Juicy Crush Halloween Slot Review

My grade school crush was Mrs. Creswell. You see, at that age, I’d already developed an attraction to ladies’ fun bags and Mrs. Creswell’s were magnificently proportioned. 🏀🏀

Her glorious chesticles used to shimmy and shake in her shirt like kittens playing with a ball of yarn. It was mesmerizing, and in all the years that she was my teacher, I don’t think I looked her in the eyes even once. 😳

Disembodied eyeballs are just one of the symbols you’ll find in Juicy Crush Halloween slot from Onlyplay. 👀 This is an impressive game with one major flaw – read on to see if it’s something you can live with.

Gameplay

A Halloween-themed game with a disco soundtrack? Errr, okay – that’s a bit weird. The game area looks like a three-year-old got hold of a Crayola set and went to town with purple, blue, orange, and green.

There are 6 reels and 6 rows in this Cluster Pays game. If you’re a newbie, let me explain how the latter works. Any symbols involved in a win explode and are replaced by new symbols.

This action means you could have even more wins and so the cycle continues until no more wins are possible. Oh, and there is a caveat here; Wilds can’t explode. There are no traditional paylines either – winning symbols pay no matter where they land on the grid.

Wilds appear in the base game and Free Spins round, replacing all other symbols.

A look at the stats reveals an RTP of 96.18%, a high volatility rate, a generous max multiplier of 10,180x but a top prize that’s on the deficient side at €101,800. There are two forms of cryptocurrency you won’t be able to play with: Ether and Litecoin.

The square format of the grid means that Juicy Crush Halloween slot suits a mobile phone screen perfectly; and in either orientation. The controls are easy to use, too.

Features

FREE SPINS:

The progress meter next to the reels is the critical ingredient of the Free Spins round. In the base game, your objective is to fill the meter by racking up explosions – the more you score, the more the progress bar gets filled.

You’ll notice 3 darkly-colored balls with smaller colorful ones on them – like a virus. 🙊 They’re known as Color Boosters.

Color Boosters makes all similar symbols on the grid explode, boosting your chances of scoring new winning combinations. It also adds 5 additional spins to the 10 you get when you start the Free Spins round so you can end up with 25 spins.

Once Free Spins have started, the meter takes on a different role. Now, it’s a multiplier meter, and explosions fill the meter and increase the active multiplier by 1x each time.

The possible multiplier values you can achieve are 10x, 20x, 30x, 50x, and 100x.

TNT BOOSTER:

You’ll see this button to the left of the grid, but you can only use the feature once you’ve filled in the progress meter surrounding the TNT button.

Spinning the reels is all you need to fill the progress bar, but it takes time. Once the TNT Booster is active, you’ll have one minute within any spin to decide when you want to use, it. All you have to do then is hit the TNT icon and all of the symbols will be removed from the reels.

New symbols will populate the grid and if you’re lucky, these will result in Cluster Pays that could reward you with some serious moolah.

SPEED UP BONUS:

This is a Buy Bonus feature and you can get Free Spins for 37x or the TNT Booster for 25x your bet. How amazingly low are these prices?

Performance

I didn’t experience any glitches or errors while testing Juicy Crush Halloween slot.

Maximum Win

You’ll only need to bet a maximum of €10 for a shot at the €101,800 top prize, as the largest multiplier available is 10,180x. The minimum bet is €0.50, in case you’re interested.

Conclusion

I had a great time playing Juicy Crush Halloween slot – I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would.

In my opinion, the best strategy is to use the TNT Booster to remove all of the symbols once the progress bar is already at least halfway full.

In other words, let the base game explosions and the Color Booster do the initial work to remove symbols and fill the progress bar as much as possible.

Then purchase the TNT Booster and hit it to fill that meter up to the brim. I did this and managed to score mega wins and 25 spins.

The other thing I appreciated was the cost of the Buy Bonus. Where else can you pay 37x for Free Spins or 25x for a separate feature (the TNT Booster)?

And of course, the features are where you wanna be so with such a low barrier to entry, you can set yourself up in the best possible way, regularly.

The fly in the ointment is the volatility rate/max win mismatch that seems to be plaguing many games these days. Is that enough to put you off playing? You’ll need to decide.
