Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st Review
It's been a while since we reviewed Slingo games but that doesn't mean they've stopped releasing new titles. The problem with the format is that is does get a little bit samey which is fine but games need to evolve to stay interesting. Fortunately the developers at Gaming Realms are more than happy to evolve their star game and continually add new twists to the format. One of the latest additions is called Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st. The premise of the game is the same as every other Slingo version but to create those lines Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st includes a gem games style format. But is it a blast or is this candy-coated adventure just a tad too sickly sweet?
Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination is the perfect soundtrack to Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st because the backdrop to this game is pure Willy Wonka. The candy world includes large lollipops and gummy bears in the trees. The overall look is perfect for the theme although the boat on the pink river looks weirdly out of scale. The usual 5x5 Slingo grid is set within the Candy Machine that occupies the centre of the screen. Below the main grid is the line of reels which generates the numbers on each spin. To the right of the screen you'll find the play button alongside options to change your wager, the number of spins that you have left and a button to get information about how to play the game.
How To Play Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st
To play Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st you first need to set your wager. After that it's simply a case of spinning the reels to generate numbers. The numbers on the reel correspond to those on the grid and if they match then they're crossed off. In an average Slingo game that would be all there is to it, but Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st has a twist. When you match a number then a candy is revealed behind the number. Unmarked numbers adjacent to this also then reveal random candies hidden behind them. If you match two or more candies then more squares are revealed until there are no more matches. Any squares with matched candies then become stars and are marked off on the grid. To help you create winning lines wilds, super wilds and extra spin icons will sometimes appear on the reels. However there's also a joker symbol which negates that square during your turn.
Winning With Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st
There are two ways to win with Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st. Firstly creating Slingo lines will give you the chance to win up to x250 your wager. You need to create a minimum of 4 winning lines during your round in order to win at least a x1 win. However there's another way to win with Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st. When the candies rotate you can win if enough matching icons are shown. If you match 4 candies for example then that results in a x1 win whilst all 20 candies somehow turning on the same play and being identical would net you a x100 win. We'd love to know the odds of that event actually occurring. In the base game you only have five spins plus any free spins earnt, but you can also wager on up to x40 spins. Slingo now have some options you can set pre-game to limit how much you wager or lose per round. These are worth setting if you're inclined to wager on in search of Slingos!
Our Verdict
Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st is an interesting twist on the Slingo format. The candies blast element when things go well can see a large number of squares become dabbed from just one spin! However that's a rarity and quite often the five assigned spins are not enough to generate one Slingo line let alone four or more. We did wonder whether there was any strategy to Slingo Candy Machine Bl4st by remembering the candies behind numbers that don't end up being dabbed during a play. However the candies vary from turn to turn so that put paid to that idea very quickly. Overall it's a colourful game and enjoyable to play. Gaming Realms have done will to add another twist to the format and it'll be interesting to see the innovations that they come up with next.
