Spin Spin Sugar: Stats and Special Symbols

Spin Spin Sugar comes with a couple of special symbols for us, so let us have a look what they are holding for us.

Bonus Symbol

The Bonus-Symbol only lands on the middle reels and is displayed by a rainbow candy. Three bonus symbols trigger Link&Win Ladder feature, rewarding you with 3 Re-Spins to start with and 1x your bet. We will cover the Re-Spin feature in the feature overview section.

Scatter

Same as the Bonus-Symbol the scatter only lands on the middle reels rewarding you with Free-Spins. How the Free-Spins feature works will be covered in the feature overview section

Wild

The Wild symbol can land on all reels, substituting for all symbols except the Bonus-Symbol and the scatter.

Stats

Now let us have a look at the stats for Spin Spin Sugar. The slot comes with a RTP of 96.26%. The max win for Spin Spin Sugar is 5,000x your bet. The slot is classified as a high volatility game, meaning that it pays out less often on average, but with a higher chance of hitting big wins. Sadly, we don’t have any information how high the chances for triggering Free-Spins or the max win is.

Spin Spin Sugar: Feature Overview

Now let us have a look at the special features Spin Spin Sugar has to offer.

Free-Spins Feature:

Like mentioned before 3 Scatter-Symbols will reward you with the Free-Spins feature. When the feature triggers a one row three-reel slot machine will be opened. On the first reel you can land a random number of Free-Spins ranging from 8 and up to 15 spins. The second reel is rewarding a random multiplier, possible multipliers range from 2x up to 5x. The multiplier only applies to line wins, meaning if you trigger the Link&Win Ladder feature during the Free-Spins won’t multiply your ladder winnings. The last reel will upgrade the density of Bonus-Symbols in 4 different stages, increasing your chances to trigger Link&Win Ladder feature.

If you trigger the Re-Spins feature during the Free-Spins the round will be paused for the Link&Win Ladder feature and be continued after the feature ends. The Re-Spins feature can be triggered multiple times. The winnings of the Link&Win Ladder feature, if you have triggered them, will be added to the winnings from the Free-Spins.

Re-Spins Feature

When the bonus triggers the playing board will be reduced to 3 reels and 4 rows, leaving you with 12 positions, to land bonus symbols on. Whenever one or multiple bonus symbols land your Re-Spins will be reset back to 3 spins. Every symbol that lands will stay, reducing possible positions you can land Bonus-Symbols on. For every symbol that has landed the ladder will go up by one step. We displayed the different stages for you:

Bonus Buy feature

There is no option to buy Free-Spins, but there is an option the buy upgrades for the Free-Spins after triggering them. The option is called Upsizer and there are multiple options to upgrade your Free-Spins you can choose from. You can buy more Free-Spins, a higher multiplier, or a higher Bonus-Symbol stage. The prizes for the different stages depend on the conditions you are starting with.

The Upsizer max options will upgrade all stages to the highest stage possible, meaning you receive 15 Free-Spins, 5x multiplier and stage 4 for the Bonus-Symbols. Just like upgrading single stages the prize for the Upsizer max, depends on the values you triggered at the beginning, so the better the conditions were, the lower the prizes for the upgrades will be.

Spin Spin Sugar: Conclusion

Sweets and candys are a pretty popular way to go for a slot theme, and Spin Spin Sugar fits right in. A nice design and multiple features help the slot to stand out.

There are plenty of slots with a ladder feature out there and Spin Spin Sugar works like any of them, but Slingshot Studios went creative with the Free-Spins feature to set the conditions for the Free-Spins.

All in all, we have to say that almost all the excitement lays in the Link&Win Ladder feature. We liked their creativity with the Free-Spins and the option of upgrading the Free-Spins but also wished for an option to buy the Free-Spins, since a feature buy option comes with almost every new online slot. Nonetheless we liked Spin Spin Sugar.
