Sweet Bonanza 1000 is Pragmatic Play's super-charged take on its candy-themed smash hit, released in June 2024 as part of the studio's "1000" series. It returns you to that pastel candyland of fruits and sweets, with clouds of candy floss drifting behind the grid, but this time the prize ceiling has been cranked right up. You can play it here at Betano Casino.
It's built on a 6x5 grid using the scatter pays mechanic, so there are no fixed paylines. Instead, you win by landing eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. It plays high volatility, stakes start from just 20p a spin, and the headline is the 25,000x max win, far above the original Sweet Bonanza's ceiling. The tumble feature runs on every spin, clearing winning symbols so fresh ones can drop in and potentially chain several wins together.
The real fireworks come in the free spins. Land enough lollipop scatters and you trigger the bonus, where the Rainbow Bomb multipliers come into play, landing with values from 2x all the way up to 1,000x and combining across a tumble to build some serious totals. There's also an ante bet option if you'd rather press your luck on triggering the feature more often. If you loved the original and want the same sweet formula with a far bigger top end, this is the one.
To get started playing Sweet Bonanza 1000, you’ll need an active and funded Betano UK account. Register today by clicking the ‘Sign Up’ button above and filling in your details if you're not already a member. Remember that you must be over 18 to play; ID verification is required.
Launch the game by clicking on the game tile and prepare to be launched into a pastel-coloured wonderland with the game grid set against a snowy, sugar-coated backdrop.
The game controls are located directly below the reel set, where you’ll see the Pragmatic Play spin button at the plus and minus buttons to choose your wager.
The objective of the game is simple—to land winning symbol combinations on the grid to score prizes while seeking out the game’s lollipop scatter symbol that leads to the bonus game and the chance of hitting the game’s 25,000x top prize.

Remember, it’s important always to exercise responsible gambling and never to bet with more than you can afford.
In a move towards a healthier treat, the low-paying symbols are represented by colourful fruits, while top payers are sugary candies. The top payer is the red candy, which pays an impressive 50x for matching more than 12 on a single spin.
The bonus scatter symbol is a red and white swirly lollipop, which can land on any reel in the base game and offers payouts in its own right before launching you into the feature.
The scatter pays mechanic means that rather than matching identical symbols along paylines, to score payouts, you simply need to land eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. The paytable below indicates the payouts you can expect based on a £1.00 wager:
Symbol | Match 8 – 9 | Match 10 – 11 | Match 12+ |
Banana | 0.25 | 0.75 | 2.00 |
Grapes | 0.40 | 0.90 | 4.00 |
Watermelon | 0.50 | 1.00 | 5.00 |
Plum | 0.80 | 1.20 | 8.00 |
Apple | 1.00 | 1.50 | 10.00 |
Blue Candy | 1.50 | 2.00 | 12.00 |
Green Candy | 2.00 | 5.00 | 15.00 |
Purple Candy | 2.50 | 10.00 | 25.00 |
Red Candy | 10.00 | 25.00 | 50.00 |
If you’ve played the original Sweet Bonanza game, you’ll likely be familiar with some of the fantastic bonus features in this tantalising title, which starts with the tumble feature, which is active on every base game spin. Here are the special features to look out for as you play:
Active on every spin. When you land a win, those symbols clear from the grid and new ones tumble down to fill the gaps. If the new symbols form another win, they tumble too, so a single spin can chain several wins together.
At least four lollipop scatter symbols are required to trigger the free spins bonus, awarding you ten free spins in the twilight feature.
Before the round begins, your scatters will award payouts as follows:
Landing 3+ additional scatters during the feature will award you five additional spins for the round.
The multiplier symbol resembles a multicoloured Christmas bauble, appearing only in the free spins bonus. It lands with random multiplier values between 2x and 1,000x, applied to all winning combos when the multiplier is in view.
Multiplier symbols remain on screen for a tumble sequence, only dropping when the next spin occurs.
The provider has included an ante bet feature to give you a better chance of triggering the bonus. For a price of 1.25x your standard bet, you can double your chances of hitting the free spins bonus by activating the ante bet.
Worth saying first: scatter pays are random and nothing changes the odds. These are about understanding the game, not beating it.
The free spins are the whole game. The base game and its tumbles tick over, but the Rainbow Bomb multipliers only appear in the bonus, so triggering free spins is what everything builds towards.
Multipliers stack. Because the bombs apply to every win while they're on screen and survive a tumble, the standout moments are when several land together during a busy tumble sequence.
Weigh up the ante bet. It costs 25% more per spin to double your bonus chances, so it suits a free-spins-focused session but burns through a budget faster.
Respect the volatility. This is a high-variance slot, so dry spells are normal. Set a deposit or time limit before you start and treat it as entertainment.
