Sugar Parade

Get ready to set out on a thrilling adventure to the Candyland full of tasty treats and sweet features that will help you cash in on magnificent winnings while assuaging your sugar cravings. Powered by Microgaming, the cartoon-like slot is full of colors and vibrancy that will delight even the punters not having such great fondness for sweets. On the other hand, there’s no denying that the visual aspects may seem a bit too cutesy and childlike to some. Nevertheless, we don’t see any wrong in emphasizing the carefree factor, especially given that you can grab as much as 8,000 coins plus the incredible multiplier bonus that could ultimately pay up to 1,658x your bet on every free spin.

Even though Sugar Parade doesn’t boast impressive, cutting edge graphics like some other Microgaming releases such as Forbidden Throne, for instance, it still works very well and is very pleasing to the eye. Besides, it totally captures the spirit of childhood innocence and fantasy world in general. As far as gameplay goes, we must admit that it is a bit less enticing than we would expect, since we felt a bit limited in terms of winning options with modest 15 fixed paylines offered on the slot’s menu. On the other hand, the colorful title is well tailored for the less experienced punters or those in search of fun, since the rules and only two bonus features are rather easy to catch up. Lastly, the charming title falls into the low to medium variance category with an average return to player (RTP) of 96.5%.

Players can wager between 1 and 5 coins per spin, which practically translates to $0.15 per spin to the maximum of $75 in real money. The highest pay you can hope for is incredible 1,658x the bet. However, you need to be extremely lucky to hit that score, which is possible only by virtue of the 3x multiplier offered during the Free Spins feature. To get the top prize in the base game, you are required to align 5 Wild symbols on a payline and grab the potential 8,000 coins in such a way. Besides, Scatter symbols are another decent draw since they are paramount to triggering the free spins feature that could award as much as 20 free spins along with 3x multipliers. Finally, the good news is that the free spins can also be re-triggered.

Aptly designed icons help recreate the happy-go-lucky fantasy kingdom brimming with a lot of treats, specially made for those having a sweet tooth. The theme-related, anthropomorphized sugary treats provide the most generous payouts among all other symbols. These include various kinds of ice-cream and other candies. As a rule, the low-paying symbols come in the form of playing card icons, those being A, K, and Q. The game’s logo stands for the Wild symbol and substitutes for all apart from Scatter symbols represented by the ice-cream icon and the Bonus symbol depicted as a king-shaped candy.

Speaking of bonus features, there is not much that can be said. Unfortunately, there are only two of them supplied. To activate the Royal Bonus feature, you are required to land not less than 3 king Bonus symbols on a single line, starting from the left. It looks like a picking game, actually, and the number of picks you will get is determined by the number of Bonus symbols you land on the reels. You can potentially be awarded 3, 4 or 5 picks that hide a different cash prize. On the other hand, the free spins feature is triggered by pitching at least three ice-cream Scatters anywhere on the reels, for which you will be granted 10 free spins. You will love the fact that all winnings pay triple during this round. Finally, the free spins can be reactivated so the maximum number of free rounds can potentially reach 20 free spins.
