More than three “bonus” candies offer three free games that can be risked in a picker wheel whose: (round one) blue segments nullify them while the green-and-purple segment add +4 free games in a 5X4 grid: and (round two) blue segments nullify them and golden segment offers +5 free games in a 5X5 grid.
