Candy Corner Slot Review

The Candy Corner Slot Game

While I haven’t confirmed, I think someone at Pragmatic Play is suffering from a severe candy addiction.

Otherwise, without implicating the culprit, how else would the proactive developer explain its love for sweet-themed slots, such as Sweet Bonanza, Candy Blitz, Sweet Kingdom, and many others? Nevertheless, I bet most gambling enthusiasts are fond of the candy games for their simplicity.

The face of Candy Corner is nothing special, as it’s typical of other candy-inspired games. As usual, the game takes place in a dreamy world with a house made of candy standing in the distance. Everything looks colorful, and the festive soundtrack helps conjure up a vibrant gaming atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the centralised reels follow a 5-6-6-6-6-6-5 interface and run on a cluster-pays engine. Now that you’re in the know let’s decode the symbols.

Symbols and Payouts

Picture what you’d see if you walked into a candy store. Of course, a bunch of confectionery! Transfer some of it from your imagination onto this slot’s reels, completing the paytable!

The online slot only adopts eight regular winning symbols. Use them to form clusters when at least 6 of the same appear in touching positions horizontally or vertically. Then, confirm the winning cluster payout from the paytable and multiply it by the selected bet!

The low-win symbols in Candy Corner are the Banana and Berry worth 0.2-10x, and the Watermelon and Kiwi Fruits worth 0.3-15x the bet. On the other hand, the premium symbols include colored candies:

• Green Candy - 0.5x to 40x the bet.
• Blue Candy - 0.6x to 60x the stake.
• Orange Glazed Doughnut - 0.8x to 100x the bet.
• Red Candy - 1x to 200x the stake.

The ‘W’ wild appears on all reels and substitutes for all symbols, barring the scatter (Candy Wrap). Also, keep an eye out for the modifier corners, as they can receive special modifier symbols.

Candy Corner Slot Bonus Features

The tumble feature happens after every win, ejecting every paying symbol from the reels except the scatter. The remaining symbols drop to the screen’s bottom, and new symbols from above replace the empty positions, potentially triggering new tumbles. More Candy Corner features include modifier corners, free spins, and a bonus buy!

Modifier Corners

The four corners of the grid have unique empty positions where random modifier symbols can randomly hit. Only one modifier of a kind can land on the same base game spin, and they include:

• Direct Money Award - hits with a random value between 2x and 50x the bet, which is awarded immediately.
• Win Multiplier - has random multipliers from 2x to 200x applied to all symbol wins on that spin. Multiple subsequent multipliers are added.
• Add Wilds - randomly add 2-8 wilds on random reel positions when after appearing.
• Big Wild - randomly adds 2x2 to 5x5 expanded wilds on random on-screen positions when it hits.

Free Spins

Manage 3 to 7 scatters to activate 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively. The triggered free spins can be normal or Golden. Up to four identical modifiers can land simultaneously during the free spins, except the Big Wild—only two of its kind can hit on the same spin.

At least two modifiers will land simultaneously in random corners per spin during the normal mode. However, if you trigger the Golden, the game will randomly select a modifier which appears on a random corner per free spin during the subsequent round as a 3rd guaranteed modifier.

Further, the Extra Free Spins modifier can appear during the free spins, awarding a random number of 2-5 rounds displayed on it. If the game picks this Candy Corner modifier at the beginning of the bonus game, you get +10 more free spins. Also, only two random modifiers will land per free spin for the subsequent round.

Bonus Buy

Finally, this feature lets you enter the free spins prematurely in two ways. First, pay 100x the bet to trigger the free spins with 3-7 random scatters or second, pay 250x the stake for the Golden free spins with 3-7 random scatter symbols.

How to Win at Candy Corner Slot

Although this online slot appears as if it has a 7x7 interface, you can only win on the 5x6x6x6x6x6x5 grid positions.

Also, it’s worth noting the bets here, which range between €0.20 and €240 per spin. Spin the Candy Corner reels manually or automatically after you’re satisfied with the selected bet.  

Since it uses cluster wins, a win happens when you land a block of at least six symbols connected vertically or horizontally. Afterwards, a tumble feature happens, as explained above, and a spin could award up to 10,000 times your bet!

The Turbo/Quick Spin choices are ideal for players who want the thrill of faster spins.

Candy Corner Slot RTP & Volatility

The theoretical RTP can reduce insignificantly from 96.50% to 96.49% when using the buy feature. Meanwhile, its high volatility matches a significant 10,000x the bet win cap!        

The Final Thoughts

Pragmatic Play better be careful, or else they’ll transmit their candy addiction to gambling enthusiasts, including savoury-toothed individuals. Furthermore, the game developer should be wary of adopting a similar theme over and over. Otherwise, it may end up birthing another Big Bass experience, albeit with different titles.

The glossy and colourful visuals were more than impressive, while the cheerful sounds made it more appealing. But since Candy Corner utilises a similar experience as most other sweet-inspired slots, it may only impress you if you haven’t experienced any other similar slot.

However, unlike games like Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Sugar Rush, it takes the cluster-pays direction. Furthermore, it had a fair share of modifiers, which made experiencing it more fun. In my honest opinion, it was unique, which gave it an edge against its competitors. But it wouldn’t impress any player already sick of chewing on candy.
