Berry Burst Max

Berry Burst Max is the second game in the Berry Burst series from NetEnt, and it keeps the same juicy look: fruit and suit symbols floating on a purple backdrop with no reel frames. Strawberries, oranges, berries and limes are the premium symbols, while hearts, spades and diamonds fill the lower tier.

There are no paylines. Wins come from clusters of five or more matching symbols on the 5x3 grid, and a cluster of 15 strawberries pays the top 10,000 coins. The only feature is the expanding wild, which grows to fill its reel and holds for a re-spin. With a 96.23 % RTP, medium volatility, stakes from €0.10 to €200 and a €600,000 top win, it suits players who like simple, fast mechanics.

A wild can land anywhere and substitutes for every symbol. In the main game it expands to cover its whole reel, cluster wins are paid, and a single re-spin follows with the expanded reel held in place. Any new wild that lands during the re-spin also expands and awards another re-spin, so the sequence can keep running. There is no scatter, no free spins round and no multiplier.

Bets combine a bet level from 1 to 10 with a coin value from 0.01 to 2. The fruit symbols pay from five in a cluster, and the strawberry is the most valuable. Suit symbols pay up to 1,000 coins for 15. Compared with the original Berry Burst, this version doubles the top strawberry award.
