Super Sugar Pop is the third Sugar Pop slot so far; it’s preceded by Sugar Pop and Sugar Pop 2: Double Dipped. The first one came out a decade before, rolling out with 5 reels, while the second had 7×7 cluster reels. The Super Sugar Pop release is a 6-reel scatter pay game, so there’s virtually no similarity between the three. However, it’s the one with insane winning potential, having its peak at 26,390x the stake. The RTP is considerably lower than with the first one (which peaked at 97.30%) but it’s more realistic and suitable for the time of its release.
Inside the game, you’ll have the pleasure of enjoying the Hold & Win feature and Free Spins. The Hold & Win feature is a popular one for Betsoft, and it seems most of its newer slots come equipped with this specific booster. When it comes to Free Spins, they feature Multiplier Bombs, which is a fun way to get Multipliers worth up to 100x. Free Spins can also be retriggered, which is a bonus. But there’s no Buy Bonus, so there’s balance in the universe.
The annoyingly sweet slot has a decent 96.50% RTP which gives you room to experiment without risking too much. The hit rate in base game (24.44%) is lower than in the Spins, when it climbs to 50.05%. Did we mention that this is a Scatter Pay slot? That means you just need the right number of icons, anywhere on the grid, to generate a win.
SHOW MORESHOW MORESHOW LESSIf you did not get a toothache from all the sugar in the first Sugar Pop slots, Super Sugar Pop is here to rectify that.
Namely, Super Sugar Pop is the name of the third Sugar Pop slot. It all started with Sugar Pop in 2014, and it’s clear Betsoft values its classic as they decided to give it another go with Super Sugar Pop.
In the third sugary instalment, players face a 6×6 grid (unlike 5-reel and 7-reel predecessors) that use a Pay Anywhere mechanics. That means that you basically just need at least 8 icons to score a win, or 12+ to get the highest payout.
Symbols in the game include a gummy set of card royals J, Q, K, and A, which pay from 0.20x to 0.64x for 8-9 symbols, or 1.60x-6.40x for 12+. They are followed by three geometrical shaped-candy worth 0.80x-1.60x for 8-9, and 8x-12x for 12+ symbols.
Then we have the top symbols, a green lolly and a red heart paying 2x-8x for 8-9 or 20x-40x for 12+ icons. ultimately, the game’s main symbol is the bomb which pays 2.40x for 4 OAK, up to 80x for 6 OAK.
To play, first select a bet that fits the $0.25-$13 betting range. You can win up to 26,390x the stake.
Game features in Super Sugar Pop include the Hold & Win feature, as well as Free Spins.
Bonus symbols are chocolate balls unlocking the Hold & Win feature. You need 8 or more of these to get the booster.
Inside the feature, you start off with 3 Respins and a grid that contains either Bonus symbols or blanks. Bonus icons carry prizes too – 10x to 500x – and your goal is to collect as many as possible. As help, you have Crush, Collect, and Double symbols as well, as they reset the counter to 3 whenever at least 1 of them lands on the grid. If there are no such icons, your counter goes by 1 Respin, until you reach 0 and the feature ends.
Now, the Collect symbol collects all Bonus symbol values into one symbol worth the collected value from all previous Bonus symbols. The Double doubles the values of randomly picked Bonus symbols and then vanishes. The Crush icon crushes all Bonuses and then transforms into a Bonus symbol with their values added together, landing at the bottom of the reel.
You go on until you either use all Respins or fill the entire grid with Bonus symbols. At the end, all values are paid out.
The Bomb, or the Scatter, unlocks Free Spins. Four or more give you 10 spins; but you can retrigger the feature by getting 5 extra spins with 3 extra Scatters that land during Free Spins.
The main thing with Free Spins are the Multiplier Bombs, which explode on a winning spin and apply all Multiplier values to the win at the end of the cascade. Multiplier Bombs can also have 2x to 100x values. You may see more than one Multiplier Bomb on the grid per spin.
So, what’s the verdict on the third Sugar Pop slot? Is it any good? Is it worth your time?
Compared to the two previous games, it neither has the highest RTP nor reels. It does, however, offer an insane potential of 26, 390x the stake. For some players, that might not mean much, but we believe others might be interested in that fact. Gameplaywise, it’s a toss between oversaturated and fun.
On one hand, the theme is cute and, surprisingly, not over-exhausted. On the other, the features are not that unique and we’ve seen this exact combo several times before. Still, it’s a third part of the slot saga, and so we think it will manage to attract a wide audience simply because of its affiliation with one of the oldest Betsoft slots.
