Across the Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus families, Pragmatic’s “1000” sequels follow a tired pattern: raise the multiplier ceiling, leave the max win roughly where it was, and call it an upgrade. Sweet Bonanza 1000 multiplied its bombs by ten and moved the ceiling 18%.
Sugar Rush 1000 is the exception, and it is worth saying so plainly. The multiplier spots run three doublings further — from 128x to 1,024x — and the max win goes from 5,000x to 25,000x. That is a genuine five-fold increase in what the game can pay.

Why This Sequel Is Different
The reason Sugar Rush 1000’s upgrade is real comes down to how its multiplier actually works.
In the Sweet Bonanza and Olympus families, multipliers are drawn at random from a range and summed. Widening that range from 100x to 1,000x barely moves the ceiling, because you were never going to draw ten maximum-value bombs at once anyway. The bigger number mostly just adds variance.
Sugar Rush’s multiplier is not drawn at random. It is earned by doubling. A spot climbs 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, 128x — one step each time that grid position wins again. In the original, the ladder stopped at 128x. That was a hard wall, and hitting it meant your compounding simply ceased.
Sugar Rush 1000 removes three rungs of that wall: 256x, 512x, 1,024x. Because the mechanic compounds rather than rolls dice, three extra doublings translate directly into a far higher ceiling. The mechanic was already there. Pragmatic just stopped capping it so early.

The Key Numbers
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| RTP | 96.53% default (builds range 95.50% to 97.50%) |
| Volatility | Very High |
| Max win | 25,000x stake |
| Max win probability | ~1 in 12,800,000 |
| Multiplier spots | 2x, doubling to a 1,024x ceiling |
| Free spins | 10 / 12 / 15 / 20 / 30 for 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 scatters |
| Base hit frequency | 1 in 2.9 spins |
| Free-spins frequency | 1 in 323 spins |
| Bonus buy | 100x (standard) / 500x (super, 2x spots pre-placed) |
| Released | 2024 |
Two of those rows deserve attention.
The RTP build range is unusually wide. The default is 96.53%, but Pragmatic licenses builds from 95.50% all the way up to 97.50% — a two-point spread, which is enormous. On most games the difference between builds is academic; here it is the difference between one of the best returns on the market and a distinctly poor one. Open the paytable and check. It matters more on this game than on almost anything else you will play.
And the max-win probability of roughly 1 in 12.8 million is worth holding beside a sister title. Sweet Bonanza 2500 has the identical 25,000x ceiling at roughly 1 in 66.7 million — so Sugar Rush 1000’s top prize is the same size and about five times more reachable.
How the Bonus Round Compounds
Free spins are still the whole game, and the rule is unchanged from the original: in the base game the multiplier spots reset every paid spin; in free spins they persist across the entire round.
What changes is how far they can run. A long round on a board where the same positions keep hitting now builds spots at 256x, 512x and 1,024x rather than stalling at 128x. When a cluster lands across several of those, their values are added together — and the sums involved are on a completely different scale from anything in the original.
Landing 7 scatters awards 30 free spins, and thirty spins is a lot of compounding room. That is the round you are actually hoping for.
The super buy at 500x starts you with 2x multipliers already placed on the grid, which gives the ladder a head start. It does not improve your expected return — nothing on a buy menu ever does — but on a mechanic that compounds, starting one rung up is a more meaningful head start than it would be on a random-draw game.
Should You Play It?
Of every Pragmatic sequel covered on this site, this is the one I would actually recommend over its original.
The reason is that the upgrade is structural rather than cosmetic. Extending a compounding ladder by three doublings genuinely changes what the game can do, in a way that widening a random-draw range simply does not. A 25,000x ceiling at 1 in 12.8 million is a real long shot rather than a decorative one, and the RTP is fractionally better too.
The caveats are honest ones. It is very high volatility, the base game remains a place where balances quietly erode, and everything still hinges on a bonus round that is roughly 1 in 323 spins away. And that 97.50%-to-95.50% build spread cuts both ways — the game your operator has licensed might be superb or it might be mediocre, and you will not know until you check.
Play the demo above first. Then check the paytable before you stake a ringgit.
