Retro Sweets Features

As is the tradition with grid slots, there are no pay lines to mention and instead, you can land wins when clusters of at least five are touching horizontally or vertically. There are six regular symbols with various payouts starting with the least valuable purple sweet and finishing with the orange and red sweets. These two have a 500x payout for a group of 17+ matching symbols. Winning symbols trigger a cascade and new symbols fall down to replace them.

You may be wondering why there are so few regular paying symbols and the answer is that there are many other special symbols to fit into the equation. Let's start with the Wild Candy symbol as this is the one you will see the most. It will substitute for other regular paying symbols and also contains a multiplier value that increases each time it is part of a winning combo. This can also grow thanks to the Wild Multiplier symbol which could increase its value by 5x.

Instant prize symbols are the bronze, silver and gold coins with payout values of up to 1,000x. Once again, these can also be increased with their own Multiplier symbol that can improve the payout by up to 10x.

It isn’t all bad news when you land only four matching symbols on the grid as between four and nine symbols that do not form a cluster can be drawn towards the Sweet Collector symbol to create a win. There is also a Cluster Link that triggers an instant win when a specified number of instant prizes get together.

To play the Free Spins Bonus in the UK, you’ll need three or more Wild Candy symbols to appear and the maximum number of free spins is 12—for this, you will need six Wild Candies. Players outside the UK can pay 120x their bet if they would like to go straight to the Bonus. 

During the game, only special symbols and blank symbols exist and the Instant Win symbols will stay in place as they land and are duly evaluated at the end of the feature. Other special symbols work their magic in their own specific way. 

There is also an option to play Super Free Spins if you are in certain jurisdictions outside the UK and this gives you a chance to land up to six Wild Candy symbols and guaranteed Wild Multipliers. However, this privilege comes at a cost of 400 times your standard bet.

Retro Sweets Review

If you like your retro slots with a bit of a Stranger Things vibe, then you may well be able to fulfil this very specific hankering with Retro Sweets. The game feels more like an 80s arcade production and the American diner setting will help take you back even more years.

Design

It's a blue/purple hue that sets the scene for this old-school diner that does feel a little confused with the 50s vibe mixed with some 80s references. You get a cool electro-pop anthem to keep things lively along the way and some areas have a very familiar neon outline to emphasise the various important aspects. It's a simple yet good-looking setup but also works perfectly on smaller mobile screens.

Gameplay

Everything you find in the Bonus game is also present throughout the Base game as well. Personally, I like to see modifiers available at all times as it stops the game from seeming like it's been created for purely bonus buy-in reasons. Top marks from me—well, nearly!

Win Potential

With so many ways to modify the special symbols and large payout figures for huge clusters, it's not hard to imagine that the 10,000x max win will drop for some lucky players. The volatility is predictably high for this type of game and the RTP bounces around slightly, depending on the buy-in options, but its stable figure is around 96.5%.

My Verdict

There's a lot going on in Retro Sweets but it's not overly complicated and doesn't have you screaming at the screen desperately trying to work out why everything is happening in the way it does. There's a certain logic applied to the modifiers and a familiarity too with lots of games opting to multiply and collect instant wins in this way. A great effort all round.
