Candy Links Bonanza

Playing online slot games might be all about winning dosh for most players. However, some enjoy something a little unique when taking to the reels of a brand new release. Today, our casino site is going behind the scenes of a slot that might have a very common look and feel, but has a feature you might not have seen before – providing you’re unfamiliar with the iGaming studio. It’s called Candy Links Bonanza, and we’ll explain how the Hurricane Links feature can make it rain cash for you, as well as letting you in on other bonus features such as the free spins when making the title work for you. 

So, in case you’ve never heard of Hurricane Games, they’re the casino software studio that created Candy Links Bonanza. The look is very similar to that of Candy Crush, which has been around for ages, and it can't really be said that the graphics are impressive in any way, shape or form. However, we suspect this was never the intention by the house that is fresh off the recent release of Ultra Joker. One thing that might stick out to you is that to the left of the paytable lies another set of 5 reels x 5 rows with a colourful wheel in the centre. This is the core feature of Candy Links Bonanza, which we’ll explain a little later.

This might look like a slot that uses cascading reels and cluster pays, but it actually just uses a traditional spinning mechanic. There are 3,125 lines on which 5 of a kind wins can form, which is quite a high number for not being a Megaways title. As with all online casino games, wagering higher returns bigger wins, but you'll be able to decide what size bets are best for you with a wagering window from 20p per spin to £20 per spin. The maximum win amount is really respectable in Candy Links Bonanza, being 8,500x your bet if you’re lucky enough to manage it.

If anything, the theme that Hurricane Games has gone with means that the symbols are all a bit different. There are no stereotypical lower-paying icons such as playing card royals or suits. However, what this ends up doing is making all the symbols look the same, so it's not easy to tell what size the wins are. The symbols are an extensive selection of sweets. However, the ones – from smallest value to highest – that you'll want to land most often is the heart, the dark blue and yellow star sweets for the maximum returns.

There’s a wild symbol that substitutes all symbols besides the scatter or the coins in order to help create 3, 4 or 5 of a kind winning combos. 

Let's explain Hurricane Links. Landing coins with values on the reels, while you play will see the coins get transferred to a corresponding space on the reel set to the left. When enough coins are transferred to create a 5 of a kind win – horizontal, vertical, diagonal – then that value is paid to you, and there's a reset. If the winning combination includes the colourful wheel in the centre, then the Wheel of Fortune triggers. This sees you start spinning a Mini Wheel, which awards multipliers or an 'upgrade', which takes you to the Major Wheel. There are bigger multipliers here and another upgrade pocket that takes you to the most valuable wheel – the Grand Wheel – for the biggest multipliers.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters will award you 10, 15 or 20 free spins. There are multipliers here, too, which will come to you via landing wild symbols during the free spins. Landing 2 scatters in regular play awards two respins, where symbols are held to increase chances on those respins.

There’s plenty of chances to win in Candy Links Bonanza. For some reason, the theme gives the impression that there won’t be much going on, but it’s quite the opposite. This title might just join the ranks of this year’s top casino games that you have to play. For a better idea of what we're saying, try it out in demo mode, as you can play online slots.
