Introduction to Gobstopper Grind

Gobstopper Grind is a casino slot from Bullshark Games that features a positive vibe and light updates to familiar gameplay. Here, we’re offered Cell Multipliers that are triggered whenever they are part of a winning combination and added together before being applied. We’ve seen these potentially lucrative Cell Multipliers in popular games such as the Sugar Rush series, which remains a fan favourite for its win potential. Bullshark Games has made its own version, adding a scatter pays mechanic and a Collector Symbol, providing a chance to gather Cell Multipliers and boost the win potential. We enjoyed testing this game, offering sharp visuals and a friendly vibe. Even though the gameplay is familiar to previous Cell Multiplier games, it stands out thanks to lucrative updates. Let’s put a coin in the gumball machine and see what the Gobstopper Grind demo offers.

Theme, Gameplay, & Payouts

Gobstopper Grind is a video slot by Bullshark Games that features 6 reels and 5 rows.  Due to the scatter pays mechanic, this game has no traditional paylines. Instead, a winning combination is created by landing 8 or more of the same symbol type anywhere on the reels. You can select bet sizes ranging from 0.1 to 100, with a default RTP of 96.27%, which is regarded as slightly above industry average. However, operators can choose the lower option of 94.24% as well. This game has medium volatility and offers potential wins of up to 10,000X your bet.

The game’s design is based on a friendly candy theme, where the smiling gumball machine watches over you when you spin the 6x5 game grid. If you want to boost the gaming experience for a cost, activate the Feature Buy button on the left side. All other buttons, including the Spin and Bet Size, can be found below the reels. You can play Gobstopper Grind on all mobile devices, desktops, and notepads. You create a winning combination by landing 8 or more of the same symbol type anywhere on the reels, triggering the Cascade.

The lower-paying symbols are club, diamond, spade, and heart. Landing 19+ of the same symbol type pays between 40X and 50X. The higher-paying symbols are a blue candy, a green candy, a donut, and a cupcake. Landing 19+ of the same symbol type pays between 80X and 150X

The Scatter Symbol is a gumball machine with the text “Scatter,” and landing 3 or more will trigger the Bonus Game. The Collector Symbol is a golden Cupcake that collects the values of Cell Multipliers from adjacent cells whenever it lands in view. Let’s find out what kind of features this game has to offer.

What features are available in the slot of Gobstopper Grind?

The features of this slot game are Cascade, Cell Multipliers, Collector, Bonus Games, and Feature Buy.

Cell Multipliers persistent
Bonus Game

Cascade

The Cascade feature is activated when a win is created, and the winning symbols will be removed from the reels. New symbols will fall from above and allow new winning combinations; this will continue as long as new winning combinations are created.

Cell Multipliers

All reel positions on the game grid have inactivated Cell Multipliers. Whenever a winning combination is created on the reels, the winning symbols activate the corresponding Cell Multiplier that increases by +1X for each win they are part of. 

The cell multiplier is applied to any wins involving the cell, and multiple cells are added together before the value is applied to the win. Cell Multipliers are progressive during the Cascades but will reset with each new spin. They can reach a maximum value of 100,000X.

Collector

The Collector Symbol is a golden cupcake that collects the values of Cell Multipliers from all adjacent cells whenever it lands on the reels. It adds the value to the cell’s multiplier it landed on. However, all collected Cell Multipliers keep their values.

The Collector Symbol also acts as a regular-paying symbol after the collecting process is complete.

Bonus Games

This feature can be triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels during the Base Game.

Candy Haul

This Bonus Game can be triggered by landing 3 Scatter Symbols, awarding 10 Free Spins. Whenever a Scatter Symbol lands in view, you get a +1 additional Free Spin.

This feature keeps the Base Game mechanics, but the Cell Multipliers are progressive, which means their values don’t reset until the feature ends.

Jawbreaker Overload

This Bonus Game can be triggered by landing 4 Scatter Symbols, awarding 10 Free Spins. Whenever a Scatter Symbol lands in view, you get a +1 additional Free Spin.

This feature offers the same mechanics as the Candy Haul, but all Cell Multipliers have a starting value of 1X.

Feature Buy

If you want to take advantage of the Bonus Game immediately, you can use the feature buy option:

3X (Bonushunt Featurespins) = Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a Bonus Game. Played with high volatility and an RTP of 96.26%.

50X (Grab and Go Featurespins) = All Cell Multipliers start at 1X, and at least one Collector Symbol is guaranteed to land. Played with high volatility and an RTP of 96.29%.

100X (Candy Haul) = Activates the Junkyard Jive. Played with high volatility and an RTP of 96.27%.

200X (Jawbreaker Overload) = Activates the Rule of Yard. Played with high volatility and an RTP of 96.34%.

Final Thoughts on Gobstopper Grind

Welcome to another Cell Multiplier release from Bullshark Games, this time with a friendly candy vibe and sweet soundtrack. We recently got Junkyard Kings 2 from Bullshark Games, also with Cell Multipliers, but packed with Wild Symbols.

In terms of gameplay, it's similar to Sweet Rush Bonanza from Pragmatic Play, offering scatter pays mechanic, cascading wins, and Cell Multipliers. However, Bullshark Games has included small tweaks to the gameplay, which makes this game stand on its own. The Collector Symbol is the game’s highlight, and whenever it lands in view, it collects the value of adjacent Cell Multipliers, boosting the win potential in both the Base and Bonus Games.

Overall, this is a familiar gaming experience with features similar to those of the popular Sugar Rush series. However, thanks to a lovely vibe and lucrative gameplay updates, it offers a fresh take on a popular format.

Gobstopper Grind follows a popular gameplay structure, but thanks to its strong visuals and Collector Symbols, it makes a good alternative.
