This new release from leading software studio Play’n GO is heavily influenced by the smash-hit British TV show The Great British Bake Off. This extremely popular show revolves around a group of aspiring bakers who whip up delicious cakes and treats in the hope of impressing the judges and winning the coveted title of best British baker of the year. So if you know your soggy bottom from a swiss-roll then this slot should be right up your alley!

Baker's Treat has 5 reels with 15 paylines and includes Free Spins, Wild Reels, Extra Wilds, and Expanding Wilds.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that the game features a pays both ways system. This basically means that it pays out not only for wins formed from left to right but also from right to left which should really increase your chances of landing a big win on the reels.

The Wild symbol is represented by delicious frosted cake. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels. The Wild symbol is also the highest paying symbol in the game as if you land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you’ll be baking up a storm with a payout worth 40X your initial bet!

As you play the game, you will notice a cake meter above each reel. Every time you land full stacks of a specific cake symbol then you will fill the reel one time. Once you have filled the meter 3 times then you will trigger the Flour Power Spin feature and activate one of the following features based on the cake symbol used to initiate it:

  • Blueberry Pie: 3 Free Spins with 1 fully Wild Reel
  • Carrot Cake: 3 Free Spins with all Carrot Cake symbols upgraded to Wilds
  • Green Cupcake: 3 Free Spins with 2 reels displaying matching symbols
  • Lemon Cheesecake: 3 Free Spins with all Wilds expanding to fill their reels
  • Strawberry Sponge: 3 Free Spins with all Macaroons transforming into 1 type of macaroon

If you manage to land all 5 cake symbols at the same time on one spin then you will trigger the Bake Off feature. In this fun bonus feature, you will be awarded 5 Bake Off Spins with each one a Flour Power spin as highlighted above. So the first spin will have matching reels, the second spin will have a fully wild reel, and so on. If you happen to land any full stacks of cake symbols to trigger the Bake Off feature then you will be awarded an extra Bake Off Spin and it’s actually possible to land up to 10 Bake Off Spins in total.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are bright and colourful as the game is set inside a well-maintained garden with flowers, white picket fences, and symbols appear on a table with a nicely designed red and beige tablecloth. Symbols are intricately detailed and consist of a Strawberry Sponge, Lemon Cheesecake, Blueberry Pie, Carrot Cake, a Green Cupcake, as well as an assortment of different coloured macaroons. They look so realistic that they look good enough to eat! The animations are excellent as symbols move up and down the table quickly and pop with a nice glowing effect when part of a winning combination.

The music is charming and light-hearted with lots of soft melodic piano sounds. It ties in wonderfully with the baking theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 15 paylines, a very respectable RTP of 96.04%, and a huge maximum payout worth 5,000X your initial bet.

Our Verdict on Baker's Treat

Play’n GO made this delightful game and if you love baking and more importantly cakes then this slot was made with you in mind! The game features stunning visuals, is very easy to play, and has a nice range of bonus features to keep you spinning those reels again and again. It’s quite fun filling up each cake meter I must admit and this provides excellent replay value. The most lucrative feature by far is the Bake Off feature, it can be quite hard to trigger to be honest but it is definitely worth the wait as it gives you the chance to land lots of Bake Off Spins with each one having a lucrative Flour Power feature attached. It’s also worth mentioning that players have the opportunity to win a mammoth 5,000X on every spin! I found this slot to be of High variance, so be warned that you will have to endure quite a few dry spins before you finally see a profitable return on the reels.
