Retro Sweets, a 6x9 cluster slot
Symbols land on a 6x9 Cluster Link grid, and a win forms when five or more matching candies sit next to each other. Winning clusters cascade and collapse, so new symbols take their place and the next round of wins can form. The theme blends Neon and Sweets, giving a bright candy setting with six symbol types.
Three or more Wild Candy Symbols landing anywhere start the Normal Free Spins Feature: 6, 8, 10 or 12 spins for 3, 4, 5 or 6 symbols. Push Bet is a toggle that guarantees one or two Wild Candy Symbols on every base spin, adding 100% or 300% of the Base Bet to the total bet. Wins still pay on the Base Bet.

Five steps in order
Bet, reels and the Free Spins trigger
Fiz Casino shows each step before the first spin, so you know the bet before the reels move.
Set your Base Bet
The reels wait for a Base Bet between A$0.10 and A$100. Examples here use A$0.40 and A$0.50, and Push Bet can raise the Total Bet.
Chain reactions across the grid
Five or more adjacent candies of one symbol form a win on the 6x9 Cluster Link grid. Winning clusters collapse and new candies tumble down, so one spin can cascade again.
Retro Sweets multiplier symbols
Wild Candy Symbols and Scatters land on the reels during the base game. Sticky Wild, Magnetic Symbol, Multiplier and Wild Multiplier round out the feature list of Retro Sweets.
From 6 spins to 12
Three or more Wild Candy Symbols landing anywhere on the grid trigger the Normal Free Spins Feature. Three, four, five or six symbols give 6, 8, 10 or 12 free spins.
Set your session limit
Each spin of the reels costs the Total Bet, including any Push Bet toggle, so set your session limit before the first spin.

Toggling it on raises Total Bet by +100% of Base Bet (2x). It makes sure 1 Wild Candy Symbol lands on every base spin. Wins are still evaluated on Base Bet, not the inflated Push Bet total.

Two ways to play
Can you try Retro Sweets before you deposit?
The worry most players bring to a slot: that testing it will drain their balance.
Each demo spin runs on the same 6x9 grid, needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account here and you must be 18 or older.
Play nowClear limits before your first Retro Sweets spin
On the reels, three or more Wild Candy Symbols can land anywhere and start free spins, but how often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP shown for the version you play.
Every spin on the 6x9 grid pays out under one RTP version. Which version Fiz Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first spin. The table on this page lists all five versions, but it does not say which one is live.
Clusters cascade and collapse on the 6x9 grid until no new win forms. The win cap sits at 10,000x Base Bet, and that ceiling is reached very rarely, so treat it as a limit, not a target.
