Sweet Alchemy 2 Slot Review

Sweet Alchemy 2: Slot Overview

Sweet Alchemy 2 is Play'n GO's candy themed sequel to the 2018 original, and after a good few hundred spins I can say it feels both familiar and fresh. You play on a 9x9 grid, but only a 5x5 area starts active each round, surrounded by chocolate blocks. The aim is to land cluster wins, clear those blocks, and expand the grid towards the full 9x9 layout.

Sweet Alchemy 2 keeps the light, anime styled alchemist on screen, chatting away as you spin in a sugary fantasy landscape. Stakes run from 0.10 to 100 per round, with the same cluster pays engine on both desktop and mobile. The game feels highly volatile in practice, with long patches of small cascades broken up by sudden grid expansions that tease the free spins stage.

Sweets Alchemy 2 Slot Information

Sweets Alchemy 2 sits in a candy world with rivers, clouds, and a gingerbread style mansion in the distance, while the hat wearing alchemist hovers beside the grid. The look is clean rather than overloaded, with soft background music and vocal comments that some players mute quite quickly. Personally I left the soundtrack on for a while, then switched to effects only once the voice lines repeated.

In Sweets Alchemy 2 you create wins by landing at least four matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols vanish, new candies fall in, and an equal number of chocolate blocks break away to open more positions. This can grow the field from the initial 5x5 to the full 9x9 grid in one chain. Two wilds, Gobstopper and Striped, drop in to help build longer clusters.

The betting panel under the grid lets you adjust the stake quickly, and I often hopped between low testing spins and higher shots once the balance climbed. You can play Sweet Alchemy 2 with standard spins, Autoplay for set batches, or by holding the spacebar on desktop for quicker rounds. The information page lays out the paytable, rules, and feature explanations clearly enough for new players.

Symbols and Payouts

The paytable in Sweet Alchemy 2 lists eight regular candy symbols and two wilds. Low value sweets are shaped like circles, cones, arcs, and cubes, paying from 0.2x for a four symbol cluster up to 100x for groups of twenty or more. The premium symbols are the pastille, nut, heart, and star, where a cluster of twenty plus matching icons pays between 125x and 250x your stake.

As the slot uses a cluster pays engine rather than classic paylines, you want four or more identical sweets touching in lines or blocks. Striped wilds substitute and clear their whole row and column when part of a win, which can rip through chocolate and symbols at once. Gobstopper wilds land with up to five lives, so they can participate in several separate combinations before disappearing.

Sweet Alchemy 2 Bonus Features

Cascades sit at the heart of Sweet Alchemy 2 bonus play, as every win removes symbols then drops new ones in from above. Each winning symbol also breaks one chocolate block, gradually freeing up extra spaces on the grid. That process not only increases the number of symbols on screen but also edges you closer to the free spins feature, since you need to clear every block to start it.

Once you manage to open the entire 9x9 grid, Sweet Alchemy 2 awards four free spins with 2x2 merged symbols in the mix. The chocolate blocks stay on, and clearing them again during the round retriggers four extra spins and upgrades the merged symbol size to 3x3. Do it a third time and you get another four free spins with chunky 4x4 mega symbols, up to twelve spins altogether.

During free spins a collection meter appears beside the grid. Hitting the required symbol counts grants potion bottles, and each potion translates into a spin on the Bonus Wheel once the free spins end, provided you have earned any. The wheel carries multipliers up to 25x that apply to your total free spin winnings, so a decent candy cluster followed by a strong wheel hit can be very satisfying.

RTP & Volatility

Play'n GO lists the default RTP for Sweet Alchemy 2 as 96.20 percent, though the game ships with a few lower settings as well, so I always check the help screen at any casino first. Volatility sits in the high bracket, leaning towards medium high in some sessions, and the maximum win is 10,000x your bet. That combination makes careful bankroll management and sensible bet sizing quite important.

Sweet Alchemy 2: Slot Verdict

Sweet Alchemy 2 feels like a genuine step on from the first game rather than a lazy reskin. The focus on smashing chocolate blocks to reach free spins gives every small cluster some meaning, and watching the grid push from 5x5 out to 9x9 is quite engaging. That said, the round can be brutal, with plenty of sessions where I never quite cleared those last few tiles before the balance dipped.

For me the slot hits a nice balance between playful visuals and sharp, high variance gameplay. The candy theme and chatty alchemist will appeal to some and irritate others, yet the 10,000x max win and interactive grid keep me coming back for more testing. If you enjoy cluster paying slots that demand patience and reward long cascades, Sweet Alchemy 2 deserves a solid spin or two.
