Sugar Frenzy - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Get ready for a sugar rush when you enter the super-sweet world of this 5x5 Triple Cherry slot. See if the 40 reels will dish up winning treats with the help of candy hooks with special powers, respin explosions, stacked wilds and free spins.

Sugar Frenzy Theme and Storyline

This is another slot that goes down the road made so popular by the Candy Crush game. Like others such as the Sweet Bonanza slot, Sugar Frenzy aims to take you on a journey to a dreamworld filled with candy and jellybeans. The downside is that there are giant monsters there who want to feed on the special candies - and perhaps unwary players too! Don’t worry too much about encountering these monsters, though, as they actually help you to uncover some tasty treats in the form of the prizes on offer in this Triple Cherry slot.

Sugar Frenzy RTP and Variance

The theoretical return to player rate of this game is 95.22 per cent. This is a little below the average of around 96 per cent. It is a medium-variance game, given five out of ten for volatility by its makers.

Sugar Frenzy Bonus Features

The main feature in this game is a free spins bonus. This features a chilli hook symbol that can fill up a progress bar with unlimited spins until this happens.

The bonus round takes place in the stomach of a giant monster after he eats you but is far less horrifying than it sounds. This is not the only bonus on offer, either, and so let’s take a closer look at what mouth-watering features you could encounter if you choose to give this game a go:

Sweet Hook

A candy-carrying sweet hook can make an appearance from the top right of the reels after a spin. This hook can move a reel left after a spin, and if it meets a reel with a grey gumdrop special symbol, it can cause one of four effects. These are:

Wild Form

The special symbol eats the yellow symbol and causes icons around it to turn wild.

Respin Explosion

The special symbol eats the red sweet and creates a respin explosion. This explosion makes existing symbols disappear and be replaced by more that could create winning combinations.

Direct Prize

An instant win will be yours if the special symbol eats the green sweet.

Free Spins

The free spins bonus is launched if the special symbol eats the blue sweet. You then stay in this area until the progress bar is completed. During the free spins, a chilli hook can appear, and it moves the reel left after each spin. Again, action is on the cards if this results in the grey gumdrop special symbol being met. This will result in the appearance of different-sized chillies. The smallest chilli will boost your progress bar by 25 per cent, while the medium one will give it a 35 per cent increase. The largest chilli obviously offers the biggest rise in the form of a 50 per cent increase. The free spins end when the progress bar is full.

Sugar Frenzy Review

This is a fun-looking game with no shortage of sweet characters. When we tried it, the demo didn't run as smoothly as we would have liked and the in-game instructions are a little difficult to understand. You can enjoy a decent number of free spins, however, and, whilst the RTP is not great, the slot can deliver on entertainment value if nothing else.
