Sugar Merge Up

How to play

The round begins with the bet, which can be nudged up with the optional Chance ×2 setting to improve the odds of reaching the bonus game. Wins come from clusters of four or more adjacent matching symbols. After a payout, some of those symbols disappear while others advance to the next level, and the cells of the winning cluster stay marked. A player can also switch on a Booster mode before spinning or go straight to the bonus through Buy Bonus. Autoplay is among the tags, a free demo is offered, and the game loads fine on phones and tablets.

Theme and symbols

The look is cheerful and candy-colored, filled with jelly bears and bubblegum. Two named symbols stand out: the Scatter, which opens the bonus, and the Bubblegum, which appears when a cluster of top-level symbols is cleared.

Features

Merge Up: symbols advance through 9 main levels, with the Scatter sitting at level 10.

Cell Multipliers: cells in a winning cluster get a ×2 multiplier for later wins there, doubling each time up to ×128 per cell. Cluster multipliers add together, and marks last until the spin ends.

Bubblegum symbol: made from a cluster of 8th-level symbols, it explodes, clears 8 nearby symbols, lifts their multipliers by one stage and then becomes a Scatter.

Free Spins: 3, 4, 5 and 6+ Scatters award 12, 15, 20 and 30 spins, and 3+ Scatters during the round add 5 more. Marked cells stay marked and multiplier progress carries on. See how free spins work in general.

Buy Bonus: choose a standard Free Spins round, one starting with ×2 in each cell, or one with 3 to 9 starting bombs that generate multipliers carried into the bonus.

Booster modes: Random Booster adds multipliers up to ×128 on each spin, while Booster ×16 fills the grid with ×16 multipliers from the start.

Chance ×2: slightly raises the bet and improves the chance of triggering the bonus; it is off while Buy Bonus or a Booster is active. The max win is 10000 times the bet. More from the studio: all BGaming games, or browse the slots lobby.
