Sweet Bonanza 1000 Super Free Spins: Worth the 500x Punt?
Sweet Bonanza 1000 is a South African favourite for its bigger multipliers and Super Free Spins. We put $1,000 into the 500x buy and walked away with $13,580.60. So how did it happen, and is the 500x Super Free Spins buy actually worth it?
What Your 500x Buys in Super Free Spins
In Sweet Bonanza 1000, you’ve got two ways to buy Free Spins directly. The standard Free Spins will set you back 100x your stake, and the Super Free Spins cost 500x.

Super Free Spin Feature
- A single Multiplier can hit up to 1000x
- When a Multiplier Bomb drops, it starts from a minimum of 20x
- If multiple Multipliers land in the same spin, they just stack up
I gave it a run with a $2 stake, so buying a Super Free Spins feature was $2 × 500 = $1,000.
To be honest, that price is pretty steep, hey. But the real draw with Super Free Spins isn’t about getting extra spins, it’s the much stronger Multiplier mechanic.
In your normal Free Spins, the multiplier bombs might just give you lower values like 2x, 3x, or 5x. But in Super Free Spins, the moment a bomb lands, the baseline is 20x, and a single bomb can go all the way to 1000x.
If different multiplier bombs drop in the same Tumble, those numbers just keep adding up. You could easily be looking at stacked multipliers in the thousands.
My 500x Super Free Spins Test
Right, let me show you exactly what happened when I dropped $1,000 on the Sweet Bonanza 1000 Super Free Spins.
I went into the bonus with 10 Free Spins, with no retriggers along the way. By the end of the round, the total win had reached a very tidy $13,580.60.
What made this run interesting wasn’t that every spin paid well. Far from it. Most of the damage came from one massive Tumble that completely changed the result of the bonus.
That spin started with a Tumble Win of just $12.20. Nothing special on its own. Then three Multiplier Bombs landed together:
- 25x
- 25x
- 1000x
Sweet Bonanza 1000 doesn’t just take the biggest Multiplier. When several bombs land in the same Tumble, their values are added together.
So in this case:
25x + 25x + 1000x = 1050x
And this is where things got hectic:
$12.20 × 1050 = $12,810
That one Tumble alone jumped to $12,810 once the Multipliers were applied. Add the smaller wins I had already picked up, and the total on screen quickly reached $12,816.50.
That single spin basically made the bonus.
For me, this was the clearest example of what makes Super Free Spins interesting. You don’t necessarily need all 10 spins to perform. If one decent Tumble Win lines up with a big stack of Multipliers, it can completely change the result of the whole feature.
A Big Multiplier Still Needs Something to Multiply
After giving Sweet Bonanza 1000 a proper bash, one thing became very clear: it doesn’t matter how good your Multipliers are in the Super Free Spins if there’s hardly any Tumble Win underneath them.
On my spin, the Multiplier Bombs stacked up to a 1050x. That looks incredible, but the reason the result became so big was that I already had a $12.20 Tumble Win sitting there before the Multipliers were applied.
Change that base win, and the outcome changes completely.
If the Tumble Win had only been $1:
$1 × 1050 = $1,050
If it had only been $0.50:
$0.50 × 1050 = $525
And if the spin hadn’t produced a win at all, even a 1000x Multiplier would have had nothing to multiply.
That’s why I wouldn’t look at Sweet Bonanza 1000 and simply say:
“Land a 1000x and you’ve smashed it.”
It doesn’t quite work like that.
A spin really takes off when a solid Tumble Win meets a big Multiplier at the right moment.
That’s the part I think matters most when playing Super Free Spins. The Multiplier gets all the attention, but the Tumble Win underneath it is what gives that Multiplier real value.
Would I Fork Out 500x for This Bonus Again?
After giving the Buy Feature on Sweet Bonanza 1000 a proper run, I can see why the Super Free Spins are such a big draw.
But if you ask me whether landing a nice win this time means the Super Free Spins are definitely worth buying, I still wouldn’t give you a straight yes.
The reason is simple: paying 500x your stake just to get into the feature is a serious amount of money.
I ended up with $13,580.60, but the result only got that big because a decent Tumble Win lined up with a stack of strong Multipliers. If either side had been missing, the final payout could have looked very different.
If you just want to get a feel for the Free Spins on Sweet Bonanza 1000, the standard 100x Buy Bonus is much easier on the pocket.
But if what you really want is the game’s most aggressive Multiplier setup and the chance to see just how far the feature can run when everything lines up, then Super Free Spins is the version worth trying.
For me, that’s the best way to look at it: You’re paying for bigger upside, not a safer result or a guaranteed payout.
