Sweet Bonanza vs Sweet Bonanza 1000: max win
The original caps wins at 21,100x the bet and the 1000 version at 25,000x. At a $1 bet that means $21,100 against $25,000. At $5 it is $105,500 against $125,000, and at a $0.2 bet it is $4,220 against $5,000. Both figures are ceilings on a single result, not what a session normally returns.
Free spins and multipliers compared
Free spins work the same way in both: 4 or more scatters trigger 10 free spins, and 3 or more scatters during the round add 5 more. The multiplier symbol appears only in free spins. When a tumbling sequence ends, the values of all multiplier symbols on screen are added and applied to that sequence's total win.
The range is what changes. In the original the possible values run from 2x to 100x. In the 1000 version they run up to 1,000x, with 100x as the second-highest value. The studio describes Sweet Bonanza 1000 as a 6×5 slot, and the paying-symbol tables in the two demos match: the top symbol pays 50x for 12 or more, the lowest 2x.
Sweet Bonanza bonus buy and ante bet compared
Both games sell the free spins for 100x the total bet. Sweet Bonanza 1000 adds a second option at 500x, super free spins, in which every multiplier symbol carries at least 20x. Only the 1000 rules describe that super option, and its 100x buy lands with four or more scatters on the triggering spin.
Both also have an ante setting. The 25x bet multiplier doubles the chance of free spins arriving naturally and switches the buy off, while 20x is normal play with the buy available.
Which one should you try first
If you want the lower multiplier range and a single buy option, start with Sweet Bonanza. If the 1,000x multipliers and the 500x super buy are what you came to see, open Sweet Bonanza 1000. Both play as free demos here, which is the cheapest way to see how the multipliers behave.
Verdict
Sweet Bonanza suits anyone who wants the older, simpler version: 96.48% RTP, a 21,100x cap and multipliers up to 100x. Sweet Bonanza 1000 suits those who want bigger numbers: 96.53% RTP, a 25,000x cap, multipliers up to 1,000x and a 500x super buy. Pragmatic Play publishes no volatility for either, and the house edge is 3.52% and 3.47% respectively.
