Slot Summary

Trigger the Hold and Win round, then chase another Bonus symbol before the Respin count expires. King Candy - Hold & Win turns that repeating objective into an expanding Candy grid, starting from 5x4 and opening toward 7x7 during the feature. Nucleus Gaming adds Pay Anywhere wins, Cascading symbols, Wild Multipliers, and four Fixed Jackpots, with a full grid tied to the Grand prize and a 5,000x overall ceiling.
MechanicsCascades feed an expanding Hold and Win grid

How It Plays

The base game uses Pay Anywhere rather than fixed lines, so matching symbols can form a win without occupying a traditional left-to-right payline.

After a win, Cascading symbols clear and replacements fall into the open positions. This can create another combination before the original paid round finally ends.

Theme & Atmosphere

Candy and Food supply the symbol language, while the Fantasy setting turns the grid into a sugar kingdom ruled by the title's oversized confectionery monarch.

The playful subject also explains the expanding board: the bonus reveals more of the candy kingdom as additional positions become active during the feature.

Features & Win Potential

Wild Multipliers respond to the number of Wild Symbols visible together, allowing a Cascade with several Wilds to carry more value than an isolated substitution.

Pay Anywhere removes fixed line paths, and Cascading wins can repeat within one paid round as successful symbols disappear and new ones occupy their spaces.

Bonus & Free Spins

Hold and Win begins when enough Bonus symbols land. Those symbols remain fixed through Respins, and each new qualifying symbol refreshes the available attempts.

Reelset Changing expands the board toward 7x7, while Fixed Jackpots provide Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand targets. The Bonus Buy offers direct entry where permitted.
