Who will be crowned Candy Island Princess? Honey, Coco and Cookie are in line to the jelly throne but only you can decide the winner. Enter the competition with this 3-reel, 3-column slot with 5 paylines.

Designed by what I assume is a teenage boy discovering the world of subservient female manga characters, this slot brings in the summer vibes. The theme does have a lively, fun-filled feel to it. There are vibrant colours, a cheerful soundtrack and some playful FX.

Candy Island Princess Highlights

  • Max. win: The maximum win of Candy Island Princess is 2200 x your bet.
  • Bonus game or special game: Candy Island Princess has a separate bonus feature.
  • Freespins: You can get in-game free spins in Candy Island Princess.
  • Re-spins: Re-spins make the reels spin again without having to place an additional bet.
  • Scatter symbols: Collect scatter symbols to get free spins and/or cash prizes.

Symbols

All symbols are vibrantly designed. High-paying symbols are characterised by the three protagonists drawn in anime style. The low-paying symbols are drawn as yummy-looking candies.

The symbols, from highest to the lowest consist of:

  • The scatter tile is the backstage pass. Three tiles will start the bonus round with 8 free spins.
  • Cookie the brunette yields 6x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • Coco the purple-haired girl yields 4x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • Honey the blonde yields 2x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The round orange gummy yields 0.8x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The pink heart gummy yields 0.6x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The purple diamond gummy yields 0.4x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.
  • The green star gummy yields 0.2x with 3-of-a-kind on a payline.

Whenever any of the girls appear on a payline the bet amount is won with the Mixed-Wins feature.

Features

  • Candy Splash Expanding reels

During the base game, landing three matching tiles of any one of the contestants will expand the reels giving a 10x win for Honey, 20x win for Coco and 30x win for Cookie.

  • Super Mega Fantastic Free Spins

Three tickets will trigger the bonus round awarding the player 8 free spins. During the base game, landing two tickets will also trigger a free respin for a chance to land the 3rd ticket.

Once in the bonus round any contestant, be it Cookie, Coco or Honey, or any payline will expand on the reels. Contestants on two paylines mean the tiles will expand twice. On the 8th spin, the tickets are once again inserted within the mix of tiles and the player can retrigger another 8 spins if they land the 3 tickets.

At the end of the round, the Jingle Jelly Delight will ask the player to choose 1 of 3 jellies. In one of the jellies lays an x2 multiplier which will double the winnings of the bonus round.

  • Behind the Scenes

Three cameras on the reels will trigger the Behind the Scenes feature showing the player some saucy images each with a multiplier from 5x up to 2,000x.

Conclusion

In the past year, it felt like Play’n GO were releasing hit after hit. It looked like they could do no wrong until this slot came along, I guess. Apart from the niche category of players who might be into soft hentai (ok I guess there are many of those), this slot doesn’t bring anything else to the table.

Its mild volatility means there aren’t any big wins to chase. The highest yield possibility can be found in the Behind the Scenes feature where you can win up to 2,000x. The wins on the base game go up to 10x and sometimes (rarely) up to 30x but that’s about it. The Free Spins round too comes with disappointing wins even though there is a potential max win of 2,200x.

There are only so many times you can hear “Let’s get Sticky” shouted out by the presenter of this jelly contest before you get bored and start rolling your eyes.

Pros

  • Vibrant and lively theme: The Candy Island Princess slot features vibrant colors, a cheerful soundtrack, and playful FX that create a fun-filled atmosphere.
  • Expanding reels feature: The Candy Splash Expanding reels can lead to bigger wins with multipliers up to 30x for matching character tiles.
  • Free spins and re-spins: The game offers free spins through the Super Mega Fantastic Free Spins feature and re-spins, giving players more opportunities to win.
  • Unique bonus features: Behind the Scenes and Jingle Jelly Delight features can provide significant multipliers and enhance the gameplay experience.

Cons

  • Potentially offensive theme: The slot’s theme, which seems to be designed by “a teenage boy discovering the world of subservient female manga characters,” might not appeal to everyone and could be seen as offensive to some.
  • Limited paylines: With only 5 paylines, the game might not provide as many winning combinations as other slots with more paylines.
  • Low-paying symbols: Some of the symbols, such as the candy symbols, have relatively low payouts, which may not be very appealing to players seeking high rewards.
