With such a saturation of fruit-themed slots in today's online gaming market, it's getting increasingly harder for game providers to stand out from the rest unless they branch out to other slot genres. On our hands is a semi-interesting, high-volatility, traditional slot game that resembles most fruit slots in more ways than one. The catch? You'll learn that later on!
The Extra Juicy slot is a high-volatility game developed by Pragmatic Play. It includes five reels, three rows and 10 paylines. The RTP (Return to Player) stands at 96.52% at the time of writing.
EXPLORE THE EXTRA JUICY SLOT
Pragmatic Play is a known top dog in the world of online gaming, but the company certainly didn't do itself any favours with the backdrop in Extra Juicy. A few glimmering lights pepper the blue and pink background while some pop music accompanies you while you spin the reels.
Perhaps this was intended. After all, the theme of fruits is largely bland, only serving for new players to try out their first spins before moving on to more complex and potentially rewarding gameplay. However, the Extra Juicy slot is nothing if not packed with potential. A maximum win of 60,000x your stake is very impressive for an online slot in this genre, even though you'll need your fair share of luck to win it.
ABOUT THE GAME
Here's what you need to know before you hit the Extra Juicy playing field.
STEP 1: HOW TO BET
In order to play Extra Juicy by Pragmatic Play, you must first set your stake sizes. The min. bet in this game stands at €0.10, whereas the max. bet is €50, or currency equivalent. Once you've set your stake, you can go ahead and turn the reels! Keep in mind that the amount you net will be proportional to your stake value.
STEP 2: LEARN THE SYMBOLS
The Extra Juicy slot includes a variety of symbols, including cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, blueberries, watermelons and bells. Landing five bells across the same payline will grant you 100x your wager.
This online slot doesn't feature Wild symbols but it does have diamond Scatters. Diamond Scatter symbols are integral to unlocking the Free Spins feature, as you'll see in the next section.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES
Although landing winning combinations will be your most regular source of income, the Free Spins bonus round will definitely help you bring home more cash. This is how you can bag some free spins in this online slot.
PROGRESSIVE MULTIPLIER FREE SPINS FEATURE
To trigger some free spins, you'll have to land three Scatters on reels one, three and five to unlock the Free Spins bonus round, which will grant you twelve free spins.
Above the reels, you'll have a progressive multiplier value that will increment by 1 with each spin. This means that you'll have a 12x multiplier by the last spin, but if you trigger the feature again, you'll continue where you've left off! So, if you unlock free spins twice in a row, you'll have a total of 24x multiplier by the end of your second free spins round.
This is also how you can theoretically win the max. win in Extra Juicy. By unlocking free spins four times in a row, you will have accumulated a 60x multiplier by the last of your spins.
PLAY THE EXTRA JUICY DEMO
How could we close off this Extra Juicy slot review without a mention of the demo mode? As always, we recommend to start playing the demo before trying some spins with your own cash. If you're not sure what demos are, stick around!
The demo mode is a gaming mode available in all the best online casinos that includes all the same features and mechanics you can expect when digging into the actual gameplay. The only difference is that you won’t be able to bag real cash prizes when testing out the free slots.
The slot provider — in this case, Pragmatic Play — allocates demo players a virtual money bankroll to spin Extra Juicy for free. Although demos offer the same payout as the base game, players won’t be able to collect any of the winnings they earn in the demo. Nevertheless, this free-play version of the game is a great way to try some test spins before you try winning real cash in the base game.
Remember that there may be registration required to take the demo for a whirl. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to complete the verification process of your account to access the demos. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play as a visitor without having to sign in — terms apply.
