Psycho Candies

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who have played Candy Crush Saga at least once and those who won’t admit it. That game is addictive and relaxing at the same time, and it does bring back great memories from your childhood when candy was one of the main worries in life. 

Psycho Candies is a video slot that is inspired by that mobile game. The main visual difference is that the candies have some weird-looking pairs of eyes. 

But can this title be as good as its source of inspiration? 

Well, it can definitely become equally addictive. There’s something about colourful candy that makes us want to stick around. 

Theme

This is quite clearly a product that was designed by a Candy Crush Saga fan, everything about it reminds us of the extremely successful mobile game. The symbols are all drawn from that source, they are not identical but everybody will recognize them. 

The music and sound effects that accompany the gameplay are also almost identical to the ones you can hear in Candy Crush Saga. The general feeling when playing this slot is the same that you get in the mobile game, the only difference is that in Psycho Candies you can win money, not points and level-ups. 

Betting Options and Functions

The game has a 6x6 setup, and the symbols are all inspired from Candy Crush. There’s the red banana-shaped candy, the spherical blue one, and the square green piece of candy as well. There are no traditional paylines, you win when at least four identical symbols are in adjacent tiles. 

Moreover, when you get a winning combo the identical symbols disappear and the ones above them drop and rearrange, exactly like in Candy Crush. That can lead to cascade wins, which trigger a multiplier. 

With each winning combination you will see the cauldrons above the reels start to fill, when they do you will be in for a special treat. 

The theoretical return to player (RTP) of this product is 97.5%, which is higher than average, and the volatility is medium. The maximum payout is 5,000 times your bet. 

Features

There are quite a few features in this game, and all of them are incredibly exciting. Let’s get into details: 

• Bonus Game

When you match a combination of bonus symbols you get into another dimension of the game. You get to choose between 2 to 5 jellies, depending on how many bonus symbols you had when you triggered the bonus game. Each of those picks will reveal a cash value, and you will receive the sum of all the candies you have chosen. 

• Bomb

There’s a candy-bomb symbol in the game, and if you land at least four of them sticking together in one spin that will cause an explosion on the board. The bigger the explosion, the higher your reward. 

• Free Spins

You can get free spins either when you get a combo of at least four free spin symbols, or on the Jackpot Wheel (more about that later). Every free spin increases the cascading multiplier by one. 

• Boss Fighting

When one of the cauldrons above the reels get filled, you will be taken to fight the boss of that particular candy sortiment. In the Boss Fighting game you get to match symbols exactly like in the base game, and whenever you do the monster takes another hit. When you defeat it, the Jackpot Wheel awaits! 

• Jackpot Wheel

There’s a five-tier reward system on the wheel, from “common” to “mythical”. The most you can get is 2,000 times your bet, but there are also up to 22 free spins up for grabs. 

Conclusion

Psycho Candies by Gluck Games is definitely a video slot that you will remember once you get to play it. The game does succeed in replicating the feeling that you can have while playing Candy Crush, but it also succeeds in taking everything a step further. 

The features are numerous and exciting, and they add to the fun that you will surely have in the base game. After all, there are hundreds of millions of people playing Candy Crush all over the world and there must be a good reason for that.
