Pragmatic Play adds live casino component to Sweet Bonanza slot

iGaming industry content provider Pragmatic Play is adding a new game to its live casino offering, the company announced on Wednesday. Sweet Bonanza Candyland builds upon the slot hit Sweet Bonanza and gives it “a live casino makeover,” according to a press release.

Mega wheel-style game Sweet Bonanza Candyland will be broadcast from a specially built brand-new studio. The title seamlessly combines both virtual reality and a real-life environment in a “truly immersive” experience, says Pragmatic.

The wheel featured in the game contains a total of six separate betting positions. Four of these are numbers rewarding a fixed payout multiplier should the player correctly choose the winning sections of 1x, 2x, 5x or 10x, as well as two bonus games.

Sweet Spins is the main of these bonus games, and awards players 10 free spins, with the same mechanics as the Sweet Bonanza slot played out live on a big screen. Candy Drop is a separate multiplier bonus game, played out on a virtual “plinko” wall maze: in this feature, the player’s selected Candy Ball will collect randomly generated multipliers on the wall before paying out the winnings at the end of the round.

The day has finally arrived! 🍭

Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is now live and available for operators! 🍬

Our latest title offers true cross-sell potential with a convergence of Live Casino and Slots unlike anything else in the industry today.

Sweet Bonanza Candyland also contains the Sugar Bomb feature, where a random multiplier of up to 10x will drop, and a respin will be triggered. If a player selects the Sugar Bomb Booster, the awarded multiplier will double up to 20x. The Sugar Bomb is the same symbol that featured as a multiplier in the slot game, making it a familiar feature for players of Sweet Bonanza.

Pragmatic Play describes its new product as featuring dynamic lighting, bright colors, animations and sounds that seamlessly merge on “a sensory feat” that creates “a truly unique” gaming experience. Featuring vibrant pinks, purples and yellows, it has been developed to contrast among other live casino titles with red and green tables and dealers dressed in black.

"Sweet Bonanza is one of our most recognizable slot games and we're thrilled to announce we've taken that to our Live Casino studios with the launch of Sweet Bonanza Candyland,” said Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play. “We truly believe that this title will offer true cross-sell potential to operators with a convergence of Live Casino and Slots that is unlike anything else out there.”

Sweet Bonanza Candyland is available 24/7 with low-latency streaming and auto-play functionality. The release marks the latest addition to the supplier’s live portfolio, following the recent release of ONE Blackjack 2 - Indigo.

Announced earlier this month, ONE Blackjack 2 - Indigo marks the second installment to the ONE Blackjack series. The product retains the basics of the popular casino game, coupled with “an outstanding new Chroma studio” that ensures the highest industry broadcasting standards, according to the company.
