The world of online slots is a jungle where developers fiercely battle for their share of the lucrative market. To add more excitement to games and attract more players, they come up with innovative bonus features and mechanics. It’s as simple as that.
Swintt is a relatively new name in the business, but since its inception in 2019, the Malta-based game supplier has demonstrated the strength of its development team. In the process of establishing its global footprint, the company has shown that its developers can think outside the box. The Xtra series perfectly illustrates this claim.
The series features several diversely-themed pokies with unique mechanics. One of the mechanics that has particularly drawn our attention is XtraSplit, where magical jade stones have the power to split the reels. The reels can be split multiple times, increasing the number of winning ways up to a staggering 1,679,616.
Once the reels start spinning, the goal is to get 3 or more stones, triggering a respin. At the same time, this carves the grid, adding an additional row of symbols. The fun doesn’t end here, as collecting another 3 stones will repeat the process. With a bit of luck, up to 6 rows can be added to the grid.
Every jade stone counts during the XtraSplit Respin feature. These stones will fill a metre above the playing area to award the Mega Prize, worth 200x the bet.
Today, we’ll take you on a tiki tour of Jade Blade XtraSplit. At the moment, it’s the only game from Swintt’s Xtra series that features the XtraSplit mechanics.
