Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese Slot Overview

Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese is a casino slot from Reel Kingdom, where we visit a…special burger joint. 

One of the most prominent slot series in the modern era is the Big Bass. It’s often associated with Pragmatic Play, but it’s important to give credit where credit’s due and note that Reel Kingdom, a studio operating through Pragmatic, is the actual creator. But although the Big Bass and Floating Dragon games are very popular, Reel Kingdom needs to widen its portfolio a bit. Sure, they’ve created plenty of other games, but few have been any big success as far as we can see. Thus, they remain somewhat of a one-trick pony until they prove otherwise. Perhaps Big Burger can change our minds, but we need to see more than a funny theme and an extremely long title. Let’s dig in!

Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese Slot Information

The game takes place in what seems to be an old-school, American-style burger joint. We first thought that it was floating in the air, but it’s just very fast-paced clouds moving past us outside. The grid is located in the mouth of a hamburger, with lettuce as its teeth. An absurd setting, but a fun one.

Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols consist of 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. A full line of 6 with one of these pays 5x-10x the bet. The higher-paying symbols include drinks, fries, tomatoes, onion rings, and bacon & eggs. Six-of-a-kind with these pays 20x-500x the bet. Scatter symbols, Pop symbols, and Hot Dog symbols are also available, but more on that in a bit.

Free Spins

Landing 3 Scatter symbols awards 10 Free Spins. During Free Spins, payways are implemented, so the symbols don’t have to land in a specific line to create a winning combination. The following features are also in play:

Pop Symbol

Whenever a Pop Symbol lands, after winning combinations are paid, a random symbol currently on the screen is selected, and you will be paid 0.5x the bet per symbol selected.

Expand Symbol

The Expand symbol is a piece of cheese with “UP” written on it. The first time it hits, the size of the grid is increased by 1 row horizontally. The second time it hits, the size of the grid is increased by 1 more row horizontally. The third time it hits, the size of the grid is increased by 1 reel vertically. If you land it more times, it becomes Wild and substitutes for other paying symbols.

Ketchup Bottle

Adds a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x on all instances of a random symbol that is part of a winning combination. 

Mustard Bottle

Changes random symbols on the grid into other random paying symbols that are guaranteed to form winning combinations

Extra Bet

The extra bet can be activated at an extra cost of 50% of the bet per spin, increasing your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature. 

Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese Slot Conclusion

It’s hard to know where to begin with the conclusion of this game. The theme is bizarre, the title very long, and the gameplay all over the place. Upon entering the game, we naturally assumed that the hot dog cash prizes would be the core mechanic of the game, seeing its payout list on the left side of the grid. That didn’t really excite us as we’ve seen too many “land 9 x symbols to win x prize” games before, but it turns out that it’s not even a thing in the bonus. Once you trigger the bonus, the hot dogs are removed, and it’s instead about landing other ingredients to grow the grid and hit big wins. 

And to be honest, the Free Spins feature is a lot more fun than if it would’ve been about collecting hot dogs. However, we think that the game is just a bit much. A great slot game is either perfect in its simplicity or complex in an impressive way. With Big Burger, it feels like they’ve just thrown in a few mechanics without much thought. With that said, the Free Spins actually have some solid potential, and the max win frequency of 1 in 112149 spins is very good.

Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese by Reel Kingdom is a strange game, but it still manages to get you excited once in a while.
