How Sweet Alchemy works

Connect a cluster of four or more matching candies on the 5x5 grid. Winning clusters melt away and the candies above fall into place. Every symbol in a winning cluster counts towards the Sugar Rush meter.

The free round

The free round is played on a 9x9 grid. The alchemist casts three spells to keep it going: Mixed Candy shuffles the grid, Sweet Surprise turns 7 to 12 candies wild and Sugar Bomb blasts away 7 to 15 candies.

Bonus round

Collecting two specific kinds of candy in the free round opens the bonus. You pick chocolate pips until three matching elixirs show your prize, from two to ten times your bet across three levels. Play the bonus three times to unlock a chest worth 15% of your main game winnings since it was last opened.

What to look for in the demo

Track the two candies you need in the free round. Without them the bonus round never opens.
