Milkshake XXXtreme

NetEnt is back with another rendition of their XXXtreme series but unlike Starburst XXXtreme this milkshake-themed slot is not based on a previous release. Instead, NetEnt takes a new approach with exciting milkshake multipliers. Milkshake XXXtreme is a scattered pays type of game where specific wins fill in the glass of deliciousness and award boosters to your wins.

Though the game may look like an adorable pastel-painted Candyland experience, it is high-paced and action-packed nonetheless. You will be able to chain wins with the cascading wins feature and boost them with various multipliers on every spin.

The overall statistics of the game look promising with a 96.06% RTP value and 7100x the bet maximum win. The payouts seem well-rounded but we will discuss that more later. Without further ado, let us dive into this Milkshake XXXtreme slot review and check out the details of the game.

When you first open this NetEnt bag of delicious goods, you will notice various candy symbols and a milkshake glass. With each spin you will be filling the glass for potential rewards. As we mentioned, this is not a standard payline slot. Instead, you will be trying to land scattered pays which means that at least 8 identical symbols anywhere on the reels signify a win.

And that’s not all, each win will trigger the NetEnt avalanche causing a cascading win to happen. The winning symbols will disappear and new ones will populate the board in their place for more potential wins. The possibilities are limitless and there is no fixed number of winning ways. If you are lucky enough, you can win dozens of times in a single spin. And all these chained wins trigger various special features we will cover later.

The regular symbols of course look like sweets with 8 of them in total. The 4 higher-winning ones look like various flavors of ice cream. The 4 low-win ones appear as candy. It is important which ones you win with because specific combinations trigger specific bonus features. We’ll explain soon.

As far as betting options are concerned there are two major choices. First is the regular bet where you can place anywhere from $0.25 to $50 for a chance to win the maximum payout of 7100x the stake. This is a decent reward potential with a high ceiling. However, there is also the option of the XXXtreme bet. Placing the XXXtreme bet will trigger a special spin but it will cost you. The XXXtreme bet for a single spin costs 10x your normal bet and 95x your normal bet with added special features. You can deactivate this special bet at any time.

Furthermore, when it comes to regular symbol payouts, they are on the lower side. The maximum you can get for a single win is 4x the bet by arranging 22+ plus identical highest-winning symbols. That being said, this is to balance the cascading wins feature and the multipliers. Once you start chaining wins and applying multipliers to them the payouts can get quite high.

NetEnt’s Milkshake XXXtreme has a few special mechanics that make it unique and explosive when it comes to generating grand payouts. Let us cover all of them:

• Scatter Pays, Avalanche, and Wilds – These are your main base game mechanics and your bread and butter. You will be landing scatter pay combinations for a win and then triggering the cascading wins for multiple potential wins per spin. Finally, wilds will help you with this by substituting for symbols to reach a winning combination.
• Milkshake Feature – At the start of each spin, one milkshake is added to the play area. This milkshake is then assigned a color based on the regular symbols red, green, orange, or blue. Additionally, the milkshake is assigned a random multiplier 2x to 100x the bet and a number of starting points from 2 to 12. Milkshakes collect points from scattered wins of the same color symbols and when they reach 20 points, they disappear and two new random milkshakes are added. In the end, the total win for that spin is multiplied by the total number of milkshake multipliers you have scored.
• Booster – In the booster feature, a multiplier booster or a color booster is randomly applied to any milkshake added to the play area at the start of the spins or after a cascading win. Color boosters replace any milkshake with a rainbow-colored one that is fuelled by any color.

In addition to XXXtreme spins you can trigger at any time, this is a pretty powerful selection of extra features. Keep chaining cascading wins and you will win big.
