NetEnt is skilled at turning old ideas into fresh, new games and that’s exactly what they’ve done with their brand new MAX double release concept Berryburst and Berryburst MAX! The tailor-made MAX slots share similar return-to-player percentages and features to the regular slot but the potential maximum payout is a lot bigger.

The concept of a fruit machine is as old as slot games themselves, with the very first mechanical games displaying some fruity symbols. In an industry as competitive as game design, it won’t do to be stuck in the past. Berryburst takes the beloved fruit machine style and turns it on its head with help from the NetEnt team.

Colourful and packed with exciting features, it is far removed from the primitive 3-reel creation you would see in a dusty pub. Juicy fruit symbols occupy the reels along with glittering gems, hearts, and card suits. A dynamic background makes Berryburst screen appear to float – this is most certainly not your grandpa’s fruit machine!

This game uses the Cluster Pays game mechanic first debuted in Aloha! Cluster Pays. Players who enjoyed this type of win in the earlier title, as well as a few subsequent releases such as Emojiplanet and Lost Relics, will appreciate the return of the Cluster Pays.

If betlines are simply not very exciting to you, Cluster Pays could just make the difference. NetEnt slots players will also notice another similarity to a classic – Starburst! Berryburst’s overall design has more than a passing resemblance to this iconic slot and with additional features thrown in, this new NetEnt game may yet match up to the legendary popularity of Starburst.

Berryburst MAX with much bigger prizes

What is the difference between Berryburst MAX and Berryburst? Berryburst MAX looks very similar to Berryburst and the game mechanics are the same. However, Berryburst MAX aims to offer bigger hits for players looking for games with high win potential.

When the maximum win of Berryburst is 100,000 coins or £200,000, Berryburst MAX offers coin wins of up to 200,000 or £400 000. On average, the MAX slots boost volatility at the expense of more frequent wins. This means it’s less likely you win frequently but if you win, you’re are more likely to hit it big.

Berryburst bonus features

Players will notice that Berryburst is not stuffed to the gills with features and that’s by design. Much like in Starburst, NetEnt aims to create an enjoyable, relaxing video slot experience and as such, Berryburst can be perceived as a bare-bones game, such as no deposit free spins.

But it’s easy to see that, as it is the case with all their casino games, NetEnt has put a lot of thought behind this slot and its value lies precisely in its appeal despite the absence of features. Players who are looking for games to unwind to will find that Berryburst certainly fits the bill.

Wild Substitutions

These symbols can appear anywhere on the reels and, much like in any other slot, can substitute for any other symbol, thus increasing the chances of getting a Cluster and a win. Wilds can appear in both the main game and during Re-Spins rounds.

Expanding Wilds

Wilds are not simply a symbol in Berryburst but will expand to cover an entire reel, staying in place while the other reels re-spin.

Re-Spins

If the reels show more than 1 Wild at a time, a Re-spin will automatically be activated, improving the player’s chances to land Cluster combinations and wins.

Berryburst free spins

This slot has done away with traditional free spins rounds, once again setting itself apart from those vintage games that it draws its influence from.

Instead, Berryburst offers automatic Re-spins when multiple Wild symbols appear, keeping the gameplay simple and smooth throughout. It’s one of those games that are fun not just because of the win potential but because of how easy they are to play.

Berryburst jackpot

This NetEnt slot does not offer a progressive jackpot. The largest possible win on Berryburst is 100,000 coins, and on Berryburst MAX 200,000 coins which will certainly appeal to most players!

RTP

At 96.56%/96.23% the Berryburst Return to Player set it within the average range and in keeping with similar titles from NetEnt. It is worth noting that NetEnt has also released Berryburst MAX in tandem with Berryburst and the former offers a different RTP and volatility to the latter. This will appeal to players who prefer a higher level of risk in their casino gameplay.

Berryburst on Mobile

Berryburst is fully playable on mobile casinos, as are most NetEnt titles. Enjoy smooth animation, intuitive gameplay and pop in some headphones to experience that groovy soundtrack in stereo, wherever you play.

What does John have to say?

Berryburst is clearly influenced by previous titles but NetEnt manages to deliver a new and engaging slot. The brand new MAX slot concept with double slot release caters nicely both the casual players and gamers who want to win big.
