HOW TO PLAY CANDYFINITY
The game starts out on a 6 by 3 layout – 6 reels with 3 positions each. In classic fashion, your goal is to match 3 identical symbols on at least 3 reels going from left to right.
Once you hit a winning combination, things get interesting. Candyfinity features a unique mechanic called the Streak. Any winning symbols are held in place and the reels all shift one position to the right. This means the rightmost reel is removed from the game and a new reel appears on the left.
This new reel will also expand to include 4 symbols. Any new wins resulting from the new reel are calculated as usual and added to the total payout. Moreover, additional wheels will also shift the reels and introduce new rows, up to a maximum of 6 symbols per reel.
Moreover, if you win with 6 of a kind of any symbol, a multiplier will be applied to all wins in that round. Further 6+ wins will increase the multiplier even further, starting at 2x and increasing by 1 for every new win.
If you hit two Scatters at any point, the game creates or continues a Streak without any other requirements.
Free Spins
Candyfinity Free Spins trigger if you hit at least three Bonus symbols anywhere on the board. You get 6 free spins for three Bonus symbols, with 2 extra spins for each symbol above 2, up to a maximum of 12.
Bonus symbols are collected during Streaks, which makes them easier to hit. However, they’re completely removed during the Free Spins round, so the bonus round can’t be re-triggered.
However, you can Gamble for more free spins. When this feature is triggered, you’ll get a chance to gamble for 2 additional spins. If you accept, a small wheel spins. If it lands on green, you get additional spins. If it hits red, you lose the Bonus round entirely.
Feature Buy and Golden Bet
You can buy features in Candyfinity, which is always a welcome sight. For 100x the stake, you can get an instant Free Spins trigger at any moment. This basic package only guarantees 3 bonus symbols, but you might get lucky and hit more. Alternatively, you can trigger 15 guaranteed free spins for 500x the stake.
Furthermore, Candifinity offers something called the Golden Bet, which we’re seeing more and more in Yggdrasil games. Essentially, you can choose to pay a 50% fee on all bets for an increased chance to trigger Bonus games. Note that this added price is not accounted for while calculating payouts.
