Candy Wild Bonanza Slot Review

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin Slot Information

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin drops me into a fairytale candyland with a 6x6 grid and scatter pays layout. Wins land whenever 8 or more matching symbols show anywhere on the reels, so you are not chasing paylines. Stakes run from 0.20 to 20 per spin, or double that with Super Stake, and the slot uses high volatility with a 95.84% RTP and a stated 20,000x max win.

Inside Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin I get a very stripped back base game on paper, but it hides a fair bit of swing. Cascades keep dropping fresh symbols after every hit, Prize Awards lead into the Hold and Spin bonus, and multiplier candies come alive once Super Stake is toggled on. On top of that sits a Bonus Buy menu for direct entry into different levels of the feature.

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin Slot Features

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin Slot Features centre around that scatter pays grid and constant cascades. Any win removes the paying symbols and drops new sweets into place, so single spins can chain longer than you expect. With the Count Pay system paying from 8 up to 12+ of a kind, the top purple, rainbow and gummy bear symbols can reach 15x to 50x your stake for full screens. Lower and mid tier candies cover the smaller scatter wins.

Landing 3 to 6 scatter cookies in one cascading sequence activates the Prize Awards step, which drops 3 to 6 prize symbols on an empty 6x6 bonus board. Those sticky amounts match the number of triggering scatters and feed straight into the Hold and Spin feature. You start there with 3 respins, and every time a new non blank symbol lands, it locks in place and your spin counter jumps back to three.

During Hold and Spin in Candy Wild Bonanza you see a mix of Prize symbols, Multiplier symbols, Collectors and fixed jackpots. Prize icons show bet multipliers from a predefined set, while multipliers of up to 10x apply to all other values apart from the Collector. Collector symbols grab every visible prize except jackpots, and if you manage to cover all 36 positions you land the Grand jackpot worth 1,000x.

Hold and Spin in Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin

Hold and Spin in Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin feels like a classic respin round with a sugary twist. The aim is to keep landing new symbols before the counter runs out, slowly building a patchwork of prizes, multipliers, Collectors and Mini, Minor or Major jackpots paying 30x, 100x and 500x. I have had rounds fizzle out fast, but a screen dotted with multipliers can climb far quicker than it first appears.

Super Stake in Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin

Super Stake in Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin doubles your wager but leaves the symbol payouts themselves untouched. With it active, rainbow multiplier candies can land in the base game with values ranging from 2x up to 100x, and if several appear together their values stack before being applied. At the same time, the chance of triggering Hold and Spin climbs, so the slot feels much more action heavy.

From my sessions, Candy Wild Bonanza with Super Stake off can feel quite sparse, as you are relying on pure cascades and scatter cookies. Once I switch it on, stray base game hits suddenly jump when a chunky multiplier lands in the mix, and bonus entries come around more often. It does chew through balance quicker on a cold run though, so I keep stakes modest and sessions measured.

The 200 Spins Candy Wild Bonanza Slot Experience

The 200 Spins Candy Wild Bonanza Slot Experience I had pretty much mirrored the high variance stats on paper. Long patches of dead or near dead spins on standard stakes were broken by the odd nice tumble when clusters of medium or top candies lined up. I then bought the priciest Hold and Spin round, which carried the session, as a cluster of prize amounts and a late multiplier combination pulled the balance back.

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin Slot Conclusion

Candy Wild Bonanza Hold & Spin Slot Conclusion for me is that it is a sweet scatter pays grind with a fairly serious punch behind the cute looks. The biggest irritation is the strange pause between symbol drops, where you stare at an empty grid for a few seconds even with turbo on. Once you accept that pacing quirk, the mix of cascades, Super Stake multipliers and Hold and Spin gives plenty of swing.

The advertised 20,000x potential in Candy Wild Bonanza feels more believable to me than some headline numbers in the genre, especially when Hold and Spin lines up Collectors and multipliers. I am not a fan of the customisable RTP ranges operators can pick from, so I always check the paytable screen. For fans of candy slots and respin style jackpots though, this one serves up entertaining, sometimes vicious, sessions.
