B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has launched its delectable new slot, Candy Blast.
This vibrant 6×5 game promises a rush of sugary excitement with a one of a kind pays anywhere mechanic enhanced by a double multiplier, intuitive features and cascading wins.
Candy Blast has been designed to offer a fast-paced, action-packed gameplay experience that provides the high volatility action so coveted by today’s players.
The total multiplier meter is the key indicator of winning potential throughout the game. Positioned to the left of the grid, it shows the current level of the multiplier, which can reach up to x2048 in the base game. The multiplier is applied to each winning combination when it occurs and resets after a non-winning spin.
The all-important multiplier number can be increased by a multiplier boost symbol, which can move up the meter by up to five steps.
The free spins bonus game elevates the excitement with the Multiplier Strike-Out feature. Players must achieve three consecutive cascading wins to climb the multiplier ladder and unlock the highest values for substantial payouts. This strategic mechanic removes the lowest active multiplier, increasing the potential for explosive wins.
For those eager to dive into the sweet action, the Push Bet feature allows players to accelerate their journey to the bonus round by 3x, offering a quicker path to potentially massive rewards.
Anastasiia Mysan, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “We set out to create a fast-paced game full of action while offering the high volatility that so many players love to experience.
“Candy Blast is a sweet mix of everyone’s guilty pleasures – candies – and powerful features, mechanics and a doubling multiplier.
“Our latest game is a vividly coloured, visual delight that provides incredible, volatile gameplay and a treat for the senses.”
