Finn and the Candy Spin

You may need to brush your teeth after this one, Compadres.

NetEnt’s wee Irish fella is back on a sugary mission into the sweet world of Finn and the Candy Spin, featuring the leprechaun legend.

This is his third on-screen adventure!

Finn has a Sweet Tooth

We knew he enjoyed an ale, but it seems Finn is also partial to the chocs! NetEnt’s famous Swirly Spin mechanic is back over five reels and five rows with sweets and candies moving across the gaming grid in a spiral fashion. Finn hangs out to the side, keeping a careful watch on those delectable treats in this low to medium variance game of 96.62% RTP.

Look and Feel

NetEnt’s Finn and the Candy Spin is a leprechaun’s dream of mind-boggling sweets. Candies populate the reels with Finn in a playful purple suit with a golden bow tie and a candy cane for balance. The low-paying symbols are blue and green candies. Yellow, orange, red, and purple candies make up the higher payers. The wild symbols have glitzy top hats with a yellow ‘W’ splashed on them. This game is brighter than the Gears of Horus slot which is going some.

The Free Spins scatter is the golden, swirly key. Get these into the middle of the Swirl to get access to those four Free Spins candy worlds!

Features

Four enticing features can trigger across the reel set which should get you drooling like a labrador puppy:: Sugar Rush, Yeti Destroy, Candy Luck, and Pop Transform.

When the slot key travels around the reel grid, it sets off Free Spins with four different bonus screens to discover: Wild Sugar Hub, Ice-Cream Palace, Cotton Candy Lab, and Gumball Factory. Let’s head into Finn’s candy factory!

Finn and the Candy Spin GamePlay

The sweet treats swirl around the reels when you wager from 0.10 to 1,000.00. Finn looks on at the action to the left of the gameplay.

The famous  NetEnt mechanic, Swirly Spin, shunts symbols around in a spiral motion. When three or more symbols match up, they trigger a win, disappear, and kick off an Avalanche™, for potentially additional wins on the same turn.

The Swirly Spin mechanic was developed by NetEnt for the first game of the series in Finn and the Swirly Spin. The symbols on the reels are laid out in a spiral pattern starting at the bottom left corner and ending clockwise in the centre.

It’s Wild!

And there are plenty of wilds when Finn’s about. The Wild symbols stand in for all paying symbols except for the Free Spins (Key) symbol.

If a winning combination made up without Wilds disappears, a wild is placed where the win’s central symbol was.

If you match up symbols without relying on the wild symbols, you’ll get one wild upon payout. If you make up Wins with the wild symbols, they explode spectacularly and blow up adjacent symbols leaving empty spaces for the Avalanche mechanic to fill.

Random Finn and His Candies

At any time in the base game, one of four random features may trigger giving an additional sugar coating to the game.

Sugar Rush
Two to five wilds land at random on the Swirly Grid. If they do not make up part of a winning combination, new wilds arrive on the swirl at random until you get a win.

Yeti Destroy
A random number of symbols disappear from the Swirl, setting off an Avalanche, which will have at least one win. In the base game, it only triggers on no-win spins.

Candy Luck
A random row or reel is selected that does not contain a Key symbol where all symbols are changed into the identical random low-paying or high-paying symbol, setting off a win and then an Avalanche.

Pop Transform
We like this one! Finn changes all low-paying symbols on the Swirl to high-paying symbols! Thanks, Buddy!

Free Spins Bonus

Everyone likes free candies and Finn is no exception. In NetEnt’s Finn and the Candy Spin slot, the special key scatters trigger Free Spins.

A Free Spin Key scatter may land at random in the bottom left corner on any spin during the base game. As winning symbols disappear and the Avalanche mechanic loads in replacements, the key nudges along the Swirl. If the key gets to the middle of the Swirl, it opens the gates to the Free Spins and the Key Meter is set with the number one. Every new key you get boosts the key meter amount up to 999, which is displayed on your account.
