Retro Sweets is packed with features that create some really exciting gameplay. Here is how it all works:
Cascading Wins
First of all, this game uses the classic Cascading Wins mechanic. After each win, winning symbols are removed from the grid, existing ones drop down to fill the spaces, and new ones drop in from above to complete the grid once more. If more wins are created, then the process repeats. And so on, until no more wins occur.
Wild Multiplier
Look out for the Wild multiplier, shaped like a multi-colored candy bomb. It carries a multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x. When it lands it distributes that value to any visible Wild Candy symbols before transforming into an instant prize symbol with a random value.
Instant Prize Symbols
These are different colored symbols that display bet multiplier values of 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 1,000x. If they land as a cluster of 5 then the prize value is paid out.
Instant Prize Multiplier
Just like the Wild Multiplier, the Instant Prize Multiplier has a value of 2x, 5x or 10x. This one applies its value to all Instant Prize symbols in view before transforming into another Instant Prize symbol itself.
Sweet Collector
The Sweet Collector is the letter ‘C’. It works like a magnet, attracting identical pay symbols from across the grid to form a cluster around it. It can do the same with Instant Prize symbols if 4 or more are visible. It can drawn in anywhere between 4 and 9 symbols in this way and it can attract Wilds too to help complete the clusters.
Once a cluster is created by the collector it transforms into the matching pay symbol or an Instant Prize symbol.
Cluster Links
Look out for the Cluster Links too. For these to trigger you need to land a specified number of Instant Prizes in a cluster. These clusters and enhancements can bring up big wins.
Up To 12 Free Spins
Wild Candy symbols don’t just help to complete clusters. When 3 or more land on one spin, then the free spins feature is triggered like this:
- 3 Wild Candy – 6 free spins
- 4 Wild Candy – 8 free spins
- 5 Wild Candy – 10 free spins
- 6 Wild Candy – 12 free spins
At the start of the round, any Wild Candy and Instant Prize symbols stick in place from the triggering spin. And for each spin, the remaining positions on the grid display any of the following symbols:
- Instant Prize – locks in place for the rest of the feature
- Instant Prize Multiplier – applies its value to any visible Instant Prizes
- Wild Candy – completes clusters
- Wild Multiplier – applied to any Wild Candy on the grid
- Extra Spin – gets you 1 or 2 more spins before transforming into an Instant Prize symbol
- Sweet Collector – picks out pay symbols, instant prize symbols and wilds not yet involved in a cluster and attracts them around it
- Blanks – do not pay out
Instant Prize cluster payouts are only calculated and paid out at the end of the round. As these symbols stick throughout, that means there is potential to build some really nice wins.
