Candy Blitz Bombs – What Is This Slot?
Candy Blitz Bombs is a candy-themed video slot game created by Pragmatic Play, released on 29 April 2024. The game is the sequel to the original Candy Blitz slot. It features a 6×5 grid with a pay-anywhere system — there are no paylines. Players win by landing 8 or more identical symbols on the screen at the same time. If the player gets 12 or more of a symbol of the same type at once, they are rewarded with a higher payout value.
The Tumble Feature in Candy Blitz Bombs automatically removes all winning symbols from the grid and awards the win to the player after each spin. After each removed match, new symbols drop into the grid from the top of the screen. The Multiplier Reel to the side of the grid starts at 1× and increases by 1 with every tumble that occurs during a single game spin.
Multiplier Bombs are symbols that can be landed at any time on any of the positions on the 6×5 grid. Each Multiplier Bomb displays a value between 1× and 500×. The value is added to the Multiplier Reel total when any of these symbols land on the reels.
Players can land the Free Spins feature by getting 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols on the screen at the same time. These scattered symbols will award the player 10, 12, or 14 bonus spins. During these bonus spins, the minimum value of the Multiplier Bombs is increased to 2×. Additionally, all accumulated multipliers for that session will continue into the next spin and bonus game.

Bonus Features
Tumble Feature
Candy Blitz Bombs will award players a payout after each winning combination. After the winning symbols have been claimed on the screen, the symbols will be removed from the 6×5 grid. Any remaining symbols will fall to the bottom of the grid. Any remaining spaces will be automatically filled by new symbols dropping from the top of the screen. This continues to happen until the player no longer scores any more winning combinations. All winnings from each tumble will be combined into one total win for the player.
Multiplier Reel
The display next to the game screen is the Multiplier Reel. It starts at 1×. After each win with the Tumble Feature, the Multiplier Reel will increase by 1×. This multiplier will be used to multiply the winnings from each tumble. Once the player no longer scores any winning combinations, the Multiplier Reel will return to 1× for the next game spin. However, if the player is participating in Free Spins, the Multiplier Reel will not return to 1× until the bonus game is over.
Multiplier Bombs
The Multiplier Bombs are symbols that can be located on any of the positions on the 6×5 grid during the game. Each of these symbols will have a value between 1× and 500×. The value will be added to the current total of the Multiplier Reel. During Free Spins, the minimum Multiplier Bomb value is raised to 2×.
Scatter Symbol & Free Spins Trigger
The Scatter symbol can be present anywhere on the 6×5 grid. If a player lands 4 or more of these symbols on the screen, they will trigger the Free Spins feature. If a player lands 4 Scatters, they will get 10 bonus spins. If they land 5 Scatters, they will receive 12 bonus spins. If they land 6 Scatters, they will win 14 bonus spins. During these games, the Multiplier Reel will not reset.
Free Spins – Persistent Multiplier
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols on the 6×5 grid. The number of Scatters determines the number of bonus spins a player receives. Once these spins have been awarded, the Tumble Feature, Multiplier Reel, and Multiplier Bombs will all continue to work during the bonus round.
During the bonus round, the Multiplier Reel will not reset to 1× after each individual spin. During normal game spins, when the player no longer wins any combinations of symbols, the Multiplier Reel will automatically go back to 1×. However, during the bonus spins, the Multiplier Reel will remain at the same number throughout the bonus round. Additionally, the minimum value of the Multiplier Bombs will be increased during bonus games.
