With the original Candyways Bonanza Megaways proving a hit last year, Hurricane Games has proved you don’t break up a winning team by again joining forces with Stakelogic to release a sequel.
Featuring the Megaways pay system, Candyways Bonanza 2 Megaways builds on the success of its predecessor with a number of additions, including brand-new mystery symbols and an overhauled free spins feature that offers players a choice of multipliers.
The game’s total number of payways has also received a significant upgrade, with the original 512 ways to win being boosted to a staggering 117,649 Megaways.
On top of that, Candyways Bonanza 2 Megaways also utilises an innovative cascading reels system, which sees all winning combinations disappear from view as new symbols tumble down from above to replace them and new payouts are calculated.
Aesthetically, the game features the same selection of symbols as the first title, with the candy-cane bordered reels playing host to a number of coloured bon-bons and sugary scatter symbols.
Action takes place to a backdrop of marshmallow clouds and ice cream cone mountains, with an expanded gameboard now featuring six vertical Megaways reels and a brand-new horizontal reel above them.
This horizontal reel plays a key role in creating winning combos, as whenever a mystery wild appears on it a random symbol will be revealed and all subsequent instances of that symbol on the reels below will become wild.
Naturally, this can result in multiple payouts being hit at once, with these symbols being removed as a reel cascade begins to potentially prolong the sequence and create further prizes.
