One may think that Extreme Pay online slot machine is all about extreme sports, martial arts or some edgy theme, but in fact the slot is quite tame and surprisingly ordinary. It does come with flattering payouts, so that may be where the name comes from. Otherwise, there’s not a single extreme thing about it! Extreme Pay was created by Oryx Gaming and released in the summer of 2019. Immediately, people became drawn to it because it looks and feels exactly like one of those slot machines you would find in casino or hotel lobbies, pubs or entertainment centres.
The developer didn’t go as far as to depict the first generation of machines, the mechanical ones with levers. Instead, the product ended up looking like a cabinet with lots of glowing buttons and displays. One of the things Extreme Pay has that is not typical for real-life slots is a configuration of four reels; the slot benefits from 4 columns and 3 rows. Only the middle row is a paying line. To form a winning combo, you have to land 3 or more identical images of the same symbol on it. From our experience, this will happen often enough. Paytable symbols include red sevens, white sevens, blue sevens, orange triple bars, blue double bars, green bars, lemons, plums, oranges and cherries.
Extreme Pay does not feature any Wilds, Bonus symbols, free spins or picking bonus rounds. Instead, it turns up the excitement with a simple payout strategy. The stake per bet ranges from 1 coin to 10 coins, and each wager incorporates multipliers. The highest multiplier is applied when you play with 6, 8 or 10 coins. These are the “extreme pays”. In other words, the more you bet, the bigger the rewards for winning combinations. The lowest paying icon is the cherry, which only delivers a payoff of two times the bet, followed by the other types of fruit. Bars will bring you slightly larger multipliers, whereas a combination of 4 sevens on the middle row will get you 1,000x the stake when played with 1-5 coins, or a 1,250x the bet when played with 6, 8 or 10 coins. This decision will affect the return in the long run; expect the RTP to be 94.35% (1-5 coins) or to go up to 95.21% (6, 8 and 10 coins).
Are you willing to go back in time and experience some of the ancient charms of a classic fruit machine? While the graphics lay flat in comparison to contemporary video slots, the action on the reels is undeniable. You can play this game on mobile or desktop and take pleasure in its hit frequency. Wins happen fairly often and that creates a sense of accomplishment, even if the balance is not even that much higher afterwards.
