101 Candies turns multiplier Wilds into a moving inventory. Its 7×7 cluster grid cascades after wins, while each Avalanche drops a Wild onto a conveyor and the conveyor resets between base-game spins. Four Feature Coins can then upgrade, remove or scramble Wild multipliers, or transform a regular symbol. In Free Spins, the Wild Conveyor keeps its contents between spins and a Total Wins jar pays the accumulated bonus result at the end. The contrast between base resets and bonus persistence is the mechanic to watch.

Cluster cascades feed a resettable Wild Conveyor
The layout is seven reels by seven rows with Cluster wins; no paylines or ways count is listed. The Wild Conveyor holds multiplier Wilds valued from ×2 to ×101. Each Avalanche drops a multiplier Wild onto the reels, enhancing wins and making room for new Wilds. In the base game, the conveyor resets per spin; during Free Spins, it does not. Wilds substitute for payout symbols and multiply wins. This reset boundary changes the meaning of a Wild: in the base game it belongs to the current spin’s process, while in the bonus the conveyor can retain its arrangement between turns.
A Feature Coin may appear during an Avalanche and activate its matching effect. Upgrade adds one to all Wild multipliers up to ×101. Destroy removes the five leftmost Wilds from the conveyor. Scramble shuffles all Wilds on it. Transform replaces a random symbol with another, excluding Scatters and Wilds. These effects target different layers: three alter the conveyor inventory, while Transform changes a regular reel symbol. The source does not specify whether Feature Coins have equal probability or how multiple coins resolve in one Avalanche, so their order or relative frequency is not assumed. The Upgrade cap is explicit, while Destroy’s leftmost rule makes position on the conveyor relevant.
Free Spins retain multipliers and bank wins
Three to eight Scatters award ten to fifteen Free Spins: three grant ten, and each additional Scatter through eight adds one, reaching fifteen. Wins during the feature accumulate in the Total Wins coin jar, which pays at the end of the bonus. The Buy Feature is priced at 100× bet and first plays a guaranteed main-game spin that triggers ten to fifteen Free Spins. The ordinary Scatter route and the purchase route therefore converge on the feature, though the buy description does not choose a particular Scatter count or fixed spin award.
Because the conveyor does not reset during Free Spins, its Wild multipliers can persist from one spin to the next. Feature Coin effects can therefore interact with a retained set rather than a fresh inventory on every spin. An Upgrade may raise all current Wild values by one, while Destroy can remove five from the left and Scramble can reorder them. The jar collects wins separately and settles at the feature’s end. The source does not state whether the conveyor’s contents survive beyond the Free Spins feature, so the documented persistence is limited to the bonus itself. This is a meaningful mode change rather than an assumption that base-game progress carries over: the base conveyor resets each spin, whereas bonus continuity is explicitly confirmed.
Reference figures
For this exact title, the official math record lists RTP 96.08%, volatility 6.8 and maximum payout 3,580× bet. The record also supplies a maximum-win probability field of 50,000,000, but no unit or interpretation is attached in the packet; this article leaves that probability unknown rather than presenting an unexplained number as odds. Operator configurations may differ. The multiplier range and Scatter awards are defined, but Feature Coin probabilities are not.
Strengths and weak points
Strengths
The Wild Conveyor’s reset rule changes cleanly between modes, and each Feature Coin has a distinct operation. Scatter count also maps directly to a ten-to-fifteen-spin award.
Weaknesses
Feature Coin odds are absent, the maximum-win probability field has no stated unit, and Wild values can range widely. Those gaps limit meaningful comparison of likely bonus outcomes.
Our Editor’s View
101 Candies has a strong structural distinction between modes: its conveyor is temporary in the base game and persistent during Free Spins. That lets a cluster cascade use a freshly reset set of Wild multipliers, while the bonus can build on its existing configuration and alter it with four different coin effects. The Total Wins jar gives the bonus a separate settlement point, and the Scatter count sets a clear ten-to-fifteen-spin range. The weakness is that Feature Coin frequencies and the supplied probability field are not interpretable from the source, so the potential multiplier range should not be mistaken for a likely result. Players who enjoy cluster cascades and a board state that behaves differently between base play and bonus should find a distinct system; those wanting transparent odds for each modifier will need more complete data.
