Sweet Loot (Pragmatic Play): a pirate crew, a candy island, and a top row of multipliers worth up to 500x, under a 10,000x ceiling
Published 29 October 2026. Pragmatic Play releases Sweet Loot on 29 October 2026, and it pairs two settings that rarely share a grid: a pirate crew and a candy island. A bearded captain with a golden cutlass leads the crew across marshmallow-pink sand, past frosted waterfalls, with candy-striped monkeys and neon parrots among the symbols. The game itself is a 6-reel, 5-row scatter-pays slot: eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid or the top row pay, winning symbols tumble away, and new ones drop in. Above reels 2 to 5 sits a four-cell horizontal reel, and that row is where the money is: symbols there can carry multipliers of up to 500x. RTP 96.53%, medium volatility, 10,000x max win.

Eight symbols anywhere, and a top row that does the heavy lifting
There are no paylines to follow. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid or the top row form a win, the winners tumble away, and fresh symbols drop in until no new win forms. That loop is familiar from Pragmatic Play's other scatter-pays games. What is new here is the top row: the four cells above reels 2 to 5 hold extra symbols, and those symbols can carry multiplier overlays. The values run from 2x up to 500x, through 3x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x and 200x. When a symbol with a multiplier takes part in a win, the win is multiplied by the sum of all multipliers involved, not by their product, so two multipliers on one win add up rather than compounding.
Scatters pay on their own in the base game too: four, five or six scatters pay 3x, 10x or 100x the bet. The published hit frequency is 28.17%, roughly one winning spin in every 3.55, which fits the medium volatility rating: wins come often enough to keep the balance moving, but the big numbers still depend on the top row lining up with a strong tumble.
Free Spins with a multiplier on every spin, then Super Free Spins
Four, five or six scatters trigger 10, 20 or 30 Free Spins, plus an instant prize of up to 2,000x the bet. During the round, at least one symbol on the top row is guaranteed to carry a random multiplier on every spin, so no free spin is ever a plain spin. Landing three or more scatters during the round adds five more spins.
Super Scatters only appear on the top row. If at least one Super Scatter forms part of the triggering combination, the round becomes Super Free Spins instead: every symbol on the top row carries a random multiplier on every spin, with a minimum value of 10x. That is the round the whole design points at, four guaranteed multipliers per spin instead of one, and the reason the 10,000x ceiling is reachable at all.
Special Bets, and a buy menu with two prices
The bet menu offers more than a stake size. Ante Bet 1 doubles the chance of triggering Free Spins, and Ante Bet 2 lifts that chance sevenfold. Two Super Spin modes go the other way: they guarantee multipliers on the top row on every spin, at least 50x in Super Spin 2, but Free Spins cannot trigger while they run, so they trade the bonus rounds for a constantly boosted base game. Players who want the rounds at once can buy in: 100x the total bet triggers Free Spins or Super Free Spins at random, and 500x guarantees Super Free Spins. Where buy options and Special Bets are offered depends on the market and the operator; check the in-game panel at a licensed casino.
What to check before playing
The headline RTP of 96.53% is the top version. Other versions run at 95.49% and 94.50%, so the figure at a given casino is worth checking before spinning, not after. Availability also varies by market, and the 10,000x ceiling is a maximum, not an expectation: it needs the Super Free Spins round, a strong tumble chain, and high multipliers landing together. The appeal here is the top row itself, a small strip of four cells that turns an ordinary scatter-pays game into one where every spin carries a visible chance of a multiplied win. Players who like that constant small tension will find the hook. Players who want one symbol to change everything will find the base game familiar.
