Sweet 27 from Play'n GO: Slot Review - lots of sugar-coated fun!

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and love all things sugary then the latest release from acclaimed software developer Play’n GO will have you frothing at the mouth! The game is set in a 1950s style diner and features an assortment of fruits that are laden with sugar. This slot takes the classic fruit machine format and turns it completely on its head. So if you like to sweeten up your fruits with a dab of sugar then this slot should be right up your alley!

The slot has 3 reels with 27 ways to win and comes with Free Spins, Multipliers, and a Gamble mode.

Special Features

The first feature to mention is that the slot only features 3 reels unlike traditional online slots that normally have 5 standard reels. It also features ‘ways to win’ technology which basically means there are no conventional paylines but 27 ways to win. Sweet 27 features a raft of sweet fruits and sugary-coated symbols. Keep a close eye on the candy-striped Lucky 7 symbol as if you manage to land 3 of these symbols then you will be awarded a nice cash prize of 300 coins.

The Wild symbol in the game is represented by the word ‘Wild’ with a sparkling green and white background. Like most Wild symbols, it substitutes for all other symbols to help form winning combinations on the reel but it is also the most important symbol in the game as it triggers the main feature – Rolling Wild. To activate this feature, all you need to do is land a Wild symbol on the 3rd reel and you will be awarded 2 Free Spins instantly. An additional Free Spin is awarded when the Wild rolls to reel 2 and then onto the first reel. If another Wild symbol appears on the 3rd reel during Rolling Wild then Free Spins will set the remaining Free Spins to 2 by adding either 1 or 2 Free Spins and also increase the multiplier value by 1! The multiplier value can increase to as high as 3X and it is possible to retrigger this feature up to 9 times which gives you the potential to bag up to 20 Free Spins.

The Gamble mode is an optional feature that is activated whenever you form a win on the reels. In this neat little game, you are given the option to choose the colour or suit of a card. If you guess the colour of the card correctly then your winnings will be doubled. However, if you like to take a bit of risk and choose to guess the suit of the card correctly then your winnings will be quadrupled! Whenever you win in Gamble mode, you can choose to collect your winnings simply by pressing the ‘Collect’ button after winning. This feature can be played 5 times consecutively until you guess incorrectly and unfortunately when this happens you will lose all of your current winnings.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are fantastic as the game is set in a 1950s style diner that features bright vibrant colours and fabulous detail. Symbols consist of a range of fruit that is sprinkled with sugar such as Oranges, Strawberries, Blueberries, Cherries, and even a candy-cane shaped Lucky 7. The animations are sleek as symbols move along the reels in a nice smooth motion and pop brightly whenever you form a win.

The music is reminiscent of a 1950s style diner with lots of fast piano beats and saxophone sounds. It complements the retro style of the game nicely.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 27 ways to win, a very good RTP of 96.10%, and a maximum payout worth 1,758X your stake.

Our Verdict on Sweet 27

Play'n GO created this fast-paced slot and it is really good fun to play. The game is quite simple to pick up and although it does not contain too many features, the Rolling Wilds feature is more than capable of providing plenty of entertainment all by itself. I dabbled in the risky Gamble feature a few times and more often than not lost my winnings, so tread carefully when playing this feature. It is worth noting that this game is Highly volatile so do not expect to win a decent payout on your first spins starting off. The slot is a nice twist on the classic fruit machine genre and the fact that you can win up to 1,758X on a single spin is more than enough incentive to check out this saccharine-coated slot!

Score a sweet jackpot in Sweet 27!
