Extra Juicy Slot Review
The 5-reel 10-line Extra Juicy video slot by Pragmatic Play is a pretty classy game with simple but still highly electrifying gameplay. It is charged with two powerful attractions, both strongly appealing to players from South Africa. The first one is the generous paytable offering nice wins reaching as much as x1,000 the stake in the main game and whooping x60,000 the stake during the feature, a nice catch by standards of any online casino. The second attraction is the way the slot machine pays: there is no need to start a line combination from the leftmost reel, it counts wherever it starts. There is no plot behind the gameplay; it is all about playing a slot and not about some fancy story and spectacular video effects covering up for low wins. This slot is made for those players who are fascinated with the very idea of gambling – and it pays off. Fruits acting like symbols look juicy and act juicy: when they hit a line they sprinkle juices – and wins. Naturally, the slot is optimized for any devices that players prefer to play their favorite games on. It is a mobile-friendly game and runs perfectly well on desktops and iOS, Windows and Android mobile devices.Betting options, symbols and paytable
The slot machine looks classy due to its simplistic design and images of fruits it uses as symbols. Its 10 lines are fixed and always on; they cross a 5×3 field waiting for symbols to land and earn some cash for dedicated players. The beauty of these paylines is the fact that they pay an award when any line hosts a qualified number of symbols, i.e. at least 3 icons of a kind. It does not matter whether a combination starts on the leftmost reel or reel 2 counting from the left; it pays anyway.
Line combinations are built by 7 non-feature symbols, all but one fruity and juicy. There are Cherries, Lemons, Oranges, Plums, Blueberries, Watermelons and golden Bells. They all pay from left to right starting from any reel when 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols land on any line. Fruits award between x2 and x1,000 the line bet. This is an attractive paytable and a sound reason to check in an online casino and play the slot for real money.
To figure out how much the slot machine pays in money terms, it is necessary to look at the betting controls. The game accepts bets within a range from $0.01 to $5 per line or from $0.10 to $50 per spin. Although this betting range makes the slot an affordable game, it may not appeal to hearts of South African high rollers; nevertheless, the game is certainly worth a good deal of play due to an extremely lavish bonus feature offering a chance to win up to $300,000 at the max bet. The base game can award as much as $5,000 at a $5 line bet, this is the best line win available.
A huge shining diamond is a scatter. It lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the base game and free spins and brings about 2 nice bonuses. Firstly, 3 scatters pay out x2 the total bet, this amounts to $100 at the max bet. Secondly, scatters are triggers and 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 activate a Progressive Multiplier Free Spins bonus.
There is no wild symbol in this game. Respectively, players have to manage line wins only out of regular icons. Again, they are greatly assisted in this adventure by the way line combinations develop, so the absence of wilds is not that much of a loss in fact.
Progressive Multiplier Free Spins bonus
This is trice a bonus feature: it plays for free, it is equipped with win multipliers and those win multipliers are progressive, i.e. they are growing in every free spin.
When 3 scatters hit any positions on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game, the online casino slot pays all line and scatters awards won in the triggering round and switches to a new set of reels. The feature starts with 12 free spins and a starting multiplier of x1. This multiplier is governed by certain rules: firstly, it progresses and adds 1 every free spin; secondly, it applies to line wins but not scatter awards; thirdly, it is allowed to progress up to x60, this is an ultimate achievement for a player and the upper limit for the multiplier.
Given the paytable effective in the base game, the free spins feature offers a progressive paytable as soon as the multiplier applies to any line win and grows every spin. Having started with a x1 booster, players play 1 free spin with the same awards as the base game offers; the second free spin makes the paytable twice as rich and regular icons pay between x4 and x2,000 the line bet. Having played through all 12 free spins, a player runs the 12th free spin with a x12 multiplier and amazing paytable offering wins between x24 and x12,000 the line bet. This may add to the balance a gargantuan prize of $60,000 at max (or in bitcoin, if applicable).
And this is not the end of this rip-roaring story about a progressive multiplier bonus. A lucky player is allowed to retrigger the feature up to 4 times in a row. It takes 3 scatters and boom! – the online casino game awards 12 extra free spins and then again and again. Every extra set of free spins plays with a win multiplier starting from the value the multiplier reached in the previous set of 12 free spins. This solution makes it possible to boost the win multiplier in the course of 60 possible free spins from x1 to x60 and increase the maximum possible win to x60,000 the line bet.
Summary
The Extra Juicy slot machine by Pragmatic Play is a classy 5-reel 10-line game with simple gameplay accepting bets between $0.01 and $5 per line and awarding up to x1,000 the line bet in the base game and offering a chance to play 60 free spins with a progressive win multiplier growing from x1 to x60 and thus making it possible to hit a prize of x60,000 the line bet.
