Pragmatic Play launched Sweet Bonanza POP, bringing its Sweet Bonanza intellectual property into the supplier’s POP series on 20 October 2026. The release runs on a 3x5 grid with tumbling reels and uses the POP-series mechanic set, the company said.
Game design and win mechanics
Sweet Bonanza POP awards wins by matching 5–9+ symbols anywhere on the reels. The base game employs tumbling reels: winning symbols are removed and new symbols fall into place, allowing consecutive wins within a single spin.
Bonus feature and instant prizes
The bonus game triggers when any combination of 3+ lollipop scatters or POP symbols land, awarding 10 free spins. During the free spins feature, landing 2–3 scatters adds 5–10 additional free spins. Triggering the bonus with 1, 2, or 3 POP symbols also pays an instant prize of 50x, 500x, or the 25,000x max win, respectively.
Multipliers and payout mechanics
The free spins introduce Candy Bomb multipliers of up to 1,000x. Multipliers from Candy Bombs are totalled at the end of each tumbling sequence and then applied to the spin win.
Supplier comment
"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," said Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play.
McHugh added that Sweet Bonanza POP pairs the POP brand's personality with fast gameplay, persistent multipliers and a trio of instant jackpots. The POP series is part of Pragmatic Play's B2B release slate and will sit alongside other franchise entries in the supplier's catalog. You can view the game's casino features and mechanics in operator lobbies and product pages.
