Milkshake XXXtreme Review

This reviewer is old enough to remember when a coffee was simply black with or without cream and sugar. Ordering a coffee these days almost requires a university degree in the field, and the same goes for milkshakes. This is what progress is all about, apparently, but we’re unsure if Milkshake XXXtreme is a progression or regression of NetEnt’s XXXtreme series. One thing is for sure, it’s far less “extreme” than the original Starburst XXXtreme.

The 6x6 Pay Anywhere grid is filled to the brim with candy and ice cream, and eligible players can activate enhanced XXXtreme Spins that come with 2 options. The name of the game is Milkshake Multipliers up to x100, and you can get up to 4 in a single Avalanche sequence. A random booster will enhance the multiplier, or make it easier to upgrade for more, and the 7,100x potential is perhaps a bit “extreme” for a low to medium volatile installment.

Milkshake XXXtreme Slot Features

You get 36 symbols dropping in per spin, and you need at least 8 matching symbols in view to win. This Pay Anywhere scatter win system also comes with an Avalanche mechanic, which means that winning symbols are removed.

You get a Milkshake glass on the left-hand side per spin, and they come with random colors of blue, green, red, or orange. The Milkshake also comes with a multiplier between x2 and x100, or starting points between 2 and 12. Winning symbols that match the Milkshake color are collected by it, which increases its points.

Filling the Milkshake with 20 points awards 2 new random Milkshakes, and you can get up to 4 Milkshakes at the same time. The multipliers of each Milkshake are added together, and will boost the total win from the Avalanche sequence.

The Multiplier/Color Booster Features can trigger at random times, and the Multiplier Booster can upgrade the Milkshake Multiplier to a higher value of x4 to x100, while the number of points remain unchanged.

Alternatively, the Color Booster replaces the milkshakes with a Rainbow Milkshake, and these collect points from all scatter wins.

The XXXtreme Spins feature is basically a feature buy option that’s available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. It gives eligible players 2 options as follows:

• Pay 10x your stake to get 2 Milkshakes, and a guaranteed wild per spin.
• Pay 95x your stake to get 4 Milkshakes, and 2 guaranteed wilds per spin.

Review Summary

First of all, what NetEnt is proving with this release is that their XXXtreme series, if we can call it that yet, is not gonna be very consistent. Starburst XXXtreme was indeed a very extreme release in all regards, but the only “extreme” thing you get here is no bonus round and the option of paying for rather expensive enhanced spins. Visually, the milkshake theme will probably make your mouth water, and it’s a tad more original than yet another candyland release.

The lack of a bonus round will probably be a dealbreaker for some players though, but avalanche scatter wins that build milkshake multipliers is kind of entertaining overall. Closing in on the 7,100x potential will take one heck of a cascading sequence though, but anything can happen if you get the multiplier booster. The rainbow milkshake is helpful as well, but it’s too bad that not all players will be able to partake in the XXXtreme part of this release. We would’ve preferred if the potential was more extreme to be honest, but it is what it is.

Pros

• Scatter Pay system w/ Avalanche Wins
• Milkshake Multipliers up to x100
• Can upgrade to get up to 4 Milkshakes
• Random Multiplier Booster
• Win up to 7,100x your stake

Cons

• Not as “extreme” as Starburst XXXtreme
