About the game

Leprechaun, yeti and a spiral grid

The theme list gathers leprechauns, St Patrick's Day, a yeti, keys, stars, ice cream and candy canes. NetEnt brings a familiar character onto the sweet shelf – Finn is no newcomer to the studio's catalogue.

The title appeared on 12 October 2023. Instead of a rectangular grid it uses the Swirly Spin layout named in the data, where symbols arrange themselves in a spiral.

Wilds, symbol swaps and chosen free spins

The mechanics revolve around wilds: random wilds, spreading wilds or a wild rush, guaranteed wilds in free spins, and a symbol swap. Avalanche and cascading are listed too.

The distinctive part is the free spin mode selection, where the player picks between variants. The data also records a benefit drawn from spins without a win, which explains the build-up between hits. A buy feature exists, with no price stated.

96.6 per cent and the 336x limit

The 96.6 per cent return is the second highest in this selection, with an RTP range attached. The maximum win, however, is only 336x – by some distance the smallest ceiling on the shelf. Volatility is rated low to medium to match.

What that means in play

No stake limits are available. Still, 96.6 per cent, a low-to-medium rating and a 336x ceiling describe a clear profile: many small to middling hits, few spikes, predictable session length. Anyone looking to stretch a balance over time will find the best candidate of these fourteen here.

Who will like it

For players who want evenness and a high return, and who value the buy feature as a shortcut. Explicitly not for hunters of large multipliers, since 336x is a hard ceiling.

The setting has its audience too. Anyone who knows NetEnt's leprechaun from earlier titles will find a continuation here; anyone indifferent to the character is unlikely to be won over by the spiral grid alone.

Beside its grim NetEnt neighbour

Don’t Eat the Candy comes from the same studio and the same month, yet runs high volatility with a ceiling ten times as tall. The pair shows how far NetEnt can pull the same sweet box in two directions.

Verdict

Pros

96.6 per cent is the second highest return in this selection
Low to medium volatility for an even run
A selectable free spin mode and several wild types, including guaranteed wilds

Cons

The 336x maximum limits potential sharply
An RTP range is flagged, so the operator may run another setting

Finn and The Candy Spin is the calmest and mathematically steadiest of these fourteen. The spiral grid, the range of wild types and the selectable free spin mode give it a hand of its own, and 96.6 per cent supports that across a long run.

The 336x ceiling is not an oversight but part of the same calculation: where little is possible upward, the rest arrives more evenly. Anyone who plans sessions rather than waiting for one hit will get along with it well.
