Sweet Shop Collect by RTG

Sweet Shop Collect by RTG takes players into a colourful candy store filled with sweets, lollipops and tempting treats. The game uses a classic 5-reel, 3-row layout with 25 fixed paylines.

The symbols include several brightly coloured sweets, with higher-paying candy symbols offering the best regular reel prizes. The colourful design keeps the game simple and cheerful while the unusual Collect feature gives it something extra.

The Rainbow Wild substitutes for the regular symbols when forming winning combinations. It can also award an instant prize when multiple Wilds appear together.

Landing three or more Sweet Shop Collect Scatter symbols triggers both an instant prize and the Free Games feature. Three Scatters award 10 free spins, four award 15, while five Scatters provide 20 free spins.

The Scatter prizes increase with the number of symbols. Three Scatters award 1x the total bet, four award 5x, and five Scatters award 10x the total bet.

The game's main attraction is the Candy Collect feature. This can activate following a non-winning spin, making it possible to gain something from spins that do not produce a normal payline win.

During the feature, minor symbols that have not contributed to a winning combination are collected. They are added to the Candy Collect meters shown beside the reels.

As the meters fill, they move closer to triggering a bonus prize. Once a collector is full, it can randomly burst during a subsequent spin and award a cash prize.

The bonus prize is based on a multiplier of the total bet. Once a collector awards its prize, that particular collector is emptied and can begin filling again.

This creates an interesting difference from most traditional slots. Instead of every spin being completely independent, unsuccessful spins can help build towards a future bonus.

The Free Games feature changes the way the Candy Collect function works. During the bonus, only the minor symbols appear on the reels. This means the Candy Collect feature can occur more frequently.

There is also a random multiplier of between 2x and 5x during the Free Games. The multiplier applies to wins from the free spins but does not affect prizes awarded by the Candy Collect feature.

The bonus therefore combines two separate sources of potential winnings. Normal Free Games wins can benefit from the random multiplier, while the Candy Collect feature continues building its own prizes.

Overall, Sweet Shop Collect is a straightforward candy-themed slot with a genuinely different feature at its centre. The Candy Collect mechanic gives non-winning spins an additional purpose, while the Free Games add random multipliers and more opportunities to fill the collectors.

If you like traditional slots with colourful themes and unusual collection features, Sweet Shop Collect is well worth trying.
