Easter Eggspedition Bonus Features
Honestly, there is only one bonus feature here — the ‘Hold’n Win’ Re-Spins Game. Yet, here are two special symbols also present — Wild and Scatter. Let us show you how all those work over here.
Wild
In the Base game, the Super Bunny picture substitutes any paying picture, except for the Scatter. Also, it pays up to x50 by the stake for 5 special symbols on the win line. The Wild is also present in the Bonus Game, yet it plays a slightly different role there. But we will talk about this intriguing aspect a bit later.
Scatter
3+ Scatters (the Easter Egg) trigger the Bonus Game start.
Guaranteed Scatters
In the Base Game, there is a chance of 2 Scatters landing at once during a random spin. That increases your chances of the Bonus Round triggering.
Bonus Game
The Bonus Game is a ‘Hold’n Win’ Re-Spin Round that initially awards only 3 re-spins. After 3+ Scatters have triggered the Bonus Game, the player goes to the 5x3 play grid with two fixed 1x1 size framed positions — one for the Super Bunny (right one) and another for the Sly Fox (left one). Only these and Scatters are allowed to appear in view during the Bonus Game. Each spin dismisses one re-spin on the meter above, but when the Scatter (the Easter Egg) or the Bunny appears on the screen, the number of re-spins restores to the initial one (3) again.
The Bonus Game ends when no more re-spins are left on the meter above the playfield. The maximum allowed number of re-spins is 155. The Bonus Game immediately terminates when all those have consumed, even if there are still re-spins on the meter, after which all currently collected win is credited to the gambler balance.
Easter Eggs
In the Bonus Game, each Easter Egg (the Scatter) comes with a cash prize (x0.5, x1, x2, x5, x10 to the bet) or the x2 Multiplier. Prizes are instantly summarized to be awarded to the player. On top of that, the equivalent sum fills the Cash Pot up. The Multiplier has the only goal — to double the cash currently in the Cash Pot.
Those Scatters that began the current Bonus Game are saved on the screen in the same places until the re-spins start. They hand prizes or the x2 multiplier, upon which re-spins begin. Easter Eggs landed during the previous re-spin always go away when a new one starts, which sets free all the play grid positions, increasing your chances to get at least a single Scatter anywhere on the reels.
Cash Pot
As mentioned above, the same amount equal to the sum of Easter Eggs' prizes also goes to the Cash Pot, which sits in the upper left corner. In this way, Cash Pot collects cash prizes from all Scatters landing during the Bonus Game to hand the player all currently accumulated money when the Super Bunny appears. Also, any Easter Egg can please you with an x2 Multiplier to double the Cash Pot amount, but only after all cash prizes from other simultaneously landed Scatters are successfully collected to the Cash Pot. The maximum Cash Pot win is capped by x6,000 value, upon reaching which no more Easter Eggs' prizes will come to the Cash Pot.
Super Bunny
In the Bonus Game, the Super Bunny character appears only within the framed right-positioned tile. Just after it comes up, the currently accumulated Cash Pot prize is handed to the player. But the Cash Pot value doesn't reset to zero upon that, continuing growth thanks to the new prizes off Easter Eggs that fall on the playfield along the following re-spins. If the Scatter and Bunny land at once, the cash prize is credited to the Cash Pot first, after which the Cash Pot sum is added to the current Bonus Game win amount.
Sly Fox
The Sly Fox lands exclusively inside the left-positioned framed tile. When the Fox appears on the play grid, the Cash Pot value resets to 0. Yet, luckily, the Cash Pot still saves the capacity to continue collecting cash prizes during the following re-spins. But, if the Sly Fox appeared on the screen simultaneously with the Super Bunny, the Cash Pot’s accumulated sum would be safely awarded to the player without any issue.
Our Experience Playing Easter Eggspedition
To explore how profitable this game is, we used real money to play a 300-spin gaming session in this slot. Our initial deposit was precisely €200.
Fortunately, we triggered the Bonus Game already within the 1st hundred spins. That Re-Spin Round brought us €23.5 thanks to 6 re-spins made. Moreover, sometime later, there was the second Bonus Game triggering, which earned due to 27 re-spins, as much as €113.5. The number of Base game wins was 26 (€0.5 — €5.5). After the 100th spin, our balance was €288.5.
We didn’t get even one Bonus Game triggering within the second hundred spins. There were only Base Game prizes in quantity of 19 (€0.5 — €4.5). Their number slightly decreased because of the record no-wins period, which was 25 spins. As a result, upon the 200th spin, we had €231.
The last chance to earn big money came during the third hundred spins. Yet, this time, the Bonus Game has finished just after five re-spins, delivering overall only €9. The number of Base Game prizes totaled 20, whereas the biggest amounted to €9. So, the final game balance was €178.5. Hence, we lost as much as €21.5.
All the statistics:
As you can see, there are no profitable bonus features within the Base Game, due to which the largest prize during our experiment was just €9, whereas no-win pauses reached dozens of spins. So, nothing is surprising that without Bonus Game triggering, your balance more likely will slowly fall to zero level.
Fortunately, the Bonus Game activates here frequently enough. Moreover, there are two Cash-Collecting options — instant wins and Cash Pot. Because of that, cash prizes awarded can bring the benefit twice. Of course, if the Sly Fox doesn’t interrupt your playing by looting all the current Cash Pot savings. On top of that, some Scatters may apply the x2 Multiplier, doubling the current Cash Pot amount.
Another positive aspect we want to highlight is that previously landed Eggs go away with each following re-spin, simplifying falling new ones since each time, the whole playfield is available for landing those. Yet, that does not fully clear the risk of a quick end of the Hold’n Win Bonus Game due to only three re-spins provided to the player. Due to that, there are possible situations when the Bonus Game is not too profitable. For instance, in our experiment along the third hundred spins, re-spins brought us only €9.
Easter Eggspedition Verdict
So, this slot dedicated to the lovely Easter festivity offers a features-abundant Bonus Game and quite an uneventful Base one. During the 'Hold'n Win' Round with re-spins, the Sly Fox and Super Bunny compete for the Cash Pot, containing a big win collected through the Bonus Game, yet even if the Fox steals the whole Cash Pot win, there will still be instant cash prizes available for you due to cash-collecting off easter eggs mechanics. But your chances to grab a big win due to the Cash Pot are high enough, whereas x2 Multipliers can make that prize much bigger.
Yet, beware that this slot RTP value varies broadly from 96.29% to 84.28%. Therefore, before playing on real money, make sure that you choose the best version of the game with the highest RTP value. Also, be ready for not an enjoyable Base Game and not always a big profit of the Bonus one. But, to lucky punters, this game gives a nice opportunity to embrace mind-blowing excitement and even get extraordinary prizes!
