Candy Mine Megaways Slot (Mini Review)
Candy Mine Megaways from Atlantic Digital is a 6-reel Megaways slot with up to 117,649 ways, cascading wins, win-both-ways payouts, and a 5,000x max win. The setup will feel familiar immediately - it's essentially the same engine used in several of the studio's recent releases, wrapped in a sugary candy-cave theme. The visuals lean hard into the sweet-shop look: gumdrops, lollipops, and a collection cart above the reels that stores tokens. A row of fixed jackpots sits to the left, mirroring the layout used in the studio's other Megaways titles. It's colourful and busy, but not particularly distinct if you've played Sugar Rush-style games before.
Gameplay follows the standard Megaways formula: cascades after every win, tokens that can unlock bonuses, and a respin feature triggered by symbols on the outer reels. Clearing the grid sends you to the Sweet Treat Wheel, which is split into three tiers of jackpots, free spins, and level-ups. The free spins round offers four setups with increasing cascade multipliers, and jackpots can be won by landing symbols simultaneously on reels 1 and 6. There's also an ante bet and two bonus buys, though the 94.31% RTP is noticeably low across all modes.
As for the bigger picture: Candy Mine Megaways feels like a near-carbon copy of Star Trek: The Next Generation Megaways, just reskinned with candy visuals. The mechanics, the wheel, the jackpots - almost everything is the same. With that in mind, it's hard to give it anything but a low score. A very mediocre slot overall: functional, colourful, but derivative to the point of being unnecessary.
