Sweet Gummy

Fresh on the heels of their slot release titled Beastly Burglars, AvatarUX is rolling out yet another new slot that promises to mix things up by once again steering clear of their PopWins mechanic, which is largely what they’ve been most known for in recent years.

Their latest creation is titled Sweet Gummy and unlike some of their other titles featuring the PopWins mechanic like ReefPop, KokeshiPop, and LooneyPop, there are no PopWins to be found on this new game.

With a sizeable maximum payout of 10,000x bet, along with 96.0% RTP, Sweet Gummy looks to be a medium volatility slot game that could very well help to elevate the status of AvatarUX’s portfolio of games throughout the iGaming industry.

Sweet Gummy Base Game

Sweet Gummy Base Features

Although this is technically a sweets-themed slot, it’s easy to forget that because of the lovable monster characters that are present on the reels. Sweets and monsters aside though, Sweet Gummy is a 40-payline slot game that’s played on a 5×5 grid (with an additional special wild reel that you can learn more about below).

Given its 40 fixed paylines, all winning combinations on Sweet Gummy must start from the leftmost reel, just like any other fixed payline slot game. And just like virtually all other slot games, this particular title is equipped with both low and high paying symbols.

The low paying symbols on this game are the J, Q, K, and A symbols, which all have the same payouts that range from 0.2x bet for 3 of a kind to 0.8x bet for 5 of a kind. The high paying symbols, which are all of the monster symbols, award payouts of 0.4x bet for 3 of a kind up to 2.4x bet for 5 of a kind.

Other symbols you should be aware of are the Bonus symbol (landing 2 or more of these symbols triggers the free spins) and the monster Wild symbol, which substitutes for all other symbols aside from the Bonus symbol.

Sweet Gummy Offers Players 40 Fixed Win Lines

Wild Reel

When you load Sweet Gummy for the first time, you’ll very quickly notice that this game is equipped with a special reel on the left side of the screen, which is known as the Wild Reel.

This special reel can feature special rewards or blank symbols.

Wild Reel Rewards

The following rewards can be present on the Wild Reel:

• Multiplier Wild – all wilds on the same row will receive a special multiplier value.
• Clone Wild – all wilds on the same row will be cloned a certain number of times (as shown on the symbol) and will be distributed to random positions on the reels.
• Multiplier & Clone Wild – all wilds on the same row will receive a multiplier value and are also cloned to different positions on the reels.
• Blank – blank symbols are not equipped with any special rewards.

Wild Reel Rewards are Applied to all Wild Symbols on the Same Row

Wild Symbols

While playing Sweet Gummy, Wild symbols can land anywhere on the reels.

When this happens, Wild symbols may carry a special multiplier value.

If more than one multiplier wild contributes to a winning combination on the same payline, the multiplier values will be added together before being applied to the payout.

During all clone rewards, it’s possible for a Wild symbol to land on the same position as an existing Wild symbol.

When this happens, it forms a Merged Wild, which has a multiplier value that’s equal to the sum of the multipliers that were merged.

Sweet Gummy Bonus

Sweet Gummy Bonus

The bonus round on Sweet Gummy is a Free Spins feature that is triggered by landing 2 or more Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels.

When this happens, you’ll be awarded one of the following features:

• 2 Bonus Symbols – 5 spins with 2 starting wilds
• 3 Bonus Symbols – 7 spins with 3 starting wilds
• 4 Bonus Symbols – 9 spins with 4 starting wilds
• 5 Bonus Symbols – 12 spins with 5 starting wilds

During Free Spins, all Bonus symbols become Wild and each Bonus symbol that lands on the reels will award 1 additional spin.

To make things more exciting, there are no blank symbols present on the Wild Reel during Free Spins.

Sweet Gummy Bonus Plus

Free Spins Wilds

During Free Spins, all Wild symbols move down one position with each spin.

This continues until the Wild symbols are removed from the reels completely.

New Wild symbols may land on any spin during the bonus round and any number of Wilds may randomly become sticky.

When a Wild becomes sticky, it means it won’t move down a position for that spin.

Sweet Gummy Bonus Ultra

Xpress

On Sweet Gummy, it’s possible to use the Xpress feature to instantly trigger the bonus round.

Should you decide to utilise this feature, you’ll be presented with the following options:

• Bonus (5 spins with 2 starting Wilds) – 60x bet
• Bonus Plus (7 spins with 3 starting Wilds) – 120x bet
• Bonus Ultra (9 spins with 4 starting Wilds) – 250x bet
• Bonus Max (12 spins with 5 starting Wilds) – 500x bet

Ante Bet

In addition to the Xpress bonus buy options, you can also enable the Ante Bet.

This will triple your chances at triggering Free Spins for a 50% increase in your bet size on each spin.

The maximum win available in Sweet Gummy is 10,000x bet. If the sum of a single game round exceeds this, the game round will end and 10,000x bet will be awarded.

First Impression

Although AvatarUX is definitely known best for the PopWins mechanic featured in many of their games, it’s always refreshing when a game provider is willing to try new things, which is what they’ve done with Sweet Gummy.

Even without the PopWins mechanic, the features that Sweet Gummy does have are without question quite entertaining.

This includes the Wild Reel with Wild Reel rewards and of course the Free Spins feature, both of which have the potential to be quite lucrative.

And speaking of lucrative, with a maximum payout of 10,000x bet and an RTP of 96.04%, this medium volatility release is sure to produce some big wins for players when it’s released.

Sweet Gummy is an innovative slot game that not only offers some serious winning potential, but some of the most lovable monster symbols you’ll ever come across, which may well keep this game at the top of your playlist for quite some time.
