Push Gaming · 2024
Retro Sweets is a high volatility video slot from Push Gaming on a 6x9 grid. Winning candy clusters cascade, and this page explains how each round pays.
Choose Retro Sweets if you want a neon and sweets theme on a 6x9 grid. The grid uses Cluster Link rules, so a win comes from 5 or more adjacent symbols of the same kind. Each winning cluster pays, then collapses, and new symbols fall in to form the next cascade. Six candy symbols fill the grid, and the paytable lists what each one pays.
Switch on Push Bet if you want a Wild Candy Symbol on every base spin. It raises the total bet by 100% for one guaranteed symbol, or 300% for two. Wins still pay on the base bet. Three or more Wild Candy Symbols trigger the Free Spins, giving 6, 8, 10 or 12 spins. The slot carries Retrigger, Sticky Wild, Magnetic Symbol and Multiplier.

Round walkthrough
Most players fear not knowing what a spin costs before it lands.
Choose a stake from A$0.10 to A$100 before the first spin. Push Bet, a toggle, raises your total to two or four times the Base Bet.
Look for five or more adjacent candies of one symbol on the 6x9 grid. Winning groups pay, collapse, and the Cluster Link grid cascades new symbols into the gaps.
Check the labels for Tumble, Cluster Pays, Wild and Multiplier before your first spin. Sticky Wild, Magnetic Symbol and Retrigger also appear in the feature list.
Land three or more Wild Candy Symbols anywhere to trigger the Normal Free Spins Feature. Three symbols give 6 Free Spins, four give 8, five give 10 and six give 12.
Decide your spending limit before the first spin, and stop when it is reached. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 when play no longer feels in your control.
Bonus rules
The first worry this block removes is when a bonus starts and how many spins it gives.
Land 3 or more Wild Candy Symbols anywhere on the grid to start this feature. 3 symbols give 6 Free Spins, 4 give 8, 5 give 10 and 6 give 12. Every Free Spin is played in this mode, and the award is set by the symbol count.
Base GameFree Spins
Pay 400x Base Bet to enter the Super Free Spins Feature. Inside, the feature gives a chance to land up to 6 Wild Candy Symbols. A guaranteed Wild Multiplier Symbol with a random value is also converted.
Base GameSuper Free Spins
Start a spin on the 6 columns x 9 rows Cluster Link grid. Five or more adjacent symbols of the same kind win, then cascade and collapse. The win cap is 10,000x Base Bet.
Before the spinCluster wins
Switch on the Push Bet toggle to raise the Total Bet by +100% of Base Bet (2x). Every base spin then gets 1 guaranteed Wild Candy Symbol. Wins are still judged on Base Bet, not on the higher Total Bet.

Free Play
At Richard Casino you learn the reels and rules before any money goes in.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Richard Casino account and the legal age of 18+.
Start gameSet your bet before the first spin, knowing that the bonus round has no set schedule. How often it comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a higher RTP does not promise a win in any one session.
Open the game rules before your first bet, because the RTP version this site runs is shown only there. Series titles can carry different RTP versions, so check which one is listed before you compare returns. A version with a higher figure changes the long-run return, not the result of a single spin.
Plan around your bet, not the top prize, because the maximum win of Retro Sweets is a ceiling reached very rarely. It is a limit on the payout, not a target for any session. Treat it as the outer edge of the game, not something a spin is due to produce.

Retro Sweets questions
Useful when you compare the bonus, bets and volatility before loading the game.
Buy the Normal Free Spins for A$120 or the Super Free Spins for A$400 at an A$1 bet. Each price is 120x and 400x the Base Bet, so the cost rises with your stake. The Super version always converts a random-value Wild Multiplier Symbol.
Play Retro Sweets with fun money before you bet real cash. The lobby shows the Normal Free Spins at 60.00 fun and the Super Free Spins at 200.00 fun, both at a 0.50 base bet.
Choose a stake between A$0.10 and A$100 per spin. The examples on this page, A$0.20 and A$1, are illustrations and not limits. Each bet also sets the buy price, which is 120x or 400x the bet.
Landing three or more Wild Candy Symbols anywhere on the grid starts the feature. Three symbols give 6 free spins, four give 8, five give 10 and six give 12.
Pick Retro Sweets if you want the highest base return of the three versions. RetroVerse pays back 96.24% and Retro Tapes 96.47% per A$100 staked. All three share a 10,000x maximum win.
Expect high volatility from Retro Sweets, so wins can come in long gaps and bursts. The base game caps a win at 10,000x Base Bet: A$10,000 at the A$1 example bet, A$1,000,000 at A$100. How often a bonus lands or what one session returns cannot be known in advance.
You must be 18+ to play. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a spending budget before you open Retro Sweets, and stop when it is spent. Treat each spin as a cost, not a path to recovery.
Decide your stop point before the first spin and keep it after a big win. A win does not change what the next spin costs.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, and keep them. Limits protect your budget only when set before the first spin.
Take a break when Retro Sweets stops being fun, and self-exclude through BetStop if breaks do not help. Stepping away is a decision, not a failure.
