Candy Blitz on a phone

SIDEWAYS ONLY 2.0 s TO PLAYABLE FREE DEMO

This one makes you turn the phone. 2.0 s to load, and no upright build exists.

Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 9 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.0 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

This title ships in more than one return build

Pragmatic Play licenses 2 configurations of Candy Blitz. The spread from top to bottom is 2.23 points, which is about C$22 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.

How to see which one you are on, in three taps

  1. Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
  2. Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
  3. Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.

123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.

Where it sits on the board

That puts it 253 of 306 on our phone score, which weighs orientation first, then how long you wait, then whether the buttons are a sensible size. The load beats the board median of 2.1 s by 0.1 s.

For context, 52 of the 71 Pragmatic Play games on this board hold portrait and the studio median is 1.9 s.

What the game is

Pragmatic Play shipped it in 2023 on a 6x5 board running tumble / scatter pays. Candy-themed pay-anywhere tumble slot with spreading multiplier features in free spins.

High volatility, so treat the demo as a look at the rhythm and not at the maths. C$0.20 a spin, so twenty dollars runs to roughly 100 of them. The studio does not publish a capped maximum for this one.
