The Pick N Mix X UP slot game is a collaboration between Microgaming and Alchemy Gaming, combining the nostalgic appeal of sweets with classic slot features. With 5 reels and 3 rows, this slot offers some intriguing elements. However, it is important to note that it has a disappointing payout percentage of 94.04%, lower than the average of 96%, which means there is a higher likelihood of losing money. The slot features 243 pay lines and allows for a minimum bet of €0.1 and a maximum bet of €20, with a maximum win of 10,000 times your stake.
One interesting feature of this slot is the X Up feature, which is triggered when you land two X Up scatters anywhere on the reels. This grants you an X Up token, which is marked off on the multiplier counter on the left side of the screen. Collecting more tokens will increase your position on the multiplier scale. It is worth noting that the multiplier level will continue to rise during the base game, but it will not activate until you enter the bonus round. Additionally, the multiplier reached is saved for each bet level, so changing your bet size before entering the bonus round will require you to start over.
To trigger the bonus round, you need to land three X Up scatters on the same spin, which awards you 8 Free Spins. The multiplier you have reached will now become active, enhancing all winning combinations. If you manage to land two X Up scatters during the bonus round, you will receive an extra +2 spins and further boost the multiplier.
For players who prefer not to spend too much time collecting X Up scatters, there is an alternative option available. You can choose to purchase the bonus round directly from the in-game menu.
