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

Introduction

If you have ever played any of the Candy Crush Saga games, this slot is going to look familiar. Enter a sweet-like-candy world of lollipop trees and sweet stones; a world where scatters can reward you with delicious free spins and multipliers, and wilds can deliver some tasty treats.

Candy Smash Theme and Storyline

The reels and background of this slot looks like they have come straight out of one of the Candy Crush Saga games, and even the title bears a similar swirling sweet logo. Dripping cakes and lollipop trees form the backdrop to the spinning action, whilst the reels are filled with sweet treats, along with the obligatory playing card symbols.

The soundtrack is just as sweet as the design of the game, but even more sickly, in our opinion. It’s not a coincidence that the first settings button we looked for was the one to turn the electro-tunes off.

Candy Smash RTP and Variance

This slot has an RTP of 95.34 per cent. This is slightly lower than some other Maverick Gaming free slots but is not so low that you need to be concerned. We’re not sure what the volatility of this slot is supposed to be, however, so it might be a good idea to try it in demo mode first before risking any of your hard-earned cash.

How to Play Candy Smash

Treat yourself to insider information with some top tips for playing the Candy Smash game:

1. One of the first controls you’ll want to find is the speaker symbol, which switches the music off. This is important as this electronic soundtrack is so ‘sweet’ that it makes your teeth hurt - not to mention your ears!
2. Use the plus and minus tabs to choose your stake. Choices start at 0.20 split across the 20 fixed paylines. The maximum bet is 40.00 per spin.
3. Wins are based on your bet per line multiplied by the amount displayed in the paytable.

Candy Smash Bonus Features

The main bonus in the slot is the free spins feature triggered by the candy scatters. Land three of these symbols anywhere on the reels, and you will receive ten free spins. Land four for 15 free spins and five for 20. You can retrigger this free spins bonus as you play this choice of Maverick Gaming free slots. To start with, you will get a 2x multiplier in the free spins, but this will increase by 1x every time you retrigger the bonus up to a maximum multiplier of 5x.

Candy Smash also has wild symbols. There is a Captain Smash-O-Wild standard wild symbol. This sweet captain will replace other symbols except for the scatter icon to help you to make winning combinations.

There is also a Sugar Rush Bonus Wild, which is a special wild symbol in the game. This icon features Golden Smash-A-Lot, who can award you with random multipliers to boost your wins. 

The Sugar Rush Bonus Wild will trigger the slot’s Random Multiplier Feature and will only appear on reels two and three. This special symbol can appear during the bonus free spins as well as in the main game. During the Random Multiplier Feature, three out of five will appear. The choices are Tasty, Frenzy, Sweet, Grandeur, and Chewy. You will choose one out of a choice of three and get the random multiplier attached to the sweet.

If that's not enough wild action, Candy Smash also has a Smashing Wild expanding symbol. In this bonus, Golden Smash-A-Lot will smash his way through either the second or fourth reels - or maybe both - to help give your winning chances a boost. The Smashing Wilds cover whole reels but will only appear on reels two or four. These smashing symbols won’t appear during the free spins bonus.
