Sweet! My luck has been great recently so I will play in this contest. Not expecting to be 1st, but I know who likely will: Someone who loves "scatters" in slots.

Another generous giveaway from Pragmatic, sweet!

I don't understand this part though:

• Each participant can post as many screen shot as they want, but only 2 per day per participant will count
• In order to be eligible for the prizes, you need to post at least one winning screen shot (at least 15x multiplier) per day for 3 days of your choice, during the Round 1 contest time

Here, it sounds like there's also a random prize draw that you need tickets for. But the prize structure only shows highest multi prizes. So posting 2 times a day isn't useful? @Jelena_PragmaticPlay

Also is it at least 15x or 20x multiplier?

 

[SCATT3R]

I'm sad to say that I'm really in doubt whether to participate this time.

Very sceptical to how these new '1000-series' games play out and as a matter of fact I tried this exact game the other day, on 96.5% - it took no less than 1,100 spins for the bonus to come in and wouldn't you know it, it paid 23x.

Underway to this bonus, there was not a single 'Nice!" win and there were hardly any 3-scatter teases either. The slot simply felt dead on birth and my RTP was like 50%. Do this for 7 days straight, and it could well be a costly affair.

But it's still wonderful to see another contest @Jelena_PragmaticPlay , and so soon too! Best of luck to all!

 

[Sonict]

Just realized that I can't even use the "Double Chance feature" which I use on most slots where it isn't expensive... Just like this one after reading the rules again. I will need to be very careful this time when I try to get a hit big enough for the contest as this could get nasty!

Lol, I was copying some rules from previous contest, so that paragraph wrongly slipped in ?

20x is the multiplier, the rest is deleted

Sorry for confusion

If after posting, we kept playing and had a better win, can we create a new post to replace either one or both of the entries?

 

[TheSchwad]

Thanks very much for another fantastic Competition.

Been playing this anyway lately though no big hits yet, hopefully saved them all this this comp.

One thing I've found playing it this morning, it churns very well with extra bet turned off, but damm is it hard to bonus, and many are in the 30-40x range. But the FAT multipliers are way more common than the originals, 50x drops almost very spin in the bonus, just need a win to go with it!

Day 1 Entry 1 = 304x

Day 1 Entry 2 - 126x

 

[Copperzzz]

@Jelena_PragmaticPlay

I think we only have to post one win? Our biggest win.

• Each participant can post as many screen shot as they want, but only 2 per day per participant will count

This might still be confusing then. I presume people wont post a bunch of screenshots everyday if only one win counts anyway.

Where did you get "one"? If somebody posts more than 2, two with the best score/multiplier will count.

 

[Jelena_PragmaticPlay]

Yes, sure

I'll edit this rule, to be more clear - so 2 best scores will count per day

Ohh I get it now! Points are added together like last time. Thanks for clarifying!

Day 1 entries for 200x and 113x. Really brutal game tho without the bonus bet. Took ages to get the first bonus which paid a whopping 3x..

 

[Copperzzz]

Oof this is hard without extra bet.
My first one for day 1: 192x

Replay not available for some reason (broken sometimes) that's why I post the casino transaction history for date and time.

 

[Copperzzz]

And just got an actual basegame hit as a second entry for day 1:
23x

 

[SCATT3R]

Well, I kind of suggested this morning that this slot might well be an absolute pile of trash and that one really should think twice before venturing into it.

Still, since knowing better is so often hard to put into practice, here I am again, joining the competition In truth, it's mostly out of courtesy to Jelena, who keeps trying to get some lively Pragmatic promos running on here and she has indeed offered us some greatly entertaining ones previously, which my missus especially (who's got to spend all my vouchers) are still grateful for <3

Anyway, this evening I started out with NOK 2,000 (a little under 200 euros), thinking surely the game can't be so bad if I only get some spinnage on it.
A few hours, and 5k spins later, on minimum bet, I'm left with 1/4 of my starting balance.

I got 4 bonuses over the first 1k spins and thought to myself, hey, things might happen here!
Then, over the next 4k spins, I got 1 bonus. Can you believe it? 1 bonus in 4,000 spins! I mean, what the actual fuck?

RTP-wise, it's not dreadful, far from it, it's like 85% for these 5k spins. But how dull can you possibly make a game? The base keeps giving these 2-3x's every 3rd spin but why not put a chance of landing some multipliers in there instead, that would at least have made it half interesting. And with such an incredibly low big win frequency, how will it look after 50k spins, 100k spins? For 99% of the players, this game will take forever to hit something noteworthy on and by then they'll only be looking to recuperate a portion of what's put into it so far.

Oh, and there's the option to buy a 500x cost Super Bonus, but I'm not even going to comment on that Suffice to say, you can easily get five in a row paying less than 50x each, and after that, who is still alive to try a 6th one?

Finally, here's my 2 entries for the day, along with my other "top" wins from 5k spins

 

[SCATT3R]

Meanwhile...

 

[anddi32]

About 1500 rounds today, one bonus and 44x. I'm really not sure if my own bank bankroll will last with this game for 7 days, and I'm not the biggest fan of the 1000-series anyway But let's see what happens...

 

[chiya]

I feel the same @anddi32 , even tho today in the end went "well", the game is extremely brutal and I could see it easily taking my 400x balance without a single bonus tomorrow.

 

[Sonict]

So far, so brutal! I did do the right thing by playing on the lowest bet possible. Only two wins over 20x. One of them was a bonus and the outcome happened to be 2 cents less than an earlier base game hit, LOL!

This one screenshot covers both hits for today.

 

[toslotornot]

entry 1: 20x

entry 2: 28x

total points: 48

 

[Itaghai]

Day 2

2 hours and 1800 spins later, finally I got 2 bonus ?

Entry 1:
39x

Entry 2:
203x

 

[anddi32]

Hit rate is pretty high, you can get a lot of rounds even with a small deposit but bonus interval is so crazy. And because interval is so sick, game is like a silent killer. If you don't get a bonus, Sweet Bonanza 1000 slowly but surely eats away your bankroll. And that's because it's impossible to increase your balance with the base game hits, the only thing the game can do is keep the starting level up for a certain amount of spins.

Now two bonuses collected in two thousand rounds, so far. Maybe the gap on average is not so high, but others also have similar experiences here. Very very difficult to get a bonus.

And because this competition is 100% about bonuses, it really requires a lot of rounds if you want to be in the top fight. Or super extreme luck and some really big fish in one single session.

 

[SCATT3R]

If you grind it every day you'll probably end up on 2,500 points or thereabouts, and then you can only watch as some lucky sob - fair play to them - come in with one hit alone to take it home. ?

Got around 1250 spins on it today before it was game over with that 250x remaining balance from last night. Best it could do was 1 bonus which in turn gave 70x. I couldn't even get a 2nd qualifying win (15x) over all these spins.. How ridiculous is this game?

[Copperzzz]

And my second entry for day 2:
136x

 

[anddi32]

Day 2, today was a good day. About 800 spins and 3 bonuses in total. 1x6x but the other two paid nicely

 

[TheSchwad]

What a weird day, had 4 bonuses within the first 100 spins, 2 of which are below. Then nothing for hours, and then got 4 bonuses in about 25 spins this afternoon. Though didn't improve much, so will count the two highlighted below (if possible), no evidence of wins are showing on Betway in the Replay function so if this breaks the comp rules count the 50x win below instead of the 65x.

Altogether had about 15 bonuses today but most were 30x or below


Day 2 Entry 1 - 126x

Day 2 Entry 2 - 65x

 

[Copperzzz]

Just got an 125x to replace my first entry of today.

 

[johnnymcc1966]

I dont think I'll be in a position to participate in this but I will try.

 

[chiya]

Absolutely god awful game. 400x bet balance gone without a single bonus. Best win 22x in base game.. ONCE. I can't see myself even being able to afford to participate every day.

 

[chiya]

2nd entry for today.. finally got the damn bonus but not like it saved my balance

 

[bamberfishcake]

Passing this one, but thanks for the comp!

Always nice to see comps on CM.

Sorry guys, going to have to close this tab rather sharpish. Just had my tea and don't fancy throwing it straight back up!

 

[SCATT3R]

then got 4 bonuses in about 25 spins

I must say I'm starting to worry for you, mate! First you talk about things like how the game churns well, and then about having a 50x balloon drop in on each and every free spin, and now you're on about getting the bonus 4 times in 25 spins? Clearly you must be seeing things..!
After all, this is Sweet Bonanza 1000 - the game where such occurances aren't even in the script..!

For, in its core, Sweet Bonanaza 1000 is an absolutely merciless game - as pointed out by so many already. Not because it doesn't pay anything at all - it does: it gives those frequent 3x's - but because it takes so excruciatingly long for anything of interest to happen.

So, after making quick work of my mere 250x balance this morning (which was a 1,000x starting balance only last night), I had no choice but to redeposit tonight. Truth be told, it wasn't that brutal actually: by the end of my 3,750 spins session, I'm still left with about 3/4 of my new 1,125x starting balance, something that must be considered a successful outcome when it comes to this game.

That takes my tally to 10k spins now, for the competition, and in the screen shot below you can see my top-7 wins from these 10k spins: it reveals a measly 4 wins over a 100x and a 164x as the biggest one yet. Remember, this is over 10k spins! 18 times I've gotten the bonus (every 555th spin), and only once did I see a 50x balloon (didn't connect). My RTP isn't terrible, though: 88.8% on the 96.53% version, so that's at least something, but it's just that there's no sight whatsoever of the wins to properly boost it.

Sweet Bonanaza 1000 is simply an incredibly unengaging game.

119x and 104x for Day 2. Points total: 489

 

[Sonict]

I did a little better than yesterday. Low bets are the way to go for this one!

Best I could do so far is 25x and 43x.

@Jelena_PragmaticPlay could you confirm that my entries are fine showing time and date from casino transaction? Replays are currently broken on websites I play on so I cant get the timestamp from there ?

119x and 104x for Day 2. Points total: 489

I agree the game is very unengaging if you don't hit the bonus, the best I reckon the base game can produce is about 25x, and the long periods of no Bonus are quite boring. I was gonna liken it to the Bonanza of old. Long periods and thousands of spins without a bonus, then get a glut of them, all paying poorly .

Therefore I stand by saying its good for playtime; even if its boring; without a bonus I've been getting between 50-60 minutes per 100x stake loss. In the current climate of extreme volatility games (that 'steal' 100x every 10 minutes) its got good churn, even if alot of that is the time taken for each spin to cascade.

Naturally I was exaggerating about the FAT multipliers every spin, but it does have much bigger multipliers coming in each bonus than the originals, though these are pointless without a win which are rarely forthcoming.

Below shows 3 of the 4 bonuses I had in 100 spins on Netbet (can't find the fourth as it paid so poorly and is mixed in with all the other small base hit) 8 minutes apart yesterday. Had the same on Betway in about 25 spins but replay function isn't working. Between these quick bonuses though there was about 2 hours of no bonuses that everyone is experiencing.

Overall its not a bad game but think its definitely geared up towards buying the Super Bonus, and in future I'll probably stick to the originals.
I guess the competition with the hundreds of thousands of spins completed by everyone, it will show the game in its true light if someone doesn't hit an Epic Win before the end. Hopefully someone will hit something massive.

 

[SCATT3R]

Got some further playtime on it this morning, namely 3,750 spins with 12 bonuses coming in (ratio of 1 in 312).
I actually saw a base game 'Mega!' for the first time in what is soon 15k spins, 25x worth of hearts and then some bananas and stuff.
This session was another balance unfriendly experience, 88% RTP equaled to more than half my balance gone (1,775 shrunk to 875) and now I'm gonna have to save the rest for tomorrow, lest I find myself redepositing again, so I won't be able to improve on the two best hits from today, which were these:

Day 3: 104x and 90x, points total: 683

 

[Copperzzz]

@Jelena_PragmaticPlay could you confirm that my entries are fine showing time and date from casino transaction? Replays are currently broken on websites I play on so I cant get the timestamp from there ?

Meanwhile got another entry for day 3: 25x

 

[TheSchwad]

Day 3 - Entry 1 - 162x

Day 3 - Entry 2 - 261x

 

[TheSchwad]

actually saw a base game 'Mega!' for the first time in what is soon 15k spins, 25x worth of hearts and then some bananas and stuff.

You could probably count that as a Base Game Max Win cos doubt it can do much bigger.

My day continued similar to yesterday, loads of wait for a bonus, then 5 came quickly, only 23 minutes apart (bear in mind time to playout bonus and fact I'm in the UK so snails spins) probably only about 150 spins. So it'll be back to 2 hours wait for the next bonus!

I've noticed Pragmatics do this alot, so next time after a long period of No Bonus, might up the stake after each one in hope I get another quick one. Probably be a balance killer but will give it a go

 

[satchnz]

So I count 9 forum member entries so far with 15 prizes on offer. Plenty of opportunities for people to submit a small number of screenshots to snag a prize, especially with the relatively small X wins others are posting.

I’m not a daily gambler that these comps target so I won’t be entering, but a good chance for others who are.
