Candy Trouble Slot Review

Two tablespoons of cinnamon
And two or three egg whites
A half a stick of butter
Melt it
Stick it all in a bowl, baby
Stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a cup of flour
You’ll be in heaven soon

If you’re unfamiliar with South Park, then the recipe for Chef’s famous chocolate salty balls – which are also the lyrics of one of the show's most memorable songs – probably confused you. 🍫🧂🎱🎱

But do you know how successful Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You) became? This smooth R&B homage to Barry White was written by the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and it went on to hit number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1998!

Who said that the Brits only like bland food? 🎶🎼

This is Candy Trouble slot from GameArt. 🧑🏿‍🍳

Gameplay

GameArt has created – surprise, surprise – a land of sweets, but it’s nowhere near as impressive as, say, Candy Dreams slot or as eye-punchingly fresh as Pile ’Em Up Frosty Sweets slot.

The 6-reel, 5-row grid works on a Cluster Pays system, meaning wins are achieved if you land 8 or more matching symbols anywhere.

These winning symbols then get removed, and new ones drop down to take their place – an action that continues until no more wins occur and is called a Cascade.

For all its sweet and lighthearted exterior, Candy Trouble slot ain’t messing around. There’s a $320,000 payout waiting to be unleashed, along with a 20,000x multiplier. Damn!

It won’t come as a surprise to know that the volatility rate is very high. Oh, and the RTP is 96.55%. Another plus is that mobile play is definitely on the cards and you’ll find the experience engaging in either orientation.

There are a bunch of special symbols and modifiers that you’ll come across when you play Candy Trouble slot so let’s get to grips with these:

Candy Bomb: These look like chocolate balls (oh yeah!) with sprinkles on em, and they can land on reels 2 to 5. They carry random multiplier values of 1x to 500x. Three of these symbols will launch the Candy Bomb feature, while 4 will trigger Free Spins

Candy Roll: This swirly symbol awards a multiplier value to all Candy Bombs whenever it lands

Gummy Bear: Collects the values of the Candy Bombs

Bubble Gum: Unlocks reel 1 or 6. If a Bubble Gum symbol explodes, it will transform into a Candy Bomb with a multiplier value

Swirl Lollipop: Multiplies the values of 2 to 5 Candy Bombs by a factor of 2x to 5x

You can also get persistent versions of these symbols, meaning they’ll do what I’ve just described but on every spin.

Features

CANDY BOMBS:

This feature triggers when you land 3 Candy Bomb symbols on the grid. Candy Bombs carry multiplier values so what happens next is that the multipliers are added up and then applied to all current wins.

As I mentioned, wins take the form of Cascades so these will happen until no more wins are present. If you land an additional Candy Bomb during the Cascade, you’ll trigger the Free Spins round.

RE-SPINS:

If you land 3 Candy Bombs but there are no wins for that spin, you’ll be granted a Re-spin after the multiplier values have been collected. When this feature starts, all of the Candy Bombs will be removed and re-spins keep happening until a win is achieved.

FREE SPINS:

So, if you’ve done the math you’ll have realized that you’ll need 4 Candy Bomb symbols to trigger the Free Spins round. Interestingly, they will be the only symbols remaining on the grid and become sticky while the other positions spin.

Reels 1 and 6 will be locked, meaning no symbols on these reels can form part of a winning combo until you unlock them. How do you do that? By landing a Bubble Gum symbol anywhere on the grid.

You’ll get 3 spins at the start of the round and the spin counter will reset whenever you land additional Candy Bombs or Modifier symbols.

The round ends when you run out of spins or fill every position with symbols. Either way, all of the Candy Bomb and Modifier values will be added up and applied to your bet.

BUY BONUS:

Not keen on waiting for the Free Spins round to trigger? No problem; pay 100x your bet and you’ll go straight to the good stuff.

Performance

I experienced no glitches, loading issues, or any other gremlin in the works while testing Candy Trouble slot.

Maximum Win

Rejoice! You’ll only need to bet $16 a pop to be in line to win the astonishing $320,000 payout this game offers. And that’s all thanks to the generous 20,000x max multiplier.

Conclusion

So GameArt has confused things – there isn’t a Free Spin round in Candy Trouble slot; it’s a Link & Win. Think about it: 3 re-spins, symbols sticking to the reels, only special symbols on those reels, and the aim being to fill all of the positions on the reels… it’s pretty clear to me.

Not that it matters to me; I like me a Link & Win game, so I’m fine with it.

There’s enough going on here – with the special symbols and modifiers, Re-spins, Cascades, and the main feature – to keep boredom at bay. And also there’s the much-appreciated Buy Bonus if things get too same-same.

The main feature is where you wanna be, and you can notch up some impressive multipliers, especially if you manage to unlock reels 1 and 6. The addition of the modifiers adds to the excitement and moolah-making potential.

Add to this the superb stats and mobile experience and you’ve got a game that delivers in spades.
