Sweetopia Royale

Brace yourselves for Sweetopia Royale, the candy-coated cluster-pays slot from Relax Gaming. This sugar-packed game skips the cascading wins in favor of a respin mechanic that’s bound to satisfy your sweet tooth. With plenty of modifiers and free spins in the mix, it’s a ride through a dreamy confectionery landscape where everything’s made of sugar and baked goodies. So grab your toothbrush and let’s dive right in!

Gameplay and Symbols

The 7×7 grid forms clusters with a minimum of four matching symbols in vertical or horizontal directions. Winning clusters stick around as the rest of the symbols respin. However, there’s no wild symbol here to rely on, so you’ll need those clusters and modifiers to bring the wins home. High volatility adds a bit of spice to the sweetness, and bets range from 10c to $/€100 per spin, giving an RTP of 96.1%.

Sweetopia Royale’s pay symbols include 4 candy objects as the low pays, while 5 cake-themed icons represent the high pays. Landing clusters of 4 symbols will net 0.1x to 1x the bet, while maxing out with 49-symbol clusters delivers 1,000x to 5,000x your bet. Let’s dig into the features that make this sugary slot pop!

Features That Pack a Punch

• Respin: Winning clusters trigger a respin, where matching symbols stay put, and others respin. Special modifiers might appear, including:
• Candy Cannon: Adds 2 to 8 matching symbols to the grid.
• Sweet Upgrade: Upgrades the cluster to the next highest-paying symbol.
• Candy Cluster: Attracts matching symbols in the same row or reel to the cluster.
• Random Feature: Randomly awarded at the start or end of a round, including:
• Sweet Surprise: Adds a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 mystery symbol block to the grid.
• Lucky Respin: Respins all positions adjacent to the cluster.
• Cluster Combo: Different adjacent clusters can merge to form a higher-value symbol cluster.
• Candy Coin Respin: Clusters of coin symbols trigger this respin, where blanks, coins, and modifiers appear.
• Free Spins: Collect 3-7 scatter symbols to trigger 5-9 free spins. Each modifier gets upgraded every 5 respins, while +1 free spin is also awarded.
• Buy Feature: Purchase free spins for 60x the bet or a Candy Coin Respin for 50x. RTP here is 96.5%.

Final Verdict

Sweetopia Royale is an unabashedly sugary slot that wears its candy theme proudly on its sleeve. While its cutesy characters and commentary may be a bit too sweet for some, Relax Gaming has delivered a feature-packed game with solid gameplay. The respin mechanic offers exciting opportunities with Cluster Combos and Candy Coin Respins, and the modest but respectable max win of 5,000x should appeal to those looking for a more laid-back cluster slot experience.
