MeJUICEa Slot Review
Enjoy a cold one in the blistering heat with the legendary Medusa in Thunderkick’s latest release, MeJUICEa, but be sure not to give her any unwanted glances or she’ll zap you into a stony prison.
Thunderkick combines our love of tasty food with the many myths of the legendary Gods of Greek Mythology.
Moving on from Midas and his series of Golden Touches, Thunderkick focuses on Medusa, one of three Gorgons who was supposedly so hideous in appearance that anyone who looked upon her would turn to stone.
With advances in technology (and many plastic surgeries available), modern-day Medusa looks quite the picture of beauty, even with a head full of snakes.
MeJUICEa is bursting with flavour and packed with delicious features for players craving something fresh and innovative.
This 6-reel, Cluster Pays addition includes a juicy 5,000x max win cap, nurtured by a 94.18% RTP and high (5/5) rating – MeJUICEa is a fruit frenzy you won’t want to miss.
Base Game & Features
With 5 reels and 6 rows available, MeJUICEa is the latest Thunderkick release to feature the popular Cluster Pays mechanic.
Wins are established when 3-20 identical fruit symbols land horizontally or vertically adjacent on the grid. The 6 paytable symbols appear as watermelons, cherries, oranges, apples, grapes, and plums, offering a fixed payout between 0.1x and 50x your bet. Lastly, Wild symbols substitute for all paytable symbols, except Scatters.
Crush Feature
After a winning evaluation or a Scatter symbol hits, the Crush Feature will activate. This feature causes all winning symbols and Scatters to become heavy on the grid. Heavy symbols will crush all symbols below on the same reel, excluding other heavy symbols.
After this interaction, all heavy and crushed symbols are removed from the grid, triggering a special Redrop. Payouts are awarded before each crush feature occurs and will continue until no further wins or scatter symbols are present on the grid.
Charge Meter
To the right of the main grid is a special Charge Meter that fills with crushed symbols, which requires 30 steps for a full charge. Each crushed symbol awards +1 step, whereas a crushed Wild symbol awards 30 steps.
Each full charge of the meter awards +1 to the total collected wilds at the top of the charge meter. If the meter already holds a certain number of steps, any excess steps will be discarded, and no additional steps will be added to the charge meter.
The total number of charges that can be held is 5, which activate when at least 1 full charge is complete. Once a full charge is reached, 1 Wild symbol is added to the grid. For example, 2 full charges award 2 Wilds, and so on.
After completion, the collected wilds meter resets, while the Charge Meter remains at its current progression. However, the charge meter is reset to 0 at the start of each spin.
Global Multiplier
All winning clusters are instantly multiplied by an active Global Multiplier, starting at x1. The current multiplier can be boosted between x1 and x50 when a new Multiplier symbol is crushed. At the end of a game round, the current Global Multiplier is reset to x1.
Bet+ & Bonus Buy
Players outside the UK jurisdiction can participate in the Free Spins mode via the Bonus Buy option. This option guarantees to trigger free spins within the next spin for a fixed price of 75x your bet.
Alternatively, players in the UK and other countries will have access to 3 Bet+ options as follows:
- Bonus Boost: Each spin is 2 times more likely to trigger free spins for 1.5x your bet (RTP 94.20%)
- Bonus Boost Plus: Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger free spins for 2.5x your bet (RTP 94.30%)
- Juice Boost: Each spin is 3 times more likely to trigger free spins, with multiplier symbols starting from x3 for 3.5x your bet (RTP 94.40%)
MeJUICEa offers a fixed max win cap of 5,000x your bet. If a game round exceeds this amount, the 5,000x is instantly awarded, and players return to the base game.
MeJUICEa Slot Free Spins
When 3 Scatters are collected in a single game round, +10 Free Spins are awarded. Before the round begins, the Global Multiplier and Charge Meter are reset.
During Free Spins, both the global multiplier and charge meter remain persistent and only reset once the feature is complete. Lastly, each Scatter symbol that hits awards an additional +1 Free Spin.
Our Honest Verdict
After hearing stories of the terrifying Medusa and her menacing sisters, Euryale and Stheno, we found Thunderkick’s interpretation of her to be quite pleasant in MeJUICEa. However, let it be known, she will most definitely zap you into stone if you look at her the wrong way, but her vivacious nature generally shines through here.
MeJUICEa has an interesting context, combining fruit symbols and an exotic backdrop into the myths of Greek Mythology, in particular, Medusa. Oddly enough, the mash-up of themes works particularly well in this instance, with many engaging features blended together to create an interesting concoction of entertainment.
The Crush Feature acts as an avalanche function, wiping out winning clusters and replacing them with new ones. Unlike a regular avalanche function, all heavy symbols remove other symbols directly below them as they leave the grid.
This is particularly great when a Wild or Multiplier symbol happens to be in the firing line. Multipliers are added to the Global Multiplier, and Wilds significantly boost the Charge Meter.
The Charge Meter, on the other hand, needs a little patience and understanding to get it exactly where it needs to be. However, the Free Spins mode is pretty self-explanatory and only requires 3 Scatters to see it in action.
The positive outcomes of the free spins mode are the persistent Charge Meter and Global Multiplier, which grant players more opportunities to create bigger wins, to the tune of 5,000x your bet.
All in all, MeJUICEa is a pleasant addition to Thunderkick’s growing portfolio, praised for its Cluster Pays mechanic, stunning visuals, and tidy features.
