Chocolates

If you love a sweet treat, then why not open the box of deliciousness that is Chocolates, the online slot from Big Time Gaming. Following on from the equally yummy Donuts, this new game will satisfy your appetite for more scrumptious play. What could be better than reels filled to the brim with chocolates? Maybe a top payout of x65,536 could make it even more inviting…?

Big Time Gaming has woven a background story that's as beautiful as the setting for this slot. Jose Cavadore is the protagonist who has left his native Mexico to travel to a tiny town on the border of Germany and Switzerland. Feeling a bit down in the dumps, he decides to cheer himself up by making some artisan chocolates - and after all, why not?! Your role in this setup is to help Jose succeed, making him a master chocolatier in the stunning Swiss Alpine setting. 

This is a quirky slot, and this is reflected in the setup of the board, which is made up of four rows and four reels. This makes the reels smaller than you might be used to but never fear; there's still plenty of action! The stakes are relatively modest, ranging from the min bet of 0.10 up to a max bet of 20.00 per spin. This might not sound too appealing for high rollers, but when you factor in the giant top payout of x65,536 and the very high volatility, there's more on offer than it may first seem. 

You’ll be left in no doubt that you’re firmly in the Swiss countryside as the game is full of Alpine sights and sounds. The backdrop gives you a glimpse of the famous snowy peaks, set against a cold, crisp blue sky. Green Alpine meadows and wildflowers complete the scenery while the reels themselves resemble the workings of a cuckoo clock. And with the overall shape looking like a traditional Swiss chalet, there’s not a box that isn’t ticked.  

The paytable is filled to the top with every delight you can think of to really get your taste buds tingling. The low pays are the royals, but a range of mouth-watering wrapped sweets complements these. Match four of the low pays or a trio of the premium symbols to qualify for a win.  

There are two wilds on the grid which could help you out. The first is the standard wild, which substitutes for any of the regular symbols. The Golden Ticket Wild also does this but adds a further x6 multiplier to any payout. 

To win the big prizes, you'll need to be on the lookout for boxes on the reels. Unwrap one of these, and you'll be treated to up to four chocolates on a single reel position. This means the basic number of paylines can increase from 256 up to a maximum of 2401, assuming every tile contains four chocolate symbols. These boxes are primarily responsible for the volatility, providing the possibility of multiple wins on a single turn.  

There are also scatters which unlock the free spins round if you land three or more. In between 7-10 free spins depending on the number of scatters but this will not be extended as the feature cannot be retriggered.  

The boxes appear during free spins, too but have the added advantage of being sticky. If you land four or more sticky boxes on a single reel, you'll get an extra three free spins.  

The sticky boxes increase the possibility of getting more boxes in a single turn, edging you closer to the elusive top prize of x65,536!

Chocolates from Big Time Gaming may look simple, but appearances can be deceiving! The chocolate box feature has the potential to be very lucrative, and if Lady Luck is smiling on you, it's possible to rack up large prizes very quickly. With no huge bonuses and a smaller stake, it's easy for this slot to be overlooked. However, with a very high volatility and the ability to reach a top payout of x65,536, this is a slot that will appeal to all.
