Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways Slot Review

Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways slot is played on 6 reels and has up to 117,649 ways to win. Using Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic, each reel can randomly contain anywhere between 2 and 7 symbols. The more symbol on the reel, the more Megaways there are.

Wins are awarded on left to right adjacent symbols regardless of size. Each win will trigger a cascade, which means that winning symbols are removed from the reels and all remaining symbols will move to take up the empty positions. New symbols then drop from above to fill the reels. This continues until no new winners are formed.

Spin away from as little as 20p per spin up to £20, thus catering to most bankrolls. Use the + and – buttons below the reels to adjust your total bet. You will also see options to the left of the reels for autoplay and turbo spins if it’s available in your country.

The Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways RTP is 96.01%, which is slightly above the industry average. But please note that there are a few other RTP versions of this game that UK online casinos could use, so just make sure you’re playing the one you want to play. The other RTP rates are 93.81%, 90% and 88%.

The maximum win is 20,000 x the bet. This is best achieved in the Free Spins feature as there is the possibility of triggering the bonus feature numerous times.

Theme – cater to your sweet tooth cravings

The sweets theme has been done by a lot of providers over the years. Some do it well and some don’t. Stakelogic has done a very good job here with the Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways slot with its bold visuals.  The reels are set in front of what looks like wafers, doughnuts and cupcakes floating in the air. It reminds me of Pragmatic’s Sweet Bonanza slot in terms of how it looks. That game is great, so why not copy it a little?

Regarding the soundtrack, it’s quite mellow and repetitive, although I still think it fits the theme well. There’s nothing special about it, so I wouldn’t blame you if you hit the mute button after a while. What I do like are the sound effects. The sound of sweet wrappers is a nice touch. It makes me think of Candy Crush Saga when I hear that sound. The symbols also remind me of the popular mobile game too.

On the reels, the paying symbols are all made up of different coloured candies. The Gold Star candy is the most rewarding, paying 0.5, 2, 3, 5 or 10 x the bet for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. This is the only symbol where 2 are needed for a winner. The rest require a minimum of 3 matching symbols. Here’s a list of the standard symbols you will come across in the game.

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Blue Circular Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.7 x stake
Green Traingle Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.7 x stake
Pink Square Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 or 0.8 x stake
Yellow Diamond Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 or 0.8 x stake
Turquoise Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9 x stake
Orange Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9 x stake
Purple Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.5, 0.7 or 1 x stake
Red Heart Candy	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.5, 0.7 or 1.5 x stake

There are 3 more symbols in the game, which we cover further down in the review as they’re part of the Free Spins feature.

Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways mobile

The Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways mobile slot runs on the latest HTML5 technology to ensure smooth performance on mobiles, PCs, laptops and/or tablets. The visuals are great on smaller iOS and Android screens, but I do prefer playing games with a larger reel size on bigger devices at mobile casino sites.

Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features to enjoy in the Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways slot game – a Wild Booster feature, a Free Spins feature and a Buy option, which may not be available in your country. Read on as we explain all of the bonus features to that you can fully understand what’s going on.

Wild Booster Feature

You’ll notice in the screenshot that there are 4 positions on the top reel. There’s a chance that all of these positions are highlighted during a random spin. If the highlighted symbols from the top reel are present on the reel below them, those matching symbols will turn into Wilds. Additionally, if the highlighted symbols from the top reel are Wilds, then all symbols on the reel below will turn into Wilds.

During the bonus round, the following Multiplier symbols (known as Candy Bombs) could land:

You may also have a Super Stake option, which you will see to the right of the reels. Again, this may or may not be available in your country. If it is, you can activate this to increase your chances of landing the Free spins feature. More Scatters are placed on the reels to increase that possibility. The cost? Double the usual base bet cost.

Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways Review Summary – a sweet Stakelogic slot

I’ve already drawn comparisons with Sweet Bonanza, and Candyways Bonanza 3 Megaways does feel a little similar but with the added Megaways mechanic. But that’s not a bad thing as Pragmatic created a great slot with Sweet Bonanza. it would have been nice to see some more unique elements, but it is what it is sometimes.

For those who enjoy this theme, you will no doubt enjoy this game as it comes with unlimited free spins, multipliers up to 100x and 20,000 x max wins. When testing, I triggered the Free Spins feature quite a few times, which is a good sign.

The volatility levels are understandably high, but there’s a lot to like overall. It won’t be winning any awards in the best UK slots category as it’s not unique enough, but you won’t be disappointed if you decide to give it a try. Don’t hesitate to play our free demo first before using any real money.
