Sugar Pop — slot review

A slot Betsoft released long before the industry-wide craze for 'Candy Crush' mechanics: a 5x5 grid, cluster pays instead of paylines, and cascades in which winning candies burst to make way for new ones. The main highlight is the level system: as you rack up points you unlock new special candies (explosives, colour bombs, lightning) that stay with you and make the game increasingly explosive. The result is a genuine arcade game wrapped in a slot — bright, addictive and full of mobile-game-style progression. It's a perfect fit for casual players and anyone tired of classic reels. Its success was such that a sequel, Sugar Pop 2: Double Dipped, followed later.
