Overview of Sweet Alchemy

Sweet Alchemy is an online slot game created by Play’n GO, featuring 5 reels and a cascading grid layout. Bets can be placed from a minimum of £0.10 up to a maximum of £5.00 per round. The game is played on a 5×5 grid and features cluster pays instead of traditional paylines. Wins are formed by connecting 4 or more matching symbols in a cluster, where they are adjacent either horizontally or vertically.

How to Play Sweet Alchemy

• Select your bet amount using the plus and minus buttons or choose from the available bet options at the bottom of the game screen.
• Start the round by clicking the START button.
• Symbols will drop onto the 5×5 grid. A win occurs when 4 or more matching symbols form a connected cluster.
• Winning symbols are removed from the grid, and new ones cascade down to fill empty spaces, potentially creating further wins. This process continues until there are no new winning combinations.
• All wins and feature rewards are added together and paid at the end of the round.
• Your bet remains the same throughout an active game round and can be changed only between rounds.
• The paytable and game rules can be accessed at any time for full details on symbol values and features.

Feature Mechanics

Sugar Rush Meter

As you form winning clusters, contributing symbols fill the Sugar Rush Meter. Depending on the number of symbols collected in a single game round, the meter unlocks various wild features:

• 6 Symbols: 2 Regular Wilds are added to the grid. These substitute for any symbol to assist with wins and also contribute to the Sugar Rush Meter.
• 13 Symbols: 2 Striped Wilds appear. Acting as wilds, when part of a win, they clear either the entire row or the entire column where they land, depending on their orientation. All symbols cleared, including the Striped Wilds, count towards the meter.
• 25 Symbols: 2 Dotted Wilds are introduced. When these are involved in a win, they remove every instance of a randomly selected symbol from the grid.
• 38 Symbols: Triggers the Mix the Elixir Free Round after the reel cascades complete, starting with 3 Candy Spells. For each additional 3 symbols collected in that game round, an extra Candy Spell is awarded, up to a maximum of 7.

Mix the Elixir Free Round

This special free round expands the grid to 9×9 and introduces unique features called Candy Spells:

• Mixed Candy: Shuffles all grid symbols for a fresh chance at wins.
• Sweet Surprise: Randomly places 7–12 wild symbols on the grid, and even if these wilds are not in a win, their removal effect applies.
• Sugar Bombs: Selects and destroys 7–15 random normal symbols on the grid.

The Candy Spells play out in order between cascades. The round ends after all awarded Candy Spells are completed.

Free Round Symbol Collection and Bonus

During the free round, the aim is to collect required amounts of certain symbols by forming winning clusters. Wilds do not contribute toward this collection. There are three collection levels:

• Level 1: Collect 16 of a designated low-pay symbol and 6 of a high-pay symbol to unlock the Elixir of Power Bonus at round’s end.
• Level 2: Collect 21 of a designated low-pay symbol and 11 of a high-pay symbol. Reaching this will increase potential bonus rewards.
• Level 3: Collect 26 of a designated low-pay symbol and 16 of a high-pay symbol, further improving the bonus prizes.

The Elixir of Power Bonus presents a selection game where you uncover chocolate squares to find three matching magic elixirs. The prize pool depends on the collection level reached:

• Level 1 Prizes: 2x, 3x, or 5x Total Bet; 2x or 3x Total Win
• Level 2 Prizes: 3x, 5x, or 10x Total Bet; 3x or 5x Total Win
• Level 3 Prizes: 5x or 10x Total Bet; 3x, 5x, or 10x Total Win

Completing a collection in the Free Round progresses your position on the Map. Advancing three levels on the Map awards a Treasure Chest with a cash prize equal to 15% of total main game winnings since the previous chest. The Map can be viewed by clicking the Treasure Chest image on the main game screen.
