Not a row of reels, a mosaic of treats
A cluster forms on the 6x9 grid as soon as five or more matching candies sit side by side. The winning symbols then cascade and collapse, and new ones fall in so the round can keep going. Retro Sweets blends the Neon and Sweets themes into a cluster pays video slot. Five matching symbols is the fewest that pay. The paytable lists what each candy pays in money.
Three or more Wild Candy Symbols landing anywhere on the grid open the Normal Free Spins Feature. The Super Free Spins Feature can bring up to six Wild Candy Symbols and always converts a random-value Wild Multiplier Symbol. Retrigger, Sticky Wild, Multiplier and Magnetic Symbol are on the feature list. Each mode follows its own rules, so read them before the first spin.
Buying a shortcut into free spins
Three or more Wild Candy Symbols start the free spins, and each bonus buy costs a set multiple of the base bet, shown in dollars below.

Stakes from A$0.10 to A$100
The 6x9 grid waits for your Base Bet, which runs from A$0.10 to A$100. Examples here use A$0.20 and A$0.50, and the Push Bet toggle raises your Total Bet.
Clusters of five or more
Five or more adjacent candies of one kind form a win on the 6x9 Cluster Link grid. Winning candies collapse and the cascade can start again.
Retro Sweets three-symbol trigger
Wild Candy Symbols land on base spins, and the Push Bet ensures one or two on every base spin. Three or more of them start the free spins.
Free Spins from 6 to 12
Three, four, five or six Wild Candy Symbols landing anywhere award 6, 8, 10 or 12 Free Spins. Each extra symbol adds spins, so six symbols give the most spins.
How fast can the balance fall?
Each spin deducts your Total Bet from the balance, and the high volatility of this game means results swing widely. Set your limit before the first spin.
Four Modes
From Quiet Reels to Surprise Candy
You may wonder how the bonus starts and how many spins it gives.
Up to Six Candies, Then a Multiplier
Up to 6 Wild Candy Symbols have a chance to land and convert on the reels. The Super Free Spins Feature is bought for 400x Base Bet, which is A$200 at the A$0.50 base bet. A Wild Multiplier Symbol with a random value always converts alongside them.

Line Up Five Matching Candies
Five or more adjacent matching candies win on the 6 columns x 9 rows Cluster Link grid, and the winning candies cascade and collapse. Wins in the base game are capped at 10,000x Base Bet.

Retro Sweets One Guaranteed Candy
Every base spin lands 1 Wild Candy Symbol once the Push Bet toggle is on. The toggle raises Total Bet by +100% of Base Bet, which is 2x. Wins are still evaluated on Base Bet, not on the higher Total Bet, and the RTP is 96.05%.

Free spins timing and the session outcome
Three or more Wild Candy Symbols that land anywhere on the grid start the free spins, but no one can tell in advance when that will happen. How often the bonus comes is not known beforehand, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. Two sessions with the same bet can end far apart.
Each spin on the reels pays out on one RTP version. Which version a game runs is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels, so that page is the one place to confirm it before you play.
The biggest win on the reels is a ceiling, and it is reached very rarely. A session can end far below it, so read the maximum as the top of the scale, not as an expected result.

Retro Sweets Basics
Less Guessing, Clearer Answers
Read this before your first spin, when you pick a bet or weigh up the demo.
Can I buy the Retro Sweets free spins and what does it cost?
Retro Sweets offers two bonus buys. The Normal Free Spins Feature costs 120x the Base Bet, which is A$60 at A$0.50, and the Super Free Spins Feature costs 400x, which is A$200 at A$0.50. The Super version also brings a random-value Wild Multiplier Symbol.
What bets can I place on Retro Sweets?
Bets run from A$0.10 to A$100 per spin, and the paytable on this page uses A$0.20. Two Push Bet toggles raise the total stake: the 1 Scatter toggle to 2x the Base Bet, and the 2 Scatters toggle to 4x. Wins are still calculated on the Base Bet.
Can I try Retro Sweets in demo mode before playing for real?
Yes, Retro Sweets can be opened in demo mode here, so you can learn the 6x9 Cluster Link grid and the Push Bet toggles before staking real money. Demo play uses fun money.
How does Retro Sweets differ from RetroVerse and Retro Tapes?
Among the three series titles, Retro Sweets has the highest base return. RetroVerse and Retro Tapes share its 10,000x maximum win, so the return rate is what sets them apart.
How volatile is Retro Sweets, and how often do bonuses land?
High volatility means wins can vary widely in size from one spin to the next. How often a bonus arrives cannot be known in advance, so no session can be predicted.
What is the maximum win on Retro Sweets?
Retro Sweets pays up to 10,000x the Base Bet. At the A$0.50 example bet the cap is A$5,000, and at the A$100 maximum bet it reaches A$1,000,000.
