Finn and the Candy Spin Slot Information

The game’s design is inspired by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka is a fictional character from the children’s novel from 1964. In multiple films, Willy Wonka has been portrayed over the years, and Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp have starred as the eccentric candy lover. In this game, the reels are in the middle of the screen, with Finn, dressed as Willy Wonka, standing on the left. The Free Spins Key Meter is positioned to the right, and all remaining buttons are below the reels. You can play Finn and the Candy Spin on all mobile devices, desktops, and notepads. You create a winning combination by landing 3 or more of the same symbol types in a vertical or horizontal line anywhere in the reels; a win then activates the Avalanche feature.

The lower-paying symbols are blue and green candies. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays 4X. The higher-paying symbols are yellow, orange, red, and purple candies. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays between 8X and 50X.

The game's Wild Symbol is designed as a candyman with a “W” on it. The Free Spins Key symbol only appears in the Base Game and is placed in the bottom left corner of the reels at the start of every spin. This symbol can trigger the Free Spins feature when it reaches the center of the reels due to the Avalanche feature. The Free Spins Key Symbol can increase the Key Meter by 1 up to 999, and this meter cannot be reduced under the spins. Let’s find out what kind of features this game has to offer!

Finn and the Candy Spin Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot of Finn and the Candy Spin?

The max win is 336X the bet.

What features are available in the slot of Finn and the Candy Spin?

The features of this slot game are Avalanche, Wild Symbol, Random Features, and Bonus Games.

Avalanche

When you create a winning combination, this feature is activated. All the symbols that were part of the win disappear from the reels, and new symbols will appear in the bottom left corner. This continues as new wins are created, and all symbols move following the clockwise spiral pattern to fill the empty positions.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Free Spins Key Symbol and helps you create winning combinations. When 3, 4, or 5 Wild Symbols appear in a line, unable to create a winning combination with another symbol, the Wild Symbol is equal to the highest-paying symbol in the game.

When a win is created without a Wild Symbol, the winning symbols disappear, and a Wild Symbol is placed in the position that was the center of the winning combination. When a win is created with 1 or more Wild Symbols, each Wild Symbol will explode and destroy symbols adjacent to it vertically and horizontally, thereby triggering a more significant Avalance.

Random Features

4 different features can be randomly triggered during the Base Game. The features are Sugar Rush, Yeti Destroy, Candy Luck, and Pop Transform, which are activated after the initial spin and before the wins are paid out.

Sugar Rush = 2 to 5 Wild Symbols can appear in random positions on the reels, and if this doesn’t create a win, a new Wild Symbol will continue to appear until there is a win. Up to 10 Wild Symbols can be created during this feature.

Yeti Destry = This feature will randomly destroy up to 19 random symbols, causing an Avalanche that is guaranteed to result in at least one winning combination. This feature can only be randomly activated in the Base Game if there are no wins on the reels.

Candy Luck = When this feature is activated, all symbols on a random row or reel that doesn't contain the Free Spins Key Symbol are transformed into the same paying symbol, creating a win and Avalanche. This feature can only be triggered if there are no wins on the reels.

Pop Transform = This feature will transform all lower-paying symbols on the reels into higher-paying symbols. Higher-paying symbols are chosen separately for each lower-paying symbol.

Bonus Games

The Free Spins feature is activated when the Free Spins Key Symbol reaches the center of the reels due to the Swirly Spin Mechanic in this game. You are then presented with a Free Spins World where you can choose one of the available Free Spins features, and each feature becomes available when the Key Meter reaches a specific number. The total win from the Free Spins feature is added to any wins from the triggering round. Read more about the 4 Free Spins in the following sections.

Wild Sugar Hub

Ice Cream Palace

Activating this feature awards 3 Free Spins, and the Yeti Destroy feature is activated once per Free Spin when there are no wins. A Sticky Wild Symbol appears in the bottom left corner, and the Yeti Destroy feature cannot destroy this symbol and is not removed when it is part of a winning combination. This feature requires at least 4 Keys to be chosen.

Cotton Candy Lab

This feature awards 4 Free Spins, and the Candy Luck feature is activated during the start of each Free Spin after the initial spin and before the winning payout. This feature requires at least 9 Keys to be chosen.

Finn and the Candy Spin Slot Conclusion

This game provides an action-packed slot experience where you meet the character Finn again. We have met Leprechaun Finn in games like Finn and the Swirly Spin and Finn’s Golden Tavern. All these games share the same Swirly Spin mechanics that fill the grid in a clockwise spiraling pattern from the outer parts to the inner central position. We like Finn; he gives the game a fun backstory, and would be proud of the well-designed game. The music is dreamy and fits the theme, and the sound effects create a fun atmosphere for playing slots.

The stats of this game are okay, and the RTP by default, is above average. This game is created with several RTPs, and players should always check the RTP before playing because a lower RTP can worsen the win conditions. The max win of 336X is lower than we expected but is on the same level as the other releases with the same Swirly Spin mechanics. If NetEnt wants players to come back to this game, they should reconsider the max win. With that said, if you are fond of frequent but lower wins, this game should suit you just fine. The slot is stacked with random features that accelerate the Avalanche and move the Free Spins Key Symbol closer to the center of the reels, thereby triggering the Free Spins features. We liked the random Yeti Destroy feature that guarantees a win and destroys up to 19 symbols on the reels. The Free Spins feature consists of 4 different options, and each alternative carries one of the random features. We appreciate the interplay between the features in this game, and this slot should attract players who like a fun theme and low-risk play.

Finn and the Candy Spin is a slot that provides the return of the Swirl Spin mechanic and offers a wide range of Random Features and 4 different Free Spins features.
