Sweet Strike - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Sweet Strike, like all Skywind demo slots, is a modern game designed to please everyone from online slot novices to well-established fans. The candy theme offers something familiar - with enough unique twists to make this 20-payline game something extra special.

As you’d expect from a 21st-century slot Sweet Strike delivers the same great experience on all devices, whether mobile, tablet or desktop, so why not enjoy some demo mode play today?

Sweet Strike Graphics and Sound

The purple-blue night sky screen background offers up a stunning visual contrast to the starkly white reels themselves, really helping the colours to pop. Dramatic changes to night background are triggered by wins, and an appropriate music change announces the appearance of the red strike.

Wins are a very thing cool to experience, with the speed of the background music seriously ramped up as the winning coin numbers are displayed on the centre of the screen. As an added extra, a charming male voice chips in with encouraging comments like ‘good’ or ‘yummy’.

Sweet Strike RTP & Volatility

Players can enjoy a decent return of 96.01% on every 100 coins played over the long term of course. Combined with a medium volatility, this makes Sweet Strike an attractive slot for those who are looking to win a little more, a little less often, than with high-variance games.

How to Play Sweet Strike

1.    Look at the screen, taking the time to see where the main controls and buttons are placed.

2.    To very left is the total bet button with a plus and minus to make adjustments. These are in varying increments, with a variety of low-pegged wagers (six between 0.20 and 2.00) alongside meatier options jumping two to four each time until 20.

3.    The coin level auto adjusts, but how will you play - manually or auto? Auto options are 10/25/50/99 spins, but there are no extras like the chance to set a maximum spend or win.

4.    In manual play mode the ‘turbo’ button can be toggled for a superfast spin or two.

5.    Start spinning and get a feel for how things work, and then simply enjoy.

Sweet Strike Bonus Features

Most online slots feature some kind of bonus, though some are definitely more generous than others. Although there are no traditional free spins on offer, during Sweet Strike you do get to enjoy a variety of additional side games and extras throughout the entire game.

These bonuses are:

The ‘red lightning strike’ icon - this acts as a sub for all other symbols across all the reels. The ‘Sweet Strike’ feature - this is triggered when the red lightning strike icon appears on the third reel during both main and respin games, causing sticky wilds to appear randomly on the reels for various numbers of spins.

There are three levels of Sweet Strikes up for grabs:

-    1st - awarding 15 REGULAR sweet strikes and up to three sticky wilds
-    2nd - awarding up to 15 MEGA sweet strikes and up to five sticky wilds
-    3rd - awarding up to 15 INCREDIBLE sweet strikes and up to seven sticky wilds

The ‘Sweet Respin’

Every bonus qualifying win triggers a respin, which in turn can create more wins. There is no ceiling to this bonus: it simply runs until all possible winning options across the reels are exhausted.

Our Verdict

The theme is engaging, the colours appealing and the RTP is attractive - three factors which combine to make this a good slot for all players to dabble with. The number of bonus opportunities is also impressive, perhaps even a little too OTT sometimes as it can get a bit confusing.

Sweet Strike may be a detailed slot with lots of things going on, but it is still a pretty upfront game. For example, there are no unexpected surprises, such as the Mystery Symbols which drive many popular slot games. The good news is that Sweet Strike works well without this option, but it would also be cool to see how it fared if the designers added it on.

Get the most out of Sweet Strike by jumping right in and going with the flow of this candy-coloured whirl of action and excitement.

If you'd like to try a slot with even more sweetness, take a look at Sweet Bonanza online slot, where candies and fruit combine to create a sweet-toothed player's heaven. Sweet Bonanza has a slightly higher RTP than Sweet Strike and an unusual 'pay anywhere' feature which triggers wins on non-grouped symbols.
