Learn how Retro Sweets is played
A 6x9 grid of candy symbols forms the playing field of Retro Sweets, a video slot with a neon and sweets theme. Five or more adjacent symbols of the same kind make a win, and the winning clusters cascade and collapse, so new symbols fall into the gaps and can form further wins in the same spin. Wins depend on where symbols touch, not on paylines.
Three Wild Candy Symbols landing anywhere start the Free Spins, which give 6 spins for 3 symbols and 12 for 6 symbols. Wild Candy Symbols count wherever they land on the grid. The game also has Sticky Wild, Wild Multiplier, Multiplier, Magnetic Symbol, Tumble and Retrigger, each with its own rule.
Buying Free Spins: the Retro Sweets prices
120 times the bet buys the Normal feature and 400 times buys the Super one, and the table shows both prices in dollars at A$5.
| Bonus buy | In dollars | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Free Spins Feature | x120 · A$600 | – |
| Super Free Spins Feature | x400 · A$2,000 | – |
How much of A$100 comes back?
A$100 staked returns its RTP share to players over a very long run, not within a single session. The game rules show which version Picklebet runs.

Four modes to know
How each extra round starts and pays
After this section you will know how each bonus mode starts and runs.
Retro Sweets six-candy round
Up to 6 Wild Candy Symbols have a chance to land and be converted in this round, and a guaranteed random-value Wild Multiplier Symbol is converted as well.
Base GameWild Multiplier
One cluster, then the next
6 columns and 9 rows form the Cluster Link grid. 5 or more adjacent symbols of the same kind win, then cascade and collapse. The win cap is 10,000x Base Bet.
Opening the gameCluster wins
2x Push Bet
100% of Base Bet is added to the Total Bet when this toggle is on, so the Total Bet is 2x the Base Bet. It guarantees 1 Wild Candy Symbol on every base spin. Wins are still evaluated on the Base Bet, not the higher Total Bet.

Know your bet first
Spins, cascades and payouts in order
Read this before your first spin to see how one round runs from bet to payout.
Minimum of A$0.10
Pick your Base Bet between A$0.10 and A$100 before the first spin. Push Bet adds 100% or 300% of that base to the Total Bet, and wins still count on the base.
Count five adjacent candies first
Five or more adjacent symbols of the same kind form a win on the 6x9 Cluster Link grid. Winning symbols collapse, new ones drop in, and each cascade can pay again.
Retro Sweets Magnetic Symbol
Besides the cascade, Retro Sweets lists Wild, Sticky Wild, Magnetic Symbol, Multiplier and Wild Multiplier as features. Follow each one on screen during the round, from the first cascade onward.
Three Wild Candy Symbols
Each Wild Candy Symbol that lands anywhere counts toward the trigger. Three or more start the Normal Free Spins Feature, and how often that happens cannot be known in advance.
Set your budget before spinning
Set your session budget before the first spin and stop when it runs out. Count the Push Bet cost in that budget, because the Total Bet is 2x or 4x the base.

Why does the bonus round come when it does?
96.49% RTP describes a long-run average, and it says nothing about when Wild Candy Symbols will land. How often the Normal Free Spins Feature comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version you play.
Five RTP values exist for this slot, and each one sets a different long-run return on every A$100 staked. Which one runs on Picklebet is shown only in the game rules, so read there before you play. A higher RTP means more returned over time, yet it does not change how any single session goes.
10,000x the bet is the maximum win of Retro Sweets, a ceiling reached very rarely. On the A$5 example bet that ceiling comes to A$50,000. Reaching it cannot be planned, and no spin or session is guaranteed to get close.
