Immerse yourself in a dazzling world of sweets, where every spin is filled with “hot spots” and surprises. In Candylinks Bonanza 3 from Stakelogic, vibrant sweets illuminate the reels, and golden coins fall onto the “Hurricane Links” panel, waiting to line up into sparkling winning lines. With each spin, “hot spots” add extra magic, cloning coins, increasing their value, or activating special modifiers for even bigger wins.

• The theoretical minimum return to player (RTP) is 95.99%.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for all winning symbols. The Wild symbol can only appear on the center reel. During free spins, the Wild symbol can have a multiplier (x1-x3). Each Wild multiplier is added to the total multiplier. The multiplier is applied to all wins during free spins.

Coin Symbols

Coin symbols can appear in both the main game and free spins. Coin values ​​can be: 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.4x, 1.8x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, and 10x. Coin symbols can appear on all reels except the center reel.

Hurricane Links Panel

The Hurricane Links panel replicates a 5×5 game board. When coin symbols land, they are placed in the same position on the panel. If a coin symbol is already present in that position, their values ​​are added together. Coins remain on the panel until they form a Hurricane Link line.

Hurricane Links

Any vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of 5 coins in the Hurricane Link collection triggers a Hurricane Links win. All coin values ​​on that line are paid. Multiple Hurricane Links paylines can be paid in a single spin. After all Hurricane Links paylines have been won, the Hurricane Links card is reset. Coins on the Hurricane Links board are linked to the selected bet; when a new bet is selected, the Hurricane Links board is reset (or the board displays previously collected coins for that bet).

• The RTP for Hurricane Links is 23.36%.

Modifier Symbols

Rocket Symbol

When landing, the Rocket awards a random value, which is added to all Coin symbols on the Hurricane panel. Possible Rocket values: 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.4x, 1.8x of the total bet.

Chest Symbol

When landing, the Rocket randomly selects 1 to 3 Coin symbols on the Hurricane panel and doubles their values ​​(x2).

Coin Machine Symbol

When landing, the Rocket randomly selects 1 Coin symbol on the Hurricane panel, and its value can be doubled up to three times.

Hot Spots

Hotspots are available in both the main game and free spins. Each reel has one Hotspot position per spin. Hotspots move vertically between spins. A Hotspot can never appear in the center position (reel 3, row 3). Hotspots are always active, but their effects are only triggered when certain Coin or Modifier symbols land on a Hotspot position during the main game. During free spins, Hotspots also apply their effects to standard (paying) symbols.

Hot Spots & Modifiers

When a Coin symbol lands on a Hot Spot, its value increases to the next level on the Coin Value Ladder before being transferred to the Hurricane Communication Panel.

Coin Value Ladder (× Bet): 0.1 → 0.2 → 0.4 → 0.8 → 1 → 1.2 → 1.4 → 1.8 → 2 → 2.5 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 8 → 10

When a Rocket lands on a Hot Spot, it uses enhanced multipliers, increasing the potential reward: 2× → 2.5× → 3× → 4× → 5× → 8× → 10×.

When a chest lands on a “hot spot,” it triples the value of 1 to 3 coin symbols on the reels.

When a coin slot machine lands on a “hot spot,” it performs its action twice. If no other coins are available, it can select the same coin again.

During free spins, “hot spots” also apply their effects to standard (paying) symbols. When a standard symbol lands on a “hot spot,” it splits into two, increasing the likelihood of winning combinations.

Bonus Symbol

Bonus symbols can appear on reels 1–5. If two bonus symbols land in the main game, wins are paid and a free re-spin is awarded. All symbols except the middle symbol remain on the reels, the middle symbol spins, wins are paid, and a free re-spin is triggered if a bonus symbol lands.

Free Spins

Three or more bonus symbols trigger free spins.

• Three bonus symbols award 10 free spins.
• Four bonus symbols award 15 free spins.
• Five bonus symbols award 20 free spins.

During free spins, all features remain active, and hotspots appear on every reel (except the center position). Free spins cannot be retriggered.

• The RTP for free spins is 18.11%.

Wheel of Fortune

Hurricane Links lines that include the middle Bonus Wheel icon trigger the Wheel of Fortune bonus. It can pay out jackpots (Mini, Major, Grand) or multipliers, and has three progressive tiers:

• Mini Wheel prizes: Mini (30x bet), Upgrade, 5x, 10x, 20x
• Major Wheel prizes: Mini (30x bet), Major (100x bet), Upgrade, 10x, 20x
• Grand Wheel prizes: Mini (30x bet), Major (100x bet), Grand (1000x bet)

One spin on the Wheel of Fortune counts. If the wheel lands on the Upgrade, the wheel is upgraded, and another spin counts.

Any Hurricane Link line win during free spins triggers the Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel of Fortune game begins after the free spins feature ends. Winning one Hurricane Link line triggers the mini-wheel. Winning two Hurricane Link lines triggers the Major Wheel. Winning three or more Hurricane Link lines triggers the Grand Wheel.

Buy Bonus

Players can purchase the Free Spins feature for 100x their bet. When purchasing the Free Spins feature, a separate Hurricane Links collection will be available. A new Hurricane Links collection card will be awarded, and coins are awarded for each bonus round purchase. After confirming the purchase, the Free Spins bonus game will automatically start. The active bet you were playing with when purchasing free spins using the “BUY FREE SPINS” feature will be applied to the Free Spins bonus game.

When purchasing Free Spins, a separate Hurricane Links collection will be available. A new Hurricane Links collection will be awarded, and the same coins are awarded for each bonus round purchase. After the bonus round ends, the game will revert to the original Hurricane Links collection.

The RTP for the “BUY BONUS SPINS” feature is 96.01%.

Super Stake
