Sweet Alchemy is a video slot launched in March 2018 by the software developer Play’n GO which has done an incredible job designing the game. With an appealing theme, vibrant and colorful graphics and some pretty astounding animations and sounds, the game offers so much more than just reels you spin to win.
While playing the slot, you will be offered different goals to reach as the game comes packed with mouth-watering features. Instead of creating winning lines, you will create clusters to win prizes that can reach a staggering amount of 3,000x your bet in a single spin.
Low-value candy symbols of different shapes and colors award from 2x to 6x your bet for 8 and more matching symbols. High-value symbols are also represented by candied which reward you from 15x to 30x your stake if you create a cluster with 8 or more of these symbols.
Sweet Alchemy features a 5x5 grid. You can a bet from a range between $0.10 and $100.
With no paylines to land wins on, Sweet Alchemy gives us clusters, where you must have at least 4 matching symbols to form a winning combination. As soon as it pays a prize, this combination will disappear and new symbols will fall on the grid, offering new chances to win. All wins are registered on the left side of the grid and fill the Treasure Chest.
You can change the speed mode if you fancy a fast paced game or you can set the Autoplay mode if you want to relax and watch candies falling down and giving you a sugar rush.
On the right side of the grid you will see the Sugar Rush Meter which fills up whenever you win. As you fill the meter, you are rewarded with Wilds that will replace symbols, remove an entire column or a row of symbols or remove all instances of a randomly chosen symbol.
With 38 consecutive wins you will fill the meter and activate the Mix the Elixir Bonus featuring 3 different Candy Spells. As soon as the round is triggered, a 9x9 grid will cover the screen and an Alchemist will appear to help you each time you are out of luck. She will cast Sugar Bomb to explode random symbols, Mixed Candy to shuffle the symbols and create wins or Sweet Surprise where 7 to 12 Wild replace random symbols.
At this stage, you can also trigger additional features. On the first level, you will get the Elixir of Power feature which is a Pick Me game offering you to choose from chocolate tiles to reveal 3 matching potions and awarding multipliers going up to 10x.
Completing this round will help you move on the Treasure Trail Map, giving you chances to land on the Treasure Chest and obtain prizes reaching the value of 15% of your winnings from the base game.
Be sure to try out Sweet Alchemy on any device of your choice. Though the game and its progress might sound somewhat confusing and complicated in the beginning, once you start playing, you will realize the features are triggered quite often and the game rewards pretty well. The meters will bring you drama and make playing more interesting and fast-paced.
