Milkshake XXXtreme Slot Review

Milkshake XXXtreme Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Milkshake XXXtreme slot is played on a 6×6 grid with a Scatter Pays mechanic. Like the Cupcakes slot, you need to land 8 or more matching symbol in any position on the grid. Grid slots on other hand require you to land matching symbols adjacent to one another. In terms of Scatter Pays, the more matching symbols appearing anywhere on the grid, the bigger the payout.

Bets wise, you can play Milkshake XXXtreme from 25p to £500 per spin. To change your stake/bet, there is a Coins icon below the grid. Click/press this to display all available options. Players outside the UK have 2 more options when playing. There is an Autoplay function which allows up to 1,000 autospins along with balance, single win and win limits. If you want quicker spin speed, enable Turbo Mode with the button to right of the main ‘Spin’ button.

The Milkshake XXXtreme RTP is 96.06% which is marginally higher than the 96% online slots average. NetEnt have also produced a 94.02% RTP version which may be available at various UK online casinos. Unfortunately, there is no hit frequency rate information at present.

When it comes volatility, the Milkshake XXXtreme slot is in the low to medium bracket. This means a steady stream of lower wins to keep your balance ticking along. Finally, the max win is 7,100 x your total bet. Key to the bigger wins are multipliers which can reach up to 100x.

Theme – fill up milkshakes for guaranteed brain freeze-free fun

With a milkshake theme, the Milkshake XXXtreme slot is the sequel to Cupcakes. Colourful and fun, pinks and purples dominate the colour scheme. The aim is to fill glasses to the brim with delicious ice cream and sprinkle them with shiny candies.

Certain to satisfy your sweet tooth, the visuals are soft and dreamy. The soundtrack is quite generic too. According to Wikipedia, milkshakes are sweet beverages made by blending milk, ice cream and flavourings or sweeteners. These can include fruit syrup, fruit and even protein powder for the fitness orientated. It’s very clear here that NetEnt is focussing on the dessert side of things for pure indulgence.

On the 6×6 grid, you will see low value spade, club, diamond and heart candies. The higher value symbols include bubblegum, mint, chocolate and strawberry syrup-soaked ice cream scoops. Best paying is the strawberry ice cream scoop symbol which awards 0.8, 1.4, 3 or 4 x bet for 8-12, 13-16, 17-21 or 22-36 anywhere on the grid, respectively.

The other symbol of note is the Milk Carton Wild symbol. This can appear anywhere on the grid. As expected, it substitutes for all paying symbols above. There are no traditional scatter or bonus symbols.

Milkshake XXXtreme Mobile

Released on the 23^rd of February 2023, the Milkshake XXXtreme slot was produced using the latest HTML5 technology. This means you are guaranteed brain freeze-free fun on mobile, laptop, PC and/or tablet devices. Mobile slots player? It’s been optimised for play on iOS, Android and Windows smartphones.

Milkshake XXXtreme Bonus Features

The Milkshake XXXtreme slot has 4 bonus features. With Avalanches for successive wins, fill milkshake glasses next to the grid to benefit from multipliers up to 100x. You can land multiple milkshake glasses with multipliers combining. There are 2 Boosters which increase multipliers and/or add rainbow milkshake glasses which collect wins from all coloured symbols. Finally, there’s an XXXtreme Spins feature where you pay more per spin to guarantee wilds and extra milkshake glasses.

Avalanche feature

A winning combination of 8 or more matching symbols landing anywhere on the grid will activate the Avalanche feature. Winning scattered combinations explode and disappear leaving space for new symbols to land. Giving you another chance to win, the Avalanches continue until no more new wins are created.

The Avalanche feature is common staple in many NetEnt slots. Also known as Chain Reactions or Cascades, it can be found in popular slots. The first game to offer it was Gonzo’s Quest (by NetEnt).

Milkshake feature

On every spin, 1 milkshake glass rolls to the side of the reels/grid. The milkshake glass will then be assigned a colour, multiplier and starting number of points:

When a winning combination is created, the milkshake glasses collect points from the wins of the same colour. When a milkshake glass collects 20 points or more, it disappears and 2 new random milkshake glasses are added to the play area. Up to 4 are possible.

At the end of each spin, the total win is multiplied by the sum of multipliers of all milkshake glasses that have disappeared from the play area.

Booster feature

The Booster feature can randomly be triggered on any spin or Avalanche. A Multiplier Booster or Color Booster is randomly applied to any milkshake glass that appears in the play area. Here is what they offer:

Importantly, rainbow milkshake glasses collect points from all wins regardless of colour. It acts a bit like a joker or wild symbol in that respect.

XXXtreme Spins feature

Feeling hungry? The Milkshake XXXtreme slot comes with an XXXtreme Spins feature. This is triggered by clicking/pressing the ‘Activate XXXtreme Spins’ button to the side of the grid. For an increased bet per spin, you can begin a spin with up to 4 milkshake glasses as well as guaranteed wilds. Here are your 2 options:

Milkshake XXXtreme Review Summary – fill milkshakes for velvet-smooth wins

Following on from the Cupcakes game, the Milkshake XXXtreme slot is another Scatter Pays title from NetEnt. Sickly sweet, this will appeal to those who have a sweet tooth and crave a sugar rush. Graphically, the colour palette is soft with lots of pinks and purples. Candy themed slots are on the rise and this certainly fits into that category nicely.

In terms of the gameplay, you’re right to think that this game will be similar to NetEnt’s Starburst XXXtreme slot. The only similarity is the XXXtreme Spins feature where you play with a higher stake in return for spins with up to 4 guaranteed milkshake glasses and up to 2 guaranteed wilds.

The aim in Milkshake XXXtreme is to land winning combinations and charge them with multipliers from filled milkshake glasses. Avalanches can lead to lots of wins building up which in turn will be subject to combined multipliers of filled milkshake glasses. Don’t underestimate the power of the Booster feature which increases multipliers and can award a rainbow milkshake glasses that collects wins from all symbols.

All in all, the Milkshake XXXtreme slot is a decent game if you like Scatter Pays slots. With 7,100 x bet max wins, the XXXtreme part will make you instantly think of Starburst XXXtreme which comes with 200,000 x bet top payouts. That’s quite the difference. Are 95 x bet spins worth the risk for a 7,100 x bet max payout? I think not.
