Gameplay features and bonuses

Retro Sweets is a 6×9 slot game featuring a cluster pays system. Wins are achieved when five or more symbols form a cluster on the grid. This high-volatility game boasts an RTP of 96.49%, with alternate models also available.

Cascade: Winning symbols are removed, allowing new symbols to cascade down and fill the gaps. This creates opportunities for consecutive wins and further cascades.

Wild Candy: These symbols can substitute for any symbol except Sweet Collector, Instant Prize Multiplier, or Wild Multiplier symbols. They start with an x1 multiplier, increasing by 1 with each win. Wild Candies remain on the reels during cascades and only disappear when no more cluster wins occur.

Wild Multiplier: In both Free Spins and the base game, these symbols can have multipliers of x1, x2, x3, or x5. They boost the value of all Wild Candy symbols in view before transforming into an Instant Prize symbol.

Instant Prize: These symbols, bearing values from 1x to 1,000x, award wins when they form a cluster of at least five.

Instant Prize Multiplier: Available in both Free Spins and the base game, these symbols come with multipliers of x2, x5, or x10, enhancing the value of all Instant Prize symbols in view before transforming into an Instant Prize symbol.

Sweet Collector: This unique symbol can draw in a specific type of pay symbol or Instant Prize symbols to form a winning cluster. It can attract between 4 to 9 symbols, including Wild Candy symbols, and then transforms into a pay or Instant Prize symbol.

Cluster Link: This feature triggers instant wins when Instant Prizes form clusters on the grid, with the potential for chaining together for larger wins.

Free Spins: 3 to 6 Wild Candy symbols landing triggers 6 to 12 free spins. In this round, Wild Candy symbols and Instant Prize symbols from the base game are carried over, remaining in position. Each empty position in the Free Spins round can reveal:

• Blank symbol.
