Every October I buy a giant bag of candy “for the trick-or-treaters.” Every October, the bag is empty by the 26th and I’m hiding wrappers in the recycling like it’s evidence. Nobody ever comes to my door anyway. I live on the third floor and the buzzer has been broken since 2023.
So when the Tempting Treats slot showed up, I felt seen. Personally attacked, but seen. A witch who runs a sweet shop and doesn’t share? That’s just me with better hair and a cape.
Grab a toffee. Actually, grab two, it’s almost Halloween and I’m not your mom. Let me show you around her shop.
Welcome to the Sweet Shop
AvatarUX built this one on a 7×7 grid squeezed between two crumbly purple stone pillars, with a couple of jack-o’-lanterns on top. Wins come from clusters of 5 or more matching symbols touching each other, and winners explode so new symbols can drop in.
The candy is the cheap stuff. Wrapped toffees, swirly lollipops, green mints and, for some reason, a little blue spider. Don’t ask about the spider.
Witchier stuff pays better. Spell books and red lanterns pay the most, followed by skull potions and pointy purple hats. Gotta have the hat.
Numbers-wise, it has an RTP of 96.16%, very high volatility, and a max win of $300,000.
A Witch With Wandering Feet
Now, the symbols are only half of it. Every square on the grid starts with a 1x multiplier stamped on it. Each time a winning symbol pops on that square, its multiplier goes up by 1x, and it keeps climbing all the way to 500x.
Then there’s the witch herself. She’s the Wild, subbing in for everything except the Bonus symbol, and she doesn’t sit still. After every cluster explodes, she wanders off to a random new square and takes her square’s multiplier with her, adding it on to wherever she lands. She’s weirdly generous for someone who won’t share her candy, because the square she left keeps its value too.
Up to 3 Wilds can hang around at once. And she gets even clingier in the bonus round.
Free Spins That Won’t Leave
So the jack-o’-lantern is the Bonus symbol, and landing 3 of them gets you 6, 8 or 10 Free Spins. Which number you get is random.
The best part? That whole multiplier board you’ve been building in the base game comes with you. So do any Wilds already on the grid, and this time they don’t leave. They stick around for the whole round, still wandering and still dragging multipliers with them.
Oh, and each Bonus symbol that lands during Free Spins hands you 1 extra spin.
If you don’t feel like waiting, there’s the Xpress menu. The Ante Bet costs 2x your bet, guarantees at least 1 Wild on the grid and doubles your shot at Free Spins. Or you can buy straight in, 80x your bet for 6 Free Spins, or 240x for 10 Free Spins with a better chance of a Wild on the first one.
Last Call at the Candy Counter
Right, that’s the shop tour done. You’ve got a witch who wanders, a grid that gets hotter every time something pops, and Free Spins where the Wilds refuse to leave. That’s more effort than I put into Halloween every year. I bought a cape in 2021 and I still haven’t taken the tags off.
The Tempting Treats slot is live at BitStarz Casino right now, and you can try the demo first if you want a poke around. Pop in, grab a handful, and see how hot you can get that grid.
