There are a number of popular slot games online that use the separate themes of magic and candy so, why shouldn’t they come together? Sweet Alchemy from Play ‘n Go has harnessed the two genres perfectly in a game where some charming graphics meet entertaining play.

The serious side develops with three separate wilds and a potentially valuable Sugar Rush meter and, if it all sounds interesting, please read on and we’ll guide you through the gameplay.

Sweet Alchemy Game Features

Sweet Alchemy is played out on a 5x5 reel grid which employs the Clusterpay system. This means that there are no traditional paylines but wins will form when four or more matching symbols attach in a horizontal or vertical cluster.

Images that we need to match all relate to the theme of the game with a host of sweet treats of all different colours and shapes. It’s a simple start but it’s those bonus features that really make Sweet Alchemy stand out from the rest.

Fill the Meter

Every win that forms during the base game will start to fill up that Sugar Rush meter sitting to the left of the reel grid. As it continues to fill, wild symbols will be added to the game. When the meter is a quarter full, two regular wilds will appear and these replace other base game symbols as they look to form winning matches.

Fill the meter up to halfway and two striped wilds drop to the reels. These also act as standard wilds but will remove other symbols in the row or column that they are in. At three quarters full, the meter will now release dotted wilds which will remove randomly selected symbols.

The meter has one final surprise in store with the Mix the Elixir bonus game which activates when it’s full. Three Candy Spells are now awarded in a section which is played out on an extended 9x9 reel grid. Mixed Candy, Sweet Surprise and Sugar Bombs are the spells which can award respins, additional wilds and cascades.

Three levels are on the line in this bonus round and the ultimate aim is to trigger the Elixir of Power feature which is a pick game with added multipliers at stake.
