Expansion! Slot Review

I bumped into an old middle school buddy the other day after not seeing him for almost 25 years. 🤨

Now, I’m no 🖼️ oil painting or Michelangelo’s David, but I can look in the mirror and still see the remnants of the kid I used to be.

It took me a full 30 seconds to figure out who he was as he rattled off details of our school days to jog my memory. He ended up just telling me his name, which eventually jogged my memory.

It wasn’t just my addled brain either. Life had been crueler than usual to this poor dude. It looked like the ugly truck 🚛 had run him over, reversed, and repeated it until he was wider than he was tall! 😧

He was as skinny as the rest of us when we were kids. Now he looks like he’s eaten about 10 children the size he used to be. And swallowed some teeth in the process. 🦷

He’s the waddling, sweating proof that unchecked expansion is not a good thing. Except if we’re talking about the delightful Expansion slot from Betsoft Gaming.

Gameplay

Expansion slot has an RTP of 96.08% and is a medium-volatility game.

You can play with any fiat or crypto currency you like, with the exception of the Japanese yen.

Features

WILDS

The Wild symbol is a UFO, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol and can appear on any reel.

Expansion slot also has a Directional Wild that can land on reels 2, 3, and 4.

When a Directional Wild symbol lands and all the reels come to a stop, its ray gun spins and fires in one of the 8 directions surrounding its position, transforming all the symbols in its path into Wild symbols.

After all the Wilds are in place, any winning combinations are paid out.

SCATTERS

The Scatter symbol is a little red planet. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols awards 8, 12, or 15 Free Spins, respectively.

MYSTERY SYMBOLS

Each reel contains Stacked Mystery Symbol positions that transform into the same symbol for each spin.

FREE SPINS

During Free Spins, the Directional Wild gains an extra blast from its ray gun, firing twice in two directions, turning all the symbols in its blast path into Wild symbols.

There is also an overall multiplier of either 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, or 10x that is applied to the entire win for that Free Spin and resets for each Free Spin.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters retriggers 8, 12, or 15 Free Spins, respectively.

BUY BONUS

If you get tired of waiting for Free Spins, Expansion slot kindly allows you to purchase them.

• 8 Free Spins = 60x your current bet.
• 12 Free Spins = 90x your current bet.
• 15 Free Spins = 113x your current bet.

## Performance

I tested Expansion slot on my Windows Laptop and Android phone. I used Google Chrome and DuckDuckGo, respectively. I didn’t encounter any bugs, glitches, or loading issues while playing this slot.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at €0.3 and goes up to €96, and if you pair the biggest bet with the highest multiplier of 1,213x, you’ll walk away with the game’s main prize of €116,448.

Conclusion

Betsoft came out with a real winner when they released Expansion slot. The game looks awesome and is a lot of fun to play, despite having mostly ordinary features.

The one feature that does stand out is the Directional Wild. I got pumped whenever I landed one, even when I expected to make minor wins.

Free Spins is where you make your money, though, and hitting one of the higher random overall multiplier values and a Directional Wild that turns symbols into Wilds in two directions can score you some decent gains.

If you’re looking for a medium-volatility game, which don’t seem to be as popular as high volatility-games these days, Expansion slot is one I’m certain you will keep coming back to.
