Re-Spins Feature
Every time you land a winning combination, a Re-Spin is triggered. The symbols that made up the winning combination appear stacked on the reels during the Re-Spin, potentially creating new winning combinations. This feature allows you to capitalise on your initial win with an additional chance to score more.
XXXtreme Spins
A standout feature in this slot, offering a more intense gameplay experience. By opting into XXXtreme Spins, you can guarantee a minimum number of Megaways on each spin. For 10 times your bet, you are guaranteed at least 10,000 Megaways, and for 75 times your bet, you get at least 50,000 Megaways. This feature significantly increases your chances of hitting big wins, as it maximises the number of potential winning ways.

The maximum win potential in this game is 14,400x your bet, offering a significant reward for those willing to take the risk.

Final say
Jack's verdict
While I do love it when classics are revisited with a fresh Megaways twist, this didn't fully launch into the stratosphere. The addition of XXXtreme Spins, guaranteed more ways to win, adding some interest, yet the game mainly revolved around simple respins which at time felt a bit underwhelming given the ambitious title. It was decent for a few spins but lacked the depth needed to keep me engaged.
Tim's verdict
I was hoping for an out-of-this-world experience, but found myself orbiting familiar territory. The betting options and respin feature were notable, but the gameplay lacked the innovative punch expected from a title with 'XXXtreme' in its name. While it managed to capture a lot of the original charm, it didn't offer much beyond that, making it fair for occasional play but not a standout in the crowded Megaways scene.
