Core Gameplay and Mechanics

The base game follows standard slot mechanics. To form a winning combination, players need to land at least three matching symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. The game features both lower-paying card rank symbols (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) and higher-paying candy symbols in various colors (blue, purple, green, yellow, and red).

Five-of-a-kind wins with card symbols award between 1.2x and 1.5x the bet, while candy symbols pay between 2x and 4x the bet for a full payline. The Wild symbol is the highest-paying regular symbol, offering 10x the bet for five on a payline. Wilds substitute for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations.

The game incorporates special Connector, Collector, and Jackpot symbols that play crucial roles in triggering the bonus features.

Bonus Features

1. Link&Win Feature This is the main bonus game, triggered by collecting one or more Feature symbols. Players receive three free respins, with all positions becoming blank except for landed special symbols. New symbols reset the respin counter to three. The feature ends when respins are exhausted, all positions are filled, or the win limit is reached.

The Link&Win feature can be activated with one, two, or three active sub-features, depending on the number of different Feature symbol types collected:

a) Connector Feature

• Cash Coins land and lock in place
• Completing sets of five Cash Coins activates multipliers (2x to 15x)
• Multipliers apply to the values in completed sets

b) Collector Feature

• Cash Coins and Cash Collect Coins land and lock
• Cash Collect Coins sum the values of all landed coins for the current spin
• Up to three Cash Collect Coins can appear per spin

c) Jackpot Feature

• Cash Coins and Jackpot Coins (MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, GRAND) can land
• Four matching Jackpot Coins trigger the corresponding jackpot
• Jackpot values: GRAND (5000x), MAJOR (500x), MINOR (50x), MINI (15x)

2. Upsizer Feature Before the Link&Win feature begins, players can opt to purchase a more valuable version of the bonus game. The available options depend on the initial trigger result.
3. Feature Buy Players can directly purchase access to the Link&Win feature with various combinations of sub-features:

• Single feature (Collector, Connector, or Jackpot): 30x bet
• Two features: 70x bet
• All three features: 150x bet

The most intriguing aspect of Candy Combo – Power Combo is its modular bonus game structure. The ability to trigger the Link&Win feature with different combinations of sub-features adds depth and replay value to the game. This system allows for varied bonus experiences, from simpler single-feature rounds to complex, potentially highly rewarding sessions with all three features active simultaneously. The Upsizer option further enhances this flexibility, giving players more control over their bonus game experience.
