Pixel Paws Slot Review

Remember Tamagotchis🤔?

Those adorable digital pets we obsessively cared for, feeding them, playing with them, and cleaning up their pixelated poop until they inevitably met their untimely demise due to neglect, a faulty battery, or a tragic case of forgetting to pause them before going to class😭.

Well, Pixel Paws slot from AvatarUX is like a Tamagotchi with blocky animals in a retro-inspired game. But don't worry. These pixelated pets aren't here to guilt you about your past digital pet-parenting failures. They're here to help you win big🤑.

Gameplay

Pixel Paws slot is a quirky game with 5 reels and 4 rows and up to 16,807 ways to win. Winning symbols are removed from the reels. Symbols above the reels drop-down, and new symbols cascade from above.

To the left of the reels is the Loaded Reel that spins from the bottom up. I'll get into that in a minute. Oh, and a bonus feature, you can change the color of the background of the game by tapping the paint roller button on the left of the screen.

The high symbols are a red moody cat, a goofy purple dog, a screaming green bird, a derpy blue fish, and an insane-looking squirrel. The Wild symbol is a hamburger that can substitute for any of the pay symbols except the Coin symbols.

Coin symbols carry possible values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, and 100x your bet. The Bonus Game is triggered when 5 or more land in the base game.

This game's RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96%, and it has medium volatility. You can bet between $0.10 and $10. Don't let the low betting range put you off, though. An impressive 20,000x max multiplier can lead to $200,000 if you're playing with the top bet.

The Trigger Zone and Grid Expansion can also appear during the Bonus Game.

HOLD AND WIN

When this game starts, you're awarded 3 Re-spins. Only Coin symbols appear on the reels, and the number of Re-spins is reset. Coin symbols land and then drop to the lowest position on the reels it can drop to.

New Loaded Reel rewards land every Re-spin and move up every cascade. The game continues until no new Coin symbols land, and you run out of Re-spins.

ANTE BET

You can ensure no blank symbols appear on the Loaded Reel for 5x your bet.

Performance

Unlike the old game cartridges we used to play 8-bit games, I didn't have to blow into this game to get it working again.

Maximum Win

These are the types of stats you want to see in a game. The most you can win is 20,000x your bet, leading to the $200,000 max win if you're wagering the highest bet in the range, which starts at $0.10 and ends at $10.

Conclusion

This is Avatar UX's second Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). game to feature the Loaded Reel mechanic, the first being Depths of Fortune slot. I'm a huge fan.

The Loaded Reel triggers helpful features that boost the possibility of landing a win or increasing the current win. During the Bonus Game, though, it helps boost your total win for the round.

The cheapest Buy Bonus option is more affordable than most games.

The most impressive part of this game is the massive max win that doesn't require too much risk for you to win. For a medium volatility game, this is outlandish. Definitely give this game a go.
