Candyfinity

Yggdrasil’s Candyfinity slot is a brand-new addition to the candy-themed slots of the past few years. To innovate on the standard sweet-tooth experience they have introduced a unique reel system. Landing wins will expand your reels and provide additional winning ways. There are 46656 winning ways to be unlocked on the 6 expanding reels.

Furthermore, you can unlock increasing multipliers and free spins and even gamble for the latter. The entire gameplay is highly volatile so be ready for a sugar rush of less frequent hit rates but higher payouts on average. The maximum win is 38837x your wager with bonus buy and golden bet options to help you reach it. Let us find out how does this candyland-themed game work in our Candyfinity slot review.

To explain the basic gameplay of the Candyfinity slot we must talk about the expanding reels. Before that, the structure of the slot is a 6-reel board with up to 46656 winning ways. Players must arrange at least 3 identical symbols on consecutive reels starting left to right. Vertical positions are irrelevant as long as the previous conditions are fulfilled.

Once a win is achieved, the winning streak activates. All winning symbols remain in place and the reels shift to the right respinning the first reel. The new reel will expand to 4 rows high and if another win is possible it will trigger and expand the next reel to 5 and so on. Winning streaks continue to shift reels but the maximum reel size is 6 rows. What this essentially means is that by landing enough consecutive wins your entire board can become 6×6 with up to 46656 possible winning ways.

Regular symbols include the 4 low-wins which appear as a candy-shaped ace, club, heart, and diamond. Then there are also the 4 high-wins which appear as various candies. Wilds also appear in the base game with their usual substitution ability.

There are three betting options in the Candyfinity slot by Yggdrasil:

1. Placing a regular bet anywhere from $0.2 to $20
2. Placing a golden bet for 1.5x the regular bet for increased chances of free spins
3. Placing a bonus buy bet for 100x or 500x the base bet for 6 or 15 automatic free spins respectively

Whatever betting style you choose the maximum win is 38837x the original bet. While this is a high number note that the maximum bet is $20. Furthermore, volatility is very high in this slot so it might not be suitable for all player preferences. The RTP is the average slot-market value of 96.00% which is not great but not terrible.

Lastly, payout options for regular symbols are up to 0.75x the bet for 6 low-win symbols. Furthermore, 6 high-win symbols will get you anywhere from 1.25x to 10x the bet which is decent for a win streak slot.

Besides expanding reels which we’ve covered earlier, there are additional bonus features in Yggdrasil’s Candyfinity. Here they are:

• Increasing Multipliers – If the player has 6 of a kind winning combination or more, a win multiplier will be applied starting at x2 and increasing by 1 for each additional win thereafter.
• Scatter Symbol and Free Spins – The scatter symbols is used to trigger free spins and you get 6, 8, 10 or 12 spins for 3, 4, 5 and 6 scatters. Additionally, two scatters in view will create or continue a winning streak on reel 1 without other wins needing to be present. Scatter symbols are removed from free spins and cannot retrigger them.
• Gamble – After triggering free spins an option to Gamble for more spins appears. After successfully gambling for additional spins, the player may gamble again or start the session. Losing the gamble means losing all sins. The player will not enter the Gamble if they trigger the maximum amount of FS.

With high volatility, the buy feature and the gamble option this slot is quite suitable for high-risk high-reward players.
