Sweet Alchemy Slot
Play’n GO have clearly taken inspiration from popular mobile games like Candy Crush in the development of this multi-level, pseudo-quest driven, cascading slot game. Sweet Alchemy has a lot to keep you occupied as you spin to win in a sugary wonderland.
Theme, Sounds and Symbols
In this Play’n GO slot game, you’re welcomed by a young witch who far from conjuring spells is bent on cooking up nothing but sweet treats and needs your help to do it. Our protagonist is pretty in pink and dons a candy-striped witch’s hat to finish off her ensemble. She doesn’t play any part in the slots themselves acting rather as your guide and narrator.
She is super excited about candy, and everything is wonderful and oh so magical. The background music is as whimsical and light-hearted as she is. This game feels like a Disney Princess training ground in some parts!
The overall aesthetic follows the magical candy land theme perfectly with the 5x5 grid set against mounds of puffy purple candy floss clouds! The high and low-value reel symbols themselves are all variations of shiny candied treats covering everything from cupcakes to doughnuts to jelly beans.
There are 3 varieties of a Wild symbol. These are regular Wild treats, Striped Wild candies and a Dotted Wilds chocolate cookie.
Game Mechanics
This super cute and colourful candy-coated wonderland is applied to a based game consisting of a 5x5 grid. The symbol slots of this grid are crammed full of delectable candy symbols waiting to be collected and added to the witches’ cauldron.
To complete a winning combination in Sweet Alchemy, you need to land 4 or more matching symbols in a vertical or horizontal line. Collecting candies in this way charges the Sugar Rush Meter for a special treat.
If you’re new to Sweet Alchemy and want to test it without breaking the bank betting limits can be set as low as €0.10 per spin. However, if you're going to maximise your possible return with the 3000x your bet max bonus, then you can spin at €100.00 per spin!
Bonus Features
There’s no need to sugar coat it, Sweet Alchemy is jam-packed with tasty bonus features.
Sugar Rush Meter
Collecting candies in winning paylines powers up the Sugar Rush Meter in Sweet Alchemy. As you reach the levels below you will immediately trigger a special feature that will help you string together winning combos:
- Collect 6 candies - turn 2 random symbols into Wilds to complete winning combinations
- Collect 13 candies - turn 2 symbols into Striped Wilds that remove all candies either vertically or horizontally
- Collect 25 candies - turn 2 symbols into Dotted Wilds that removes all candies of a randomly selected type from the board
- Collect 38 candies – to trigger the free Mix the Elixir bonus round
Mix the Elixir
Unlocking the Mix the Elixir free round sees the play area morph from a 5x5 to a 9x9 grid! Below the Witch, you will see a Bonus board showing you which two candies you need to collect, and how many of each, to power up your prizes in the Mix the Elixir free round!
All winning combinations will add to your balance in this bonus round but only completing winning paylines with those specified candies will help you collect the 3 stars you need to collect the top prize values.
During Mix the Elixir the candy Witch will help you complete winning combination by using her special Magic Potions on your 7 spins. On any non-winning spin she will randomly select one the following spells to cast on the reels:
- Sugar bombs – drops exploding cherry bombs on the reels to destroy candies
- Mixed candy – resets the existing reel symbols in winning combinations
- Sweet surprise – drops cake boxes on the reels containing random Wilds
Elixir of Power
Once you complete your 7 spins on Mix the Elixir you activate the Elixir of Power feature. Here you are presented with a giant 5x5 chocolate slab. Simply pick the blocks you want to eat to uncover the potion hidden behind it. The game ends once you have found 3 matching potions, with the maximum reward being a 10x win multiplier!
Head to the MAP!
After completing the Elixir of Power feature, you will be shown the map of your progress. As you progress along with the map you receive bonuses from the candies you find along the way.
The waypoints you really care about are the treasure chests dotted along the path. Each chest contains approximately 15% of your total wins since the last chest you collected!
Play ‘On The Go’
There is nothing sweeter than having your freedom. Sweet Alchemy is available on your favourite mobile devices across all platforms including Apple iOS, Android and Windows. Allowing you the freedom to play whenever and wherever you want to.
CasinoWow Game Verdict
Sweet Alchemy is an amazing cascading slot game, Play’n GO have moved the need with this one in terms of on-screen interaction with the main character, bonus features and quest to keep you entertained. While it will appeal to the casual gambler, it will be unlikely to hold the attention of the serious punter for long. Many other slots have far bigger jackpots than their 3000x and get to the action far quicker. While the quests and mini-games are fun, they do cost you the time you could be spending on achieving a jackpot-winning payline.
Don't miss the opportunities that Play'n GO gave you very frequently with their exclusive Play'n GO bonuses.
