Play Sugar Parade for Free

The free Sugar Parade slot allows you to set a coin size ranging from 0.15 to 75. In other words, your max bet stands at 75 coins and it comes with a jackpot of 8,000 coins. With two bonus rounds plus a shedload of free spins to be won – as many as 20 – this is a game which has far more depth to it than an initial glance would reveal. It’s the bonus rounds that will make you rich, but it’s the playing symbols that will put a smile on your face. Sweet and anthropomorphic, each one could be straight out of a Pixar film. In this instance though it’s the adults, not the kids, who are the beneficiaries of Microgaming’s design team.

Candyland worlds never tire and it’s safe to say that Sugar Parade won’t be the last game to be released in this vein. There’s plenty more where that came from, if not from Microgaming then from any one of the hundreds of other developers out there specialising in online slots. From playing cards to sweets, every symbol that graces the 5x3 board has been given some kind of personality. In the background, a blue and purple series of hills and valleys appear to be made out of ice cream, frosting and other delectable treats.

Spinning the reels and listening to the cheerful sound effects is fun enough but the bonus games are where this mobile-compatible slot steps things up a notch. Royal Bonus is the main feature; it’s activated when you land three or more bonus symbols in a line, starting with reel one. The more bonus symbols you land, the more picks you’ll be awarded, each of which corresponds with a cash prize. The other bonus is of course free spins, triggered here with three or more scatters on the board. By default, your spins will be accompanied by a 3x multiplier. It’s possible to retrigger this feature too, doubling the 10 spins to 20. That’s about it in terms of features, but given that it’s only a 15 payline slot, this seems a reasonable amount of action to squeeze into what is, let’s not forget, a low limit game.

Sugar Parade is rated as being a low to medium variance slot. Punters who’ve taken to its Candyland aesthetic and theme will find plenty more where that came from. Developers such as Betsoft have had their own stab at producing similar slots, in their case coming up with Sugar Pop. It’s a Candy Crush-style slot, one with a drop effect instead of spinning reels. The game has medium volatility and its playing board measures 5x5. There’s also a Candyland slot on the market and Candyland Cash too. The former is a 1x2 Gaming release with 9 paylines and 5 to 15 free spins to be won.

Charming and insanely cute, Sugar Parade is a game that it’s hard to pick too many holes in. Play it for too long though and you get the sense that it could pick a few holes in your teeth, that’s how sickly sweet this slot is. It’s a nice kind of sweet though, the sort that makes this game extremely enjoyable, whether you choose to play for fun or to play for real money. Microgaming don’t release a lot of bad games and, while not their best to date, Sugar Parade is nevertheless a fine addition to their back catalogue.
