There’s no shortage of sugar-themed games in the market, but it’s still possible to make room for new ones. If such games are your cup of tea, we have a real treat. Say hello to Super Sugar Pop – Hold & Win, one of the fresh additions to Betsoft’s rich portfolio.
With hundreds of similarly-themed slots out there, it’s the perfect moment to see whether the new release brings anything new. If you want to find out more about this adventure, join us as we dive deep into the sugary world filled with candies and winning opportunities.
The Candyland Awaits
The slot’s visuals leave a nice impression. The background imagery used by Betsoft is full of colours, while subtle animations add to the presentation. Despite the quality of the graphics, everything looks a bit generic, although this should not impact your playing experience. The same can be said for the cheerful tune playing in the background. A touch of originality wouldn’t have hurt anyone.
The game uses a grid consisting of six reels and five rows. There are no paylines or winning ways, and instead, Super Sugar Pop – Hold & Win relies on the Pays Anywhere system to deliver wins. All you need are at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the reels, and you’ll receive a corresponding prize.
Despite its sweet appearance, the game uses a highly volatile maths model, along with a payout percentage of 96.50%. Betting starts at $0.25, with $12.50 being the maximum amount of money you can wager on any spin.
The game’s motion differs from your regular slots. The reason for this is the Pay Anywhere system and the Cascade mechanics. You’ll quickly realise that symbols don’t actually spin on the reels, but they drop off as fresh ones drop into the board.
Speaking of symbols, they can be split into two categories. Playing cards are low, while red hearts, green lollipops, blue squares, purple hexagons, and yellow triangles are high-value symbols. After a win is formed, the Cascade mechanics jump into play, removing the triggering symbols from the reels, with new ones dropping into empty positions. This can lead to new wins, repeating the entire process.

Super Sugar Pop – Hold & Win: Features
In addition to the titular Hold & Win feature, the game has a few other extras on offer. Let’s take a moment to learn more about the available features.
Hold & Win
Get eight or more Bonus symbols to activate the Hold & Win feature. The triggering symbols remain in place, and you receive three respins. Any new Bonus, Crush, Double, or Collect symbols landing anywhere on the reels lock in place, resetting the number of respins.
As its name suggests, the role of the Collect symbol is to gather the values of Bonus symbols on the reels. After it does its job, it will turn into a new Bonus symbol, albeit with the collected value.
When appearing on the grid, the Double symbol will double the value of randomly chosen Bonus symbols. Once it does its task, it will disappear from the board. On the other hand, the Crush symbols will crush all Bonus symbols on the same reel, turning into a Bonus symbol with their combined value.
The Hold & Win feature is played until you run out of respin or all Bonus symbols get locked.
Free Spins
Landing four or more Scatters awards a corresponding payout and, more importantly, grants access to the Free Spins round. Regardless of the number of triggering symbols, you get ten freebies, with three or more adding five extra spins to the count.
Multiplier Bombs
The Multiplier Bomb symbol appears solely during Free Spins. When it lands on the reels during a winning spin, it applies all multipliers on the grid to the said win after cascades are completed. These symbols also have random multipliers, which range from 2x to 100. You can have more than one Multiplier Bomb on the reels at the same time, potentially leading to hefty payouts.
