Star Candy

Star Candy Review

This studio can truly surprise us from time to time, and we’re happy to tell you that Star Candy is certainly an online slot worth checking out. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at all its ins and outs, starting with its playing field that offers a set of 5 reels, 4 rows and 50 betlines.

As its title suggests, Star Candy is a game full of sweets, and we are actually rather impressed by how it looks. Sweet slots are typically of a high standard as far as their production values are concerned, but Star Candy goes above what’s usually on offer, and we have nothing but praise for its designers!

As far as the math model of Star Candy is concerned, we can tell you that it has a high volatility level that goes hand in hand with its low hit frequency of just 8.10%. The base game jackpot is 840x your bet, but you can get even above that thanks to the multipliers that are on offer during free spins. The least that you can play for is then £0.50, while the slot’s max bet is £20 per spin. Finally, it’s also worth pointing out that Star Candy comes with RTP ranges, and that the values on offer are roughly 88%, 90%, 92%, 94%, and 95%.

Star Candy Slot Features

The paytable of Star Candy has a total of 10 pay symbols, which are divided into 4 low pays, 4 mid pays and 2 high pays. For low pays, there are small chocolate treats that pay up to 1.6x your bet for a combo. For mid pays, there are bigger treats and cakes, which pay up to 4.8x your stake for a full set. Finally, the high-paying symbols show big chocolate cakes and banana splits, with both symbols paying out 8x your bet for five-of-a-kind combos.

For specials, there are Character Wilds and Star Candy Scatters. Character Wilds can naturally substitute for any of the pay symbols in winning combinations, and you’ll get a huge 80x payout if you manage to line up 5 of them on one of the slot’s paylines.

Kicking off the gameplay, we have the Stacked Symbols feature that allows all symbols (except Star Candy Scatters) to potentially appear Stacked on the reels. That allows for high win situations, and we’re all up for that!

At random, you can get a Highlighted Position on one of the reels, and it’s actually Sticky, moving up by one position with each spin. You can have more than one Highlighted Position in play at any point, but you can’t get more than one on a single reel.

Your goal is then to land a Star Candy Scatter on one of your Highlighted Positions, as that’s how you trigger the Free Spins feature with a set of 10 free spins. This can even happen on multiple reels in one go, and you’ll get 10 free spins for each trigger in that case.

During free spins, there’s a global win multiplier in effect at all times, and you can increase it by +1x by simply getting a winning spin. There are no limits to how big the global win multiplier can be, and you can continue to land Star Candy Scatters on Highlighted Positions during free spins as well. If you manage to do that, you’ll get 2 Character Wilds placed on the board and receive a set of 5 extra free spins.

Review Summary

All in all, they have once again managed to launch an excellent slot that delivers in all regards, and we can recommend it to all players that are looking for some sweet fun. Star Candy’s high volatility doesn’t make things ideal for recreational players, especially when coupled with the game’s generally low RTP options, but it’s not as crushing as you’d perhaps expect.
