- A candy-themed game with a new mechanic
- Each win shifts the reels and can add multipliers
- Huge win potential but features aren’t too exciting
Candyfinity slot from Yggdrasil is a new game with a brand new mechanic that looks to tackle the infinity reels mechanic used in some other slots for the past couple of years now. It works differently by shifting reels instead, and we’ll be sure to take a closer look at it shortly. Yggdrasil have gone with a colourful candy theme here with a mixture of fruit and sweet symbols. You start off with 6 reels and 3 rows to give you 729 ways to win. Just look out for the base symbols that are ranked in ascending order as follows:
- Green or Blue Chip
- Purple or Red Chip
- Watermelon
- Orange
- Blue Sweet
- Red Sweet

Candyfinity Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. There is a wild symbol as well, like you might expect, that substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the bonus symbol. It is shown as a candy cane.
Winning Steaks. In this game, whenever you get a win, it creates a winning streak. This will hold all winning symbols in place and sift the reels right, respinning reel 1. This new reel will expand the number of symbols to 4 high, all the way up to 6 high for more wins if the streak continues. Additionally, if you have a win of 6 or more symbols, a win multiplier will apply, starting at 2x and increasing by 1x for each additional win after that. If you get 2 bonus symbols in view, this will create or continue a streak spin on reel 1 even if there are no other wins available.
Free Spins Bonus. In order to trigger this, you need 3, 4, 5 or 6 free spins symbols, giving you 6, 8, 10 or 12 free spins, respectively. It’s not possible to retrigger the bonus and bonus symbols are not in play during the bonus. You do, however, have a chance to gamble for more free spins but if you lose, the whole bonus will end. It’s not available if you trigger the bonus with 6 bonus symbols.
Golden Bet. You can increase your stake in this game in order to increase your chances of triggering the free spins bonus.
Conclusion
Yggdrasil have had a crack at the infinity reels mechanic with this new game, Candyfinity. Rather than add a new reel every time you get a win, without limits, reels just shift to the right which I think works well. Multipliers are also in play here and you can expect some big wins with a win potential up to 38,837x available. Unfortunately there aren’t really many features in this game though, and the free spins bonus doesn’t really offer anything different which is a shame. That being said, it’s nice to see a new mechanic here and one that works well in my opinion, so hopefully we’ll see more games like this from the developer in the future with additional features to spice things up.
