Sweet Alchemy 100 (Play'n Go) Slot Review

Sweet Alchemy 100: Slot Overview 

Play’n GO stirs the cauldron once more with Sweet Alchemy 100, a colorful cluster-pays slot that blends candy-coated cuteness with magical mayhem. A thematic sequel—or more accurately, a reskin—of the immensely popular Moon Princess 100, this title swaps out princesses for three charming witches named Cherry, Berry, and Apple. The game rides high on the engine and gameplay loop established by Moon Princess 100, while adopting the sugary pastel visuals reminiscent of the original Sweet Alchemy. 

The setup revolves around a 5×5 grid, where symbols drop in and pay out via cluster wins rather than traditional paylines. Triggered features, win multipliers, character modifiers, and a surprisingly high max win of 15,000x the stake underscore the high volatility that fans of the ‘100’ series have come to expect. And with an RTP set at a standard 96.20%, Sweet Alchemy 100 casts a wide enough spell to captivate both casual players and seasoned slot enthusiasts.

Design and Graphics 

Graphically, Sweet Alchemy 100 walks a tightrope between whimsical charm and familiar structure. The pastel color palette, reminiscent of a candy land dreamscape, is bright and vibrant. Each spin unfolds on a floating, pink-drenched platform surrounded by clouds and sugarplum trees, creating a sugary wonderland that appeals to the eye. The witches—Cherry, Berry, and Apple—stand to the right of the grid, occasionally casting their powers with confident animations. Each character has her own visual effects and color scheme, which subtly change the game’s background based on who’s active. It’s a small touch, but a welcome one that keeps the visuals dynamic. Despite being a thematic reskin of Moon Princess 100, Sweet Alchemy 100 manages to find its own identity—more bubblegum fantasy than anime glamour. 

The symbol set is also well crafted. Candies in different shapes and hues serve as low-paying symbols, while the witches represent the premiums. The symbol designs are easy to distinguish even when cascades are flying fast, which is essential in a cluster-based game.

Gameplay Mechanics 

Sweet Alchemy 100 follows the typical cluster-pays and cascading wins system used in titles like Moon Princess and Reactoonz. When 3 or more matching symbols land in a line—horizontal or vertical—they form a win and are removed from the board. New symbols fall into place, continuing the chain reaction. Wins aren’t replaced by new symbols in the traditional way; instead, each cascade increases a win multiplier, which resets between paid spins (but not during features). 

When a win involves 3 identical symbols, a wild symbol appears in the center of the cluster, acting as a substitute. If the grid is fully cleared—something that happens rarely—you’re awarded 50x the total bet, further boosted by any active multiplier. The feature-rich structure makes every spin feel full of potential, especially when modifiers or bonuses come into play.

Sound and Music 

The soundtrack of Sweet Alchemy 100 is bubbly and charming, walking the line between magical and whimsical. It complements the visuals well, without becoming overpowering. The sound effects during cascades, wins, and character actions are crisp and polished, adding energy to the gameplay. Each witch has distinct audio cues tied to her powers, which helps add personality to the gameplay loop. 

Still, depending on personal preference, some players might find the cheery background music and character voiceovers a bit repetitive over long sessions. It fits the theme perfectly but may not appeal to those looking for something more serene or serious.

Bonus Features 

Sweet Alchemy 100 is loaded with features that revolve around the three witch characters and their powers. Here’s a breakdown: Witch Power 

On non-winning spins, one of the three witches may randomly activate a Witch Power modifier: 

Cherry transforms one set of symbols into another. 

Berry adds 1–2 wilds onto the grid. 

Apple removes 2 sets of symbols from the grid. 

These modifiers can shake up the board just enough to kick off a cascade of wins or edge you closer to bonus activation. 

Trinity Feature 

Winning with witch symbols charges a 3-segment meter. When filled, it triggers Trinity, a feature in which all three witches perform their Witch Powers in sequence. The win multiplier resets for Trinity but builds again with every drop. 

If you clear the grid during Trinity, it leads to the Free Spins feature—a more powerful version of the base game bonus loop. 

Free Spins 

Before free spins begin, you choose one witch to activate her power on every non-winning spin. The trade-off is that fewer spins mean higher volatility: 

Cherry grants 4 free spins. 

Berry grants 5 free spins. 

Apple grants 8 free spins. 

The win multiplier from Trinity carries over into the free spins and does not reset between spins. During free spins, additional modifiers can award more free spins (Cherry +4, Berry +4, Apple +2), up to a cap of 100 free spins. The win multiplier can go as high as x100, making this bonus round exceptionally potent.

Betting Options and Payouts 

Sweet Alchemy 100 caters to a wide range of budgets with bets ranging from €0.20 to €100 per spin. The game’s RTP is 96.20%, but as always with Play’n GO slots, alternative RTP settings may be used depending on the market or casino. 

Symbol payouts range from 2x to 3x the bet for low-paying 5-symbol wins and up to 10x the bet for a full line of witch symbols. A cluster of 5 witch symbols pays a decent 5x the bet, and wild wins can pay 50x if five appear in a row. 

The real kicker here is the maximum win potential of 15,000x, which places Sweet Alchemy 100 among the top tier of volatile slots in terms of payout ceiling. That said, the actual odds of hitting that max win are extremely slim—less than 1 in 100 million spins, so it’s best to temper expectations accordingly.

Conclusion 

Sweet Alchemy 100 is a sugar-slicked remix of Play’n GO’s most powerful formula: Moon Princess meets Sweet Alchemy with an added sprinkle of volatility and max win potential. It’s not a radically innovative release, but it delivers a well-balanced cocktail of cascading gameplay, animated features, and highly volatile thrills. 

The core mechanics remain addictively fun, and the inclusion of three distinct character modifiers, a progressive multiplier system, and a deeply engaging free spins mode ensures a dynamic play session. While it may draw some criticism for being a reskin, the polished execution and high entertainment value give it enough identity to stand on its own. 

Whether you’re in it for the strategic modifier combinations or hoping to push the multiplier toward x100 and clear the grid for an epic payout, Sweet Alchemy 100 offers something magical—and potentially lucrative—for those willing to brave its high volatility.
