Chocolates Slot Review

Chocolates Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Chocolates slot is played using a 4×4 grid and a Cluster Pays mechanic. To create a winner, land 3 or 4 matching symbols or wilds on adjoining reels, starting from the leftmost reel. As we’ll discover, chocolate boxes can add extra symbols and boost the number of ways to win. More details on this are provided below.

You can play Chocolates at stake levels of between 10p and £20 per spin. Use the arrows to the right of the reels and adjust to suit. You can set between 5 and 100 autospins. Loss stop limits are required here. You can also set win limits.

The Chocolates RTP is 96.6% which is higher than the 96% average. It might look like a picture postcard but the Chocolates volatility is high. This volatility is as high as the Alpine setting.

Wins will land very often too as the hit frequency rate is 43.1%. This means a winning combination will land every 2.3 spins (on average). The max win is 65,536 x your total stake per spin. This can be won on a base game spin or on a free spin which is unusual for a slot game.

Theme – head to the Swiss Alps

The design in the Chocolates slot is rather lovely. The setting is the Swiss Alps. The reels are set within a wooden, chalet-style building but it retains design elements of other Big Time Gaming slots like Bonanza Megaways and its predecessor Donuts.

I expected something a little more Teutonic from the soundtrack. Instead, it’s a rather generic offering. It’s not exactly memorable but it won’t have you reaching for the mute button either.

On the reels you will find lower value A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals and 4 more rewarding chocolate symbols (green, blue, red and purple). The best of them is the purple choc which awards a payout equal to your total stake if you land 4 in combination. That’s not a huge amount but there are opportunities to boost this with extra chocolates and multipliers which are described in more details in the Bonus Features section.

You’ll also see regular chocolate wilds and Golden Ticket wilds that substitute for all symbols except the clock scatter and box. Wilds only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 (i.e. not reel 1). A win involving a Golden Ticket wild will be multiplied by 6.

Chocolates Mobile

You can play this sugary confection on all devices including PC, tablet and mobile. The small reel grid, classy design and simple gameplay make the Chocolates mobile slot a very playable one.

Chocolates Bonus Features

The selection of extras on offer in the Chocolates slot isn’t enormous. With 3 bonus features, there’s still plenty of potential to create something special. This can be done courtesy of chocolate boxes that increase the ways to win, Golden Ticket wilds that multiply payouts and of course, the free spins feature.

Golden Ticket Multiplier Wilds feature

Chocolates comes with 2 types of wild symbols. The standard wild and the golden ticket wild. Both of them substitute for all the standard symbols when they make up part of a winning combination.

Land a winner with a golden ticket wild and the payout receives a 6x multiplier boost. More than 1 golden ticket wild in the same winner and the multipliers are combined for even bigger potential payouts.

Chocolate Boxes feature

On any spin you could see a chocolate box symbol appear. The chocolate box opens to reveal up to 4 of the same matching symbol. Known as the Chocolate Boxes feature, these are all included in a payout if they make up part of a winning combination.

In the base game, the chocolate boxes can take the number of ways to win up to 2,401. Things can improve still further then you trigger the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is activated in the usual way by landing 3 or 4 clock scatters. After a payout of 6 or 20 x your stake, you’ll go on to play 7 or 10 free spins respectively.

During the free spins, all chocolate boxes that land turn sticky. For starters, 1 of the triggering scatters will transform into a chocolate box.

If you manage to fill the whole of a reel with chocolate boxes, you’ll receive 3 more free spins. This can lead to 12 additional free spins in total giving you up to 22 free spins in total (if you trigger with 4 scatters).  Once 4 boxes arrive in a row, every free spin is a guaranteed winner.

The extra symbols in the chocolate boxes also mean a potentially big increase in the number of ways to win during the free spins. At their maximum, the reels offer 65,536 ways to win. Not bad for a 4-reel slot.

With the purple chocolate symbol giving you 1 x stake for 4 in combination, playing with 65,536 ways to win can lead to 65,536 x total stake payouts on each free spin.

Chocolates Summary – this sugary treat can deliver some sweet action

At first glance, the Chocolates slot looks a little twee with its lovely Alpine setting. Don’t be fooled though. This slot can deliver some knockout action. Take care as this is a volatile game.

The gameplay is a little unusual but you’ll soon get used to the chocolate box extras. Basically, they give you matching symbols and increase the number of ways to win. It’s all about the Free Spins feature where 65,536 ways to win and 65,536 x stake payouts are up for grabs. The Golden Ticket multiplier wilds will also naturally help.

Big Time Gaming slots usually offer plenty of innovation and the Chocolates slot game doesn’t disappoint on that score. If you’ve enjoyed the Megaways phenomena from the same developer, you’ll likely want to tuck into Chocolates.
