Pragmatic Play launches Sweet Loot slot with multiplier top row

The game’s horizontal multiplier row, carrying values up to 500x, marks a structural departure from Pragmatic Play’s standard scatter-pays format.

Candy-themed scatter-pays slots have become one of the most competitive sub-genres in online slots, with several major suppliers releasing grid-based sequels and variants in 2026. Pragmatic Play launched Sweet Loot on 29 October 2026, a pirate-themed 6×6 slot combining a scatter-pays grid with a dedicated multiplier row and two free spins modes.

Grid structure and base game mechanics

Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Loot is played on a 6×5 grid using a scatter-pays mechanic, awarding wins when eight or more matching pirate-themed symbols land anywhere in view. The grid is supplemented by a horizontal reel positioned above reels two to five, where symbols can carry multiplier overlays with values of up to 500x. When a winning combination forms, the sum of all multiplier values present in that combination is applied to the total spin win.

The game carries an RTP of 96.53%, with medium volatility and a hit frequency of approximately 28%.

Bonus game and Super Free Spins

Landing four to six scatters triggers the bonus game, awarding between 10 and 30 free spins alongside an instant cash prize of up to 2,000x. At least one multiplier overlay is guaranteed on every spin during the feature, and landing three further scatters during the round awards five additional spins.

A second bonus mode, Super Free Spins, is activated when Super Scatters form part of the triggering combination. In this enhanced mode, all four symbols on the horizontal top row carry a multiplier overlay, increasing the potential multiplier contribution on each spin.

Market availability

• Sweet Loot went live globally on 29 October 2026.
• Staged rollouts apply in Spain, Greece, Italy, Peru, and Romania, where the game is scheduled to launch on 26 November 2026.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said:

‘We wanted to give Sweet Loot a distinctive personality, bringing a colourful cast of gummy pirates into a treasure-hunting adventure. The horizontal reel adds an interesting dimension to the gameplay, with its changing multiplier values creating a sense of anticipation as each tumble unfolds.’

Sweet Loot follows recent Pragmatic Play slot releases including Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000, which launched on 12 October 2026, and Sweet Bonanza POP.
