Game Overview

We’re walking into a wonderful world of sickly-sweet colourful candy for this slot review. You can almost taste the sweet treats beautifully brought to life on the screen in this game from provider Quickspin. Whatever your favourite pick-a-mix selection happens to be, it’s sure to be found here. The Candy Glyph slot is a high volatility, seven-reel, seven-row game featuring a maximum win of 13,000x and an RTP setting of 96.19% at its highest.

As you tuck into some spins on Candy Glyph, it’s hard to shake the feeling that it’s been inspired somewhat by one of the most successful mobile phone games of all time, the one where you crush candy. We may well have another Colin vs Cuthbert the Caterpillar situation on our hands here. Anyway, events take place on a 7×7 grid, and cluster pay and tumble mechanics are in action, with wins achieved by matching a minimum of five symbols connected anywhere on the screen, which are then removed from the reels to allow further symbols to drop into play. At the bottom of the grid, you will find a row of five power-up symbols activated by wins on the main reels. These provide game-enhancing features such as symbol removal and random wilds. If you activate the fifth and final power-up symbol, the bonus feature will be awarded.

If that’s got you itching for a sugar hit, you’re in luck! We have the Candy Glyph slot demo available, and It’s free to play below!

Games involving the theme of confectionary seem to be a sweet spot for game developers, with a multitude of choices available to players who enjoy this genre. One of my personal favourites is the Sugar Rush slot from provider Pragmatic Play. It can be a difficult game to catch right and is often very hit-and-miss, but if you can get the multipliers on the go in the bonus game, then you’ll be in for a sweet treat. Or, if you’d like a different mechanic, how about Sweet Rush Megaways from BGaming? This is a high volatility, 6×7 grid title, with an RTP of 96.71% and a potential maximum win of 12,960x, with up to 117,649 megaways, cascading wins, and a free spins bonus to shoot for. Next, we’ll take a more detailed look into the features of Candy Glyph, starting with that all-important pays section.

To achieve the maximum payout for each symbol on Candy Glyph, you’ll need to match a cluster of 15 or more. This seems fairly achievable, considering there are 49 symbols on the screen at any one time. The top symbol is the Strawberry Sweet, which pays 250x your total stake for 15+ symbols. Next, it’s the Star at 100x, with the Lime following at 75x. The lower value symbols are the Orange Gummy, the Pink Ring, the Green Sweet, and the Blue Triangle, which return 18x, 13.5x, 12.5x, and 7.5x, respectively, for a cluster of 15+ symbols.

Looking at the stake options on Candy Glyph, we can see there are a fair few to choose from, with 16 different options available in total. These range from as low as €0.20 to as high as €100.00, with gradual increments in between, meaning all players should be able to find a bet size to play at.

Candy Glyph Slot Base Game & Modifiers

The game mechanic used in Candy Glyph is based on the popular cluster pays format. Wins are achieved by matching five or more corresponding symbols anywhere on the 7×7 grid. These symbols can be in any formation or direction as long as they are linked to each other in some way. Any symbols involved in a win are removed from the grid through the cascading reels mechanic, and additional random symbols will drop in from the top of the reels into the spaces created.

Power Wild

The Power Wild will spawn inside the space vacated by the symbols removed as the result of any winning cluster. It will then activate a power-up at the bottom of the grid if it is involved in any subsequent win. The Power Up features are as follows:

  • Bonbon Bomb: Removes all symbols on the grid that reside within its row and column.
  • Lollipop Rocket: Removes a randomly chosen low symbol type.
  • Bouncy Bean: Spawns 4-10 randomly placed wilds on the grid.

Candy Glyph Slot Bonus Features

Candy Glyph Free Spins Feature

The free spins bonus is activated by achieving five separate wins involving a power wild symbol during any one game round. Once this is accomplished, you will be awarded nine free spins, where the Piñata Glyph Wild is introduced to the action. This pinata symbol acts as a wild and starts at a multiplier value of x1 on the first free spin.

Free Spins Feature

Any wins involving the Piñata Glyph Wilds will add +1 to its value, which continues to be held between spins until the end of the bonus. This wild will move to a random position on the grid at the start of each spin. The win amount from each spin which involves the pinata wild is multiplied by its current value. An additional three spins are awarded each time the free spins power-up is activated again.

Pros

  • Top symbols have achievable high pay values.
  • Above average RTP and reasonable maximum win for game type.

Cons

  • Base game can dry up for long periods.

Candy Glyph Slot Review Final Thoughts

I had great fun playing Candy Glyph during testing. It’s a colourful, good-looking game, and looking out for the power wilds and working through the power-up features they activate to get to the free spins icon keeps you engrossed in the game. I did find that the base game can go dead for 10-20 spins at times, so it is important to trigger the bonus to hopefully build your balance back up. The free spins are definitely where the action is at; it's nice that an additional feature has been added here in the form of the piñata wild, as this gives the bonus an extra dynamic, and once its multiplier begins to build, the potential of a big win is there to be seen.
