Play Candy Swap for Free

As mentioned, this slot machine is specially optimised for mobile casinos. This means that the game itself suffers from being a bit on the basic side and you won't find any extra gameplay elements such as a gamble game or multiplier bonus round. Nonetheless, the slot is easy to handle with some easy finger tapping action. Players simply have to press the circular arrow icon to start a spin after they have arranged their wagers under the “Stakes & Lines” menu. The bets begin as low as a penny chew sized 0.01 coins and the top wager available is a gob-stopping 1 coin.

Even though this game is meant to played on smaller screens, the graphics are still pleasing to the eye with plenty of sugary treats on show. The general aspect is suitably coloured to emulate the candy theme with baby blues and bubblegum pink while the music is quaint and whimsical to keep things light and entertaining. Of course, if you haven't got a sweet tooth then perhaps this slot machine isn't for you.

Candy Swap’s symbols consist of classic pick 'n' mix sweeties such as gummy bears, cola bottles, candy canes, and gummy eggs. There are also some standard playing card icons (10, J, Q, K, and A) which come in many different colourful flavours.

With only 9 paylines available to play with, this game is not going to return a winning spin with every rotation of the reels. However, this means that players have the chance to get some bigger bounties when the symbols do align in their favour. Well, at least in comparison to other Nektan software slot machines.

We say this because the top jackpot is a rather small 2,500 coins, the reason for which is the fact that punters can't bet any more than 1 coin per payline. So, in actual fact, this jackpot is a 2,500x line bet multiplier – which is a fairly decent return for your stakes. That top prize is awarded whenever players line up five “Candy Swap” icons on a payline. The next most rewarding icons are the sweet symbols. In order, these are the eggs, canes, cola bottles and gummy bears and they will pay out the following amounts respectively: 1,000x, 750x, 500x, and 300x. That's quite a sudden drop in values, meaning that players will have to hold out for those top symbols if they really want to win big.

The generic playing card icons pay out the lowest wins, albeit on a more frequent basis. Five 10s, for example will pay no more than 50x the value of the line bet, as will five Js. Five Qs will reward 110x while both Ks and As pay out 150x.

Everyone loves a free candy from the sweet shop – it's just irresistible. And we're sure that spinners of this slot machine are going to enjoy a few free spins with Candy Swap. In order to activate these freebies, players will have to find three of the game's scatter icon which is depicted as a chocolate coated arrow icon with the word “Spins”. Very tasty indeed. But what is even tastier is the fact that these free spins can be retriggered. So, you can effectively stuff your faces with sweet spinning action without having to pay a penny.

Spinners can also rely on the Candy Swap wild symbol, represented as a delicious looking strawberry. Not only will this icon offer up some natural sugars, but it will also replace other game symbols to link together winning combinations. How sweet is that?

There is a certain classic charm about this mobile orientated slot machine. With its simple symbols and no nonsense gameplay, this will definitely appeal to many retro slot enthusiasts. Especially if they have a bit of a sweet tooth. By the same token, players who are used to big bonus games might be a bit underwhelmed by what Candy Swaps has to offer.
