Sugar Parade

Overdose of sugary treats is a reoccurring dream or nightmare throughout our culture, and it comes as no surprise that the subject has made its way into the realm of online slots. Microgaming’s Sugar Parade fills the screen with cartoonish sugary treats, free spins and other bonus features. Five reels in three rows with fifteen paylines makes this a rather ordinary slot with a theme we’re all familiar with. How does the game fare when it comes to playing then? Does it leave a sweet or sour taste lingering in your mouth? Read below to find out!

Theme

The game opens up with a cavalcade of tinkle-eyed characters, which also function as the main high value symbols. The background is clearly some sort of candyland, with the sounds combining all elements into cheerful music. For one reason or another the whole theme reminded me of the hit internet show Happy Tree Friends. There are a total of fifteen paylines, which are all fixed as is the trend these days. Microgaming has kept the colourful and cheering palette throughout the game.

Betting Options and Functions

In Sugar parade you get to choose both bet per line and coins per line. With 15 paylines you can choose to bet one to five coins per line, with a coin value ranging from 0.01 credits to a full credit. Maximum stake for a single spin is 75 credits. Maximum win from during free spins is 120 000 credits.

Not counting wilds and scatters the game has eight symbols, all of relatively modest value. The big wins come through the bonus features. The highest normal line win with max bet is around 2500 credits, whereas five wilds on the line can sum up to a staggering 37 500 credits. Clearly what you’re spinning for is a bit of good luck.

Features

The main bonus game are the free spins. These are triggered with 3, 4 or 5 scatters, and come ten at a time. The free spins can be re-triggered by landing three or more scatters on a single free spin. All wins are multiplied by three during the bonus rounds. The free games are played with the same stake as the round that spun them forth.

The second bonus game you get is called “Pick a treat”. You’ll see twelve balloons on the screen and get to pick between three and five of them depending on how many special symbols triggered the feature. Each picked balloon gives the player a specific cash prize, which is then added to the line wins.

Our Take

Sugar Parade is a lively little game, well fit for mobile devices and desktops alike. It might not hold the players attention forever, but it does certainly offer entertainment and prizes for a good few spins. This pokie is also clearly aimed for those who are in love with freespins, as it offers them quite often. Satisfy your sweet tooth and try the game yourself!
