Gameplay

If any pouches containing 1, 2 or 3 nitro bottles land on the grid, they are added to the bottles above the respective reels. Once 3 bottles have been collected, the persistent wild comes into play and the reel will be a fully stacked wild reel for the next 3 spins. If you are lucky enough to fill all the bottles and have 5 fully wild reels, you will pocket x200 your wager.The free spins are triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 treasure chest scatters which award you with 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. Landing, 2, 3, 4 or 5 more scatters gives you another 5, 10, 15 or 20 extra free spins.All nitro bottles are added to the Grand nitro meter. This takes 15 bottles to fill it up and awards you with the grand jackpot worth x500 your wager.If the grand nitro meter collects at least 3 bottles, the bomb explode feature can be randomly activated. The amount of bottles in the meter will be the amount of wilds placed on the reels at random.

Verdict

This is such a fun slot to play! The maximum prize may not be huge, but the entertainment value is good. The addition of the persistent wilds and the exploding bombs gives you some decent payouts too.
