Candyland Slot Review
We all fancy a bit of candy every now and then don't we? I guess this is more a candy machine than a fruit machine and is from 1x2 Gaming. This British company is best known for its virtual football games but produce some great slot games too and this is one of them, even if it does make you really hungry for Haribo sweets, which this is based on and might guarantee another trip to the dentist.
Candyland is a five reel with three rows and just the nine paylines for you to try and win cash on. It's a game that wil always cheer you up when you look at it, simply because it's so bright and cheerful. The same can't quite be said for the soundtrack which will soon have you reaching for the mute button.
Playing this game costs between £0.01 and £22.50, that's not too high a maximum bet but just go for a level you feel comfortable with and enjoy the game.
Symbols in this game are totally dedicated to the theme of the game. There's a lemon drop, a cola bottle, strawberry, an egg, a jelly baby and a gummy bear. The wild symbol in this game is the green Love Heart, this can substitute for all other symbols apart from the scatter symbols. There's two of those - a star and a purple sweet.
The control buttons are all down the bottom of the screen. There's no difficulty at all in setting your coin value, how many coins you want on each payline and the total paylines you want to play on a spin. You can also set some automated spins, these are title 'Autobet' rather than the usual 'AutoPlay' but it's exactly the same thing. You can set either 5,10,25.50 or 100 or alternatively set your own figure. Regardless of how many you set, they can be canceled at any time.
This isn't a complex game to play but you are advised to have a quick look through the paytable and view pays. A few free games won't hurt either as you prepare to put your real cash on the line.
Bonus Games
To get some free spins you need to get one or more of the purple sweets anywhere on the reels. The number of sweets you get determines just how many free spins you receive. Just the one gets you five, two doubles that to ten, three gives you 15, four 20 and five, an impressive 25. There's even more money to be won because all wins are doubled during the free spins you receive. However, there's no retriggering of free spins here.
The Haribonus round can be triggered if you get any five of the egg, cola bottle and strawberry symbols on an active payline. If you do that then you win 160x your coin value.
Conclusion
A rather simple and straightforward game that will leave you rather peckish by the time you've finished playing it. The bonus games are profitable and you'll certainly enjoy playing this.
