Xpander Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Xpander?

You can win up to 10000X the bet.

What features are in the slot Xpander?

The features are Cascade, Wild Symbol, Multiplier, Double Up, Grow, Free Spins and Bonus Buy.

Cascade

When you spin the reels and create a winning cluster, the Cascade feature is activated. Then all the symbols that were part of the winning combination will disappear from the reels and then new symbols will fall down to cover the empty positions. This continues as long as new winning combinations are created.

Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols. The only symbol it doesn’t substitute for is the scatter symbols.

Multiplier

With each spin made, a multiplier will jump around to new positions on the reels, where it has a 2X multiplier and a size of 1X1. If you create a winning cluster where this multiplier is included, the multiplier will be multiplied with the win. The multiplier obtained will reset when no more winnings are created in the base game, but in the bonus game the progress will remain during the remaining spins. This multiplier can be up to 128X and you can land upgrade symbols that make it easier to obtain this max sized multiplier, where these are Double Up and Grow.

Double Up

This symbol will double the current size of the multiplier and you can also land multiple Double Up symbols at the same time. The maximum size that the multiplier can have is 128X.

Grow

This symbol will increase the size of the multiplier, where it can be up to 4X4. By collecting 3 grow symbols, the size of the multiplier is increased, where it can increase to 2X2, 3X3 and finally to 4X4. In addition, you will receive a respin each time the multiplier grows.

Free Spins

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is activated. You are then welcomed with 5 free spins and you can land 1Up symbols that give you 1 extra spin per symbol.

The big difference in this feature compared to the base game is that the multiplier progress will be saved during the spins. This increases the chances of obtaining the maximum multiplier of 128X and size of 4X4.

Bonus Buy

If you want to go directly to the Free Spins feature, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. You then pay 129X the bet and then land 3 or more scatter symbols that activate the bonus feature. Within this feature, the RTP is slightly reduced to 96.20% from the previous 96.25%.

Xpander Slot Conclusion

Although this is a slot that is part of the Pocketz series, where the effects are limited, this slot gives a good design impression. Where Hacksaw Gaming uses the iconic and classic fruit symbols, which then get a futuristic touch to its surroundings. The jumping multipliers that we were introduced to in their Hop’N’Pop quickly became popular, as its multiplying effect quickly proved to generate huge profits. The big difference is that within this slot you can only land 1 jumping multiplier, while Hop’N’Pop could land more at the same time. Instead, we have upgrade symbols that can both increase the multiplier size by up to 128X and the size of this multiplier to 4X4.

In the base game, the progress you have created will disappear if no more wins are made, so the Free Spins feature will be much more fun as the progress is saved through the remaining spins. You are welcomed with 5 free spins and it may sound very low at first, but thanks to the cascade feature and the 1Up symbols that give extra free spins, the session can be very long. Where there will be incredibly powerful spins if you manage to get the multiplier to become 4X4 with a larger multiplier, a bit like the Juicy Fruits slot where you can get a giant wild that jumps around.

The layout of the game is very entertaining, where the big focus is on the game's jumping multiplier which constantly gives a thrill to the spins. Like many other games from this game provider, it has a high potential max win, where this time it is at 10000X the bet. The cascade feature goes very harmoniously with the jumping multiplier that is constantly looking for new places where it can generate bigger profits.

Xpander is a slot where we once again get to take part in a fantastic jumping multiplier, which can certainly make the spins more festive and the winnings bigger.
