Sweetopia Royale Slot Review

Sweetopia Royale Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Sweetopia Royale slot is a grid slot that comes with a 7×7 reel setup and uses the Cluster Pays mechanic. A cluster is formed by landing 4 or more matching symbols vertically or horizontally adjacent to each other. Clusters of different symbols that are vertically or horizontally adjacent to each other will combine to form a larger cluster. The cluster always combines into the highest value symbol before every respin.

Stakes range from just 10p up to £100 per spin. Simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the bet value below the reels to adjust your total bet. Autospins and turbo spins are also possible but only if you’re a non-UK player.

The Sweetopia Royale RTP is 96.1%, which is ever so slightly above the industry average. In terms of volatility, it’s as high as it can be and rated 5 out of 5 by Relax Gaming. The hit frequency is 20.53%, which means that just over a 5th of all spins on average will result in a winner.

The maximum win is 5,000 x your total stake. This is possible to achieve at any point in the game, but arguably your best chance will come in the Free Spins feature as there are numerous free spins up for grabs.

Theme: candylicious

The theme is clear by the title without even loading the slot initially. Sweets, sweets, some cake and more sweets! The reels are set in front of a candy kingdom and it looks great. The visuals are good, with eye-catching colours dominating the grid.

The soundtrack isn’t great and I can’t decide if it fits the overall theme. It sounds quite suspenseful but it’s very repetitive. I wasn’t a fan of it in all honesty. Land the Free Spins feature and you’ll move inside a tower or a castle, with knights on either side of the reels as you spin away. The audio intensifies too. Simple but effective.

On the reels, different coloured hard-boiled sweets make up the lower-paying symbols. The higher-paying ones are all cakes, with the large pink cake being the most rewarding symbol. It pays 1 x bet for 4 in a cluster all the way up to 5,000 x bet for 49.

There’s no Wild in the game, but there is a Scatter symbol, which is known as the Bonus symbol and is a cake-like crown. Land 3 or more of those to trigger the Free Spins feature. More on that further down in the review. Here’s a useful list of the paying symbols you’ll see in the game:

Symbol	Payout/Info
Blue Candy	4 to 49 = 0.1 to 1,000 x stake
Green Candy	4 to 49 = 0.1 to 1,000 x stake
Orange Candy	4 to 49 = 0.1 to 1,000 x stake
Purple Candy	4 to 49 = 0.1 to 1,000 x stake
Blue Cake	4 to 49 = 0.2 to 2,000 x stake
Green Cake	4 to 49 = 0.3 to 2,500 x stake
Orange Cake	4 to 49 = 0.4 to 3,000 x stake
Purple Cake	4 to 49 = 0.5 to 3,500 x stake
Pink Cake	4 to 49 = 1 to 5,000 x stake
Bonus Scatter	3+ triggers Free Spins feature
Mystery	Reveals a paying symbol or a coin symbol
Coin	A cluster of these triggers Respins feature

Sweetopia Royale Mobile

The audio and excellent graphics are best experienced on a laptop or PC in my opinion. However, the Sweetopia Royale mobile slot can be played on smartphones and tablets too including ones that use iOS and Android and Windows operating systems. However, I prefer to play all grid slots on larger screens due to the bigger reel size.

Sweetopia Royale Bonus Features

There are 9 bonus features to enjoy here once you included all the modifiers. From free spins and respins with numerous modifiers to mystery symbols up to 4×4 in size, a lot is going on. Let’s run you through everything, starting with the standard respins.

Respin feature

If you manage to land a cluster win, those symbols are held in place and all other symbols respin. This process continues as any cluster is enlarged or a new cluster is formed. When there are no more respins, the current win is paid out. It’s also important to note that additional feature symbols can land during respins to award modifiers which could improve and/or enlarge clusters. When more than 1 cluster is present and a modifier symbol lands, it acts upon a randomly chosen symbol.

Symbol	Info
Candy Cannon	2 to 8 symbols matching a cluster are added to the grid.
Sweet Upgrade	Upgrades the cluster and all matching symbols to the next higher value symbol.
Candy Cluster	Symbols that match the cluster on the same reels or rows that a cluster is on are attracted to the cluster.

Random feature

As you spin away, a random feature can be triggered at the beginning or the end of a game round. If a random feature forms a win or enlarges a cluster, the game round continues. Here’s what you could get:

• Sweet Surprise – a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 sized Mystery symbol is applied to the grid, revealing a paying symbol or a coin symbol.
• Lucky Respin – when a game round ends, a Lucky Respin can be awarded. This respins all symbol positions vertically, horizontally or diagonally around an active cluster.

Candy Coin Respin feature

This bonus feature is triggered when a cluster of Coin symbols is formed. The coins display values from 1 to 1,000. As you’ll see from the screenshot above, the cluster that formed the win will stay in place as all other symbols respin. Only coins and feature symbols are present on the grid at this time. The spins continue as long as the Coin cluster continues to enlarge.

Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more Bonus symbols to trigger this feature. Here’s how many free spins you could start with depending on the number of Bonus symbols that land:

• 3 Bonus symbols = 5 free spins
• 4 Bonus symbols = 6 free spins
• 5 Bonus symbols = 7 free spins
• 6 Bonus symbols = 8 free spins
• 7 Bonus symbols = 9 free spins

The Candy Cannon, Sweet Upgrade and Candy Cluster features can be upgraded during this bonus round. A feature at random is upgraded and 1 extra free spin is awarded every 5 respins. When all features reach their maximum level 1 extra free spin continues to be awarded every 5 respins. Here’s some more information on the features within this feature:

Symbol	Info
Candy Cannon	2 to 8 symbols matching a cluster are added to the grid for each level reached. The Candy Cannon starts the Free Spins feature at level 1 and can be upgraded to level 5.
Sweet Upgrade	Upgrades all clusters and all matching symbols to a higher value symbol based on the level. The Sweet Upgrade starts the Free Spins feature at level 1 and can be upgraded to level 5.
Candy Cluster	Symbols that match the cluster on the same reels or rows that a cluster is on are attracted to the cluster. When upgraded, all symbols between the cluster and matching symbols on the same reel or row a cluster is present, convert to the same symbol as the cluster. The Candy Cluster starts the Free Spins feature at level 1 and can be upgraded to level 2.

Non-UK players can buy the Free Spins feature for 60 x bet or the Candy Coin Respin feature for 50 x bet.

Verdict: looks great and plays great

3.7/5

Play Sweetopia Royale

Sweetopia Royale Slot

This slot comes with plenty of bonus features that offer some great gameplay as you work your way to ward 5,000 x bet max wins. The visuals are on point but the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired, so I wouldn’t blame you if you spun away in silence.

Pros

• Good visuals
• Unlimited free spins
• Plenty of bonus features

Cons

• Highly volatile (5/5)
• Poor soundtrack

I can’t help but compare everything to Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza as that always seems the sweet-themed benchmark due to its popularity. Sweetopia Royale might not hit those dizzy heights but it’s still a fun game to play and there are plenty of reasons why players will like this one. If you enjoy bonus features then you’re in for a treat as there are plenty on offer here from free spins and respins to numerous modifiers that can potentially lead to bigger wins.

Are there any negatives? Well, the 5,000 x bet max wins aren’t as high as some other slots on the market but it’s still not a bad figure. The RTP rate is slightly above average, which isn’t bad either. But you need to beware of the volatility as it’s super high and rated as 5 out of 5 by the provider. So don’t expect big wins too often. And if I was being picky, I would have liked to see another bonus feature as I feel that they’re all quite samey if that makes sense.al

Overall, while it may not be up there with the best UK slots around, it gets a solid rating from me as it’s still a great game when you consider all aspects. Don’t hesitate to try our free demo and decide for yourself.
