Sunny Scoops Slot Machine
Imagine walking into an ice cream parlour and asking for one scoop in a cornet and the person serving you not just giving you one, but continually adding the scoops as you watch your treat become higher and higher. This is exactly what you’ll find happening here at this ice cream based slot – where you’ll win based upon matching the flavours of ice cream scoops.
This is a fun looking slot, which doesn’t quite fit with the standard reels set up found at the majority of online slots. Here each spin will see three empty cornets at the bottom of the screen have three scoops of ice cream added on top of each. This makes for a very colourful game with good visual quality, although not quite up to the standard of some of the more cinematic slots you’ll find online today. The game is accompanied by a jaunty little tune and suitable sound effects, which make for a fun experience overall.
The feature at this slot is the free spins round, where your ice cream snack can grow taller and taller, as the multipliers increase all the while.
Set up and Play for Sunny Scoops Slot
This slot is a little unusual as there are only three reels in play and there are no alternative symbols like wilds or scatters at all. There are 14 win lines across the three reels (ice creams) and all these have to be played. Unlike many slots, you’ll actually pay a total stake for each spin, as opposed to paying per line, which does simplify things a little.
To win at this slot you’ll simply need to land three consecutive symbols in a row on a win line. The lemon sorbet flavour (I think!) is the top paying and you’ll win 5x your stake when landing it on each of the three reels on a win line. The lemon ice comes next, being worth 3x your total stake. Other flavours include chocolate with added chocolate sprinkles and strawberry.
Perhaps the handiest option of all is the auto spins feature, where you can set the slot to play for up to 5,000 spins while you sit back and slowly but surely become more and more hyper as the sugar shoots across the screen.
If you find that three scoops on top of each other all match, you’ll see a wheel appear above the top scoop. This will show a combination of multipliers or symbols matching the flavour of the scoop. Should you hit a multiplier (the wheel will spin and stop on an arrow) you’ll gain a win for the three matching symbols multiplied by this number. This is unusual, in that you’ll actually gain a win vertically at a slot – not something that I’ve seen before. Should you land on the matching scoop you’ll enter the free games bonus round.
Sunny Scoops Free Spins Round
You’ll start the feature spins round with 10 free spins. In this round you’ll find just two types of flavour – the one used to activate the round and a plain one. The winning flavour will appear exactly once on each cornet and if the three symbols form a win line you’ll gain a free re-spin and your multiplier will increase by 1. Your multiplier will increase every time you receive a win and there is actually no limit to the size of the multiplier – keep winning and it will keep rising. Every losing spin will see the multiplier decrease by one. This round is better the more valuable the flavour you enter it with – as all the pays match the standard game.
Fruit Mode is the highlight of the slot. A scale will appear at the bottom of the screen and you’ll try to make your way along it, picking up multipliers as you go. You’ll move along by picking up more of the symbols you used to activate the feature, however if this doesn’t appear the round will be over. You can also pick up an extra life, meaning you’ll be allowed one spin where you won’t need your fruit to appear. The multipliers in this round can become huge as the multiplier increment is determined by the number of symbols in a win.
Sunny Scoops Slot Conclusion
Thunderkick are known for their range of innovative and somewhat quirky slots and this is no different. A slot without any wilds or scatter symbols might seem a little strange and perhaps not very enticing, but the way the feature is activated is highly original. This slot is colourful, fun and grabs you from the start and is one you’ll play again and again. This is another job well done from Thunderkick.
