Candy Gold Review

Swintt are certainly still one of the most exciting fresh faces on the market, and we simply love examining their new releases. They simply don’t have any bad apples in their arsenal, so it’s always worth it. With Candy Gold, we’re getting a large Cluster-based game that has 7 reels and 7 rows, with payouts handed out for sets of 5 or more matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically.

Thematically, Candy Gold is all about juicy sweets, and there are plenty of candies and bonbons on offer here. The production values are awesome, and the background has a candy world of sorts. It’s also fully animated, and the entire package comes with an energetic soundtrack that only adds to the slot’s atmosphere.

The mathematical model of Candy Gold has a high volatility level, but the 7,000x makes that rather fitting. The betting range seems to be geared primarily towards low rollers, with the min bet standing at £0.20. You can’t go any higher than £20 per spin, but it’s hard to complain about such a limit.

In any case, we unfortunately have to say that the RTP of Candy Gold is only 94.48%, which is pretty bad to say the least. Fortunately, you can take the RTP higher by using one of the slot’s features.

Candy Gold Slot Features

There are 7 pay symbols in Candy Gold, and they all look like candies of different shapes, sizes, and colors. That makes for a very coherent experience, and there are no bland symbols in sight. For low pays, there are less complex candies, four of them in total, and they pay up to 7.5x your stake for a cluster of 15 or more. The high pays are much better, as the top-paying green-and-red whirling candies can net you up to 100x your stake for a winning combination!

There’s only one special symbol in Candy Gold, the Character Wild symbol.

This symbol is sticky, so it stays on the board until the given spin ends, and it can also trigger the Free Spins feature.

Since Candy Gold is a Cluster-based slot, it won’t surprise you to learn that it also comes with Cascades. In other words, winning symbols are automatically removed and replaced with new ones, which means that you can chain wins together.

If you land 3 or more Character Wilds in a spin, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins in total. During free spins, there’s a global win multiplier that starts at 2x and that can go to up to 8x. To increase it by +1x, simply get a winning combination!

Aside from that, there’s also the Candy Booster feature. There’s a certain meter placed to the left of the playing field, and it automatically fills as you play. Once you fill it, you’ll receive one of 6 different modifiers, each of which will net you a special effect.

The Candy Gold modifier turns a random symbol into a Character Wild symbol, while the Super Candy Gold modifier does the same to a cluster of 4 symbols. The Mega Candy Gold modifier will then net you a 9x9 Character Wild for what’s basically a guaranteed win. The Candy Bomb modifier explodes a cluster of 9 symbols and turns it into matching high pays, while the Candy Rocket modifier will send a rocket through the playing field, which leaves plenty of matching symbols behind.

Finally, the Ultra Bomb modifier turns an entire reel into matching high pays.

Players can also take advantage of the Buy Booster option and purchase modifiers outright. Different purchases come with different theoretical RTPs, though, so we recommend that you check the specifics beforehand.

Review Summary

All in all, Candy Gold is a fascinating game with one big flaw in its disappointing theoretical RTP. While we absolutely have to praise its audiovisuals and gameplay, we aren’t quite sure why Swintt decided to spoil things by throwing in this particular mathematical model. With a better one, we would be looking at a truly excellent online slot. With what’s on offer, though, it’s “only” a flawed gem.
