Game Overview
Candy slots have carved out a popular nice in the slot gaming market, with each one vying to be the most sugar-coated, candy-crammed, and toothache-inducing wonderland imaginable. You probably know the drill by now, and that’s reels full of candy symbols that explode amidst a backdrop of a world made out of candy floss, ice cream, and all the other goodies that ensure dentists are never short of business. Offering the latest sugar high is King Midas Games, with its release of Sugar Blast Frenzy, a 6×6 cluster pays slot with a 96.98% RTP and a 3,000x the stake maximum win.
As is often the case, this theme is joined by a cluster pays mechanic and cascading reels, which means winning symbols explode so that more can drop into potentially create further wins. However, KingMidas has added another layer to that exploding madness by adding special symbols into the mix. These appear after combinations of a specific size and will trigger to remove lines of symbols, explode those around them, all remove instances of a random type. Plus, those special symbols can combine to create even better modifiers. Combine three of them, and all symbols are removed from the reels, while a multiplier of 2x in the base game and 10x in the free spins is applied to wins created on the subsequent cascade. Speaking of the free spins bonus, all winning payouts are doubled.
I’ll explain all those special symbols and their powers in more detail shortly, but if you can’t wait that long, check them out for yourself on the Sugar Blast Frenzy slot demo below.
theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Considering how many there are, if you’re into candy-themed slots, you must feel like a kid in a sweet shop when choosing another to play. Personally, if I’m in the mood for some sugary slot action, I stick to some of the classics, such as Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush, while Red Tiger Gaming’s lesser-known Peggy Sweets is another I load up on occasion. Sweet Alchemy 2, with its massive 9×9 reel format and 10,000x the stake maximum win, is worth a look, too, if you’re after another suggestion.
Entering this world of candy and trying some real money play on Sugar Blast Frenzy will require a minimum stake of €0.20 per spin. The maximum wager supported is €100.00, which I’d imagine is adequate enough for the big spenders among you.
Base Game & Modifiers
KingMidas has gone with a 6-reel and 6-row reel setup on Sugar Blast Frenzy, and a cluster pays mechanic is in play. You’re paid when four or more matching symbols land in clusters when they’re connected horizontally or vertically anywhere in the reels.
Matched symbols explode, causing a cascade of newer symbols to drop in from above the reels. This can lead to further wins and more cascades from just one paid spin, with the process continues until no more combinations are created.
Special Symbols
When winning combinations of 5 or more matching symbols are created, special symbols will appear in one of the positions as part of the cascade:
- Kola Rocket: If a winning cluster contains 5 symbols, a Kola Rocket blasts across the reels, clearing all symbols in a line.
- Cocoa Bomb: If 6 are in a cluster, a Cocoa Bomb appears and explodes. The explosion removes all symbols within a position radius around the bomb.
- Random Candy: When combinations of 7 matching symbols strike, a Random Candy symbol is chosen, and all instances are removed from the reels.
If two of the above special symbols appear next to each other on the reels, they’ll combine to create even better powers:
- Kola Rocket & Kola Rocket: Three rockets now appear and clear all symbols in lines vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.
- Kola Rocket & Cocoa Bomb: Symbols across three rows or columns are destroyed.
- Kola Rocket & Random Candy: As well as destroying all instances of one random symbol, this combination removes all symbols in lines horizontally and vertically.
- Cocoa Bomb & Cocoa Bomb: These combine to create an explosion that removes all symbols in a 5×5 area around them.
- Cocoa Bomb & Random Symbol: This destroys all instances of one symbol and causes a 5×5 diamond-shaped explosion.
- Random Candy & Random Candy: Destroys all instances of three randomly chosen symbols.
Sugar Blast
Combining three or more special symbols creates a huge explosion that removes all symbols from the reels. Furthermore, any wins from the resulting cascade have a 2x multiplier applied during the base game and a 10x multiplier applied during the free spins bonus.
Sugar Blast Frenzy slot bonus features
Sugar Blast Frenzy has no scatter symbols, so triggering the free spins bonus is done another way. You’ll receive at least 5 free spins after four or more consecutive cascades on a base game spin.
Free Spins Feature
You receive 5, 10, 15, or 20 free spins for 4, 5, 6, or 7 consecutive cascades, respectively. The spins are identical to regular base game spins, but payouts now have a 2x win multiplier applied.
Bonus Buy
You can purchase the free spins bonus game for 50x the current spin bet. The resulting spin will deliver at least 5 free spins.
Pros
- Dynamic gameplay with cascading reels and special symbol mechanics
Cons
- I feel the low 3,000x maximum win will push players to other candy-themed slots.
Sugar Blast Frenzy Slot Review Final Thoughts
King Midas couldn't have gone for a more competitive theme for this release, but it offers something different from what we’ve seen before in this genre. It’s the addition of special symbols that trigger all sorts of candy-crushing chaos that makes this one stand out from the crowd. The potential for cascading wins combined with multipliers, especially when those special symbols combine and create bigger blasts, keeps things exciting with every spin.
