One of the three games that Top Game has released in the Sugar Rush series, Summer Time takes the action to the beach, dressing up the candy symbols in appropriate clothing for the occasion and placing various accessories on them, like hats or sunglasses. The game doesn’t seem to have changed that much since the initial Sugar Rush title was launched, though some symbols have been modified. The features have remained largely the same though.
Like most average slot machines, the 5 reels of this game hold 20 paylines. The symbols include scatters and wilds among them, and they can bring you bonus games and free spins. The big prize that the game advertises offers you $5,000.
Features of Sugar Rush Summer Time
Part of Summer Time’s list of features are the same basic ones that the first game of the series offered. You have a wild symbol, a scatter which gives you free spins, plus a bonus symbol with its bonus game.
Out of the three features, the only one to retain its original image is the wild, which still has the image of the Gingerbread Man showing on it. The difference is that now this character wears a flower on his ear and a flower necklace around his neck. It’s still the same wild feature though, even the prizes of up to 1,000x remaining the same when it forms its own combinations. As a wild, it appears on all the reels and substitutes only for the regular symbols, not for scatters or bonus icons.
Free Games Feature
The free spins are now triggered with the help of Beach Balls symbols, which act as scatters. Having 3, 4 or 5 Beach Balls icons on the five reels will get you 10, 15 or 20 spins for free.
Bonus Game
You also have a bonus game, and just as before you can win up to 3,000 bonus points while you play it, though it depends on your luck and on the number of triggering symbols. Having three bonus Cocktail symbols on a payline in random positions will bring you 20 to 600 bonus points, while four Cocktails trigger 60 to 1,800 bonus points and five of them give you 100 to 3,000 bonus points.
Betting options and jackpots
With all the lines activated, you are required to use 20 coins each round. If their value is the highest one, meaning $5, then you can spend $100 per spin. However, their minimum denomination is only $0.01, so you can go a lot lower if your budget doesn’t allow it.
Regular combinations of symbols, of wilds in this case, will pay 1,000 coins, or up to $5,000. There is the possibility of getting more with the bonus game helping out, which can bring you 3,000 bonus points, or $15,000.
Design and symbols
This series of games offers a combination of playing cards and various types of candy for its symbols. In this case, it follows the summer theme, using various accessories on the candy symbols, to make them appropriate for the season. You have some symbols with sombreros, others with scuba diving gear, with sun hats or umbrellas. The game looks fine, but it would have to do much better than this to compete with some of the bigger names that have this theme.
Symbols: Gingerbread Man (1,000 coins, wild), Cocktail (bonus), Beach Balls (scatter), Candy with Mexican Hat (450 coins), Life Saver Candy (250 coins), Lady Candy (200 coins), Sunglasses Candy (150 coins), Scuba Diving Candy (100 coins), Ace (100 coins), King (75 coins) and Queen (75 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’m not a fan of the game’s theme and the way most of the symbols look, but I did enjoy its features when I could get them. The regular payouts are very low at only 1,000x, so all things considered I’d recommend you skip it.
You will find Sugar Rush Summer Time at any online casino which chooses to use software from Topgame, playable either for free or for real money.
