Sugar Monster Slot Review

Sugar Monster RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Sugar Monster is played on a 6×6 grid, with a scatter pays mechanism. This means that to create a win, you simply need to land 12 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels.

You can play the slot for as little as 10p, up to £8 per spin. Whilst this is quite a small betting range, the game has a high volatility so you might spin for a while without landing a win.

To set your stakes, just use the + and – buttons below the reels. Outside of the UK, there’s also an Autoplay option. Use this to spin between 20 and 100 times without clicking.

Sugar Monster has a 95.68% RTP rate, which is below the average for online slots, but in line with most Red Tiger Gaming releases. The game offers max wins of 10,806 x your stake too. Big wins are achieved during the Free Spins feature, where multipliers can accumulate and grow.

Theme – satisfy your sugar cravings

Do you know any one who gets hangry? Maybe you’re a bit snappy if you don’t get your sugar fix. The Sugar Monster in this slot definitely does, and he’s on the hunt for more sweet treats.

We’re not sure why but the candy theme is a popular choice for grid slots. Sweet Alchemy 2 and Sweet Bonanza are just a couple of examples. Maybe it’s how great the multicoloured sweets look when stacked together, or maybe it’s the success of games like Candy Crush. Sugar Monster, at least, diverges a little from the norm. Instead of a candyland background, the reels hang against a looted sweet shop.

On the reels, lower paying symbols include stars, hearts, triangles and circles. An assortment of cakes makes up the top half of the paytable, with the orange cake being the highest value symbol. Landing 20+ orange cake symbols rewards you with 50 x your stake.

The Sugar Monster is the slot’s wild symbol. We’ll talk more about his function in the Bonus Features part of this slot review.

Sugar Monster mobile

Like all Red Tiger Gaming slots, Sugar Monster runs on HTML5 technology so you can enjoy it on mobile, PC, laptop and/or tablet devices. On smaller screens, however, the design might be a little too fussy.

Sugar Monster Bonus Features

Sugar Monster has 4 main bonus features, plus a Bonus Buy option. This includes cascades, multipliers and a Free Spins feature.

Cascade Feature

When you land a winning combination, all contributing symbols are removed from the reels, ,allowing new ones to fall in from above. This gives you a chance at creating further wins. Cascades continue until no new wins are formed.

Sugar Monster Wild Feature

In the base game, The Sugar Monster wild may land at any point. He substitutes for all other symbols to create a win, but does not disappear from the reels afterwards.

Instead, the Sugar Monster will proceed to eat all the symbols on the reels which participate in the win. This triggers a cascade, and also fills 1 level of the Free Spins bar above the reels. 4 cascades fill the bar completely, triggering the free spins feature.

Cotton Candy Multipliers Feature

When the Sugar Monster wild is present on the reels, he can produce up to 3 cotton candy multiplier symbols at random. These are then applied to the total win of the spin, after all cascades are finished.
Multiplier values range from 2 to 100x.

Free Spins Feature

As mentioned above, if you manage to fill the Free Spins bar above the reels, you trigger the Free Spins feature.

You receive 10 free spins to begin with. Before the round begins, the Sugar Monster wild grows to 2×2 positions in size and locks in the middle of the reels. He then remains sticky for the entire round.
If the Sugar Monster decides to vomit up cotton candy multipliers, the multiplier remains active for the remainder of the round. If any extra multipliers appear, these accumulate and the total value is applied to the total win from the entire round.

If the Sugar Monster eats 4 consecutive win formations in a single spin, you also retrigger the Free Spins feature, receiving 3 extra spins.

Bonus Buy Feature

If you’re playing the Sugar Monster slot from outside of the UK, you also have some extra Bonus Buy options. In both the RTP rises to 96.72%, and your choices are as follows:

Bonus	Price	Description
Sugar Monster Wild	3 x stake	Guaranteed Sugar Monster wild on the next spin
Free Spins	80 x stake	Immediate entry to Free Spins feature.

Sugar Monster Slot Review Summary – decent grid slot with a lot of personality

As mentioned earlier, candy themed grid slots are having a moment. As are scatter paying slots, and Red Tiger Gaming definitely know this. Similar titles from the provider include Here Kitty Kitty and Happy Apples.

Thankfully, the Sugar Monster slot manages to stand out from the crowd, thanks to a strong theme and good bonus features. The attention to detail is great, with the candy fiend munching down and vomiting – things we can all relate to.

As for gameplay, the key is to watch out for the Sugar Monster wild throwing up cotton candy multipliers, especially during the Free Spins feature. As the multipliers can accumulate during the feature, this is your best chance at reaching those 10,806 x stake max wins.

Although the game might not sound too original at first, its packed full of personality. If you’re a fan of scatter pays slots then we’re sure you’ll enjoy this game.
