Players on the lookout for the best video slots won’t want to miss out on Sugar & ICE Christmas, the Yuletide title from Mobilots Gaming.
This 5x5 cascading slot rewards players whether they’ve been naughty or nice – be on the lookout for Cinnamon Heart with its cumulative jackpot bonus.
Theme and Features
Mobilots has long been respected for its reliable, high-quality construction of its games, cross-platform optimization – although they create all kinds of well-built games, online slots have long been their area of passion and expertise.
In this sequel to their smash hit Sugar & Ice, it’s always the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
The first thing players will notice is the cascade gaming structure: all winning combinations will see their symbols disappear, with new ones falling into their places from above. In practice, this means that all winning combinations are accompanied by at least one free re-spin.
The holiday season is a great time for sweets, and the design team is happy to oblige: the reels are filled with shimmering candies, from green gumdrops to peppermints to chocolate truffles. The sugar cube is by far the highest-value symbol, offering a whopping 25x for four-of-a-kind and an astonishing 10,000x for the largest possible combination of 14-of-a-kind.
A woven Christmas wreath acts as wild, substituting for all other symbols to help form winning combinations.
This title’s most gaming important symbols, however…
… are the cinnamon heart jackpots. Unique among all gaming symbols, these wins will accumulate over time, paying out a win when the accumulated value reaches $50.
Betting Options and Functions
Rather than via traditional paylines, wins are awarded whenever four or more contiguous symbols appear on the reels.
Overall per-spin bet is set simply from 0.10–10.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 25 spins, though players should exercise caution, as there are no win/loss limits available.
Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower right corner of the game screen. Information regarding the theoretical return to player ratio is not available, which can be a red flag for experienced players.
Our Take
Mobilots has built a charming slot that will appeal to players no matter the season.
Of course, it would be nice to have precise RTP information, and perhaps an additional bonus feature to vary the rhythm of gameplay…
… but on the whole, we’d say that this slot falls into the category of nice, not naughty.
