Candy Blast at Silversands Casino: high volatility slot with cascading multipliers
Push Gaming's 6x5 cascading grid builds a multiplier ladder with each win, Free Spins trigger at 96.34% RTP and the volatility means bigger wins come less frequently.
What kind of game Candy Blast is
Cascades multiply your wins. Candy Blast is a 6-reel, 5-row cascading slot with a sweets theme from Push Gaming, released in March 2025. Matching symbols anywhere on the grid trigger wins when you land 8 or more of the same kind. After each winning cascade, a multiplier ladder doubles your win until you spin without a match, when it resets. The grid regenerates after wins, giving you multiple chances to build wins in a single spin.
Choose your bet size carefully. Candy Blast suits players who enjoy chasing big swings and can stake between NZ$0.10 and NZ$100 per spin. The high volatility means wins land less often but can be substantial. Smaller bankrolls work best with lower bets, while the game's maximum payout of NZ$1,000,000 at max bet appeals to players seeking larger potential returns. The bonus buy option lets you jump straight into free spins if you prefer not to wait.
When the bonus round arrives. The Free Spins Feature is what drives most excitement in Candy Blast. Land 3 or more Rainbow Cupcake scatters anywhere to trigger the bonus round with a starting multiplier and spins that vary by scatter count. Each extra scatter during the round adds another spin. The multiplier climbs after each cascade, potentially reaching x2048, though a strike-out rule can trim the ladder after 3 consecutive wins.

Free spins and multiplier features
Scatters start the bonus. Three or more Rainbow Cupcake scatters anywhere on the grid start free spins. Three scatters award eight spins with a multiplier starting at x2; four scatters give ten spins at x4; five scatters grant twelve spins at x8. Each additional scatter that lands during the round adds one extra spin.
When three wins in a row strike. After three winning cascades in a row during free spins, the game removes the last active step from your multiplier ladder and cannot restore it for the rest of the round. The highest multiplier step of x2048 is always protected and never removed.
Toggle this to lift trigger odds. Turning on Push Bet doubles your total stake to twice the base bet and raises your chances of landing the free spins feature. Wins still calculate only from your base bet amount, not the doubled total. This mode lowers your RTP to 96.29 percent.
Buy eight spins and x2 start. You can purchase the same bonus that three Rainbow Cupcakes trigger: eight free spins with a multiplier starting at x2. This bonus buy costs 150 times your base bet. At a base bet of NZ$10, the cost is NZ$1500 and the RTP is 96.35 percent.

Candy Blast: demo or real stakes
You'll know which way to play Candy Blast and what each version gives you.
Accept what no review can tell you
No bonus count-down runs. The bonus round can take a hundred spins to arrive or land on your next turn. How often it comes depends on chance alone, and no pattern predicts when Rainbow Cupcake scatters will land.
Your session result stays random. Play one session and you might see plenty of wins. Play the next and you might see none. The RTP of 96.34 per cent describes what happens across thousands of spins over time, not what happens in one sitting with you.
Your casino's RTP version. Silversands Casino can run Candy Blast under different RTP figures. Open the game rules to see which one is active at the casino where you play. The version you face might not be the standard 96.34 per cent.
The max win is theoretical. The maximum win of NZ$1,000,000 sits at the mathematical ceiling of the game. You might play for years and never see it. The max win is a theoretical boundary, not a target that comes within reach.
Starter bonus entry
Skip the wait for three scatters and jump straight to eight spins with a x2 multiplier already loaded. This costs NZ$1 500 at your example stake of NZ$10.
Buy the premium bonus
Leap to the biggest Free Spins outcome: twelve spins beginning at x8 multiplier instead of spinning to find five scatters. At NZ$10 per spin, you pay NZ$7 500 for this entry.
Spend now, win on the original bet
Double your stake to increase the odds that Rainbow Cupcakes land and trigger the bonus naturally. At your NZ$10 base spin, the ante costs NZ$20, and wins still settle on your original NZ$10.

What's my session budget? Decide how much you can spend on Candy Blast before you start. Once that budget is gone, step away from the game. This keeps your play within money you can afford to lose.
Stopping after a win. Plan when you'll stop playing, whether you're ahead or behind. A big cascade or a Free Spins win can feel like the moment to keep going, but that's when a stopping point matters most.
Candy Blast and account limits. Use your account's deposit limits and loss limits to control how much you spend. These tools work in the background while you play, keeping you on track.
Pausing or stepping back. If the game stops feeling enjoyable or you feel out of control, pause or self-exclude from your account. The Gambling Helpline New Zealand and Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand both offer free support.
