Candy Bars Slot Machine
Released in December 2013, IGT Slots The Candy Bars slot has gained immense popularity among players worldwide. This vibrant and entertaining four-reel video slot revolves around the delightful theme of candy – true to its name – inviting players to fill the reels with delectable bars of milk chocolate.
It's easy to feel hungry while playing, as a variety of scrumptious treats zip across the reels. From enticing chocolate bars to colorful gumdrops, tasty peppermints, and tempting lollipops, the game's visuals are sure to trigger cravings for sweets! Each icon adds a fun twist, with the lollipop looking surprised, the peppermint grinning joyfully, and the green gum appearing as a mischievous villain.
The reels are packed with action and surrounded by a whimsical candy-striped pole. The backdrop features a sky blue pattern, while the game controls sit below in cheerful green and white. The Candy Bar logo, which is styled over an unwrapped chocolate bar, can be found to the left above the reels, with various jackpot totals displayed on the right.
50 Pay-lines
With a staggering 50 fixed paylines, Candy Bars takes full advantage of its unique matrix to generate winning combinations. You can explore the different payline arrangements by clicking the ‘Pays’ button situated above the reels.
In terms of layout, Candy Bars shares similarities with numerous slot games, having the spin button located at the bottom of the reels alongside displays for Coin Value, Total Bet, and Balance. Additionally, there's a toolbox icon that allows you to adjust the graphics quality from low to high based on your device's performance. An Auto Spin feature is also available; simply select how many automatic spins you want to occur at your current bet level, and hit Stop to exit this feature.
Wild Gumballs
The wild symbol in Candy Bars is represented by the gumball. If you use a wild gumball in any winning combination, you'll double your payout. If you land two wilds, your winnings are quadrupled. The gumball can only appear on the second and third reels and acts as a substitute for all other symbols in a line win, though it won't replace symbols in Blackout or progressive wins.
Standard payouts are quite respectable. Being an upbeat, retro-style game, the highest-paying regular symbol is represented by the 7 icon. There are two variations of this symbol, one featuring a red 7 on a blue background, and another with a blue 7 against a red backdrop. The red 7 is particularly valuable, as lining up four of these will award you 100 credits, while four blue 7s only yield half that amount.
The candy-themed icons offer modest payouts; four of them reward you with 10 credits, and three grant you 5 credits. Notably, all line wins are paid from left to right across the reels.
Blackout wins happen when the entire reel setup is filled with the same icon. Keep an eye out for red 7s; if the grids are filled with these symbols, you'll claim an impressive 25,000! A fully loaded blue 7 will net you 12,500, and candy Blackouts pay out 5,000.
Even if the reels are stacked with a mix of red and blue 7s, you can still grab a hefty 5,000 payout. Every Blackout win is multiplied by the coin value and stacks on top of regular line wins; concurrent line wins on different paylines are added together.
All About the Progressive
Players can trigger progressive jackpots based on how many chocolate bars they land on the reels. The payout varies depending on the placement of the chocolate bars. If you fill the second reel with chocolate bars, you'll achieve the Snack Size payout; if chocolate bars span the central reels, you'll earn the King Size payout; and if you land three chocolate bars on reels 2, 3, and 4, you will hit the Giant Size payout. At the top-right corner above the reels, the associated value for each Mason jar is displayed. Only the highest progressive jackpot is rewarded alongside any line wins.
Sweeter than Sugar
Whether you're visiting a brick-and-mortar casino or enjoying an online version, this candy-themed game guarantees fun. It's not the most complex title available, but it’s certainly enjoyable and worth a try.
