Got a sweet tooth? Do you want some magic mixed in with your bag of candy? Well, Play’n GO have got you covered with their excellent Sweet Alchemy slot game. Sweet Alchemy is a candy-themed slot that is chock full of bonuses and unique cascading reels. If you were, or are, a Candy Crush fan, then Sweet Alchemy will rock your world, especially the opportunity to win real cash!
As soon as you fire up the Sweet Alchemy slot, you will be greeted with reels filled with delicious candies. You will also notice the Sugar Rush Meter positioned on the bottom right, which when fully charged, will spoil you with a wealth of options and winning opportunities. The graphics are inviting, the soundtrack is well matched, and the animations will make you feel like a kid again. The game also features all the standard in-game online slot options that include Auto Play, the Max Bet and a range of coin settings that let you adjust the game to fit in with your style of play. The game also offers you the potential to win crazy cash, but you will need to land a cluster of 4 or more symbols – the bigger your cluster, the bigger the payout! As each cluster forms, it then explodes and the candies above cascade down for even more potential clusters.
Every win in a single round, begins to charge up the Sugar Rush Meter. As the Sugar Rush Meter fills up, special Wilds are created on the reels. The first are 2 regular wilds, followed by 2 striped wilds and finally, 2 powerful spotted wilds. Obviously, as wilds are added, more clusters form and there are more wins! If you don’t fill the Sugar Rush Meter in the round, it then resets.
Another fantastic feature is the Elixir of Power Bonus, which is a 5×5 chocolate bar with hidden prizes behind each chocolate square. In this feature, you need to select chocolate squares and get 3 matching elixirs to win a prize, being various multipliers.
Every time you complete the Elixir of Power bonus feature, you then progress a position on the map which is filled with treasure chests scattered all over. Each chest rewards you with an extra 15% of your winnings from the base game, since the previous chest was opened.
Sweet Alchemy has lots of cute and sweet candy symbols that appear on the reels. The symbols are jelly beans, chewy hearts, stars, cubes and more. The star symbol is the most valuable and if you get 8 stars clustered at the max bet, Sweet Alchemy pays up to 30 times your stake. In addition, the slot also has 3 different wild symbols.
Sweet Alchemy doesn’t have a single dedicated bonus round but instead, is packed with features as described above, including the Elixir of Power Bonus which is followed by the Map feature.
Free spins come in the form of Mix the Elixir Free Rounds. If you’re fortunate enough to get 38 winning symbols in a single round to fill the Sugar Rush Meter, it then triggers the Mix the Elixir Free Round that features 3 Candy Spells. For every 3 additional winning symbols, this awards an additional Candy Spell, up to a maximum of 7. The Mix the Elixir Free Round takes place on a 9×9 grid, with the aim of the game being to collect the required symbols by forming winning clusters. There are 3 levels; level 1 triggers the Elixir of Power Bonus and levels 2 and 3 boost the bonus prizes. Plus, did we mention Candy? She helps you win even more, by casting candy spells:
Sweet Alchemy does not have a fixed jackpot and is not linked to any progressive jackpot. The various features increase your winning potential, so if Lady Luck is on your side, you can expect some huge wins.
Sweet Alchemy features a 5×5 grid. The bet amount is per round and not split over different lines as the game does not operate like a regular slot with paylines.
This slot has a return to player percentage of 96.5%, which is well within the bracket of the top paying online slot games.
