Sweet Life 2

Sweet Life 2 Slot Machine Review

Welcome to the life of your dreams! This is where you need to be to stand tall, proud and happy, because this is where you get to experience the very best that life has to offer! And no, we are not selling you a fantasy land – this is the world of our beloved Igrosoft Bear and his crazy antics in search of some sweet honey! If you choose to join him, there is much more in store for you, from rib-tickling humor to mind-blowing jackpots.

It would be easy to dismiss Sweet Life 2 as just another simple, old-school slot that tries to lure you into testing your luck for the day. But it only takes a few spins to change your mind. Shall we see how?

Life through a Sweet Lens

Igrosoft – for those of you who don’t know what this developer is all about – is a hugely popular slot designer and developer with a stronghold on gaming activity in Russia and Eastern Europe.

For many years, classic slots inspired by the Russian landscape of unforgiving measures, unique folklore and amazing traditions have been mainstays of Igrosoft’s slots repertoire. Sweet Life (we reviewed it here at Vegas Slots Online a while back) was perhaps the breakthrough slot for them in the UK market, and Sweet Life 2 tries to build on that legacy.

The idea is the same. You, the spinner, must help the main character of this sweet tale – a wild Siberian grizzly bear – find pots of sweet honey by spinning the reel. Your happiness lies in these pots, so make sure you get them all!

The visual appeal of Sweet Life 2 is much higher than its predecessor, as you might expect. But keep your hopes in check – this slot was developed over 9 years ago and the marks of that time are clearly visible.

The bottom line is that as long as you’re not expecting high-end CGI 3D animations and sound effects, you should be fine with Sweet Life 2.

Symbols that Sweeten the Deal

It may sound corny, but it had to be said – simply because Sweet Life 2 is literally all about sweetness. Regular symbols include a wasp’s nest, beekeeping kits, wild flowers and the most coveted of all – barrels of honey. Regular symbols pay up to 105,000 coins for five of a kind combinations.

Before you go crazy looking at those big numbers, we would like to remind you that the wagering limit here is significantly different from Sweet Life. 5 reels and 9 pay lines do not set off any alarms, but when you have to bet up to 100 coins per line, it is better to start cautiously.

The coins themselves are not very valuable (1 cent to 10 cents). This brings the total dollar value per spin, if you want to go all guns blazing and all reels spinning, to $90. Sounds better that way, doesn’t it?

Let’s Make it More Interesting!

So far, so good. But Sweet Life 2 goes out of its way to make this deal even sweeter for you with the characteristic bonus round that almost every Igrosoft slot seems to have. The wild symbol – the Siberian bear – isn’t particularly noteworthy, so we won’t spend much space on it.

But the scatter symbol – a beehive – comes to the rescue and brings with it a unique bonus round. Once you get three or more scatters on screen (it doesn’t matter which reel they appear on), you’ll be thrust into this stinging cauldron of multiple beehives. Choose wisely though, because somewhere in there is a hornet’s nest that you don’t want to touch.

While the payout criterion for this round isn’t too clear, we have enough reason to believe that it will result in a 3x multiplication of your base game winnings for that spin – sweet enough for us.

The icing on the cake comes in the form of a Super Bonus Round. This is automatically activated when you successfully complete the Bonus Round. The Super Bonus Round is a straightforward, old-fashioned duel of double or go home. Risk it all and double up, or take it home safe and sound – the choice is yours!

Sweet Treat

To be fair, the only way to enjoy Sweet Life 2 is to keep your expectations low and take it easy. This is a very simple slot that may not appeal to high-rollers or those who believe in maximizing their winnings. This also means that it is a great slot for those who just want to see what real money slots are all about.
