Sugar Parade

I’ve got a bit of a sweet tooth so I was eagerly waiting for Sugar Parade slot from Microgaming to load in the hope that it would satisfy my sugar craving without me reaching for the ice cream tub. And it did. Save form stuffing your face with a bag full of candy, this is the best sugar rush you can get. And it’s a whole lot healthier.

The fantasy/ sweetshop style online slot is set against a backdrop of sugar-coated hills. The symbols are letters, playing cards, and sweets that all look like cute characters. The characters do look a little odd - did anyone ever picture a cake dressed up with a necklace and gloves? – and it may be a little too over-the-top for everyone’s tastes, but it is fun and nice to look at generally. The music playing throughout the game is fun and upbeat, too – perhaps a little too upbeat.

The Wild Symbol is the Sugar Parade Logo. The Bonus Symbol is a crazy-looking biscuit-type creature and he or she triggers the Bonus Game when you get three or more symbols on the reels. You get to pick from cash prizes when you trigger the Bonus game.

The Scatter Symbol is an Ice Cream Cone on legs, and 3 or more of this symbol triggers 10 free spins. During the free spins bonus you get a x3 multiplier. And if you pick up three more Scatter Symbols during the free spin you get an extra spin of the reels – or 10, to be precise. That means you could get up to 20 free spins each play.

The Sugar Parade online slot will irritate as many people as it charms. Its cutesy look is definitely an acquired taste, much like a very sugary snack that you know you shouldn’t eat. It is not the most inventive or exciting online slot every developed but I had a good time playing it. And it will no doubt win many more fans with its cute charm, and its free spins and bonus rounds designed to help the cash come pouring in to your pockets.
