cake and ice cream slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Sweet treats are incredibly popular as themes for online slots – perhaps the developers are trying to make us all fat by pushing us to yearn for some sugar-filled goodness? Or maybe they don’t realise that putting sweets and ice cream on a screen isn’t quite as tasty as having them on the table in front of you? Just take a look at Candyways Bonanza 2, Candy Burst, or Wild Donuts if you don’t believe me; developers are just obsessed with these games! However, Red Tiger’s effort here is one of the best looking of the bunch, so I’m going to let them off for using a theme that is almost as overused as fruits… actually, that’s a gross exaggeration. Compared to fruits, sweet-themed slots are one of the most original genres you could ever think of.

How about the paytable, then? I believe our top-paying symbol is a quadruple layer cheesecake, although it may just be a four-layer sponge cake… Red Tiger wasn’t kind enough to tell us. How are we meant to get our mouths watering with excitement if we don’t even know what cake it is? Ah, I digress. Quad-layer cheesecake will pay you 30x your bet for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind, followed by a triple-layer iced Victoria sponge (That’s what it is because I said so) which is worth 24x for all five. That’s all the cake you're allowed, I’m afraid, so you’ll need to hit five ice cream cones if you want to win yourself 18x or a five-of-a-kind combination of circular lollipops to win the 12x prize. A single sweetie completes the “high-paying” symbols with its return of 8x for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind, after which we have four low paying symbols represented by the playing card suits with payouts of between 7x and 4x for all five. 

Red Tiger’s usual minimum bet of €0.10 per spin is all present and correct, whilst the maximum bet is a little bit higher than I have become accustomed to from Red Tiger – €40.00 per round, meaning you could potentially win up to €100,000 if you hit all 15 scatter pay symbols at max bet.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game uses a typical 5x3 playfield, but the actual gameplay pans out a little differently from a regular online slot. This is mainly due to the scatter-pay prizes, which require a large number of “Cake & Ice Cream” scatter symbols on the reels to make those prizes achievable. Unfortunately, this also means that those scatters tend to block other regular pay line hits, which is a big problem in a game with such a small playfield. The issue is further exacerbated by the small size of the wins on the paytable, too – even when you do hit something, it often isn’t worth very much.

There aren’t any “real” bonus rounds in Cake & Ice Cream, so I was intrigued to spot the bonus buy option at the bottom of the screen – what could it possibly contain?
