Candy Blast (Push Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

The Candy Blast Slot Game

I put Candy Blast through its paces on a 6x5 grid with scatter pays. Wins land when eight or more matching symbols appear anywhere, then cascades clear them and drop new ones. A Total Multiplier sits to the left, doubling with each consecutive win up to 2,048x before resetting. Stakes run from 10p to £100, and there’s a Push Bet toggle that doubles the wager to raise the feature hit rate. It’s high variance with a headline RTP of 96.34%.

The theme leans into sweets and cakes on a candy island, but the layout is clean and quick to learn. I found the interface responsive on mobile and desktop, with the multiplier ladder always visible. Scatter pays suit short sessions, while cascades keep the round flowing. Nothing fussy in the controls either, so it’s easy to set bets, check the paytable, and crack on. It plays smoothly, which matters when the ladder starts stepping up during win streaks.

Symbols and Payouts in Candy Blast

Nine pay symbols keep it simple. Five coloured candies are the lows, then two cakes and two cupcakes make up the premiums. Payouts use three bands for 8–9, 10–11, and 12+ matches. For 12+ of a kind, candies top out at around 2x to 6x the bet, while cakes and cupcakes scale to roughly 8x, 10x, 20x, and as high as 50x. There’s no wild. Special icons include Rainbow Cupcake scatters, a pink numbered multiplier symbol, and the Extra Life symbol.

Candy Blast Slot Bonus Features

The Total Multiplier applies to every win. It starts at 1x in the base game and doubles with each winning cascade up to 2,048x, then resets when a tumble fails. To speed the climb, a pink cotton candy symbol with 1–5 steps can land and increase the ladder by that many rungs when a win occurs. I rate this combo highly, as it keeps value in view on every drop and rewards streaks rather than one-off hits.

Extra Life comes into play on a dead cascade. It wipes all paying symbols, except the most common one, while leaving scatters and the pink numbered icon in place. If two types tie for frequency, the slot keeps the higher-paying option. A fresh fall follows, which often lines up another count of the held symbol. In practice, I’ve seen it rescue runs that were about to stall, giving the ladder another shot at stepping up.

Free spins trigger from three or more Rainbow Cupcakes. You get 8, 10, or 12 spins with starting multipliers of 2x, 4x, or 8x. The ladder resets to the lowest step at the start of each spin, and any scatter that lands adds +1 spin. After three consecutive winning cascades, Multiplier Strike Out removes the last active step for the rest of the round, except 2,048x. There’s a Feature Buy at 150x or 750x the bet, and Push Bet helps hunt the bonus.

How to Win at Candy Blast Slot

You’re aiming for clusters of eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid; positions don’t have to touch. Set your wager within 10p to £100, decide whether to toggle Push Bet, and press spin. When a win lands, symbols vanish, new ones fall, and the Total Multiplier may climb. I tend to watch the ladder and adjust stake size to my bankroll, as the longer cascades run, the more the math can swing a round.

If the option is available, Feature Buy lets you jump straight into free spins with an initial ladder step of 2x or 8x. I reserve that for sessions where I’m targeting bonus play rather than base game rhythm. The slot’s scatter pays keep frequent checks for 8+ hits, so it pays to scan the board state quickly. On mobile, the controls are straightforward, with paytable, bet select, and spin all easy to reach with a thumb.

Candy Blast Slot RTP & Volatility

By default, Candy Blast runs on a 96.34% RTP model, though some sites may use a lower setting. It’s a high volatility slot with a capped payout of 10,000x the stake, and the doubling ladder is the lever that gets you there. In my sessions, base game streaks can whipsaw, so I size stakes for swings rather than steady drips. Push Bet slightly alters the maths while upping feature frequency, so weigh that toggle against your budget.

Final Thoughts on Candy Blast

As a scatter pays grid slot, Candy Blast hits that sweet spot where simple rules meet sharp multipliers. I like how the ladder doubles on each tumble and how the pink numbered symbol can step it along by up to five. Extra Life has proper utility, cleaning the board to set up another crack at a run. When the free spins arrive, Strike Out thins the ladder, so climbing to the top feels far more realistic.

The top prize is pegged at 10,000x, and the package runs well across mobile and desktop. The maths is punchy, so I treat it with respect, but the hit rhythm is clear and the feature set is tight. If you like scatter pays with a doubling ladder and extra symbols that can keep a round alive, this one is worth a spin. I’ll be back for more runs when I fancy a no-fuss candy theme.
