Swintt sets the stage for sugar-coated wins in Candyman
Sought-after software provider’s sweet new Premium slot sees players step into a world of sugary delights where multiplier free spins can lead to satisfying rewards
This month popular software provider, Swintt, is helping players satisfy their cravings for sugar, spice and all things nice in Candyman – a sweet new Premium release where tumbling reels and multiplier free spins pave the way to candy-coated wins of up to 5,000x.
Played out across an expanded 6×5 reel matrix, Candyman does away with conventional lines in favour of a scatter mechanic were collecting eight or more matching symbols guarantees a prize regardless of where they land, with new icons falling from above to potentially create further wins.
Featuring lollipops, donuts, cupcakes and more, there’s no shortage of sweet treats on offer, but in order to unlock the game’s tastiest rewards, players will need to keep an eye out for special Candyman scatter symbols. Collecting four of these icons will automatically trigger 15 free spins, with all wins having the chance to benefit from big multipliers that can stack up after every round.
During the free spins, the Candyman will randomly add bombs displaying multiplier values to vacant reel spaces, with these not only becoming active whenever a win is triggered but also being added to the progressive multiplier. Any subsequent multiplier wins will be enhanced by the current bomb totals and the overall progressive value, with this creating truly colossal prizes.
With the progressive multiplier steadily increasing as the feature continues, players can extend the bonus by five free spins by landing four more scatter symbols – and if they don’t want to wait for free spins to trigger, they can even start them instantly using the “Buy Feature Games” button.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With tumbling reels being a popular mechanic used in many of our slots, this month we’re giving SwinttPremium fans the chance to take it for a spin in Candyman. A fun new addition to our classically themed line-up, the game combines simple gameplay with exciting features and huge progressive multipliers, creating a title that should hit the sweet spot for traditional slot purists and modern players alike.”
