From its headquarters in Gibraltar and offices around the globe, ARRISE powers Pragmatic Play’s iconic games. The company is responsible for such titles as Gates of Olympus, The Dog House, Release the Kraken, and Big Bass Bonanza.

One of the latest titles to come out of the partnership is Sweet Bonanza 1000, a successor to the incredibly popuar Sweet Bonanza slot. We loved the slot so much that it made it into our Slots of the Week at the time of its release earlier this year.

VegasSlotsOnline News recently caught up with ARRISE Affiliate Manager Anastasios Ioannidis to find out a little more about the game.

Sweet Bonanza is one of Pragmatic Play’s most iconic and popular games. What was the thinking behind creating the 1000 version?

The 1000 series is quite an exclusive club at the moment, as it includes a handful of Pragmatic Play’s leading slots, including Gates of Olympus 1000 and Sugar Rush 1000. The series takes already brilliant games and enhances their win potential with bigger max multipliers.

Sweet Bonanza is one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular slots ever, which made it a perfect choice for a 1000 version makeover. While increasing how much players could win in the game, it also comes with several cosmetic tweaks, which fans of the original will no doubt notice and enjoy.

What has the player response been like since Sweet Bonanza 1000 launched in June 2024?

Sweet Bonanza 1000 has quickly become one of the most popular releases of the year – an instant hit with both existing fans and new players. The tumbling reels and pays-anywhere features keep the action engaging across the board, which is one of the reasons why players love Sweet Bonanza so much.

But it’s the increased win potential that sets the new game apart. The max win has been upped to 25,000x, and of course there’s the headline feature: 1,000x multiplier symbols in the bonus game. That’s ten times greater than in the original, so it’s easy to see why the player response has been so strong.

Can we expect more Pragmatic Play games to receive the 1000 treatment?

Absolutely, yes! In fact, Pragmatic Play has given another fan favorite the 1000 series makeover with Wisdom of Athena 1000. The original was one of 2023’s top releases, being a part of Pragmatic Play’s popular Greek Gods series, and the 1000 version ramps things up with 1,000x multipliers and a 10,000x max win – double what was on offer in the first game. You can expect this supercharged sequel to land at the end of September.

What else can we expect from Pragmatic Play in the coming months?

Pragmatic Play has plenty in store to follow a standout summer, which saw brand-new releases such as Bow of Artemis and Sumo Supreme Megaways capture players’ attention.

Another returning franchise is Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe, and the classic Mustang Gold is getting a Megaways release that includes an original reel layout and collect and gamble features which can reward handsomely in the bonus game. Then everyone’s favourite canines return in The Dog House – Muttley Crew, and looking a little further ahead, players can expect some seasonal slots to celebrate Halloween and Christmas.

Pragmatic Play’s collection of crash games is also expanding with High Flyer, which will take off in September and has the potential to hit some stratospheric multipliers. Meanwhile, Pragmatic Play’s Live Casino offering continues to grow, with the unique Bet Behind Pro Blackjack heading a number of exciting product launches and updates.
