Candy Bonanza - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Try your luck with the candy capsule machine and see what sweets will drop in PG Soft's video slot Candy Bonanza. Look for clusters of 5 or more of the same sweet linked horizontally or vertically to win a prize. A winning cluster will disappear and the sweets above it will cascade into the empty spaces, opening up a chance for a second win. With each win the multiplier increases for bigger prizes. Larger clusters can convert into up to 3 wilds, which then contribute to further wins, and certain cluster configurations can double the win. Look out for the free spins scatterswhich can turn up at any time.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Everything about this slot is sweet and sugary from the multicoloured sweets to the up-beat disco music. The reels resemble a sweet filled candy machine and the spin button takes the shape of the rotating dispenser handle at the bottom. Symbols include orange, pink, green and blue striped candies in translucent wrappers as well as smaller fruit drops of the same four colours. In addition there's a colourful wild symbol, and the free spins symbol is wrapped up in a gold sweet wrapper. Below the reels there's the candy dispenser, where the increasing multiplier numbers appear as large gumballs. The winning animations add sparkle to this bright, colourful game.

Bonus Features

Multiplier

At the start of any base game spin, the multiplier is x1. After a win, and once the symbols have disappeared and more have cascaded down to take their place, the multiplier is increased to x2. The multiplier increases on each consecutive win and resets to x1 after a non-winning cascade.

Wilds

Wilds are generated when a winning cluster of 6 or more symbols lands. When the symbols disappear, a wild will appear in a random position in the empty space before the symbols above cascade down, and may contribute to subsequent wins in that round. A cluster of 6 generates 1 wild, a cluster of 7 will generate 2, and a cluster of 8 or more winning symbols will generate 3 wilds. 

Big Candy feature

If 4 matching symbols (excluding wild and free spins) form a square, they'll transform into a giant symbol. Any wins from a cluster of 5 or more that incorporate this symbol are doubled.

Free spins

Three or more free spins scatters will trigger the bonus round with a minimum of 10 free spins, with an extra 2 free spins added for each additional scatter. Any unused wilds generated during the free spins round will become sticky until they contribute to a winning cluster. The multiplier feature works in the same way as the base game except that it doesn't reset after a non-winning cascade. The free spins feature can be retriggered at any time.

Candy Bonanza Review

Candy Bonanza is a great looking slot that's primarily designed for mobile. The cascading action and the multiplier feature keep the game interesting. It's clear there's potential for some big wins in the free spins bonus, with the combination of sticky wilds and a progressive multiplier that keeps building throughout the bonus round. This may explain why we found it impossible to trigger on our test run. PG soft specialises in games designed for mobile, and you can find more with the cascade feature like Candy Burst from PG Soft. If you're looking for more traditional features our PG Soft free play slots page has a wide variety of games to choose from. Alternatively, try searching slots by free spins bonus.
