Sweet Alchemy 2

Let's face it, online slots with unique themes are becoming increasingly hard to find. While the theme isn't necessarily the most important aspect of a casino game, the Sweet Alchemy series also has a variety of different features to keep players entertained, all of which will be covered later. This title revolves around a witch who is cooking up a variety of treats, with the background consisting of a bright laboratory. In total, the Sweet Alchemy 2 slot features 9 reels, a cluster pays mechanic, and a minimum stake size of 0.10 per spin. 

This title was created by Play'n Go, a company that focuses heavily on mobile compatibility, alongside making each release look as appealing as possible. Sweet Alchemy 2 ticks both of these boxes, with the game available to play on a desktop, phone, or tablet. Of course, Play'n Go have a range of other casino slots in their portfolio, including the likes of Moon Princess 100, Fat Frankies, and Eye of Atum.

As for the standard symbols in Sweet Alchemy 2, these are represented by light blue, purple, green, and dark blue sweets. Premiums have a bit more detail to them, with a dark red, pink, light red, and yellow sweet all appearing on the reels. Should 20 or more of this form a cluster, players can be awarded with 125x, 150x, 200x, or 250x their stake size, respectively. 

This title also comes with two different wilds, including a gobstopper and striped variation, with both being able to replace any icon as part of a cluster. When gobstoppers land, they will come with a certain number of uses, up to 5, while striped wilds will remove all chocolate blocks along the same row and column. 

At the start of each spin, all of the symbols will drop in a 5x5 area in the middle of the board. Should a matching cluster form, the symbols will be removed from the board, and new ones will drop in to fill the space. In addition to this, a corresponding number of chocolate bars surrounding the icons will break, further expanding the playing area. For example, if five symbols are part of a cluster, then five chocolate blocks will be removed. This is reset at the end of each spin, too. 

Should all of the chocolate blocks on the board be removed, players will be awarded with a total of 4 free spins, with the potential for giant 2x2 symbols to appear. The same number of chocolate blocks as before will appear before the free spins commence, and if they're cleared, an additional four spins will be awarded. This can happen a maximum of three times, with 3x3 and 4x4 symbols being introduced on retriggers 2 and 3. 

Finally, certain symbols that form clusters will be collected and added to a meter on the right of the screen. This meter displays the required number of icons, alongside which one is to be collected. If this is filled, players will be awarded with a potion, up to a maximum of three. Each potion will allow a spin on the bonus wheel, which can multiplier the potential winnings for the round by a maximum of 25.

In conclusion, the theme and mechanics in Sweet Alchemy 2 are just as unique as each other. Although the cascade mechanic is found in many slots online, they have been used in a fresh way in this title!
