Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Loot Hides Multipliers Up Top
This week’s games news has a sweet-and-salty edge to it: Pragmatic Play’s latest slot sends players hunting for candy-coated treasure on the high seas, while a Racing Post review has put fresh eyes on one of the studio’s live roulette hybrids. Both show the same studio pulling in two directions at once – inventing new grid mechanics on one hand, and bolting slot-style multipliers onto a classic table game on the other.
Pragmatic Play Sets Sail With Sweet Loot
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.
The game sits in the crowded candy-slot space, where
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.
The mechanics give it a bit of a twist on the usual formula.
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, 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 line forms,
the sum of all multiplier values present in that combination is applied to the total spin win.
That multiplier row marks a genuine change of approach for the studio, described as
a structural departure from Pragmatic Play’s standard scatter-pays format
.
Numbers-wise,
the game carries an RTP of 96.53%, with medium volatility and a hit frequency of approximately 28%.
You’ll also find the familiar Pragmatic toolkit alongside it:
Tumble, Multiplier Symbol, Bonus Game, Special Bets, and Feature Buy
options, so players who prefer to skip straight to the free spins can pay to do so. For UK players already well stocked with candy-themed Pragmatic titles, Sweet Loot’s appeal rests on that multiplier row rather than reinventing the wheel – it is, essentially, a familiar tumbling grid with a new place for the big numbers to land.
Gates of Olympus Roulette Gets a Fresh Look
A new Racing Post review has turned the spotlight back on Gates of Olympus Roulette, Pragmatic Play’s mash-up of its blockbuster slot IP and a live roulette wheel. The game folds slot-style bonus rounds into a standard European table:
Gates of Olympus Roulette is a Pragmatic Play live game show that combines single-zero European roulette with Lucky Number multipliers, a Super Booster, and a Gates of Olympus bonus game.
Each round plays out with a fixed sequence of extras layered on top of the spin.
How it plays: European roulette themed on the Gates of Olympus slot: each round draws one Bonus Number and up to seven Lucky Numbers (50x to 250x); hitting the Bonus Number opens a 6×5 tumbling slot bonus.
On top of that,
the Super Booster amplifies multipliers by 2x–10x, enabling wins of up to 2,500x in the base game and 10,000x in the bonus round.
What sets it apart from the table games UK players might already be used to is how the RTP is structured.
Pragmatic Play states a 97.30% RTP for Gates of Olympus Roulette and describes that figure as applying uniformly across every bet type, including straight-up bets, unlike Evolution’s Lightning Roulette, which cuts straight-up RTP to fund its multiplier pool.
It plays in similar territory to the number-multiplier roulette formats already familiar to UK live lobbies, but with Pragmatic’s own slot mechanic sitting underneath rather than a borrowed one.
Where it all fits
Both titles show the same studio working the gap between its slot catalogue and other verticals – one new slot borrowing a trick from live game shows, and one live game show borrowing a trick from slots. For UK players, it means more ways to meet familiar mechanics: multiplier rows, bonus buys and themed bonus games, whether you’re sat at a reel or a wheel.
