Sweet Alchemy Slot

As the title gives away, this Sweet Alchemy slot game by Play’n Go centres around sweet treats alongside an animated alchemist character named Candy. Following its release onto the market in 2018, this title quickly developed a reputation and has since seen sequel releases follow in its wake. There are plenty of online slots which use sweet imagery in play, though none have done so like the Sweet Alchemy slot, one of the most iconic slot games in the industry.

The gameplay here is held inside a 5-reel, 5-row playtable that is already unique compared to more traditional and even jackpot slots, which use fixed paylines in play. As opposed to more standard base game mechanics, matched combinations in Sweet Alchemy are formed when 4 or more of the same symbols land in play, connected either vertically or horizontally.

The square-shaped playgrid is positioned centre screen here, with the symbols on each spin of Sweet Alchemy being presented over a simple cream backdrop. The rest of the playscreen is backed by a pleasant night sky scene, visible above a lilac-coloured cloud which fills the bottom of the screen. To the right of the playground, the alchemist character is positioned over a bubbling cauldron that features the Sugar Rush Meter, a bonus mechanic which can be triggered in Sweet Alchemy.

All of the play symbols in Sweet Alchemy are based on different classical sweets, a refreshing change from playing card or fruit symbols seen in many online casino games. The main difference between higher and lower value symbols in play regarding design is that there is more detail put into the higher value sweets. All of these Sweet Alchemy symbols feature brightly coloured sweets that can trigger prizes when more than 4 land connected on screen.

Along with the symbols mentioned above, there are bonus additions to play, which, of course, carry on the sweet theme in their design. These are the swirly Wild, striped Wilds, dotted Wild and various other additions which can be triggered through bonus mechanics in Sweet Alchemy. 

To begin with, the Sweet Alchemy slot features cascading reels, triggered with every symbol combination formed in play. When this occurs, the symbol combination is removed from the grid, and new symbols are dropped down from above to fill the gap. This mechanic can occur numerous times in a single spin and trigger multiple prize values in play.

Every symbol combination formed in a single spin adds to the Sugar Rush Meter on screen, and filling this meter could trigger Wild symbols added to the reels in Sweet Alchemy. The first level here brings the swirly Wild to play, which can step in for any base game symbols to make or increase a cluster on the reels. The second level can trigger horizontal or vertical striped Wilds that feature substitution mechanics and remove entire reels or columns they land in once any combinations are formed. The third level triggers dotted Wilds that choose a random symbol in Sweet Alchemy and remove all of that specific symbol from the playtable. If the Sugar Rush meter is filled entirely, the Mix the Elixir bonus is triggered.

The Mix the Elixir bonus feature triggers 3 candy spells with additional symbol clusters, adding +1 spin to the count up to a maximum of 7 in Sweet Alchemy. This bonus game is played on a 9-reel, 9-row playgrid, which exceeds that of even Megaways slots, where players can hope to collect symbols by forming clusters in play. The collected symbols here can trigger the Elixir of Power level 1, 2 or 3 in play.

In Mix the Elixir, the alchemist on screen can cast candy spells onto the grid; these are:

Sugar Bombs - Explode symbols at random

Sweet Surprise - Random symbols are turned into Wilds

Mixed Candy - Shuffles symbol positions to form clusters

The Elixir of Power bonus in Sweet Alchemy is basically a pick’n’win bonus where players choose from 25 chocolate tiles on screen to reveal prize values. Matching 3 of the elixir symbol will trigger its related prize value, which varies depending on the level of this feature triggered; these are:

Each time an Elixir of Power bonus is finished, the player advances across a treasure map where chests are scattered at random. If triggered, the treasure chest can award 15% of the total base game prize value triggered since the last treasure chest, a very unique addition to the Sweet Alchemy title

All of the interesting play features in Sweet Alchemy are compatible with devices of varying screen sizes due to the HTML5 software featured in development. This mechanic allows players at BOYLE Casino with a secure internet connection to experience the same gameplay with smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop PCs.

The alchemist and sweet-based imagery in Sweet Alchemy provides gameplay unlike anything else on the market.

Players looking for a more traditional theme may enjoy Luckys Wild Pub 2 or the Book of Atem slot.
