Tasty Treats Review

If you’re on a strict diet, or you’re simply trying to stay away from too much candy in general, Hacksaw Gaming’s latest release, Tasty Treats, might not be the best choice for you. However, if you have no trouble indulging yourself with a sugary overload now and then, this Sweet Bonanza inspired Pocketz installment might be right up your alley.

With a blurred out candy world as the backdrop, this mobile friendly release plays out with cascading wins on a cluster pays 6x5 grid. Bubbles of different sizes float up on a regular basis to award both wilds and multipliers, and this core feature is even more frequently triggered in the bonus round. This is the first Hacksaw release where it’s not immediately obvious who’s behind it, and the Sweet Bonanza influence is perhaps a tad too obvious.

Tasty Treats Slot Features

The Cluster Pays engine requires you to match 5 to 15+ symbols in the same cluster anywhere on the 6x5 grid to win. The 10 symbols pay between 20 and 60 x your stake for 15+ in a cluster, and all winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic. New and/or existing symbols then drop down to fill the gaps, and this repeats as long as you keep winning. Wild symbols step in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos, but hold no value of their own.

Bubbles will float up at random times, and these then burst over a random position on the grid.

The bubbles can land partially in view also, and they can award up to 9 feature symbols at best. The Multipliers between x2 to x100 are added together if more than one land in the same winning cluster, and your payout is then boosted accordingly.

A candy thieving Monster Hand will trigger at random times too, and it removes a fair amount of symbols from the grid. It removes all symbols from the first or last 3 columns, or everything altogether. Overlay multipliers and wilds are not removed however, and this triggers a new cascade.

The Bonus Round is triggered when you land 3 scatters anywhere in view, and you’ll then see each scatter turn into a random number.

Non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, can purchase the bonus round directly for 129x the stake. This awards 3 scatters on the spin that follows, and you will then get between 6 and 15 free spins for starters.

The 200 Spins Tasty Treats Slot Experience

Nothing overly exciting happened for us in the base game, but we’ve still included 1 minute of it in our 3:22-minute highlights video. We then purchase the bonus round close to the 1-minute mark, and we got plenty of wild bubbles if nothing else. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

While most Hacksaw releases are immediately recognizable due to their simplistic and unique visual style, Tasty Treats looks like Sweet Bonanza or any other candy themed slot. This “compromise” is a tad disappointing, but also an understandable choice with a theme like this. The Bubble Boosters mechanic is enjoyable though, and it usually awards an abundance of wilds most of the time.

Getting multipliers wasn’t all that easy, even in the bonus round, but they can make a significant impact when they do appear. Perhaps making them multiplier wilds instead of overlay symbols would have been even more exciting, but it is what it is.

Pros

• Bubble Boosters w/ multipliers and wilds
• Monster Hand symbol removal
• FS w/ more frequent Bubble Boosters
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
