Juice Box Slot
If you’ve never heard the words ‘juice box’, this slot is going to raise a lot of questions for you, which we feel we should elaborate on before we go any further. A juice box often refers to a carton of fruit juice, and can normally be found in children’s lunchboxes and on family picnics; it does have a fair few other meanings, but we can tell from this slot machine that they don’t count. Trust us on this.
What we were expecting was a load of brightly coloured cartons filled with different flavours of beverages with possibly a school type theme - what we got was a load of fruits shaped into cubes. Literal juice boxes. We don’t know if we’re impressed or not, but it’s yet another classic idea from PlayPearls that you probably won’t find elsewhere.
And as if that wasn’t enough to get you betting already, the fact that there are up to 50 paylines across these 5 reels will surely have you wanting to have a punt, think of all those juicy returns you can get if you do!
5 a Day
Sadly this title isn’t your chance to claim you’ve had one of your five a day, but it does mean you get to look at fruit, which is kind of like the same thing. What isn’t the same here though are the wilds you’ll come across, and yes we do mean wilds in a plural sense for there are six in total and only one does its usual job.
To get any of the special five upon your reels, you’ll first need to trigger it via the scatter symbol, which in this instance is a couple of squared off cherries that look like they belong in Minecraft rather than here. They can end up anywhere on your grid for this to activate, but you do need at least three of them.
Seeing as there are five different symbols all the same, we thought it was kinder to you to break them down clearly so that you can spot one from the other. Every wild is a golden apple, but the heart shape within will change colour.
- Pink: Here users will get 20 free spins and either x2, x3 or x5 multiplier.
- Green: When you find the green wilds you’ll get less spins capping off at 15, but between x3 and x8 multipliers.
- Purple: Now you get only 10 spins but a greater multiplier range of up to x10.
- Gold: Users now get 8 spins but either x8, x10 or x15 multiplier.
- Blue: Customers will experience the lowest amount of free spins at just 5, but the highest of the multipliers with the maximum being x30.
And just in case you was still curious about what the normal wild looks like, and what it does, it is gold with a black heart, and will sub every single tile expect for the scatter.
Healthy Living
If you’re sold on tasting all those scrumptious apples (and who wouldn’t be at this point?), you’ll need to actually pay for them if you intend to get any kind of return, and so you need to punt.
The betting range on all PlayPearls slots are very forgiving, and this one is no different - the starting point is a low 0.01 and increases up until it hits the 0.50. As you can see, it’s super low to make playing with all those paylines as manageable as possible.
In regards to those paylines, they are fixed into place in this game, so you’re unable to change them at your leisure, which probably explains why the pay-in is so minute. If you’re really worried about all the costs adding up, just go for the min amount as it’ll only ever add up to 0.50 for the whole game.
Normally we’d moan about the lack of max bet button, but considering how low the maximum bet is, it makes sense that there isn’t one. What Play Pearls do provide you with though is an autoplay option, which is always a welcomed sight when you play a lot of slot machines; tap to begin and tap to stop it, there’s nothing else to do.
Full of Goodness?
Juice Box actually surprised us – we came in expecting the worse and left feeling quite good about the experience. The payouts aren’t amazing, but that seems to be what we’ve come to expect from the brand now, but when you have extras like those wilds the lack of money is soon compensated for.
