Pragmatic Play Releases Sweet Bonanza POP in Expanded Series
Pragmatic Play launched Sweet Bonanza POP, moving the title into its POP series on a 3×5 tumbling grid. Features include 10 base free spins, 5-10 additional spins, instant prizes up to 25,000x via POP symbols, and Candy Bomb multipliers to 1,000x. The release refreshes a core IP while retaining original match mechanics.
SCCG Take — Operators gain a familiar-yet-updated slot that layers instant awards and aggregated multipliers onto proven play. Track whether the POP mechanics lift session depth on an already-recognised title.
Pragmatic Play has launched Sweet Bonanza POP, placing one of its leading slots inside the growing POP universe. The release pairs the original’s core gameplay with refreshed visuals, persistent multipliers, and structured instant prizes on a 3×5 grid using tumbling reels.
Players form wins by matching 5-9+ symbols anywhere on screen. Any 3+ lollipop scatters or POP symbols open the bonus with 10 free spins. Landing 2-3 scatters during the feature adds 5-10 more spins. Entry via 1, 2 or 3 POP symbols pays an instant 50x, 500x or the 25,000x maximum win. The bonus round deploys Candy Bomb multipliers valued to 1,000x, with all landed values summed at the close of each tumble sequence and applied to that spin’s total.
The title is positioned as the latest entry in Pragmatic Play’s POP series. It applies vibrant styling and streamlined mechanics to a recognisable IP with the stated goal of broadening appeal.
Core Mechanics and Bonus Structure
Trigger conditions tie directly to scatter and POP symbols, layering instant cash awards onto the free-spin package. Multiplier aggregation at tumble end supplies compound payout potential while preserving the base game’s match-anywhere logic. All features remain within the exact parameters detailed in the announcement.
Portfolio Refresh Signals
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Sweet Bonanza is one of the most iconic titles in our portfolio, so bringing it into the POP universe presented an exciting opportunity to evolve a player-favourite while retaining the elements that have made it so successful.
“Sweet Bonanza POP combines the colourful personality of the POP brand with fast-paced gameplay, persistent multipliers and a trio of instant jackpots, creating a fresh take on a familiar experience.”
The structured evolution of an established title gives operators a direct route to refresh floor or lobby content with minimal re-education for existing players. Performance data on the new multiplier and instant-prize layers will determine whether the POP treatment extends the IP’s commercial cycle or simply recycles prior interest.
