Sugar Pop II

You'll be taking a trip through a candy wonderland in Sugar Pop 2: Double Dipped, a game available at BetSoft online casinos. The graphics of this game are tremendous, even by the already high standards that BetSoft has for their games, and it incorporates a smart mix of 2D and 3D graphics. The gameplay also has a strong focus in this title, so it's not a case of it being all flash with no substance. Instead, you'll have lots of opportunities for action-oriented play, and the replay value is high as well because of how the various game systems are designed.

A Huge Format

The layout for this game is enormous, and there are seven vertical columns with seven horizontal rows of symbols. It does not use the traditional payline structure, as we'll explain below, but you can bet between 50 and 250 coins per spin. The coins themselves range in value from $0.01 to $1 each, so your total betting range is $0.50 to $250 per turn. The minimum bet size might seem a little on the high side for some players, but because the volatility is fairly low, you won't be subjected to swings that are that serious.

Cluster-based Wins

As you noticed above, there aren't typical paylines in this game. Instead, you get paid based on clusters. A cluster in this game is a set of matching symbols that are adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically. Being connected diagonally only does not create a cluster in this game, and that's important to remember if you're used to games with a similar style where diagonally touching symbols do create wins.

Free Spins Bonus Round

The red candy with "FS" on it in yellow is the free spins symbol. A cluster of at least four will win free turns starting with five free spins. Each additional symbol in the cluster adds two to the total. This means five symbols gets seven free spins, six gets nine, seven gets 11 and so on. You can re-trigger this feature and add more free spins to the total while in the middle of this feature.

Candy Bomb Feature

If you get a cluster of at least five, then you'll trigger the candy bomb. After your clusters are paid normaly, the bomb hits the game board to blow up a set of symbols. This gives you an instant win prize based on the symbols that exploded, and it also allows new symbols to fall down into place to give you opportunities for extra payouts in a sort of re-spin or avalanche-style feature.

How to Level Up

The yellow star symbol with a pink arrow is the Level Up symbol. This symbol advances the "Level Up Trail" on the side of the grid of symbols, and you can move along the levels for better symbols, features and chances to win. This means that the longer you play, the better your chances to get further in the game and the better your chances for increased prizes.

Each level adds a special candy to the reels that has a special power. They all give you winnings and better chances to get paid, so you want to pick up as many of them as possible.

Other Cluster Wins

Any cluster of four or more matching symbols pays in this game. You're paid based on the number of symbols in th cluster multiplied by the value of the symbol. The heart symbol is worth 20x, and the blue triangle is worth 15x. The green sphere pays 12x, and the yellow cube gts you 10x. You can also win 8x, 6x and 4x for the orange, pink and teardrop symbols, respectively.

For example, a cluster of five hearts pays 100x total since it's 20x multiplied by the five symbols in the cluster. Since you can get some pretty huge cluster wins in this game, the opportunities to land massive wins on a single spin are very serious.
