Sweet 27 is a 3x3 slot by Play'n GO with 27 ways to win, a simple paytable that doesn't pay too well, and a Rolling Wild feature that gets triggered whenever a Wild lands on reel 3. You get 2 free spins every time, and if you re-trigger the feature two or more times you can get a win multiplier up to x3.

The game is easy to set up as you only have to choose your bet per spin, from 0.10 to 100.00. There are 27 paylines but the wins are calculated according to your total bet, so you can't really say what the bet per payline is. More precisely, this is a 27 ways to win game as symbols on adjacent reels will produce the win. Symbols often appear stacked on the board, making possible a full board win. That, of course, is a very rare event, but if it does happen you will win 81x, 54x or 27x your bet, depending on the symbol.

Sweet 27 has a very interesting bonus feature that will be getting triggered often, and that will give you 2 free spins every time you trigger it. Whenever a Wild lands on reel 3, you'll get 2 free spins, and on each free spins the Wild will roll one reel to the left. Needless to say, a Wild is very rare sight and you can fully expect to go 100 spins or more without triggering the Rolling Wild feature. In theory, the feature can be re-triggered if you land another Wild on reel 3 during the feature. When that happens, your free spin counter will be reset to 2, and you'll get a win multiplier, first x2 and then x3 if you re-trigger the feature one more time. You can re-trigger it up to 9 times, but the chance of this happening is infinitely small.

The six symbols are divided into three groups. Cherry and Orange pay 1x your bet, Strawberry and Blackberry pay 2x your bet, and Bar and Seven pay 3x your bet. If you'd be lucky enough to land all three Wilds, you'd get a prize of 5x. With this 27-ways-to-win setup, it's common to get two or three winning paylines on the same spin. All the symbols are beautifully drawn, in a semi-realistic style, and all the fruit machine players will enjoy this theme.

However, with this kind of paytable and a bonus feature that doesn't really amount to much, it soon becomes clear that playing this game is a losing proposition despite the theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.10%. Most spins are non-winning ones, and the paytable only goes up to 3x your bet so it's really difficult to get back into positive, even if you trigger the Rolling Wild feature several times in close succession. The game has very high variance, as incredibly rare things need to happen for you to even get your money back. With this kind of paytable, there's just no chance to make money.

The game is difficult to play and the only way to get back to positive is to either re-trigger the Rolling Wild feature two or three times, or/and to start getting full board wins. If neither of these things happen, the game will simply deplete your balance bit by bit. Sea Hunter, Mystery Joker 6000, and especially Hugo Goal – all by Play'n GO – are superior 3x3 slots to this one.
