Game Overview
When I clapped my eyes on Pragmatic Play’s Strawberry Cocktail slot for the first time, my first thoughts were, “I need a holiday”. I haven’t had one for a couple of years now, so seeing the gorgeous beach backdrop and the many delicious-looking cocktails on the reels certainly reminded me I’m in need of a break. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I might just pack up my bags and get going as soon as possible – though I’d better get this review out of the way first. As always, I’ll give you the core info first, and that is that Strawberry Cocktail is a 5-reel, 3-row, and 9-payline slot with a max win of 16,000x the stake, and an RTP of 96% that is bang on the industry average.
The picturesque backdrop is hard to ignore, but at least by me, a slot is never judged on how it looks, as the gameplay and mechanics matter more. There are not too many features to look out for, but the bonus game it does have is worth waiting for as it offers something unique and is also where the max win of 16,000x the stake is possible to achieve. I guess you could say the bonus round is reminiscent of a board game in many ways and features two multipliers that can apply to the payouts picked up along the way.
That bonus game is the main selling point of Strawberry Cocktail, but you do not have to burn through your bankroll to enjoy it, as you can just play the free-to-play Strawberry Cocktail slot demo instead. You’ll find it directly below!
Strawberry Cocktail Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Pragmatic Play is far from the first developer to use a tropical beach and a beaming sun as its theme, though I’m not sure any look quite as relaxing as the one used on Strawberry Cocktail. Elk Studios has released Tropicool 2, a slot I play from time to time mainly because it features 4,656 payways, a ‘cool’ reel that can hold wilds, mystery symbols, locked wilds, and a 25,000x max win. Just For The Win’s Diamond Sands also springs to mind, and if I remember correctly, that is a 243 ways-to-win slot that stands out due to four fixed jackpots. Both are good options if you dream of sitting on a beach with your laptop spinning the reels of enjoyable slot games.
One area where Strawberry Cocktail certainly outdoes the titles above is the payouts possible from the reels. I have to say they are pretty sizable, and sizable equals good in my book as the base game becomes more than just a pathway to the bonus game, as you can boost your bankroll with some decent payouts. The biggest of these is a 1,000x the stake win achievable when five Strawberry Cocktail symbols or five Wilds line up across a payline. Admittedly, there’s a hefty drop to 100x for the next best, the Yellow Cocktail, but that is still good compared to what you’ll find on many other slots. The Green Cocktail is the last of the high-pays and will award 30x for a line of five. Playing card suits are the remaining symbols, and up to 15x, 10x, 7.5x, and 5x the stake up for grabs from the Spade, Heart, Club, and Diamond, respectively.
You can’t fault Pragmatic Play for the stake selections available on their slots, and the same can be said for today’s review, as you’ll never have to worry about finding the perfect bet size to play Strawberry Cocktail, with wagers on offer between €0.10 and €240.00 per spin.
Strawberry Cocktail Slot Base Game
Now that we’ve gone through what is on offer on the reels in terms of symbols and payouts, you’ll next need to know how to bring them in, and that’s fairly straightforward as Strawberry Cocktail is a traditional 5-reel slot with 9-paylines. All that’s required is three or more matching symbols to land across an active payline starting from the first reel and moving right on successive reels.
Strawberry Cocktail Slot Bonus Features
You’re taken to a new screen, which now features a 3-reel and 1-row slot surrounded by a board game-style path featuring all the base game regular symbols in various positions. The number of triggering scatters comes into play here as if three; there are four ‘Exit’ positions – which, when landed upon, ends the bonus. If four or five scatters triggered the feature, there are three or one, respectively.
During a spin, a highlighted position moves around the board at the same time as the reels spin, and should the reels stop showing one or more symbols the highlighted box finished on, you receive a payout for each, as shown below the reel. There’s the Diamond (2x), Club (3x), Heart (5x), Spade (10x), Green Cocktail (20x), Yellow Cocktail (30x), and Pink Cocktail (50x). If the winning symbol features on the reel two or three times, you’ll also receive a spin multiplier of 3x or 10x, while a global multiplier will also apply to wins. The latter starts at 1x and doubles after every four spins of the reels. The bonus will end the moment the highlighted box lands on an Exit position.
Bonus Buy
If you are able to play feature buy slots in your jurisdiction, this allows you to purchase the 3, 4, or 5 scatters symbols needed to trigger the bonus game on Strawberry Cocktail for 60x, 200x, or 600x the bet, respectively.
Pros
- Solid base game payouts are possible.
- A unique bonus game offering a max win of 16,000x.
Cons
- Don’y play if you’re craving a holiday.
Strawberry Cocktail Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’m regularly critical of some of the slots produced by Pragmatic Play, but I had a good time playing this one. I like the fact that two significant paying 1,000x symbol wins are available, as this makes the base game worth playing, and the bonus game is different from the free spins you get on countless other slot games. This is the side of Pragmatic Play I want to see more often. Anyhow, I’ll catch you later, folks, as I have some plane tickets to book!
