The humble cupcake has made a comeback in recent years. After decades languishing at children’s parties, these deserts now have their own fashionable shops in hip parts of town. Cupcakes are the theme of this light hearted and upbeat slot from Everi gaming.
Slot Machine Cakes Pictures
Most of your wins will come from lining up cakes on the reels, though there is also a unique ‘six pack’ area of the screen which can win you big bonuses or even a progressive jackpot. Cupcake Crazy also includes a second screen bonus game, where you’ll pick gifts to find cakes – all the while avoiding the cartons of milk.

How to Win on Cupcake Crazy
There are 40 win lines over a standard slot grid of 5 reels and 4 rows of symbols for this game. The standard part of the game play simply involves lining up the symbols from the left. These symbols are divided into cakes and playing card symbols. Cakes are the best paying, and are topped by the white ones with a red base and candy chips on top. There is also a delicious looking chocolate cake with a chocolate ball on it, one with a strawberry on top and another which looks like a lemon cake.
To complete the sweet effect of the theme, the playing card symbols are very bright and colorful – and are made to look like they might well be edible too. You will also find wild symbols in play. These simply say the word ‘wild’. They come either as single symbols or stacked 2 high, giving you the opportunity to create a lot of extra wins with them as they substitute for all of the regular symbols.
Filling the Sweet 6-Pack
In the center part of the reels you will see a bright pink border around 6 symbols – with the words ‘Sweet 6 Pack’ above it. This is a unique element of Cupcake Crazy, and if you fill all 6 of the spots with cakes you can win one of the progressive jackpots which are displayed in the top part of the cabinet. If you hit 6 mixed cakes, the you will win a bonus in credits instead. While 6 of the same cake gets you access to the different levels of progressive payouts.
Cake Stand Break Out Bonus Game
This is known as the ‘Sweet Treats Picking Bonus’ game and takes place on a separate screen after you hit 3 of the bonus symbols. The screen is divided into 2 parts. On the right you will see an empty cake display stand with 5 colored levels. Underneath this are the different cakes with prizes in coins underneath each one.
On the left is a 4 by 4 grid of gift boxes.
Your task is to pick from the gift boxes, revealing cakes to fill up the cake stand. As you collect more cakes, the multiplier for the win amounts of each cake increase. Starting at 2x on level 2 and hitting 30x for your last cake at the top of the stand. When you pick boxes you will get between 1 and 3 cakes (along with a game show type voice encouraging you). There are also small milk cartons in the boxes, and if you pick one of those you will hear a comedic mooing sound. The game continues until either you complete the cake stand, or you pick 3 cartons of milk. This is an entertaining game, which can result in some bigger wins – particularly if you reach the upper levels of the stand.

Design and Setup of Cupcake Crazy
I am sure it would come as no surprise to find out that this game is bright to the point of being over the top. The cakes are nicely drawn and hit the reels over a blue and green dotted background, there are also plenty of pinks and pastel colors spread around the game. You get a fast paced TV game show like tune playing while you spin – and lots of beeps and electronic noises for any wins. The voice-over is a little on the cheesy side for my taste, though it certainly adds some humor.
Animations are limited in the main game, and even in the break out bonus this is only really cakes moving from the boxes to the stand. There is a special effect where cakes in the 6-pack get surrounded by a box before your bonus is awarded too.
You can play this game for 40c and up over all the win lines, with 160 credits the top bet. The top payout is for the progressive jackpot – though you can also win some reasonably big prizes in the Sweet Treats bonus game.
Overall Experience
Overall this is a nicely put together slot which I am sure will appeal to players who prefer the lighter type themes. The sweet 6 pack is an original way of awarding the progressive jackpots (and other credit wins), and the game play is regularly broken up with the second screen bonus. For something light, bright and different to most live slot games – check out Cupcake Crazy for yourself soon!

Winning 90 Taxable Jackpots in 9 Months, then a Car
Jon Friedl became a successful slot machine gambler on next generation slot machines. He’s won 90 taxable jackpots within 9 months, then a luxury car, between November 2013 and August 2014.
Friedl will always remember the feeling of spinning a giant wheel. He watched the whisker click into gaps in the posts on the outer edge of the wheel. As the wheel slowed to a crawl, the whisker gently rode up onto the final post position. Or would it the final post?
The wheel slowly continued to move. Finally, the wheel came to a halt, with the whisker falling back into the car winning gap. Friedl had won a $65,000 car.
Learning to Win
The e-book Learning To Win provides slots players with real-life winning strategies and easy-to-use tools. It shows how to apply both to achieve individualized gambling goals successfully.
Most importantly, it shows how to avoid the most common financial pitfalls. Furthermore, carefully laid out are the expected financial results from casinos and their players’ clubs.
This 237-page e-book and softcover book also available on Amazon.com is about winning at slot machine gambling. Winning is subjective to the reader. Hence, concepts are designed to match a reader’s specific needs in terms of their gambling styles and goals.
Common goals are detailed to help the reader consciously match their approach to what is most essential for them:
- improved entertainment value
- an extended length of play
- greater profit
- a higher player club status
Higher status in player clubs allow gamblers to earn more expensive and varied complimentary gifts from casino operators, including
- going to the head of the line: every line, every time
- annual cruises
- promotional gifts: enough to fill a spare bedroom
- tickets to sporting events
- and whatever else you and your executive host can think of
Strategic approaches are described and applied to each gambling style.
So, the reader can win using their style. Or, progress to another style with which they have less personal experience. In either case, they can learn to achieve their most optimal performance for maximum gambling profits.
Assessing Casinos to Improve Gambling Performance
For example, Learning to Win explains how to go about accessing casino properties in terms of their performance. Easy-to-perform assessment techniques include both casino properties as well as slot machines.
The goal is to determine how well a specific casino operator has set up their property. In which of several ways have they actively provide slot machine gamblers with an opportunity to win? In other words, what’s the advantage play?
The reader should perform these simple assessments at all casinos near them. Doing so allows gamblers to determine the property which can them with the best chance to reach their financial and entertainment goals.
Winning on Older-Style Slot Machines
Friedl has won on older-style slot machines as well. These slots don’t, literally cannot use the latest innovative technologies. However, these types of slots are still available in many older casinos.
Friedl’s experience with them from early 2004 to late 2005, followed by a decade of thoughtful reflection. Here are a few of those jackpots:
In all, he won 13 taxable jackpots along with uncounted nontaxable jackpots each less than the taxable limit of $1,200. Friedl refined his winning strategies over a decade between these extraordinary slot machine gambling experiences.
Since 2014, Friedl has interviewed slot machine gamblers to understand their playing styles. Through this research, he learned what techniques helped or hindered their successes.
New Opportunities to Win
These next-generation gaming technologies, each a new opportunity for slot machine gamblers to win, include:
- centralized computing networks
- online gaming venues
- the use of mobile devices as gambling aids
The gaming industry first introduced these fundamental technological changes in 2013. They are steadily spreading throughout the U.S. Eventually, casinos operators will incorporate and build them into new casinos and as older casinos are renovated.
As a result, the relevancy and performance of Learning to Win is needed now by readers. Its ultimate usefulness can also only improve with time. In it, concepts are carefully explained clearly and in a highly readable manner.
The goal is to allow readers to make the most of these new next-generation gaming technologies.
Credibility
Friedl’s extensive educational background that led him to write the analytical aspects of Learning to Win include an engineering doctorate for critical thinking and experimental method-based skills combined with refined pattern recognition abilities
These hard-won skills provide the reader with useful knowledge and analytical tools for strategic winning in the casino environment.
Friedl also has a master’s degree in engineering management. This degree allows for the exploration of the business-related aspects of how casinos operate.
For example, how are casinos using these new gaming technologies to improve the daily running of their business? How might a casino operator’s less-than-perfect application of those new technologies become a financial advantage to the reader?
Friedl’s extensive teaching experiences allow him to clearly explain relatively complex topics. So, a deep understanding of these topics is explained entirely using an easy-to-understand approach.
Finally, anecdotal gambling “stories” provide a relatable human-interest theme throughout the book. These stories are based on his relatively remarkable personal gambling experiences.
Functionally, they help balance book content alongside the deliberately low amount of mathematical analysis provided.
