Cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, and other multiple abusive substances are frankly no match for the addictive power of sugar. Ladies and Gentle hens, the proof is right here: the Big Sugar Bonanza slot by Stakelogic. The ever-growing genre that entraps players into its sweety delights now has a new game on its list that will have players hooked and begging for more. 

For this Big Sugar Bonanza review, I took to the streets to see if I could solicit some sugar from a gang of youths known to the area. With this, I could give myself the right ‘fix’ to play Big Sugar Bonanza. As I approached the gang, a cop car zoomed past with its sirens wailing. I fled the scene, as did the gang. I’d have to play Big Sugar Bonanza without the sugar rush I was looking for. 

The details, here on in, cover the software design, performance, and programming. From a gaming perspective, I share the bonus rounds, special features, payout potential [jackpot], and how to play the game. In this review, you can get your sugar fix by playing the free demo, which works with any mobile device. 

The Big Sugar Bonanza slot machine is a pastel-colored paradise. Creams, cones, sprinkles, drops, and drips of all sorts make this one deadly diabetic nightmare. The beast to this feast of sugar stands to the right of the reels. Holding a candy-pop of sorts, wide-eyed, freakishly grinning, and on the ultimate sugar bend. The monster of molasses, the artificially flavored fuzz ball, is utterly unnamed by the developer, so what and who it is is anyone's guess. The slot itself comes with a Cluster Pay mechanism and plays with 7 rows and 7 reels.

When the game loads up, the size of it can seem pretty daunting, but a 7x7 slot really plays no differently from a classic 3x5 slot. As with any online slot game, the first step is to set the betting value to suit your budget. Bets are paid per spin, and you must use the + and – buttons to adjust the costs, which range from $0.20 to $100.

When ready to play, select the spin button, which is central to the control panel. Alternatively, you have the option to play auto spins. To make a winning return, the symbols must form clusters that align next to each other on adjacent reels. This does not include diagonal connections. A minimum of 5 symbols must form the cluster, and getting 15 symbols will return the highest amount. The top symbols are the pink cupcake, the layered chocolate cake, and the blue jelly. The lower symbols are the yellow, red, green, and blue swirly sweets. Should a win land, the symbols forming this will pop from the reels and be replaced with new ones. This motion of play means new clusters can be formed and can produce consecutive wins from your one spin.

Gaming only requires you to press the spin button until you wish to end the game. Beyond this, the slot includes special features that can expand the gaming experience and boost your chances of winning real money. 

Mystery Multiplier: This feature can randomly land with any played spin. The values of this feature range from x2 to x512. The multiplier also moves around the reels and can grow into an enormous 7x7 multiplier.

Free Spins Bonus: If you land 3 bonus symbols, you win 10 free spins. 4 bonus symbols give you 12 spins. 5 bonus symbols return 15 spins. 6 symbols award 20 spins, and lastly, 7 bonus symbols issue you with 30 bonus free spins. Additional spins can be won during the bonus game and also involves the Mystery Multiplier. 

Buy Bonus Feature: Skip directly to the bonus round without playing any base game. For this privilege, you need to buy access for 100 times the cost of your bet. The number of spins you win is totally random.

Online slots for real money like Big Sugar Bonanza come around quite often, and the look and lack of features are of no real surprise. Sometimes, these games become so generic that you know what you’re getting before a reel has been spun. I loaded the game and set my bet to $1 per spin. I played 50 auto-play spins, and the results are as follows. 

For the first 10 spins, only 2 wins landed and equaled a win of $3. The next 10 spins after that produced nothing, and then I landed 3 consecutive wins, but this only returned $6. The Mystery Multiplier makes a regular appearance and it did come into effect as a large 3x3 icon but only at x1 in value. The gameplay does take some time because of the consecutive wins. The only problem is that the value being won is often less than the amount you are betting. 

No bonus was struck during the 50 spins, and the round of play ended without being able to cash out any money. 

The maximum winnable amount from Big Sugar Bonanza is 10,000 times the bet value. If you were to bet at $100 per spin, the jackpot would be capped at $1,000,000. Big Sugar Bonanza comes with a high volatility setting, with its Return to Player calculated to be 96.01 percent. 

The experience of Big Sugar Bonanza felt more like a sugar crash than a sugar rush. It's a game that doesn’t need to be made and offers no innovation or new ideas. There will be a player market for it as these sweet-themed games keep getting made for a reason. If you’d like to try others, then I recommend these casino games:

Cupcakes by NetEnt

Sugar Supreme Powernudge by Pragmatic Play

Retro Sweets by Push Gaming
