Candy Spins

This MetaGu game is actually released under Leander Games, which is not all that surprising at this day and age where smaller studios produce games for bigger ones. The slot itself is sweet, literally. Everything about the game, and I can tell you this with just one look, is about candy, sweets, and sugarcoated wins. Suffice to say, this game isn’t for everyone. Those looking for a whole new theme might be positively surprised though.

Theme

The colours are bright and the graphics are sickly sweet. Like I said, this is not a slot for everyone, or at least for me. That’s not to say it’s not well done, that the animations would not run smoothly, or the graphics haven’t received enough attention. It’s all there, even the music works great. The theme is just too sugary, which I guess means that it is too well done. If you can get over that give the game a spin.

Betting Options and Functions

From one hundred coins per spin, all the way to 0.20 coins per spin this game gives plenty of betting opportunities. The twenty paylines that move through the five reels are all fixed, with winning combinations counted from left to right. The game offers the usual autoplay options as well as the choice to mute music if you so desire.

The prizes are from the high end, and this is not counting in the special features. The top prize is a thousand times the line bet, with the top four symbols all paying at least two hundred times the line bet. The minimum prize from a three-symbol combination is five times the line bet. The volatility is naturally high, though at least in my playthrough there was quite a nice amount of decent wins.

Features

In addition to your normal wilds, you have the super wilds which will fill the whole reel with wilds. The scatter, like always, shows up to start the free spins. Three, four, or five scatters gives you seven, ten or fifteen free spins. During the free spins, all sticky wilds that show up on the screen will remain until the end of the feature.

The girl that shows up on the left side of the reels will occasionally throw candy bombs on the reels, meaning that the feature is completely random. The bombs transform the symbols that get hit into winning ones. Likewise, Candy Girl activates the super wilds at random intervals. Lollipop bonus comes through bonus symbols, which you’ll need three. This activates a pick a prize game with some sizeable wins.

Our Take

Each to his own. The theme might not fit all tastes, but those who don’t mind it will find a great game underneath all the coating. Great animations, good music, excellent graphics, and above all big wins await those who want to give this game a try.
