $1 spin costs $1.25, and in return the chance of reaching free spins is doubled. It also changes the RTP slightly, from 96.53% to 96.5%. Over 200 spins at $1, the toggle costs an extra $50. Whether the extra triggers justify that is a question of taste, and a long demo session with the toggle on and off is the only honest way to compare.

Where 1000 Fits in the Series
It sits between the classic and the heavily configurable Sweet Bonanza 2500. You get much larger bombs with only one extra toggle and one extra buy button to learn. Try a long demo session before deciding whether the rhythm suits you.
