Il Pasticcere - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

This food themed slot should come with a warning - don’t play it if you’re already feeling hungry! The bakery setting means a paytable that’s rich with cakes and treats. The baker himself pays the most, followed by gooey chocolate gateaux, biscuits, utensils, bags of flour, a croissant and two eggs.

Even the familiar lower value letters/numbers are tasty. They come bearing gingerbread men and candy canes. All this sugar aside, Il Pasticcere’s free spins feature is stellar. Most online slots award free rounds nowadays, but World Match has put the effort in to make these spins superior to what’s on offer elsewhere.

Land enough menu scatters to earn the free spins, but not before you pick a dessert! Each dessert promises a multiplier as high as x6 so there’s plenty to play for. Rat wilds appear too, and these might even expand. Il Pasticcere features 5 reels and you can expect to see 3 symbols on each.

Theme, Graphics & Design

Food is the primary design feature on Il Pasticcere, and there's lots of it. The setting itself is unfortunately quite bland and mostly hidden behind the grid, but the reels are a work of art. Pots and pans piled at the side indicate the number of paylines in play and foodies the world over will revel in the paytable.

Rarely if ever do symbols look good enough to eat but the gateaux and the croissant had us drooling. Even the smaller desserts (there’s a gingerbread man on the A symbol and a partially melted cupcake on Q) look delicious. The visual style is cartoonish but not enough to detract from the various foods.

Music (when it plays) is wonderfully jaunty. It has a slightly French feel and we could well imagine strolling into a Parisian bakery as the soundtrack played. The music is so appealing, in fact, that we would have preferred to hear more of it. Limiting it just to when the reels spin is an odd decision.

Il Pasticcere RTP and Variance

With a medium volatility rating, Il Pasticcere is somewhat reliable, at least compared to high volatility alternatives. Its RTP is (only slightly) below average at 95.64% and there’s a top win of x2000. 

How to Play Il Pasticcere

Surrounded by so much delicious food it’s easy to get distracted! This guide will help you sample Il Pasticcere’s delights without hitting any problems:

1. World Match always lay out their slots well and Il Pasticcere is no exception. Most of the main control buttons are at the bottom left of the screen.
2. Start with the cog, followed by the speaker, to set the volume.
3. Tap 'i' next. You’ll have a few choices in the subsequent submenu. The question mark displays the game rules and the trophy shows the paytable, both important reading.
4. Adjusting your stake is intuitive. Simply press 'bet level' until you’ve hit the desired total.
5. Il Pasticcere lets players choose up to 1,000 automatic spins. Use the autoplay icon and keep pressing until you’ve set your spins.
6. Work out a reasonable budget and then hit spin to get baking!

Bet & Win Sizes

Il Pasticcere has the look of an expensive bakery but its minimum bet is only 0.10. That can be raised to a maximum of 20. The highest line win is paid for baker symbols. If you’re fortunate enough to land x5 of these expect a payout of x2000.

The other symbols aren’t too shabby either.

Five bakers = x 2000

Five gateaux = x 1000

Five biscuits = x 600

Five utensils = x 500

Five bags of flour = x 400

Five croissants = x 200

Five eggs = x 200

Five As = x 100

Five Ks = x 90

Five Qs = x 90

Il Pasticcere only has 10 paylines which is a slight shame and the highest prize is x2000.

Il Pasticcere Free Spins

Il Pasticcere would definitely have benefited from a few more bonus games, but we get the impression that World Match wanted to put all its efforts into perfecting one, rather than spreading the features too thinly.

The result is an excellent free spins bonus that can hold its own against any rivals.

Earning Free Spins

A pair of menus are Il Pasticcere’s scatter symbol. They don’t payout but they do award 10 free spins to any players lucky enough to land 3. At that point remember to accept the spins when prompted.

Multiplier Game

Before you start spinning it’s time for dessert. You’ll be whisked away to the poshest part of the restaurant and asked to choose between a series of desserts. Each one will give you a different free spin multiplier (x2, x4 or x6). Don’t overthink it too much though, because the choice is essentially random.

Il Pasticcere Review - Final thoughts

Who doesn’t love a sweet dessert every so often? Il Pasticcere’s reels are mouthwatering. Rather than going over the top with visions of bright candy and flowing chocolate lakes, World Match has wisely focussed on the class and style of high-end French bakeries.

The result is an online slot that looks as good as it plays. Although we were disappointed to find that there was only one bonus, the free spins round is excellent. Being able to win a multiplier as high as x6 adds a new dimension and the dessert bonus game is a fun aside.

Il Pasticcere will appeal to food lovers but there’s plenty more going on to tickle anybody's taste buds!

Gastronomes will also find the delicious Bakers Treat slot here at Slots Temple and it has plenty more sweetness to offer!
