Overview
The Sweet Bonanza series is a collection of fruit and candy themed slots from Pragmatic Play. The original Sweet Bonanza came out in June 2019, and it has stayed popular for so long that Pragmatic Play itself calls it “one of the most popular and beloved games in the industry.”
The rules are simple. You win when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the 6-reel screen, and winning symbols burst so new ones drop in with a tumble. Free spins, triggered by lollipop scatters, add candy bomb multiplier symbols. Sequels have built on this framework with different multiplier caps and screen layouts, and AI Slot has 8 of them.

Changes in recent versions
Super Scatter: The July 2025 game adds the Super Scatter feature, and its max win of 50,000x is the highest in the series based on the AI Slot database.
POP: Sweet Bonanza POP, released in October 2026, is part of Pragmatic Play’s casual POP brand. On a 3×5 screen, 5 or more matching symbols win, and the candy bomb multiplier in free spins goes up to 1,000x. When the bonus starts, 1, 2, or 3 POP symbols award separate instant prizes of 50x, 500x, and 25,000x.
Dice: The two Dice versions use dice symbols instead of fruit and candy.
