Candy Paradise is Just For The Win’s first candy-themed game, offering a visually pleasing yet typical candy slot setting. With cotton candy clouds and relaxing music, it creates a soothing atmosphere.
The game’s design places the reels on a pink cloud in the centre-left, with a Wild Collection Meter on the left and a Bonus Wheel below. While it’s appealing, it doesn’t break new ground compared to similar games.
You’ll encounter a variety of symbols in the game. The regular ones include candy clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, grapes, orange segments, cherries, and 7s, offering payouts ranging from 1x to 10x when you land five of the same symbol.
The wild symbol is a colourful “W” and pays 10x the bet when you get five of them. The scatter symbol is a yellow candy with “FREE SPINS” text on reels 1, 3, and 5, triggering the Free Spins Feature with three of these symbols. Lastly, the Bonus symbol is a round candy marked “BONUS.”
All landing Wilds accumulate into the Wild Collection metre. When filled, one (1) Wild Swirl will be added to the Wild Counter up to 9, while the metre resets to zero (0).
Gathering at least one Wild scattered on-screen can randomly activate this feature from the base game only. During this Candy Paradise free play, the number of Wild Swirls in the Wild Counter is allocated to random reel positions.
The slot’s scatter symbol can land on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game, and landing at least 3 of them gets you 7 free spins. During this round, the Wild Swirls from your counter will be placed over the grid and can multiply wins if they land in a space that already has a wild in it. You can also win free spins as a prize when you spin the bonus wheel.
What you have here is an interesting setup that can look a little confusing at first glance but a few spins on Candy Paradise soon settles the nerves. There's more to this than I originally thought and I'd happily take this for a spin again sometime.
