Cupcakes Slot Review

Overview

What does it feel and look like to walk in the valley of sweets? The Cupcakes slot is another game that's here to test your sweet tooth. NetEnt added another game with a 6x7 gameboard with scatter pays to its library. This fun release with a timeless theme has brightly-colored visuals. For example, you can expect cute tasty-looking symbols in pastel colors and a pink matrix. The sweet landscape filled with cupcakes is visible in the background. You can also listen to a cartoony tune.

Users can expect a release that works well on modern smartphones and tablets. For details about this slot's free spins, crush feature, and other features, check our detailed Cupcakes slot review. Let's not forget that GoodLuckMate also includes a Cupcakes demo that you can try whenever you are ready.

How to Play Cupcakes Slot

If you like the theme and visuals, you might want to try the Cupcakes slot game by pressing the curved pointer below the middle two reels. Once you click on it, the current symbols will be replaced with new ones after a single spin. You should check the betting options by pressing the coins, and you will spot many opportunities starting with €0.1 and ending with €200. So, this game is suitable for novice/casual and experienced/high roller players.

Like other popular slots, this one has an autoplay feature that you can access upon clicking on the play icon on the main screen. Every player can use up to one thousand auto-rounds and the fast-forward sign to speed up the rounds. With the speaker's help, you can adjust the volume or turn off the audio. You'll open the payout table by pressing the info sign on the left. Also, the three lines will display the game rules and let you modify the settings.

Symbols and Payouts

We have ten symbols in the Cupcakes slot, seven of which are basic. As a game with cluster pays mechanics, this slot provides prizes to players with at least eight identical icons on the matrix. You will get rewarded for landing 8 or 9, 10 or 11, 12 to 14, or 15 or more symbols. Check the descriptions in our Cupcakes slot review in the following paragraphs for each icon's maximum and minimum payouts.

To be more precise, you can expect two minimum and maximum payouts with the basic symbols. So, the Blue, Light-Blue, Green, Yellow, and Orange Candies deliver prizes worth 0.1 to 1 times the total stake. On the other hand, the Red and Violet Candies will help you get 0.2 to 1 time the bet. These are not spectacular prizes, but they happen very frequently.

Plus, you can find a Multiplier icon that boosts the rewards (it doesn't pay prizes on its own). The Scatter is another non-paying unique symbol, just like the Gumdrop.

Cupcakes Bonus Features

Now that you know how the basic icons work, it's time for the Cupcakes bonus features. There are several of these that can help you boost your wins.

Avalanche Feature

Every symbol contributing to a scatter-winning combo is destroyed, and a new icon will take its place. This Avalanche feature continues as long as there are new consecutive wins.

Free Spins

What looks like a Box filled with Cream is a Scatter icon of this release. Players with three to five Scatters on any position on the reels will launch 10, 13, or 16 Cupcakes free spins. Also, hitting three, four, or five Scatters during this round will provide 3, 6, or 9 additional free spins.

Like other bonus features, you can trigger free spins even during Cupcakes free play.

Bonus Buy Feature

You don't have to wait for three or more Scatters to appear on the screen randomly and trigger free spins. You can use the Bonus Buy feature instead. Namely, by paying 100 times your current bet, you will get at least 10 free spins.

Cupcake Symbol

It would've been weird if a game with a title like this didn't feature a Cupcake icon. In this case, the Cupcakes cover an area of 2x2. You can land one to four Cupcakes at the bottom of the reel one and two, three or four, or five or six. These icons feature Multiplier values of 2x to 100x.

Gumdrops Collection

When Gumdrops contribute to a winning pattern, they are eliminated and collected into all Cupcakes of the same color on the matrix. When a Cupcake gathers at least 10 Gumdrops, it will disappear, and you get its Multiplier.  

Multiplier

Once the scattered winning combos stop appearing (when the Avalanche feature stops), the win from the spin is boosted by the total Multiplier.

Crush Feature

At random, the slot can activate the Crush feature when at least five Gumdrop icons contribute to a winning combo. Two or more of these icons must be present on one reel pair. During this mode, an extra Cupcake appears on the reel pair that triggered the feature. At the same time, the Gumdrop icons are eliminated and collected into the extra Cupcake icon of the same color.

RTP & Volatility

Stay with us for a few lines because we will use this part of the Cupcakes slot review to highlight the RTP and volatility. The Cupcakes RTP is slightly above average – 96.05%. Also, this is another high-volatility online slot.
