Play Extreme Games for Free

Most Spielo games look alike when you get right down to it – at least where the controls are concerned. Extreme Games is no different. The familiar control panel is situated below the reels, and contains all the usual tabs, including Spin and Bet Max. There are + and - arrows to help you configure the number of pay-lines and also the credits-per-line. A mute button on the left-hand side allows you to silence the audio, while clicking into the menu grants you a look at the pay-table. The coin denomination you wish to play with, meanwhile, is configurable from the upper left-hand corner.

If extreme sports are your bag, and you’re the kind of person that always likes to push the envelope, you’ll definitely appreciate what’s on offer here.

Extreme Games is powered by GTECH, under the Spielo umbrella, and it’s perhaps one of the most popular titles in the company’s arsenal. The daredevil sports theme attracts many a player, but there are just as many who are lured in by the promise of big wins.

The symbols in the game are all two-dimensional, but they are very well drawn nonetheless. They include a man scaling a cliff-face, a first-aid kit, a canoeist, a skateboarder, a skydiver, a chequered flag, a crash helmet and sunglasses, a surfer and a pair of street luge competitors. Happily, there are no playing card icons to be found on the reels.

As is the case with many Spielo games, free spins are up for grabs. The free games are available once you land three or more chequered flag scatters anywhere on the reels. Three scatters yields five free spins, four scatters means ten free spins and five scatters furnishes you with a whopping 25 free spins. The bonus can also be re-triggered during a round of free ones. Talk about adrenaline rush!

Along with the scatter, another symbol you want to watch out for is the wild, represented by the skater. This will stand in for any symbols in the game to help you configure winning combinations. The wild can replace all others except for the scatter. The wild is also key to winning the biggest pay-outs. It grants 10,000x for five in a line, 1,000x for four and 100x for three. The skydive icon is next best (1,000/200/50), followed by the kayak (500/100/30) and the wakeboard (400/80/20).

A bespoke bonus game is also included in Extreme Games. To activate it, all you need to do is accumulate 1,000 points. Every time you see a bonus symbol on the reels, you’ll win some points. When you eventually hit the all-important target, you’ll get to play the MotoX High Jumps mini-game. During the mini-game, you need to select a rider, whose challenge it is to jump as high as possible. You only have five attempts, and the higher you manage to jump, the larger your pay-out will be.

Extreme Games is a welcome addition to the world of online slots. It’s the first video slot I’ve come across to play on the extreme sports theme instead of mainstream subjects like Football Fever, and the lack of playing card icons makes me love it all the more. The inclusion of an interactive high jump bonus is a big plus, while the prospect of winning as many as 25 free spins is enticing. Give it a go and see how you fare.
