Stoitchkov’s international impact was profound, winning him the prestigious Ballon d’Or in December and the Golden Boot in 1994.
Candy Palace features vibrant colours, eye-catching candy symbols and a range of special elements. Highlights include Toppling Reels, candy-jar multipliers, Free Spins and the chance to win progressive jackpots.
