Extra Crown Slot Review

Extra Crown – Slot Overview

Extra Crown is a 5x3 fruit slot from Amusnet Interactive, released in June 2023. The layout is as classic as they come, yet the payline system gives it a small twist. You get 10 fixed lines that pay both left to right and right to left, which keeps even simple spins engaging. For me it feels like a modern rework of their older fruit machines, just without free spins clutter.

Behind the retro skin, Extra Crown runs on a medium volatility model with a very respectable RTP of 96.31 percent. Stakes start at 10 pence and go up to twenty pounds per spin, so it suits both testing the waters and more serious sessions. The advertised maximum win sits around five thousand times stake, though in practice most sessions feel about steady, with regular small hits and the odd bigger screen of sevens.

Extra Crown Symbols and Paytable

On the reels in Extra Crown you get the usual fruit line up. Cherries, lemons, oranges and plums form the low tier, followed by bells, grapes and watermelons as mid symbols. With five of a kind, these can return between fifteen and seventy times your line stake, depending on the fruit. Most of them need at least three matches to pay, and they appear stacked often enough to throw in nice mixed lines.

Sevens sit at the top of the paytable and pay from just two in a line, climbing up to five hundred times your line stake for five. Two scatter symbols share the remaining premium space. The golden Dollar and the red Star both pay from any position, even off the lines, with three or more in view. Their awards top out around one hundred times stake for full scatter hits.

Extra Crown Slot Features

Extra Crown keeps the feature set simple, and the main attraction is the Crown Wild. It lands only on reels two, three and four, but whenever it hits it can expand to cover the whole reel. When that happens across multiple reels in one spin, the screen turns into a wall of crowns and fruit, and any line that runs through the crowned reels counts as a win, often in both directions at once.

Those both ways paylines change the rhythm of the game. Even three low fruits on the far right can pay if they line up back towards the left. Combined with the expanding crowns, that gives you stretches with many small and medium wins rather than long dry spells. On my sessions the medium volatility tag felt accurate, with the balance swinging but not in a wild, high risk fashion.

You do not get free spins or respins here, so bonus chasers may feel short changed. Instead, after every win you can use the classic card Gamble, guessing red or black to try and double the payout. On top of that sits the random Jackpot Cards feature, which can trigger after any spin and pull you into a separate chance at the progressive prizes.

Extra Crown Jackpot Cards Feature

Jackpot Cards in Extra Crown runs as a four level progressive, linked to the four card suits. When the feature fires you face twelve face down cards and pick them one by one until you uncover three of the same suit. Clubs award the smallest pot, then diamonds and hearts, with spades at the top. Any stake size can trigger the feature, so even small bets have a shot at the big level.

Extra Crown Rules and Payouts

Extra Crown follows the standard Amusnet pay rules with a couple of twists. Line wins pay on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost and also from the rightmost. Only the highest win per line is counted in each direction, so you do not get paid twice on the same line for overlapping combos. Scatter wins from the Star and Dollar are added on top of line wins and pay against the total stake.

This is a certified random game, so no betting pattern will change the outcome, and any malfunction voids the round results. Wins from regular symbols are calculated as the paytable multiplier times your line bet, while scatter wins use the total bet. With the medium volatility and 96.31 percent RTP, Extra Crown feels suited to longer grinding sessions rather than quick jackpot hunts, unless you purely chase the side pots.

Extra Crown Review Summary

For me Extra Crown sits in that middle ground of Amusnet fruit slots. Visually it is nothing new and the lack of a proper free spins bonus means feature hunters may skip it. On the other hand, the both ways lines, expanding crowns and four level Jackpot Cards keep the base game busy enough. If you like straightforward fruit play with a shot at progressive prizes, this one does its job well.
