Sweets are shared almost entirely by two studios, Pragmatic Play and Play’n GO, and the difference between them is easy to see. Pragmatic builds its whole sweet shelf on pay-anywhere and clusters. Sweet Bonanza from 2019 is medium volatility with 96.48% RTP and x21,175. Its 1000 edition, out on 3 June 2024, raises the cap to x25,000 at a high label, and Super Scatter, from 31 July 2025, adds a new symbol and promises x50,000. Sweet Bonanza vs Sweet Bonanza 1000 examines the first two in depth.
Sugar Rush is built on field memory: cells where wins already happened turn into multipliers. It came out on 30 June 2022 with high volatility and x5000, and the 1000 version lifts that to x25,000. Sweet Kingdom of 1 July 2024 swims against the stream: a 7×7 board, chests and a golden key, low volatility and x10,000. Sweet Powernudge, with reels that shift down and a side reel of multipliers up to x10, holds a medium label and x5000. The cluster pays guide explains how these groups work.
Play’n GO runs its sweet line more gently. Sweet Alchemy from 2018 offers x3000 at medium volatility, while the second instalment moved to a very high label and x10,000. Honey Rush, with a hexagonal grid of 37 honeycomb cells, was the studio’s first cascading slot on that layout.
Other studios add surprises. NetEnt’s Reel Rush grows its field in front of you: it starts at 45 ways and rises to 3,125, with 96.96% RTP and x1000. BGaming’s Bonanza Billion gives x15,000 at high volatility, and Push Gaming’s Wild Swarm 2 x10,000. Thunderkick’s Greedy Pumpking is the stingiest of the group, returning just 94.15%.
For quiet play take Reel Rush or Sweet Kingdom; for risk, Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter or Sweet Alchemy 2.
