Candy Boom (3 Oaks Gaming (Booongo)) – Review & Demo Play

Candy Boom - Game Overview

Candy Boom from Booongo, also known under 3 Oaks Gaming, runs on a 6x5 setup with pays anywhere and a tumbling Jelly Cascade. I play it for the brisk cycle of hits and cascades, backed by high volatility and a 95.52% RTP. Payouts come from the count of matching sweets on screen rather than fixed lines. The top potential reaches around x7223, which sits well for a high risk session where streaks can swing quickly between dry spells and sweet runs.

The theme leans into jelly, lollies, and chocolate muffins, and the audio sits nicely during longer sessions. I like how the grid clears and refills after each win, keeping the pace up. The pays anywhere model fits the candy spread, so it feels natural when symbols pop and drop in waves. It is a straight layout with clear feedback, which helps when you are hunting bigger chains and gauging if a round is worth pressing for the feature.

Destructible Symbols in Candy Boom

Winning symbols blow up and kick off a cascade. New sweets then fall into the gaps, forming fresh combinations when they land right. This cycle repeats until the grid stops making wins. I like that it keeps the round flowing and gives extra chances off a single spin. Scatter symbols stand apart from this, so they stay on the reels while the rest clears. Pays are counted by total matching symbols on screen, regardless of where they sit.

Wins pay anywhere, which means the slot counts how many identical icons appear on the 6x5 board and pays against that tally. Position does not matter. I find this style handy for reading the grid at a glance, as you are aiming for totals rather than lines. The flow is simple. Land enough matching sweets, get paid, watch them pop, then hope the refill links into the next set.

The scatter is key. It can land on all reels and pays regardless of position. In base play I track scatters while the cascades run, as they are not destroyed and can sit through multiple drops. That gives a fair shot at the bonus when the grid starts stacking in your favour. It keeps the main game from feeling flat during dry spells, as any refill can nudge the fourth scatter into view.

From a player view, I focus on boards where larger clusters of the same colour start to group, as that often points to totals of 10 or 12 plus after a couple of falls. The model rewards big sets rather than neat patterns, so I do not chase near misses on lines. If the spread looks thin after the first drop, I reset my expectations for that round and wait for a better setup.

Free Spins in Candy Boom

Four or more scatters in the main game trigger 10 free spins. During free spins, landing three or more scatters adds five extra spins. I rate this feature as the moment where the maths opens up. The base can stack scatters nicely thanks to the way they stick through cascades, so you often feel the build coming before it hits. Once in, I aim for depth, as extra spins keep the grid rolling and line up the bigger shots.

There is a Buy Feature priced at x100 of the current bet. I use it when the base has cooled off and I want a direct run at the bonus cycle. It is a high risk approach, but the game is built for it. You are paying to reach the better script where the key add-ons are live, so I only buy when the bankroll can carry a few attempts and the session needs a spark.

Multiplier Symbol in Candy Boom

Multipliers appear only during free spins, with values from x2 up to x100, and up to six can land on any reels in one sequence. After a Jelly Cascade ends, all the multiplier values on screen are added, then the total win from that cascade is multiplied by the final sum. This is where the slot can leap. I watch for a decent chain first, then hope a chunky rainbow shows to cap it off.

Symbols and Paytable for Candy Boom

Scatter pays hit across the board. Six scatters pay x50, five scatters pay x10, four scatters pay x2. They can land on all reels, and their payout does not depend on any line or position. In play, I value seeing early scatters stick through cascades, as that sets up the fourth. It is a simple table, easy to track on the fly, and it pairs well with the pays anywhere model.

Top regular pays run high on larger sets. For the best candy, 12 pays x50, 10–11 pays x25, 8–9 pays x5. The next tier pays 12+ x20, 10–11 x7.5, 8–9 x2.5. Another tier sits at 12+ x15, 10–11 x5, 8–9 x2. These figures line up with the push for bigger totals, so I judge boards by how likely they are to grow into 10 or 12 plus after one or two drops.

Lower tiers fill out the grid. You get 12+ x12.5, 10–11 x2.5, 8–9 x1.5. Then 12+ x10, 10–11 x1.5, 8–9 x1. Next is 12+ x7.5, 10–11 x1.25, 8–9 x0.75. Then 12+ x5, 10–11 x1, 8–9 x0.5. Then 12+ x3, 10–11 x0.75, 8–9 x0.4. The last tier pays 12+ x2, 10–11 x0.5, 8–9 x0.25. It is all about volume.
