2 Sweet 4 U

2 Sweet 4 U: Slot Overview

With a name like something a teenager might write on their pencil case, 2 Sweet 4 U is developer 4ThePlayer's foray into the world of candy-coated scatter wins slots. This will probably sound pretty familiar if you've ever picked up Pragmatic Play's Sweet Bonanza or one of its imitators. However, 2 Sweet 4 U isn't a total imitator of one of the most well-known examples of this type of game. 4ThePlayer has rammed in a few upgrades to sweeten the bargain; bad pun unavoidably intended there.

2 Sweet 4 U lives in a world where just about everything, including the 6x5 game grid, looks edible, though maybe control yourself if you ever end up there, for health purposes and all. A pinky and blue house sits beside a candied river, where trees jiggle, and mountains look like hills of icing sugar. If one of the jobs of a candy-themed slot is to explode your eyeballs with pastel piles of sweet goodness, 2 Sweet 4 U gets the job well and truly done.

To find out if 2 Sweet 4 U lives up to its name, players may pick a stake of 10 c to $/€80 and start hammering the spin button. The RTP isn't overly sweet at 94%, while the volatility is said to be medium-high. You may find sugar in this game, but you will not find paylines, clusters, or ways. Instead, winning combinations are created when at least 8 identical pay symbols land on the grid; any position is fine. Wins trigger the cascade mechanic that takes the winning symbols off the board and drops symbols down to replace them, repeating till no new win is formed.

The pay symbols are all candies of various types, such as circles, diamonds, stars, hearts, eggs, rings, cherries, cola bottles, and gummy bears. Quite tasty looking actually, you can almost imagine sinking your teeth into the gelatine squishiness. Scatter wins of 8-9 OAK are worth 0.2-8 times the bet, rising to 2.5-75 times the bet for 12+ OAK. Wilds are not used in 2 Sweet 4 U. Perhaps they just weren't sweet enough.

2 Sweet 4 U: Slot Features

Other special symbols do feature in 2 Sweet 4 U. These are Multipliers, the Sugar Bomb, the Doubler, and the Choccy Transform, joined by free spins and bonus buys.

Multipliers

Multiplier symbols land on any spin or have a multiplier attached. If a winning combination occurs, all Multiplier symbols in view increase their values. At the end of a winning cascade run, the values of any Multiplier symbols in view are added together and applied to the total win.

Choccy Transforms

Before wins are evaluated, any Choccy Transform symbols change to another symbol on the reels. All copies of this symbol get Choccy Transform backgrounds. If there are enough copies of this symbol, including the new Choccy Transform symbols, to create a win, the feature ends and payouts are made. If there are not enough copies of these symbols to form a win, then all symbols with a Choccy Transform background change to another symbol on the reels, and all copies of this symbol get a Choccy Transform background. This continues till a win is formed of symbols with Choccy Transform backgrounds.

Doubler

Before wins are evaluated, any Doubler symbols on the reels transform into another symbol on the reels. All copies of this symbol in view on the reels are doubled, counting as 2 symbols of that type for a win.

Sugar Bombs

If there are no wins, any Sugar Bomb symbols on the reels explode and remove a number of losing symbols from view. This causes a cascade. Sugar Bombs explode after any Choccy Transform and Doubler symbols have been evaluated.

Free Spins

Landing 4, 5, or 6+ scatter symbols awards 8 free spins plus a payout of 2.5x, 10x, or 150x the bet, respectively. Any Multiplier symbols landing on winning spins are added to a total Bonus Multiplier. Landing new Multiplier symbols increases the current win by the Bonus Multiplier, as well. Hitting 3 or more scatters triggers a further +4 free spins.

Feature Buy

The feature buy is where players can buy the free spins round for 60 times their bet, or a single spin with a guaranteed win and one or more Multiplier symbols for 125x their bet.

2 Sweet 4 U: Slot Verdict

In the tradition of progress, 2 Sweet 4 U stands on the shoulders of giants and uses them to springboard to somewhere new and gooey. The bones of 2 Sweet 4 U are recognisable - land matching symbols any old where on the board to get scatter wins, and if you're lucky, Multiplier symbols will be there as well, to add extra flavour to the win. Unlike Sweet Bonanza or Sweet Bonanza 1000, Multiplier symbols will land in the base game, not only the bonus round, so that's a plus. If you're feeling really wild and crazy, it's even possible to buy a spin that guarantees a Multiplier symbol will land alongside a win if time is of the essence. As well as these add-ons, 4ThePlayer has created a few other innovations to brighten 2 Sweet 4 U with.

It's hard to say a bad word about the new bits, too. Choccy Transforms are a positive addition, as are Doublers and Sugar Bombs. Perhaps the most exciting new factor is the way Multiplier symbols increase when wins are taking place on the reels. 2 Sweet 4 U can achieve wins of up to 12,145.5x the bet, pushing it firmly beyond Gates of Olympus territory (as a scatter wins comparison), so decent multis are likely to be a possibility.

One little sad face attribute is 2 Sweet 4 U's return to player value. It's a pretty common figure these days, but considering Pragmatic Play's scatter pays slots regularly offer 96% versions, 2 Sweet 4 U's RTP is a deficit. Ah well, if that's not an issue, then players looking for a candy-coated scatter pay extravagance with chocolaty extras to indulge in can find them in 4ThePlayer's 2 Sweet 4 U.
