Stakelogic unwraps Candy Links Bonanza
Developer’s latest tasty slot has been built in collaboration with Hurricane Games via its Greenlogic® Program
Stakelogic has teamed up with rising star developer Hurricane Games to launch a tasty video slot that can deliver some truly sweet wins.
Candy Links Bonanza has been created through the provider’s Greenlogic® Program and is a modern video slot with plenty of features to unwrap.
During the base game, players collect gold coins that are transferred from the main 5×5 reel matrix to that same position on the Hurricane Links collection card on the left-hand side of the reels.
Coin symbols can appear on all reels except the centre reel. Any vertical, horizontal or diagonal line of five coins on the Hurricane Links collection card will trigger the Hurricane Links win.
All coin amounts within that line are paid and multiple Hurricane Links lines can be paid in one spin. Lines that include the middle bonus wheel icon triggers the Wheel of Fortune bonus.
The Wheel of Fortune feature consists of three wheels – Mini, Major and Grand. One spin on the Wheel of Fortune is awarded, starting on Mini.
The Mini Wheel can see players upgrade to Major or land a x5, x10 or x20 Multiplier. If they upgrade, the Major Wheel offers the chance to upgrade or land a x10 or x20 Multiplier.
If they upgrade again, the player is given the chance to land either the Mini, Major or Grand jackpot.
If that wasn’t enough, Candy Links Bonanza also comes with a Respin feature which is triggered when two Scatter symbols land during the base game.
All symbols except the middle position are held, the middle position spins and wins are paid. If the Scatter lands again, the Free Spins bonus is triggered.
The bonus is also triggered when three, four or five Scatters land during the base game, awarding 10, 15 and 20 Free Spins accordingly.
With each spin, Multiplier Wilds can land (with a range of x1 – x3) which is added to a cumulative Multiplier meter – the Multiplier is also awarded to each spin.
Hurricane Links can be triggered during Free Spins and coins are transferred between the base game and Free Spins. The feature cannot be retriggered.
Candy Links Bonanza also boasts Stakelogic’s innovative Super Stake feature allowing players to place a side bet and double their chance of landing the Free Spins bonus.
Salvatore Campione, Head of Greenlogic® at Stakelogic, said: “Candy Links Bonanza delivers some truly sweet wins thanks to the range of features built into the game.
“It’s slots like this that showcase the true potential of the Greenlogic® Program, with rising star studios like Hurricane Games given the platform to design and develop blockbuster slots.
“Candy Links Bonanza makes for a great addition to our growing suite of classic slots and video slots, and we look forward to adding it to operator game lobbies.”
