Candy Dreams Sweet Planet Review

We've seen numerous sweets-themed games that make up a separate niche in the slots world, yet slot providers don't seem to stop and keep coming up with more and more sugary titles. Candy Dreams Sweet Planet is the latest addition to the genre, once again taking players to the magical land of candies, lollipops, and marshmallows. However, don't get confused by the charming surface. Despite the cute look, the game is loaded with many powerful features, and should they kick in, rewards up to 22,000x the stake become available for the players.

You might say that Candy Dreams Sweet Planet looks quite similar to Sweet Bonanza and you would be right, even though it's actually a follow-up to the original Candy Dreams slot that had been released over a year before the legendary Pragmatic Play slot hit the market. It has a fancier outer look, but once you take a peek under the hood you'll quickly notice they have much fewer differences. It becomes obvious that Evoplay has 'drawn inspiration' from Sweet Bonanza, as the features laid down here are nearly the same, and the same goes for the math model. It's a pity though that the developers have taken such a lazy approach since the original Candy Dreams sported somewhat different gameplay with unique mechanics, while there's hardly anything left in the Sweet Planet edition that reminds you of the first part.

Candy Dreams Sweet Planet Slot - Reel Screen

The Candy Dreams Sweet Planet slot plays across a large 6x5 grid with no paylines, meaning that matching symbols pay anywhere on the reels, and they don't necessarily have to be adjacent. 8+ symbols award a win and trigger a tumble - the winning symbols explode and get removed from the grid, allowing new ones to drop down and fill empty spaces. The process goes on until there are no more wins in view. The paytable consists of 9 regular symbols, including 5 lower-paying planets and 4 higher-paying candies of different shapes and colors. Combinations of 12+ symbols pay from 2x to 50x your bet.

The slot comes with a betting range of €0.1 to €500 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and casual players. However, higher bets are possible with the Double Chance feature, which you can activate while in the base game to double the chance of triggering the bonus, as more Scatter symbols will appear on the reels. That will increase your current bet by a coefficient of 1.2x, as well as slightly boost the RTP from standard 96% to 96.08%. The volatility is in the medium-high range, and the maximum possible prize is 22,000x the bet.

Candy Dreams Sweet Planet Slot Features

Candy Dreams Sweet Planet relies heavily on the Free Spins feature, which is where most wins come from. Look out for lollipop Scatter symbols during the base game, which can appear on any reel. Landing 4 or more Scatters awards 10 free games, plus a cash prize of 3x, 5x, or 100x the stake depending on the number of triggering symbols. You can also extend the feature by landing 3 or more Scatters on the reels during the bonus, which gives +5 additional spins.

Once you enter the bonus game, new Bomb symbols come into play. These are bonus symbols that land with a random Multiplier value from 2x to 100x and stay on the reels for the current cascading sequence. When there are no more wins in view, the value of all Bomb symbols in view is added together and applied to the win.

Review Summary

While the Candy Dreams Sweet Planet slot looks quite charming at first sight, you'll quickly notice it has hardly anything new for players to offer once you get past the looks and proceed to the gameplay. It's basically a bonafide copy of the iconic Sweet Bonanza slot, with the major difference being the outer look. Aside from that, everything is taken from Sweet Bonanza, including the features and even the max win. Is there a reason why you should switch to this one? Probably not, especially considering Candy Dreams Sweet Planet offers a lower return percentage.
