Candy Castle Slot Review

How to Play

Playing the Candy Castle slot game couldn’t be easier. Hit the spin button or activate between 10 and 1,000 auto-spins, and then you’re good to go. The game itself consists of 5 rows and 5 columns, giving you 20 paylines. As is the norm in most modern slots, the paylines all start from the leftmost reel and criss-cross towards the right. One thing that is not within the norm, though, is that it only requires 2 matching symbols on adjacent reels to get a winning combination. 

In terms of optional settings in the game, you can not only choose to auto-spin, but you may also deactivate the music and sound effects, change bet levels, and even change the language. 

As for the bets, you can bet as little as €0.20 per spin, or as much as €100, depending on the setting you opt for per line and the game’s coin value. To make it as intuitive as possible for players, all wins will be displayed in the currency you’re playing with at your casino. 

Symbols and Payouts

The absolute maximum win in this slot is 6,400x your bet. There are no less than 17 symbols in this game, which is far above what most video slots have to offer. You might think that lots of symbols mean fewer chances to get matching ones, but that’s actually not the case. No less than 6 of the symbols are special symbols, and that means bonus scatters and wilds.

In fact, there are 5 wild symbols that can replace any of the “normal” symbols. Three of them are only wilds, and these ones will stretch over 1, 2, or 3 rows in the game, depending on which of them you get. Then there are two special wilds. One of them will trigger the ‘Chocolate Rain’ bonus, and this is the bonus feature where the wild will replace an additional 3 to 6 symbols in the grid, turning them as well into wilds. The second special wild is the gift box. This one can only appear on reel 1, and in addition to being a wild, it will grant you a multiplier of either 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x. 

As for the normal symbols that can in fact give you a win, there are 9 different ones. As mentioned, you need only two matching ones on a payline to win, but you’ll of course win more with a bigger combination. The smallest win you can get is 0.1x your bet, while the biggest payline win you can trigger is 3x your bet. Then again, all the wilds will help you trigger more wins, while the game’s multipliers will secure bigger wins.

The candy cane is the symbol you don’t want to get, as this symbol is one that cannot trigger any wins at all. The mouth, which we’ll assume is some sort of candy version of a cookie monster, is a symbol triggering a small in-game bonus called ‘Snack Time.’ It will “eat” between 3 and 6 random symbols in the grid (never any of the special symbols) making them collapse, leaving room for a re-fall with new symbols coming down from the top of the reels.

Best Candy Castle Bonus Feature

With so many Candy Castle bonus features to choose from, it’s almost impossible to pick just one favorite. But, free spins are always at the top of our lists, and since this game has two versions of this bonus game, we’ll opt for this one as our preferred one.

The symbols that can trigger the Candy Castle free spins are the ones simply called ‘Bonus.’ These symbols are scatters, meaning they do not have to land on any payline to trigger free spins. If you get 4 of them you get the “normal” free spins which are called ‘Golden Candy.’ If you land 5 bonus symbols, you’ll instead activate the ‘Golden Candy Mega’ game. 

No matter which version you trigger, you’ll get 10 free spins. What you want during these spins is the golden candy, as these will be collected. Every time you fill the box with 3 candies you’ll get an additional 1x multiplier, as well as 3 extra spins. The best part of this is that there is absolutely no cap on the multipliers, so if you’re really lucky you can win some truly gigantic wins. 

This is especially easy in the ‘Golden Candy Mega’ version. What differentiates this free spins bonus from the other one is that the bonus starts with a 10x multiplier, giving you big wins even before you’ve collected any candy.

RTP & Volatility

To conclude this GoodLuckMate Candy Castle slot review, we also looked into the theoretical winning chances you’ll have. We found that the Candy Castle RTP is set at 94.88%, making it quite standard within the casino slot sphere. As for the volatility, this is set at medium to high, which should make it appealing to most players. You might not win all too often, but when you do, you can win big – if you're lucky. There is no Candy Castle jackpot to speak of but a max win of 6,400x your bet should, after all, be sufficient even for those hunting the big wins at casinos.
