Welcome to an exclusive interview with James Jelliffe, the Head of Game Design at Stakelogic. Today, we’ll enter into the sugar coated world of Big Sugar Bonanza, our latest online slot release. Thanks for joining us, James!
James Jelliffe: It’s a pleasure to be here and talk about our sweet new game!
James, can you start by giving us an overview of Big Sugar Bonanza and what players can expect?
JJ: Big Sugar Bonanza takes players to a delicious kingdom ruled by the Fluffkins, where they’ll find lollipop trees, fairy floss clouds, and giant ice-cream candy mountains. It’s a playful, visually engaging slot game designed to immerse players in a whimsical world while offering plenty of winning opportunities.
That sounds delightful! Can you tell us more about the base game mechanics?
JJ: Big Sugar Bonanza is a cluster-pays game on a 7×7 grid, where wins are formed by landing five or more symbols in a cluster. When players land a win, the Tumble mechanic is activated, removing the winning symbols and allowing new ones to fall into their place, potentially triggering more wins. All of this is backed up by a Mystery Multiplier mechanic.
The Mystery Multiplier sounds intriguing. How does it work?
JJ: The Mystery Multiplier can appear at any time before a spin, taking up a random position and size on the grid. It starts with no multiplier, but when a win occurs over it, the value doubles up to x512, significantly enhancing the player’s wins.
Let’s talk about the Free Spins feature. How can players trigger it, and what makes it exciting?
JJ: Players trigger the Free Spins round by landing three or more Bonus symbols. They can receive up to 30 Free Spins. During Free Spins, a Mystery Multiplier is automatically added to the grid and changes position with each spin, increasing the excitement and potential for big wins. The multiplier and size of the Mystery Multiplier is also progressive over the course of the Free Spins, with Scatter collection increasing the size of the Mystery Multiplier.
And what about re-triggering Free Spins? Is that possible?
JJ: Yep! Collecting two Scatter symbols during the Free Spins round will increase the size of the Mystery Multiplier all the way up to 7×7, being the entire grid, and award additional spins. This progressive mechanic is truly the heart of the Free Spins game and gives player some fantastic potential wins, with some delicious anticipation.
Is there a way for players to jump straight into the Free Spins?
JJ: Yes, players who can’t wait can use the Buy Bonus feature, allowing them to instantly trigger the Free Spins round for 100x their bet. It’s a great option for those looking to dive straight into the action.
It sounds like there’s a lot of fun and excitement packed into Big Sugar Bonanza. What’s the maximum win players can look forward to?
JJ: Players can win up to an incredible 10,000x their bet, making Big Sugar Bonanza not just a visual treat but a rewarding experience as well.
Thank you, James, for sharing these insights into Big Sugar Bonanza. It sounds like a fantastic game that players will love.
JJ: Thank you! We’re excited for players to experience the fun and win big.
