Game Overview
What’s more a mouthful than a Big Burger fully loaded with all the trimmings, sauce and cheese? The name of the latest Pragmatic Play slot release comes close as its full name is Big Burger Load it Up With Extra Cheese – a sequence of words that gets the mouth struggling and watering in equal measure. For this review, we’ll strip it back to Big Burger, a smaller bite that is easier to swallow. As for the slot, Big Burger is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 10-fixed payline slot that carries a high variance, has a 96.04% RTP, and a modest, at best, max win of 3,000x the stake.
Big Burger takes place in an American-style diner that obviously serves burgers, hotdogs, and other kinds of fast food. However, the Burger takes centre stage as it forms the reels you’re playing on – and I must admit the standard Burger already looks huge as it contains three patties. The thing is that Burger can grow to an obscene size during a free spins bonus that can add another two rows and an additional reel. Furthermore, the bonus game now uses a ways-to-win mechanic rather than paylines – while there’s also a Pop symbol that gives you instant wins and randomly triggered features that add multipliers of up to 5x to random symbols or convert one set of symbols into another. As for the base game, this is ramped up thanks to instant prizes of up to 1,000x the stake that can hit if you land enough Hotdog symbols.
Will a bite of Pragmatic Play’s latest slot release leave you wanting more, or will you instantly spit it out, vowing never to return? A few quick spins on the Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese demo slot below should give you your answer. It’s free, at least, so you will not burn through your real money balance finding out.
Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I wouldn’t say we’re force-fed slots themed on food, but there’s certainly enough of them around – which I’m not sure I understand why as I want to play a slot to perhaps get lucky, not get hungry! If you’re looking for other culinary-themed slots specifically focused on diners, burgers, and all those other super-unhealthy quick fixes usually cooked (reheated) by acne-challenged kids straight out of school, then Gluttony a Nolimit City slot is about as good as you’ll get. Play’n Go’s Fat Frankies is another solid recommendation, as it offers four different special features to get stuck into.
Both titles serve up plenty of fast-food-inspired symbols – something you’ll also see when you visit the Big Burger paytable. The symbols are all the extras or sides you can add to your burger. Egg and Bacon is the most requested menu item here, and this symbol returns 500x the stake for a six-symbol combination. Fried Onion Rings deliver up to 100x, while the Lettuce and Tomato (what are these doing here?) pay a healthy 50x for a full row of six. Finally, the Fries and Soda complete the premium section, and both share a top payout of 20x the stake. The low pays are broken up by the 10x offered for the Ace, King, and Queen symbols and the 5x you’ll net when the Jack, Ten, and Nine line up in a winning combo of five.
Finding a bet size to play at relative to your bankroll shouldn’t be an issue on Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese with stakes starting at a minimum of €0.10 a spin and maxing out at a mouth watering €250 a press.
Base Game & Modifiers
Pragmatic Play has gone for a more traditional reel set-up than usual for Big Burger, giving us 5 reels, 3 rows and 10-fixed paylines to go hunting for some tasty payouts. Aside from the three highest-paying regular symbols, which require two or more, you’ll need three or more matching symbols across a payline to generate a payout.
Hot Dog Symbols
Aside from hitting winning combinations during the base game, you can win instant prizes worth up to 1,000x your bet via Hot Dog symbols. You’ll win 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, or 1,000x your stake whenever you land 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 of them anywhere in view.
Ante Bet
To the left of the reels is an Ante Bet feature you can activate to enjoy more scatters on the reels during your spins for an increased cost of 50% on top of your spin bet.
Big Burger Load It Up With Xtra Cheese Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus feature on the Big Burger slot is a free spins round that ditches the paylines and instead gives you payouts when matching symbols are landed on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. It is also possible to expand the reels – resulting in more ways to win. Triggering the free spins bonus requires a scatter symbol to land on the first, third, and fifth reels.
Free Spins
Landing the required scatter symbols gives you 10 free spins on the new ways to win reels featuring a couple of new symbols.
- Expand Symbol: The first two times the Expand symbol lands during the free spins bonus, it will increase the grid by an additional row, and the third time spawns an additional reel – meaning it is possible to enjoy spins on 6 reels and 5 rows. These expansions remain persistent during the bonus, so they will not reset between each spin, while each expansion also gives you an additional free spin. If an Expand symbol hits once the reels have expanded to their maximum, they now convert into wild symbols, and you no longer receive an additional free spin.
- Pop Symbol: When this symbol lands, one type of regular symbol is randomly chosen to ‘Pop’, and all instances of that symbol explode, giving you 0.5x your stake for each.
During the free spins bonus, a Ketchup Bottle can randomly trigger to add a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x to all instances of a regular symbol that is involved in a winning combination. Another randomly triggered feature is the Mustard bottle, which guarantees a win by transforming all instances of one type of regular symbol into another. Finally, if you land three scatter symbols during the bonus, you’re given an additional 10 free spins.
Bonus Buy
If you’re literally starving for action, the great news is that Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese is a feature buy slot, and you have the option of paying 100x your stake via the bonus buy to trigger the above free spins bonus.
Pros
- A fun theme - don’t play if hungry!
Cons
- In an industry where max wins are increasing, we’re still getting new releases lowballing us.
Big Burger Load It Up With Xtra Cheese Slot Review Final Thoughts
Big Burger Load it up with Xtra Cheese has a fun, well-presented theme; there are some decent symbol payouts, and the free spins bonus has some cool modifiers, so I’m sure these are the ingredients needed to satisfy the hunger of many. However, the low max win of 3,000x on a high variance slot will not cut it for others, and after recent releases of Sugar Rush 1000 packing a punch of a 25,000x max win, Big Burger has some stiff competition in the fast food and snacked themed niche.
