Sweet 16 Slot Review

RealTime Gaming largely cater to American audiences, so it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that they have themed this slot on a major American tradition – a teenage girl’s sixteenth birthday. The Sweet 16 slot is all about love hearts, candy, and birthday celebrations.

RTG’s Sweet 16 slot contains the ever popular 243 ways to win gaming format and is jam-packed with candy symbols galore. It isn’t going to appeal to everybody, but what video slot does?

One really nifty feature of this slot is that they can speed up gameplay via a specific speed button located to the bottom left of the reels. It doesn’t do much, but it is one extra feature which is notably absent from many other RTG developed slots.

Developers

RealTime Gaming are a major casino software provider, although they mostly draw their crowd from the USA and other North American countries. They offer their games via offshore casino sites, and that sees them get around the strict US gambling laws.

RTG’s games are not considered to be as developed as some offerings from the other major developers, such as Microgaming, Playtech, and Net Entertainment. There is still lots of entertainment to had in the vast majority of their games, though.

How to play

Most RTG developed slots adopt a similar structure, but Sweet 16 is a bit different in that regard. They are offering 243 paylines across this slot’s 5 reels, but naturally, players are never going to be able to adjust those lines.

The sweet and tasty wagering menu can see you choose positively diddly wagers, though, which stem from a floor of just $0.25 per spin, up to no more than $6.25 per spin at most.

Features

Wild symbols: Keep your eyes peeled for the Sweet 16 logo. This emblem can act as a substitute symbol, and replace all other symbols in the slot with the exception of scatters. Sweet 16 logos can appear on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels, and can act as grouped (stacked) wild symbols.

Scatter symbols: These appear as lollipop sticks, and when they do crop up on the reels, they can multiply your total bet. Scatter symbols appearing on the reels three, four, or five times can offer you wins worth 3x, 10x, or 500x your total bet.

Morphing symbols: The slot also contains Morphing Symbols. After any winning combination is achieved, new symbols will appear in the place of those which featured in the winning combination, offer you continual wins until no new winning combinations occur.

Every successive win you have with the Morphing Symbols will add a multiplier, and these multipliers can rise as high as 10x the normal rate of pay in total.

Sweet 16 bonus: The only bonus round to star in this slot is the Sweet 16 feature. It is triggered by landing 3 or more scatter icons (lollipops, as you’ll recall) on the reels of the slot.

In total, players will bag 16 free spins, during which Morphing Symbols can boost your wins with multipliers worth up to 20x the normal rate of pay. This feature can be retriggered by landing more scatters on the reels whilst the bonus is in play.

Maximum pay-outs

You can’t really grumble at the prizes which appear in this slot. Sweet 16 carries a non-progressive jackpot which is fixed at 500 coins. You can win that figure in one of two ways.

The first way is to land 5 of the multi-coloured chocolate icons on a payline. The second way is to land 5 scatter symbols on the reels. Either way, the pay-rate is the same.

Summary

Sweet 16 is a delicious looking slot from RealTime Gaming.

It will certainly draw crowds from the bubble-gum and candy slot lovers out there, but more serious slot players may not be drawn in by its colourful, childish gameplay. Still, as far as features go, this is a more than decent slot release for RTG.
