Extra Juicy Megaways (Pragmatic Play): Features
Extra Juicy Megaways has added the Ante Bet. When the Ante Bet is activated, the cost of regular bets, which increase by 25% and double the likelihood of triggering free spins, rises from 20 cents to a maximum of £/€125 for each spin. The RTP is still a decent 96.42% at the default setting, rising to 96.43% when utilizing the Ante Bet, or 96.48% when purchasing free spins, despite the significant volatility, which is to be expected.
In Extra Juicy Megaways, winning works a little differently. A winning combination must consist of at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, but it can begin anywhere. So, for instance, reels 3, 4, and 5 could result in a three-of-a-kind win. Extra Juicy Megaways features a variety of fruits, bells, and lucky sevens as its standard symbols and pays. Cherries, lemons, grapes, kiwifruit, oranges, plums, blackberries, and watermelons range in value from 0.6 to 2.5 times the wager for six on a payline. The next two symbols are bells (3.75x) and Lucky 7s (6x the wager for landing six on a payline). Because of how victories are generated, wilds are not used.
Similar to the first Extra Juicy game, Extra Juicy Megaways' free spins bonus round, when sticky multiplier symbols enter the picture, is its main attraction. Tumbles and a bonus buy button, when accessible, are additional features.
Tumbles: When winning combinations are made, tumbles are started. All of the symbols from the winning reels are taken out and replaced by a brand-new set of symbols, as opposed to just the winning symbols being taken out. Until no new winning combination is produced, tumbles continue to fire.
To activate the bonus, players must land 4, 5, or 6 scatters. These combinations will reward 12, 16, or 20 free spins, plus an additional 4 spins for every additional scatter that appears after the first six. You are offered the option to wager your 12- to 20-free-spin winnings for more turns on a fortune wheel if you choose to do so. The number of free spins awarded increases with a winning fortune wheel spin; decreases with a loss spin. If you receive more than 24 free spins from the standard game, you are not eligible for this choice.
Once you've entered the bonus game, search for scatter symbols. They have now been changed into multiplier symbols with values ranging from 3 to 15. Up until the conclusion of the current tumbling sequence, multiplier symbols remain on the reels. All multiplier symbol values that are visible after the tumble are totaled together and applied to the overall win from the tumble.
Buy bonus spins: Players can pay 100 times their investment to acquire access to free spins if they can. If you want to purchase free spins in this manner, you must turn the Ante Bet off.
Extra Juicy Megaways (Pragmatic Play): Verdict
When you reach the bonus round on Extra Juicy Megaways, it's quite rewarding. Since there are only regular wins and losses, the main game can be a little monotonous. The pay from any starting reel mechanism is fairly unique for Megaways, so perhaps that will keep you occupied until the start of the free spins. Pragmatic Play has, in some respects, maintained the original's simplicity, but Megaways and the changes make Extra Juicy Megaways an alluring prospect.
Extra Juicy Megaways excels during free spins, and the way sticky multipliers accumulate at the base of the reels during tumbles may be thrilling. Although multipliers may not remain sticky for the entire duration of the free spins, when stacked together, their values can be fairly high, making a successful tumble sequence pretty lucrative.
Juicy as you may anticipate, particularly if you played the prior slot. Potential is a fascinating subject because the original game promised prizes of up to 60,000 times your investment. Undoubtedly jaw-dropping, but also utopian at the same time? In contrast, Extra Juicy Megaways has a comparatively low win cap of 5,000 times the stake. The 5K jackpot here is certainly more achievable than Extra Juicy's 60k claim, but it's still a touch disappointing for a Megaways game, especially one that depends so heavily on its free spins multipliers.
Extra Juicy Megaways was surprisingly cool, but it could have been a little more engaging. However, fans of the original or fruity game enthusiasts, in general, will enjoy what Extra Juicy Megaways has to offer, as well as anyone else who is interested in the pay anywhere/sticky multiplier combination. Worth watching.
