Game Overview

Sweets have been an increasingly common theme in the world of online slots during the past few years – a situation which I often attribute to the success of match-three mobile games such as the insanely popular Candy Crush. The latest addition to the genre comes courtesy of BGaming and is named Sweet Rush Megaways. The slot offers the familiar maximum of 117,649 payways, alongside a 96.71% RTP and a top jackpot of 12,960x the player’s stake.

There are so many Megaways games available nowadays that developers really need to make an effort if they are going to make them stand out. The easiest way to do this is, of course, to pack in a large number of features, and this is the route that BGaming has gone down with this release. For example, wild symbols come with multipliers of up to 3x, making them insanely valuable once you reach the bonus round, where they also become sticky. More scatters mean more free spins, up to a maximum of 16 per bonus round, and there are both bonus bet and bonus buy facilities available to make it easier – and faster – to reach that part of the game.

Your parents probably told you to avoid too many sweets as they would make you sick, but I’d recommend casting that advice aside on this occasion! So go ahead and gorge yourself on our free demo slot of Sweet Rush Megaways – it’s available to play below:

I wasn’t kidding when I said that sweet-based slots have become unbelievably common! A quick peek at the Demoslot review library reveals titles such as Sweet Bonanza, Sweet Alchemy 2, and Stars’n’Sweets, all of which share a similar theme but still manage to have a somewhat distinctive look to them. The same can be said about Sweet Rush Megaways, too – it’s surprising just how much variety slot developers have managed to achieve with their various sweet-themed slots. I have to say that BGaming’s attempt is one of the best-looking of the bunch as well – the animations are smooth, the cutesy characters are well-drawn, and the symbol graphics are presented in glorious high-definition.

Two large block character symbols head up the paytable; the green variety is worth 10x the total bet for a full payway of six of a kind, whilst the pinks return half as much at 5x for all six symbols. Next, there are four medium pays represented by different coloured sweets. The circular red sweets are the most valuable and pay 2x the total bet for a complete payway, whilst the blue, green, and purple varieties have lower payouts of 1x, 0.9x, and 0.8x, respectively. Finally, five royals make up the bottom section of the paytable, with returns ranging between 0.7x for six aces down to 0.5x for six tens.

Changing your current wager can be performed in two ways. Clicking the arrow symbols will step through the available bets one by one, whilst pressing your current bet directly opens a handy quick menu with all the available choices presented in a vertical list. The minimum/maximum bets have been set at €0.10 and €20.00, respectively.

Base Game & Modifiers

The basic gameplay of Sweet Rush Megaways will be immediately familiar to anyone who has tried a Megaways game before. The playfield consists of six reels, each of which will divide into a random number of rows during each game round. This results in a minimum of 64 payways should two rows land on all six reels or a maximum of 117,649 if seven rows occur instead. All of the symbols on the paytable require at least three matches on adjacent reels starting from the left to award a win.

Wild Symbols With Multipliers

Wild symbols take the appearance of a gumball machine, and each one gets a randomly selected multiplier of 1x, 2x, or 3x at the time it appears on the reels. Wilds can substitute for all other symbols except the game’s bonus-triggering scatter.

2x Chance Bonus Bet

If you want to get the opportunity to play the maximum possible number of bonus rounds, you’ll want to activate the ‘2x Chance’ slider located in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will bump up the cost of each spin by 50%, but in return, you’ll be doubling your chances of triggering the free spins and increasing the RTP slightly to 96.76%.

Sweet Rush Megaways Slot Bonus Features

Bonus scatter symbols appear on all six reels, and you’ll need to hit at least three of them during a single game round to win yourself a set of free spins. The number of spins awarded is determined by the number of triggering symbols – three gets you eight free spins, whilst four, five, or six will increase this to 10, 12, or 16, respectively.

Free Spins

During the free spins mode, any wild symbols that land on the reels will become sticky immediately after they land. This means that the symbol will remain in place – along with its multiplier – for the entire duration of the free spins feature.

Other than this, the free spins play out identically to the base game – but don’t take that as a negative! Sticky wild free spins are undoubtedly one of the most lucrative bonus rounds available in any online slot, and the version offered here has bags of potential to award a huge win.

Bonus Buy

Don’t want to wait for the free spins to occur naturally? No problem, provided you live in a region where bonus buy facilities are permitted! The cost to purchase a set of free spins is 100x the normal price of a game round, and the number of triggering scatters is determined randomly each time you make a purchase.

Sweet Rush Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts

Sweet Rush Megaways isn’t the most exciting Megaways game I’ve played this year, but it looks great and has an attractive jackpot and generous RTP.

None of that is likely to make a huge difference anyway – the slot-playing public’s hunger for more Megaways games seems to be insatiable, so I am confident that this one will get gobbled up quickly the minute it lands for real money play, regardless!
