Dedicated to a tempting assortment of bonbons and lollypops, with different flavours: milk, jelly, chocolate, caramel, fruity, minty, sweet and chewy, stretchy, soft and sticky. Don’t we all have a favourite candy? Don’t we all keep some secret yummy stash at our ‘candy buffet’?
The 15 pay-liner is rich in vivid and kaleidoscopic colours. The music provided by a sweet marching band and the cute stimulating sound for every winning event on the reels speed up when the tension of the candy spectacle rises.
Here you can benefit from the fun, delicious and promising Royal Bonus and Free Spins rounds. And one sweet day, the max win of 120 000 coins (calculated as 1600x the total bet via the max stake of 75 CAD) could be yours to pocket.
This quirky Low-Medium Volatility slot with plenty of high RTP – 96.50% – will surely wake up the sweet tooth in all players. Check the Sugar Parade online slot for free via the instant link on our page.
Personal testers’ opinion about Sugar Parade slot
The colours are totally bright, super flushed and bubble-gum-ish/pinkish. Be aware: you will need your sunglasses or to adjust the colour of your PC/tablet when playing the Sugar Parade online slot. The design is too babyish and cartoonish, so style-wise, this machine is not everybody’s cup of tea. But silly or not, childish or not, Sugar Parade checked several boxes that would generally qualify it as an excellent video slot.
When you look at the paytable for the 5OAK values – this is an excellent provision. Wilds pay 500x the total bet, Scatters, providing 400x the total bet, and the rest of the symbols pay between 33x and 5x the total bet for 5OAK on a payline. But considering the difference between 3OAK and 5OAK: a huge separation in value, so in the end, we cannot call this a generous paytable.
Despite the good hit probability (over 35%) and the high RTP (96.50%) plus the marvellous prospect for handing large prizes, our team recorded a maximum win of only 78x total bets. At the same time, the average payout from both: the Royal Bonus and the Free Spins was just 16x the total bet.
But what is the reason for the weak (broadly labelled as such) performance? Perhaps the low number of paylines (15), combined with the constant pathetic wins in the base game: between 0.13 and 3.33x the total bet. Admittedly, the bonuses come quite often, yet:
- The Royal (Pick and Click) Bonus will, as a rule, only reveal 3 sweets and under 20x the total bet, and in
- The Free Spins round only 2-3 spins will bring some value. The rest will be dry and bitter (not sweet) spins.
All facets considered: the game cannot render monstrous rewards, so it is not suited for players used to high risks and lofty payoffs. However, we recommend it to the bettors satisfied with medium size wins, ideally in short sessions until 1 well-paid bonus. We can only give neutral recommendations about wagering the bonus money – index 5.88 (out of 10).
The Sugar Parade slot is a reskin of the Serenity slot (Microgaming 2015), sharing the same math model (with RTP, paytable and maximum exposure). Still, somehow the volatility of the games is declared differently (by mistake or to deceive the players). However, both games play and pay the same.
If the variance of the game suits you, we recommend another Microgaming title: the branded Terminator 2 slot – also with Low-Medium Volatility and very high RTP, but offering some exclusive T-800 and T-1000 features and coming with 2950x the total bet maximum win prospect.
