Sweet Alchemy Slot Review

This Sweet Alchemy slot game is perfect for newbies and casual gamblers, as you get tutorials, a fun a happy theme, and some quick, easy wins.

Yet another casino game vendor is now attempting to lure in new players with slots which look remarkably similar to the sorts of games that you will find on Facebook and casual gaming mobile apps.

Thankfully, unlike other casino game providers, at least Play’n GO studios have added some substance to the Sweet Alchemy slot. It is a ton of fun to play.

It is evident that Sweet Alchemy has been designed specifically for new players. When you boot it up for the first time, you will be given a quick tutorial. It will run you through the ins and outs of how the game works.

Yes, this is probably going to be a bit on the boring side if you are a regular slot player, but new players are going to find it a massive help.

The new generation of video slots

Chances are, the Sweet Alchemy slot machine is unlike anything that you’ve ever played in your local casino.

Once you are in the actual game, you will be glad that you had that tutorial. You will be spinning the reels like a pro, hoping to nail yourself win after win.

You are going to learn so much about the world of slots here, including how clusters pays work… something which seems to be a very popular feature among grid slots now, like the Viking Runecraft game or Energoonz.

It is probably worth pointing out that this is a low to medium volatility slot with a low minimum bet (just 0.10!).

This, again, makes Sweet Alchemy ideal for newer players as you are not going to be blowing through your bankroll too quickly while you learn the ropes, but also casual gamblers who like to stay in the game a while.

The cartoon graphics look stunning

We are always concerned with cartoon-style games. This is because most of them are just an excuse for the design team to be lazy. However, you can tell that a whole lot of effort went into ensuring that this video slot looks stunning.

There are bright colours which pop out on both your mobile casino devices and your desktop computer. There are cute animations which are not too overboard and some wonderfully detailed symbols.

We can’t quite fathom why the game is called Sweet Alchemy, though. I would assume that the witch is trying to whip up some amazing potions, but I don't recognise any of the ingredient symbols. Some look like doughnuts and some look like jellybeans.

If we were to whip up a love potion using those ingredients, we’d only attract a very select group of people, none of them legal. Plot issues aside, this online and mobile slot game does look great.

This Sweet Alchemy slot has SOO many features

Once you dive into the features of the game, you are going to be glad you have that tutorial at the start, mostly because you can quickly get an idea of everything to look out for.

Thankfully, these are likely to appear in other slots so you can think of Sweet Alchemy as your “hardcore training” in preparation for other games.

What are cascading grids and cluster pays?

The way that this Play’n GO game pays out is a little different to what you may be used to. The game pays out in clusters. If a group of 4 symbols are touching horizontally or vertically, you get a payout.

Of course, in true 'Facebook game' style, once you have formed a winning combination, those symbols will disappear, and new ones will come down into their place – much like in the Thunderkick Esqueleto Explosivo slot, for example.

This means you could potentially win several times on a single spin.

The Sugar Rush Meter

Each time you get a winning combination, the little Sugar Rush Meter on the side of the screen will fill up. The more combinations you get, the higher it will fill and the more special features you will trigger:

• 6 Symbols: 2 regular wilds will appear randomly on the reels.
• 13 Symbols: 2 striped wilds. If they form a winning combination, they will also replace the other symbols on the reel.
• 25 Symbols: 2 dotted wilds. If they form a winning combination, one symbol on the reels will be removed which causes new ones to fall into place.
• 38 Symbols: free spins mode. You will enter a mode where you 'earn' free spins by collecting symbols.

The Sweet Alchemy free spins mode

In free spins mode, the size of the grid will increase. Rather than being 5×5, it will now be a 9×9 grid. More chances to win! You will either start with 3 or 7 free spins dependent on how well you did in the previous game mode.

Each time you spin, the Witch will do a bit of Witch stuff and perform a spell:

• Mixed Candy: the symbols on the reels are reshuffled.
• Sweet Surprise: up to 12 wilds appear on the reels.
• Sugar Bombs: up to 16 symbols are destroyed.

This casino game mode isn't over yet, though. You will now enter the Elixir of Power bonus game. This is basically a click-me-game where you can earn up to 10x your total bet.

Not a lot of cash, but every little helps, right?

The Sweet Alchemy Maps pays out 15% of your total wins

Each time that free spin/elixir of power bonus round pops up, you will move along a little map.

Every three times you trigger the round, you get to open a treasure chest. This will always give you 15% of whatever you have won between the last treasure chest you opened and this one.

It can be quite lucrative, especially if you’ve got some big wins along your travels.

This game is surprisingly engaging. Yes, the wealth of features is going to look intimidating to a new player, but it is a good 'training mode' for other slots on the market – Play’n GO’s Gemix is a good one to try next if you like this sweet treat.

The wins come in regularly enough and everything should be self-explanatory. You are going to have a blast in this Sweet Alchemy game.
