Candy Stars

Is it us, or has Pragmatic Play opened up the spigot recently and increased its rate of production? Slots seem to be fair flying off the line at the time of writing, which can be both a positive and a not-so-positive thing. Doing things briskly can lead to slots like Candy Stars which feel like they were rushed out the door to make up numbers rather than fulfil some sort of creative urge. The game came across as half done, cobbled together quickly, given a polish, and sent out into the real world to see what it can do. Of course, we could be entirely wrong, yet that's the impression Candy Stars gave off during testing. Initially, at least. When compared to slots which clearly have a ton of effort and creativity poured into them, it felt a little threadbare. There's a sweetie disco thing going on that is fun, in its way, but was it designed this way on purpose, or were a few bits and pieces lying unused around the studio get mashed together in a hurry? Who knows, anyway, as to playing Candy Stars, it could actually be surprisingly good. Simple, pacey, to the point. Wild multipliers had the ability to produce eyebrow-raising moments, in part due to the pay ways system and part to their progressive nature. Free spins are where the game can really blast off since the multiplier values are able to grow so much quicker than in the base game, while the max payout is governed by a5,000x the betwin cap. Candy Stars might not be as interesting as a game likeRaptor DoubleMaxor even its siblingFlorageddon!, but it has its moments. Throughout the testing session, there was a suspicion Candy Stars was actually a clone of a previous game, but the name of which hovered just out of our consciousness like a dream you vaguely catch wisps of when waking yet are unable to fully playback in your mind (there are also some slight similarities toEuphoria). Either way, Candy Stars isn't a bad game, the sticky wild multipliers are a source of intrigue, and there's a simplistic charm that's easy to go along with, but it's not one likely to rock the gambling world a whole heck of a lot.
