Sugar Twist Review

Pragmatic Play has long since proven that they live up to their name, and you can bet your bottom dollar that any hit release from their hand will be milked in all conceivable and inconceivable ways. Sugar Twist is not even a reskin of their mega hit from 2022, Sugar Rush, it’s almost an exact replica. There are some negligible visual changes if you pay close attention, but the features and the gameplay are identical.

The big difference is found in the math model, as you can get a top-tier RTP of 98 % in Sugar Twist. This makes it a solid alternative for sure, and not least in the long run. However, the picture is not really complete without knowledge about the max win hit rate. The name of the game is still tumble wins that produce doubling additive win multiplier positions, and these never reset in the bonus round. The max win is still 5,000x your stake, and checking the RTP carefully with your chosen casino is probably a good idea before engaging with Sugar Twist.

Sugar Twist Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 15+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the grid, and the symbols need to be adjacent either horizontally or vertically.

On the lower end, this awards between 0.2 and 1 x your stake for a 5-symbols cluster win, while 15+ in a cluster pays between 20 and 150 x your stake. Winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Tumble mechanic, and this gives you indefinite extra wins per round as long as you keep winning.

There are no Wild symbols in this game, but you get Multiplier Spots that start as marks behind winning positions. When winning symbols are removed from marked position via the next tumble, the position is upgraded with an x2 win multiplier.

After that, each x2 multiplier position is doubled per new tumble win that appears on the relevant spots, and each position multiplier can go as high as x128. Multiplier values are added together if more than one is part of the same win, and everything resets between base game spins.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters in view in the same base game tumble sequence, and this gives you 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 free spins, respectively. The position win multipliers you achieve are not removed between spins in the bonus round, so the multipliers only keep doubling towards the x128 limit.

You can retrigger to get extra spins, and this works exactly like for the initial trigger.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This will set you back 100x the stake, and you get a random amount of triggering scatters between 3 and 7 on the spin that follows.

Review Summary

We are used to reskin jobs in this industry, but what Pragmatic Play has done with Sugar Twist represents a bit of an unusual twist. Even the visuals are the same as their smash hit original, Sugar Rush, and the same goes for the features. The big difference is the top-tier 98 % RTP, which admittedly is a strong selling point. Still, it seems a bit pointless, as they could’ve just as easily upgraded the original game with a new RTP setting. It wouldn’t have made the same splash, perhaps, as a new RTP does not merit new slot reviews across the internet.

The gameplay is as entertaining as in the original, with additive doubling multiplier positions taking center stage in all stages of the game. This makes the tumble sequences all the more interesting, and it can lead to decent payouts also in the base game.

Your odds are improved when the multipliers only keep building in the bonus round, of course, but unlike with Sugar Rush the max win probability (hit rate) is not revealed (at least not at the time of writing). This makes it hard to tell which sugar-laden version is the best alternative, but in the long run Sugar Twist is the best option (if you can get the 98 % RTP, that is).

Pros

• Doubling tumble win position multipliers up to x128
• FS w/ non-resetting position multipliers up to x128
• Win up to 5,000x your stake
• Top-tier RTP of 98 %

Cons

• Sugar Rush clone (except for the RTP)
• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
