About Candy Stars

A stripped-back, disco-tinted presentation sets Candy Stars apart from Pragmatic Play's more heavily dressed candy slots, running across a 5x3 grid topped by an extra three-symbol reel that spins on its own axis. Wins read left to right across the layout on 20 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel.

Card royals from J to A make up the low pay symbols, worth 1x to 1.5x the stake for five in a row, while four candy icons sit above them as the high pays, returning 2x to 7.5x for the same five-symbol line. Wilds substitute for any regular symbol and only ever land on the top row, where they carry a multiplier that grows the longer they stay in play.

The Tumble Feature runs through both the base game and free spins: every winning combination clears from the board, the symbols above fall to fill the gaps, and the process repeats for as long as a new win keeps forming. Wilds on the top row are sticky rather than one-spin symbols, so they stay put through every tumble instead of clearing with the rest of the board, carrying a multiplier that starts at x1 and climbs by +1 with each tumble, up to a ceiling of x128, applying to any win that passes through them.

Three diamond scatters landing on reels one, three and five trigger 8 free spins. During the round, one sticky wild is guaranteed on the top row every spin, now starting its multiplier at x2 and doubling it — rather than adding to it — after each tumble, again capped at x128. Landing three more scatters mid-round adds a further five free spins.

Free spins can also be bought outright for 80x the total stake, a purchase that caps the game's maximum available RTP at 96.26%.

Candy Stars carries a high volatility rating, a default RTP of 96.47% alongside 95.02% and 94.31% alternate configurations, and hit frequency quoted at 1 in 3.33. Stakes range from 0.20 to 100 per spin.
