VeraJohn Sweet Bonanza 1000 Slot by Pragmatic Play

Casino-exclusive variants usually just swap the logo and call it done. This one adds a 4-tier progressive jackpot system - Minor, Major, Mega, Grand - that the standard Sweet Bonanza 1000 doesn't have. Jackpots trigger randomly after any base game spin (never during free spins), opening a pick-and-reveal screen where you match three identical tier names. Higher bets increase the trigger rate. It's a genuine structural addition, not a cosmetic reskin detail.

Everything else mirrors the original. Nine symbols across 30 positions, no paylines, no wilds. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay as scatter pays, with the red heart candy topping out at 50x for 12+ and banana sitting at the floor with 2x. Tumbles clear winners, drop new symbols in, and chain until nothing connects. During free spins, multiplier bombs land alongside regular symbols - each one carrying a random value from 2x up to 1,000x. The bombs accumulate through the entire tumble chain, then their values get added together and applied to the total win once the chain ends. Two 1,000x bombs on the same sequence means a 2,000x combined multiplier hitting whatever you collected.

Four or more scatters award 10 free spins, with 3+ during the round adding 5 more. At 100x your bet you can skip straight into a standard free spins round. The 500x Super option is where the math shifts - every bomb during that round carries a minimum value of 20x instead of 2x, so the low-end duds disappear entirely while the 1,000x ceiling stays. The Ante Bet bumps cost by 25% and doubles scatter frequency, though max win drops from 25,000x to 20,000x (the absolute payout cap stays the same since your bet is bigger).

Bright candy pastels over Vera&John purple branding, oversized gummy symbols, and the same saccharine candy-land backdrop the series has used since 2019. The progressive jackpots make this version worth tracking down if you play at Vera&John - but it's their exclusive, so nowhere else carries it.
