Questions and answers
Candy Swipe Matchwin FAQ
Short answers to the questions players ask most about Coreffect Interactive's swipe-to-match slot. For the full picture, read the review.
The basics
What is Candy Swipe Matchwin?
Candy Swipe Matchwin is a candy-themed slot from Coreffect Interactive with a swipe-to-match mechanic. Every swap of two neighbouring candies on the 7×7 board is one paid play, and you're paid for the chains it produces.
Who makes Candy Swipe Matchwin?
Coreffect Interactive, an independent studio from Montreal founded in 2020. It has made casino games for Stake since 2025, including Angry Balls, Cut N Crash and 3D Plinko 10000x.
When was it released?
Stake lists the release date as 14 October 2026.
Is it a slot or a puzzle game?
It's a slot with a puzzle feel. You choose which candies to swap, but the candies that drop in are random, and the game says wins are settled by its remote server.
Gameplay
How do wins work without paylines?
Every three candies broken in the same step earn one chain. The chains from all steps of a play are added up. The first chain is free, and every chain after it pays 0.05x your bet.
Why doesn't my first match pay?
The rules make the first chain of every play free, so a play with one chain pays nothing and two chains pay 0.05x. Multipliers are applied to the chain count first, then the free chain is removed.
What do lines of four or five do?
Four in a line breaks the whole row, or column if the line is vertical. Five or more breaks every candy of that colour on the board. Two lines of three sharing a candy, in an L, T or + shape, break the whole rectangle they cover.
How do multiplier candies work?
Multiplier candies carry ×2 to ×10. Every one that breaks during a play adds its value to that play's multiplier, so ×2 and ×5 make ×7. The total applies to all the play's chains, including those earned before it broke.
What do rockets, bombs and the shuffle symbol do?
A rocket breaks every candy in the direction of its arrow up to the edge of the board. A bomb breaks the 3×3 square around it. The shuffle symbol ends the play the moment it lands and refills the whole board.
Bonus and buys
How do I trigger the Ice Bonus?
Break Magic Candies, the glowing ones, to fill the three slots of the Magic Meter. The meter carries over between plays, and when all three slots are full the Ice Bonus starts for free.
What happens in the Ice Bonus?
You get 5 free moves on a board with two rows of ice blocks. A candy breaking next to a block cracks it, and it breaks after two or three cracks. At the end, the multipliers of all broken blocks are added up and applied to the round's chains. Every Magic Candy you break gives you an extra move.
What is Extra Luck?
Extra Luck is the ante mode. It costs 2x your bet per play and makes the Ice Bonus 2.5 times as likely, with the same 96.60–96.70% RTP as the base game.
Can I buy the bonus?
Yes. Enhanced Moves costs 50x your bet per move, the Ice Bonus 100x per round and Multi Mayhem 1,000x per move. Their RTPs are 96.60%, 96.60% and 96.40%.
