Candy Blitz

Candy Blitz Review

Candy Blitz is another candy slot from Pragmatic Play, first released in 2023. It’s not quite reached the massive popularity levels of Sugar Rush and Sweet Bonanza, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you like the candy games.

It’s a pays anywhere slot on a 6 x 5 grid. To win, you need to land 8 or more candy symbols at the same time, and any wins tumble away to be replaced with more falling symbols. The key to this game is that, on the right of the grid there’s a Multiplier Reel which holds a stack of multipliers. When a win takes place, the multiplier at the bottom of the reel takes effect, and the values are random, so you could get a small one, a big one, or nothing at all.

4 or more Scatter symbols takes us to the bonus round, and here it’s the same concept but now the lowest possible multiplier is 2x, and the wins are generally bigger.

How To Play

1. Choose your bet size and start spinning.
2. You’re aiming for 8 or more of the same symbol in a pays anywhere/scatter pays format to score a win. When this happens, the winning symbols explode off the grid to be replaced in a tumbling/cascading fashion. Any wins in a tumble make use of the current value in Multiplier Reel. With the next tumble, the next value drops down to be the active value in the Multiplier Reel. This whole reel resets, along with the grid, on every fresh spin.
3. Landing 4 Scatter symbols in the base game triggers the bonus round with 10 free spins. 5 Scatters leads to 12 free spins, and 6 Scatters leads to 14 free spins. You can also buy the bonus for 100x your current wager.
4. Now the minimum possible value for a multiplier is 2x (rather than nothing/1x), and higher value multipliers appear more often in general. Also, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols in the bonus feature retrigger 5, 8, or 10 more free spins.

Bonus Features

• Multiplier Reel: This sits to the right of the grid and holds a stack of randomly-generated multiplier values. Possible values are: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x. In the base game, a lot of the multiplier symbols will be blank, signifying a 1x multiplier. Every time a win occurs, it will receive the multiplier value currently at the bottom of the Multiplier Reel, then as the tumble happens on the grid, the next symbol in line will move to the bottom. With every fresh spin, the Multiplier Reel refreshes too. In the bonus game, the minimum possible value of a multiplier is 2x, and the values are higher in general.
