Sweet Alchemy 100: Slot Overview

Candy and witches aren’t a pairing you come across very often outside the Hansel and Gretel story. One is all sugary sweetness, the other leans into dark, witchy vibes. That isn’t the case in Sweet Alchemy 100 from Swedish provider Play’n GO. Here, the three witch characters are the helpful, good-natured type—think Minerva McGonagall or Cassie Nightingale—and each of them brings a distinct modifying power that can affect the game grid. If this feels vaguely familiar, it’s because Sweet Alchemy 100 is a reskin of Moon Princess 100, using a visual layer styled like Sweet Alchemy, which hints this could be the beginning of a ‘100’ line of slots.

In Sweet Alchemy, Candy took centre stage, while Sweet Alchemy 100 introduces her three sisters – Cherry, Berry, and Apple. One sister floats beside the grid, and when the Witch Power feature activates, the witch currently shown unleashes her specific modifier. The reels and interface will look very familiar to anyone who has played Moon Princess 100, set against drifting clouds in the sky, with the exact colour palette changing depending on which witch is active. Sweet Alchemy 100 isn’t as overtly anime-influenced as Moon Princess 100, though you can still spot a touch of that style.

Below the main play area, players can use the left and right buttons to choose a stake of 20 p/c to $/€100 per round. A total of twenty-five symbols fall into the 5×5 grid, and the goal is to land 3 or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Wins may begin from any position on the grid. Play’n GO rates the volatility at 8 out of 10, and Sweet Alchemy 100 is available in five RTP setups, with 96.2% as the standard setting.

The lower-paying symbols in Sweet Alchemy 100 are candy shapes – a round sweet, a crescent moon sweet, a diamond sweet, and a heart sweet; while Apple, Berry, and Cherry represent the higher-paying symbols. A run of 5 candy symbols pays 2-3 times the bet, any mix of 5 witches returns 5x the bet, and a clean 5-of-a-kind witch win awards 10 times the bet. Also note that a single symbol can contribute to more than one win simultaneously.

Sweet Alchemy 100: Slot Features

When a winning cluster appears, Moon Princess and its many variants—including Sweet Alchemy 100—can set off one of the most hypnotic win flows in online slots. First, when a win hits, the relevant symbols are removed from the grid. They aren’t replaced by fresh symbols, but a wild symbol is placed in the middle empty space of a 3-symbol win. On top of that, a win multiplier is increased by each new drop, and it resets between paid spins. Wild symbols substitute for any paying symbol and pay 50x the bet for a line of 5. Wilds are cleared from the grid if they are the only symbol type currently visible. When the grid is cleared (except in the Trinity feature), players receive 50x the total bet. This reward is influenced by the win multiplier.

Witch Power

Witch Power modifiers can activate randomly on non-winning base game spins. When it triggers, the witch on screen uses her ability:

• Cherry – changes one group of symbols into a different symbol.
• Berry – places 1 or 2 wild symbols onto the grid.
• Apple – clears 2 groups of symbols from the grid.

The game begins with a random witch, and after one witch activates, the next takes over in this sequence; Cherry – Berry – Apple.

Trinity

Witch symbol wins charge up a 3-segment meter shown on the screen. A 3-symbol win fills 1 segment, a 4-symbol win fills 2 segments, and a 5-symbol win fills all 3 segments. Once the meter is full, Trinity is triggered, and the multiplier resets. Trinity grants 1 free spin in which all 3 witches perform their Witch Powers, with Cherry first, then Berry, then Apple. If the grid is cleared during Trinity, free spins are triggered.

Free Spins

To start free spins, players pick which Witch Power they want – Cherry gives 4 free spins, Berry gives 5 free spins, and Apple gives 8 free spins. During the feature, the selected power activates on every non-winning spin. Another key perk is that the win multiplier carries over from the Trinity feature and does not reset, with a maximum value of x100. Filling the power meter also awards extra spins – Cherry gives +4 free spins, Berry gives +4 free spins, and Apple gives +2 free spins. The maximum number of free spins is 100.

Sweet Alchemy 100: Slot Verdict

Play’n GO’s recycling engine feels like it was running at full throttle here. Sweet Alchemy 100 brings to mind Frankenstein’s monster—not because it turns monstrous after being rejected, but because it feels assembled from lots of familiar parts pulled from around the workshop. Where do you even start? As mentioned earlier, the concept is essentially Moon Princess 100’s framework wrapped in Sweet Alchemy visuals. If that mix sounds like your kind of thing, Sweet Alchemy 100 should deliver plenty of entertainment.

If you still haven’t tried Moon Princess 100, the quick version is that it’s Moon Princess turned up to eleven. The same description fits Sweet Alchemy 100. The max win has climbed to 15,000x the bet, and reaching free spins now requires an extra step. Clearing the base game grid alone is no longer enough to force your way into the bonus. Instead, you must fill the power meter and then clear the grid on a Trinity spin. The game helps by having all three witches apply their modifiers to the grid. Once activated, players can win up to 100 free spins with a win multiplier reaching x100, which explains the ‘100’ in the name.

Moon Princess was a huge success for Play’n GO and remains one of its signature titles. It’s interesting how difficult it is (at the time of writing) to name many similarly iconic recent releases from the studio. Play’n GO still produces quality games at an impressive pace, yet it also seems increasingly committed to reusing older concepts. They’re not bad ideas at all, but the steady stream of reskins and reworks feels slightly odd for a developer with this kind of reputation. In any case, Sweet Alchemy 100 is a solid entry, delivering exactly what you’d expect from a slot that layers Sweet Alchemy styling over a Moon Princess 100 core.
