Tasty Treats Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Tasty Treats Slot
Tasty Treats Slot paytable

Confectionary-themed slots have always proven to be popular; I mean, you only need to look at the success of Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush 1000 from Pragmatic Play to realise that players have an affinity with all things sugary. The latest provider to send us into a land of sweet delights is Hacksaw Gaming, with their aptly named title Tasty Treats slot game, and if you like the what the provider has to offer in this genre of game, you might want to try out their Jelly Slice slot too, which features a very interesting in-game slice mechanic.

Let’s get into the pays of the game, and as always, we’ll start at the top of the paytable where the Donut is the highest paying symbol worth 60x the bet for winning clusters of 15 or more. Next, we have five more premium symbols, which are the Cheesecake, Muffin, Jam Roll, and Slice of Cake, all sharing the same payout of 50x stake if 15+ are part of a winning combo. This brings us to the low pays, where the Orange, Blue, Purple, Red and Green boiled sweets all have equal returns of 20x. Finally, there’s a Wild symbol in the game represented by the W. This does not have a monetary award but will substitute for all other in-game symbols.

Time to wrap up this section by ending with the possible bets that can be placed on Tasty Treats. These are fairly standard for Hacksaw Gaming, and players can choose to stake from a minimum of €0.20 up to a maximum of €100.


Base Game & Modifiers

Tasty Treats Slot
Tasty Treats Slot base game

Played out over a reel format of 6×5, Tasty Treats online slot will require you to connect 5 matching symbols adjacently for a win to be awarded. The game as previously mentioned runs on the cluster pays engine, so there are no fixed or set paylines for you look out for. There are however a number of other modifiers and bonuses that appear in the slot, so it’s time to take a look at what these are.


Cascading Reels

Every time that you successfully create a winning cluster of symbols, it will cause those symbols to explode and they will be removed from the reels. New symbols will then fall from above to fill the spaces that the initial explosion left behind. Create another win from this and the whole process will happen again, with it only coming to an end when you fail to make a new win.


Bubble Boosters

The Bubble Boosters feature can randomly trigger on any spin, or at the end of a reel cascade. You’ll see between 1 – 5 bubbles floating up over the reels where they will pop in random positions to reveal some modifiers that can help you out. The bubbles can appear in 3 sizes in total, which are 1×1, 2×2, and 3×3, with their potential rewards being wilds, multipliers, or a mixture of the two.


Monster Hand

With the ability to randomly trigger at any time, the Monster Hand feature will remove either the symbols from the left side of the reels, the symbols from the right side of the reels, or all of the symbols from the reels. New symbols will then drop down to give you a chance of creating additional wins.


Tasty Treats Slot Free Spins Feature

The free spins feature will be triggered on Tasty Treats video slot when 3 scatter symbols land in view. Rather than there being a set amount of spins that this will award, the free spin symbols themselves will each reveal an amount ranging from 2 – 5.


Free Spins Feature

Once the feature begins, it plays identically to the base game. However, the Bubble Boosters now appear much more frequently, which, of course, increases your chances of landing a significant win.


Bonus Buy

Players who reside in a jurisdiction where the ability to buy the bonus is active can instantly trigger the free spin round at a fixed cost of 129x the bet.


Pros

  • The 10,000x jackpot is an attractive top win.
  • Candy slots with cascading reels remain as popular as ever.

Cons

  • It feels hard to achieve more than the buy cost when you purchase the feature outright.
  • Below average RTP.

Tasty Treats Slot Review Final Thoughts

I guess, like most other players, I tend to enjoy the sweet-themed slots, and Tasty Treats was a fun game to play while I was reviewing it. Ultimately, whether you win anything of any substance on this slot will boil down to how well you fair from the Bubble Boosters during the free spin feature. I had varied luck and only got over 100x a couple of times, but I did only play around 10 bonus rounds.
