01The board
02How a spin pays
Pays anywhere
8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the grid pay.
The count at the end of the spin sets the pay, in steps of 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 or more.
Tumbles
Winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in from the top.
The chain runs while new wins form, or until it reaches the 5,000x cap.
Wild
Stands in for any symbol except Bonus.
Counts toward every cluster win.
Cap
A round stops paying at 5,000x the bet.
Duel lists the same 100% RTP for the base game and the bonus.
03Paytable
Pays are multiples of the bet and are the same in the base game and in free spins. The client shows the art without names, so the names below are ours.
| Symbol | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue swirl candy | 0.4x | 0.4x | 0.6x | 0.7x | 2x |
| Green candy | 0.5x | 0.6x | 0.7x | 1x | 2.5x |
| Yellow candy | 0.6x | 0.7x | 0.9x | 1.2x | 3x |
| Red gumdrop | 0.7x | 0.9x | 1.2x | 1.5x | 4x |
| Orange wrapped candy | 1x | 1.2x | 1.5x | 2x | 5x |
| Photo | 1.5x | 1.6x | 2.2x | 2.8x | 7x |
| VHS tape | 1.8x | 2.2x | 2.8x | 3.5x | 9x |
| Binoculars | 2.5x | 3.5x | 4.5x | 5.5x | 14x |
| Camera | 5x | 6x | 8x | 10x | 25x |
| Bonus symbols | Pays | Free spins | Extra spins in the bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | - | 8 | +3 |
| 4 | 3x | 10 | +5 |
| 5 | 5x | 12 | +8 |
| 6 | 100x | 14 | +10 |
The four lowest candies pay less than the bet for 8 or 9 of a kind. A spin can flash a win and still return less than it cost. Six or more Bonus symbols pay 100x on top of the free spins.
04Free spins and multipliers
Three or more Bonus symbols start free spins. In the bonus, multiplier symbols land with a value on them. When a tumble chain ends, every multiplier on the grid is added together and the total multiplies that chain's win. Bonus symbols in free spins add extra spins, up to 3 times per bonus. The game prints a weight next to each multiplier value.
By these weights the average multiplier is about 10.5x, and 45% of them are 2x. Only 5% are 50x or more. The game does not say how often a multiplier lands, only which value it shows.
05Bonus buy
The Buy Bonus sign costs $250 at a $2 bet, which is 125 times the stake. Duel lists 100% RTP for the bonus, the same as the base game. Buying skips the wait for 3 Bonus symbols. It does not change the average return, and each go costs as much as 125 base spins.
The first spin of a bought bonus is only a reveal. Duel says no clusters or wins trigger on it and it cannot be checked with Provably Fair.
06What 100% RTP means here
Duel lists Groomer's Van at 100% RTP in the base game and 100% in the bonus, and the tag under the board reads House Edge 0%. Over a very long run the game pays back what goes in, on average. A single session can still swing hard. Small hits often pay under the stake, the multipliers live only in free spins, and every round stops at 5,000x.
We cannot check the 100% figure from the paytable alone, because Duel does not publish how often each symbol lands. The figure on this page is the one Duel prints.
07How to play it well
- Read the pays before you chaseEight or nine of the four lowest candies pay less than the bet. Check the balance after each spin.
- Expect flat base spinsMultipliers only appear in free spins. Base spins pay the paytable and nothing more, so plan for long quiet stretches.
- Buy only with room to spareOne buy costs 125 times the bet. At $2 that is $250 for a single bonus with no set return.
- Know the ceilingEvery round stops at 5,000x. A 250x multiplier on a long chain can reach the cap, and the extra is lost.
- Use the Provably Fair keyThe board carries a Provably Fair key. Duel says the first spin of a bought bonus is cosmetic and sits outside that check.
08Questions players ask
What is the RTP of Groomer's Van?
Duel lists 100% RTP for the base game and 100% for the bonus game, and the page tags the game House Edge 0%.
What is the max win on Groomer's Van?
5,000x the bet. A tumble chain stops paying when a round reaches that cap.
How do I trigger free spins?
Land 3 or more Bonus symbols. Three, four, five or six give 8, 10, 12 or 14 free spins. Four also pay 3x, five pay 5x, and six or more pay 100x.
How do the multipliers work?
They only appear in free spins. Each one shows a value from 2x up to 250x. When the tumble ends, all of them are added and the total multiplies that chain's win.
How much is the bonus buy?
The sign shows $250 at a $2 bet, which is 125x. The first bought spin only reveals the bonus and cannot be checked with Provably Fair.
Is the theme in good taste?
The name, the FREE CANDY van and several symbols play on a child-predator joke. Many players find it in poor taste. The theme does not change the maths.
I treat Groomer's Van as a bonus hunt. The base game pays small, the multipliers only live in free spins, and the 5,000x cap shows the ceiling before the first spin.
