Like all the best cluster pays slots, Relax Gaming have packed Sweetopia Royale with tons of features, so it rarely sits still and the entertainment levels are high throughout.
Re-Spins With Extra Modifiers
At the heart of the game is this re-spin feature which stands in for the more common cascading wins event that we see in most grid slots.
After each win, the winning clusters lock in place and a re-spin follows. If more symbols are added to the cluster then the process repeats. And so on, until no more symbols are added to the cluster and no more clusters appear. Then the payout is awarded.
The good part is, when the re-spin feature is playing, random modifiers MAY also land to help improve the payout. There are 3 modifiers and they work like this:
- Candy Cannon – 2 to 8 symbols matching those in the winning clusters are added anywhere on the grid
- Sweet Upgrade – symbols in the winning cluster are upgraded to the next symbol type in the paytable
- Candy Clusters – where symbols of the same type as in the cluster appears on the same row or reel as the cluster, like magic they are dragged onto it to increase its size
Random Extras At The Start or End of a Game Round
This generous feature gives you more chances to win at the start or end of any game round. There are 2 possibilities here:
- Sweet Surprise – at the start of your game round a super-sized 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 mystery symbol is added to the grid to reveal a pay symbol or coin.
- Lucky Respin – at the end of the game round, every position on the grid that is adjacent to a winning cluster re-spins, potentially adding more symbols to that cluster
In both cases, if this creates more wins, or new wins, then the re-spin feature kicks in too.
Combining Clusters
This one is particularly powerful. Where you have two separate clusters on the grid, but in adjacent positions, then they form one super cluster where the symbols takes the value of the highest value cluster.
Then, the re-spins kicks in again.
Candy Coin Re-Spins
The Candy Coin Re-Spin takes the game in a slightly different direction.
As well as sweets and cakes there are coins in the paytable. These have random values assigned to them from 1x to 1,000x and they too can form clusters. The difference is, when a cluster of coins form, the re-spin only reveals blanks, more coins, or the canon, cluster or upgrade modifiers.
Coin clusters can be very valuable if you get lucky with the numbers. And to help you, the Sweet Surprise and Lucky Respin features may also randomly trigger during Candy Coin Re-Spins.
Free Spins With Enhanced Modifiers
In the free spins round the modifiers take on a progressive element which makes the gameplay more exciting and the prizes potentially greater. You need to land at least 3 scatters to trigger the round as follows:
- 3 scatters – 5 free spins
- 4 scatters – 6 free spins
- 5 scatters – 7 free spins
- 6 scatters – 8 free spins
- 7 scatters – 9 free spins
Now, on every FIFTH re-spin, ONE of the three modifiers – Candy Canon, Sweet Upgrade, Canon Clusters – will be upgraded and ONE more free spin is added to your total. Each modifier has five levels and works as follows:
- Candy Canon – at each new level, between 2 and 8 symbols matching those in a winning cluster will be added to the reels
- Sweet Upgrade – at each new level, the symbols in a winning cluster are upgraded to the next value in the paytable
- Candy Cluster – in this case, not only do symbols matching the winning cluster appearing on the same reel or row get drawn into the cluster, but also any symbols between the cluster and the matching symbols get converted into the cluster symbol too.
After every modifier has been triggered 5 times, after each further 5 re-spins, then another spin is simply added to your total.
