Grid and pays
Six reels, five rows, scatter pays. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pays out, with the prize scaling for 9, 10, 11 and 12+ clusters. The candy set:
- Red heart candy: 50x for 12+
- Purple candy: 25x for 12+
- Green candy: 15x for 12+
- Blue candy: 12x for 12+
- Apple, plum, watermelon, grapes, banana: 2x–10x for 12+
- Lollipop scatter: 4+ triggers free spins, pays 3x–100x for 4–6 anywhere
- Multiplier bomb: 2x–1,000x, only lands during free spins
The base game pays out often. Hit rate sits around 25%. But most base wins are small (0.2x–2x). The real money sits in the bonus round.
Tumble and bomb multipliers
Every winning cluster tumbles. Symbols clear, new ones drop in, the spin continues until no new win forms. A single paid spin can chain 5–12 tumbles on a hot board.
The headline change from the original Sweet Bonanza is the bomb ceiling. In the original, bombs topped out at 100x. The 1000 version allows 2x–1,000x. Bombs only land during free spins, and any bomb in a winning tumble adds its value to a persistent multiplier that carries across every free spin in the round. Multiple bombs in the same tumble add together.
The math works out to a 50x running multiplier on a 4x banana cluster paying 200x. A 200x multiplier on a 12-banana tumble pays 2,400x. The ceiling is the 1,000x bomb. Landing one on a 12-symbol cluster clears 12,000x, which is half the max win from a single bomb.
Free spins round
Four or more lollipop scatters anywhere on the grid trigger 10 free spins. Three scatters during the round retrigger 5 more spins. No cap on retriggers.
The round's structure:
- 10 free spins on trigger (4 scatters). 5 scatters pays 5x stake, 6 scatters pays 100x
- Multiplier counter starts at 0x and accumulates bomb values for the whole round
- Every bomb in a winning tumble adds its value to the counter
- The counter doesn't reset between spins. Every line win and tumble win is multiplied by the running total
- Round ends when spins run out or the 25,000x cap triggers
Realistic bonus payouts on a 0.40 spin land between 15x and 100x most of the time. The 500x–2,500x bonuses show up every 200–300 triggers. The 5,000x+ bonuses show up every 800–1,000 triggers. A single 1,000x bomb on a 12-cluster tumble is the dream. It lands about once every 5,000 bonus rounds in practice.
