Sweet Burst by Pragmatic Play, read from the game's own settings

Sweet Burst is a Pragmatic Play slot with a small grid of 15 cells. Five or more matching symbols anywhere on it pay, the winners vanish, new ones drop in, and a 10-spin bonus adds multipliers worth up to 1,000×. Wins are capped at 5,000× the stake. We took the numbers below from two places on 12 November 2026: the game’s page on pragmaticplay.com, and the settings the official demo server sends to the game when it starts (the doInit response, which carries the paytable, the coin list and the RTP). When the two sources differ, you get both figures.

Sweet Burst slot specs: studio page against the demo build

Item	pragmaticplay.com says	Demo build says
Grid	“3×5”	3 reels, 5 rows
Wins	5 to 9+ matching symbols anywhere, up to 50×	Pay tiers for 5–6, 7–8 and 9–15 symbols; top tier 50×
RTP	96.50%	96.52% normal, 96.54% with ante, 96.56% for a bought bonus
Max win	not given	5,000× (shown as 1,667× of the larger ante stake)
Free spins	3+ scatters give 10; up to 10 more on a retrigger	our bought round ran 10 spins; buy priced at 100× the stake
Multipliers	up to 1,000× during the feature	sixteen values from 2× to 1,000×
Volatility	not given	not given

The RTP gap is 0.02 points, and we can’t tell from outside which of the two figures is the rounded one. A casino’s copy of the game shows its own RTP in the in-game info screen. That screen describes the version you are actually spinning, so read it there.

Sweet Burst coin sizes and bet levels

Every spin costs 10 coins, which makes the stake the coin value times ten. Our demo session ran in US dollars and listed 28 coin values:

• Cent coins: 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05.
• Tens of cents: 0.10, 0.20 (the default), 0.30, 0.40, 0.50 and 0.75.
• Whole coins: every value from 1 through 10, then 12, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22 and 25.

Coin value	Normal spin	Spin with ante	Bonus buy
0.01 (lowest)	$0.10	$0.30	$10
0.20 (default)	$2	$6	$200
1.00	$10	$30	$1,000
25.00 (highest)	$250	$750	$25,000

The settings had no separate bet-level list, so in this build the coin value is the only stake dial. We tested the two extra prices with play money, not just by reading the config: one ante spin at the 0.20 coin took $6.00 off the balance, and buying the bonus took $200.00. Casinos pick the currency and can trim the top of the range. In Great Britain the legal cap per slot spin (see the country notes) sits far below $250.

How Sweet Burst pays: the paytable as multiples of the stake

The game uses six regular fruit gummies plus a scatter and a multiplier symbol. The demo settings label the fruit by number, not by name, so the table ranks them from the top payer down.

Symbol rank	5–6 matching	7–8 matching	9 or more
1 (top)	8×	25×	50×
2	2×	10×	25×
3	1×	4×	10×
4	0.6×	1.2×	6×
5	0.5×	1×	5×
6	0.4×	0.8×	4×

Nine of a kind means more than half the screen in one fruit, so the right-hand column is rare. A group of five or six from the bottom three ranks pays less than you staked. What makes the low hits add up is the tumble.

Tumbles: one paid spin, several wins

After a win the winning gummies are cleared and the gaps refill from above. If the refill forms another group of five or more, it pays again at no extra cost, and this repeats until a refill misses. We played 20 demo spins at $2 to see it happen. Sixteen of them paid nothing. One spin opened with a $1.60 win and then hit eleven more tumbles in a row, ending on $34.60, about 17 times the stake. That single chain made the whole session a small profit ($45.60 back from $40 staked). Twenty spins prove nothing about the average, but they do show the pattern: lots of empty spins, then most of the money arriving at once.

Free spins and multipliers up to 1,000×

Three or more scatters start 10 free spins, and a retrigger inside the round adds up to 10 more. During the round, multiplier symbols can land on any spin. The demo build lists sixteen values: every step from 2× to 6×, then 8×, 10×, 12× and 15×, a middle group of 20×, 25× and 50×, and a top group of 100×, 250×, 500× and 1,000×. A multiplier only matters on a spin that also pays, and then it multiplies that spin’s win.

We bought the round once in the demo for $200 of play money to watch it. Multiplier symbols appeared on four of the ten spins (2×, 5×, 5× and 10×), but only one of those spins paid anything: a 5× turned $1.80 into $9.00. The whole bonus returned $10.20, so the buy lost about 95% of its price. One round is a sample of one. We mention it because a bought bonus that pays back only a small part of its cost is a normal result, not a broken game.

Ante bet and bonus buy

The demo build includes both extras:

• Ante bet. It raises the spin from 10 coins to 30, so the stake triples. RTP moves to 96.54%. The cap reads 1,667× of the ante stake, which is the same cash ceiling as 5,000× of the normal stake.
• Bonus buy. It costs 1,000 coins (100× the normal stake) and goes straight to the free spins, at 96.56% RTP.

The game’s code has switches that let an operator hide the ante and the buy where its licence calls for it. So you may not see one or both of them at a given casino, even though the demo has them.

Sweet Burst max win: 5,000× and how often it lands

The settings put the cap at 5,000× and add a field that we read as the frequency of max-win rounds: about one in 2,252,252 normal rounds, and one in 347,705 with the ante on. Pragmatic Play doesn’t explain those fields publicly, so treat our reading as an interpretation. The studio page doesn’t give a volatility rating either. Third-party slot databases call the game high-volatility, and both our long dry stretch in the base game and the cheap bonus round fit that label.

Sweet Burst demo: where the free version lives

The demo is on Pragmatic Play’s own game page, where the play button opens the game from the studio’s demo server. You confirm you are 18 or older, and no account is needed. Our session started with 100,000 in play money and a $2 default stake. Every table on this page comes from that same build, so the demo behaves like the game described here and is a fair way to get a feel for the tumbles and the bonus. Plenty of licensed casinos offer a free mode as well; for British players, UK Gambling Commission rules require an age check before any free-play game is shown. We don’t embed the game here.

For real-money play, and only if your country and state allow it, this button opens our partner’s current offer. The partner picks the casino, which may not be any brand you see mentioned here.

Not the game you searched for? Sugar Burst, Candy Burst, Sweet Harvest

Several candy-themed slots have similar names, and searches mix them up:

• Sugar Burst is a Red Rake Gaming slot: a 6×6 grid with cascades, released in 2025. None of the figures on this page apply to it.
• Candy Burst is another separate game. Slot databases usually credit it to PG Soft, but PG Soft’s site blocked us, so we couldn’t confirm that with the studio.
• Sweet Harvest is an older five-reel game that slot listings credit to Microgaming. Same caveat: we have not checked it with the studio.
• Pragmatic Play’s own candy titles, such as Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush, are separate games on bigger grids.

Playing for real money in the US, UK, India and Australia

• United States. Online casino gaming is a state-level decision in the US, and the majority of states still say no. Where it is legal, the age rule can be stricter than 18+: in New Jersey, for example, the Division of Gaming Enforcement requires players to be 21 and physically inside the state. Whether Sweet Burst is approved in a given state is a question for that state’s regulator.
• Great Britain. The Gambling Commission caps online slot stakes per spin: £5 from age 25, and £2 for anyone aged 18–24. The £5 cap started on 9 April 2025; the £2 cap followed on 21 May 2025.
• India. Section 5 of the country’s 2025 online gaming law forbids offering any online money game, and a slot played for cash is one. From India, Sweet Burst is legally a demo-only game.
• Australia. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casinos and online slots may not be offered to people in Australia, and the ACMA has internet providers block offshore casino sites.

House edge and what it means for your session

An RTP of 96.52% leaves the house about $3.48 of every $100 staked over a very long run. One evening is not a long run. Results swing far above and below that figure, and the 20 spins and one bonus above showed both directions within minutes. Choose your spending limit before you load any slot, and stop when it is gone. Sweet Burst is for adults only (18+, and 21+ in some US states). Our page on staying in control lists free helplines for the US, UK and Australia.
