Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, has taken its sensational slot hit Sweet Bonanza and given it a Live Casino makeover.

Sweet Bonanza Candyland is a mega wheel-style game, broadcast from a brand-new, specially built studio. The title seamlessly combines both virtual reality and a real-life environment, giving a truly immersive experience.

The wheel contains six separate betting positions, four of which are numbers rewarding a fixed payout multiplier if a player correctly choses the winning selection, of 1x, 2x, 5x or 10x, as well as two bonus games.

Sweet Spins is the main bonus game and awards players 10 free spins, with the same mechanics as the Sweet Bonanza slot, played out live on the big screen, where players can enjoy huge wins. Candy Drop is a separate multiplier bonus game, played out on a virtual ‘plinko’ wall maze. In this game, the players selected Candy Ball will collect randomly generated multipliers on the wall, before paying out the collected winnings at the end of the round.

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 all the way up to 20x. The Sugar Bomb is the same symbol that featured as a multiplier in the slot game, highlighting how the game offers a familiar experience for those who adore Sweet Bonanza.

Featuring dynamic lighting, bright colours, animations and sounds that seamlessly merge, it is a sensory feat that creates a truly unique game. Amongst a myriad of other Live Casino titles with red and green tables and dealers dressed in black, Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is unapologetically vibrant with pinks, purples and yellows.

Available 24/7, with low-latency streaming and auto-play functionality, Sweet Bonanza Candyland contains all the features expected in a Pragmatic Play Live Casino hit.

Sweet Bonanza Candyland is the newest addition to the supplier’s live portfolio, following recent release ONE Blackjack 2 – Indigo along with other successes like Andar Bahar and Mega Wheel

Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Sweet Bonanza is one of our most recognisable slot games and we’re thrilled to announce we’ve taken that to our Live Casino studios with the launch of Sweet Bonanza Candyland. 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.

“It is a truly unique addition that showcases the ambition of Pragmatic Play, as we continue on our journey of being the leading multi-product provider to the industry.”

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino, Virtual Sports and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.

EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.

The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.

EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.

Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.

The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.

Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.

“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”

According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.

The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.

Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
