Free slot: Yum Yum Powerways

How Yum Yum Powerways works

The end of summer is fast approaching and yet Pragmatic Play has decided to make a slot that revolves around this season of the year. Combine the heat of summer with fatty or sugary foods and you have the main theme of Yum Yum Powerways, the latest slot creation from this slot provider. Released on the 2nd of September 2021, this slot features beautiful graphics and an exciting musical atmosphere. You will find yourself on the edge of a beach where a pink truck will offer you a lot of food. It's a special starting grid that awaits you on Yum Yum Powerways as it is divided into several parts. First of all, you have the central part of the grid, which is composed of 4x4, i.e. 4 vertical columns for 4 horizontal columns. Then there is a column on each side of the grid: one on the left, one on the right, one below the starting grid and one above. Each new column has four symbols. This gives a total grid divided as follows: 4/6/6/6/6/4. There are bonus games and a feature in the basic game that we will focus on.

As we have just written, Yum Yum Powerways is a slot with a bonus feature. This is triggered on any round of the game, as soon as a connection is made. In this slot, each time a connection takes place, the symbols that are part of a connection disappear to make room for new symbols. At the bottom left of your starting grid is a table with the number "x1". This number is the final multiplier for your connection.

Each time a connection is made, +1 is added to your final multiplier. This multiplier has no limit and stops increasing as soon as no more connections are made in one round. At the end of your turn, the win multiplier returns to x1.

The different symbols of Yum Yum Powerways

Yum Yum Powerways is a slot machine that consists of several different symbols. First of all you have a scatter symbol, represented by a chef. This symbol allows you to get the free spins.

Next comes a wild symbol, represented by a symbol featuring chips, a sandwich, a can and ketchup. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the slot except the scatter symbol.

Then there are several different symbols. First of all you have premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than the other symbols, but pay more when they are part of a connection. They are represented by :

• A hamburger;

• A slice of pizza;

• Chinese noodles;

• Two chicken legs ;

• A taco.

Then there are non premium symbols. As you might expect, these are called so because they appear more often than the other symbols, but pay less consistently. They are represented by :

• Fries;

• Cake slices;

• Two donuts;

• Guacamole.

The following screen shows the value of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Yum Yum Powerways

A special starting grid means a special connection. In the Yum Yum Powerways slot, you will need at least 4 symbols on your starting grid for a connection to occur. However, on this slot, the connections work in a way that is quite rare in the online casino world. So you can connect :

• From left to right. You will need to have at least one of the same symbols on your first four connection lines (grid number 1 on the left of the following screen);

• Right to left. Works in the same way as the left to right connections (grid number 2 on the following screen);

• From the bottom up. Thus, you need at least one symbol to appear on your first four connection lines from the bottom for a connection to be made. The starting grid number 3 on the following screen represents perfectly how these connections work.

• Top to bottom. Works exactly the same way as bottom-up. Starting grid number 4 represents a valid type of connection perfectly.

How the Yum Yum Powerways bonus works

As stated in the introduction to this slot, Yum Yum Powerways is a slot that comes with a bonus feature. To unlock it, you will need to get at least three times the scatter symbol on a single spin. During your bonus rounds, whenever a scatter symbol appears, you are entitled to two additional free spins.

When you get the free spins, you have two choices. You can either cash in the number of free spins you got, or you can try to bet your free spins. To do this, you have to press the wheel that says "double or nothing". If you lose, you go down one slot. For example, if you are at 6 free spins and you lose, you go down to 4. If your blue arrow stops on the green, then you move to the top slot. This way you can get up to 12 free spins.

When you start your free spins, your winnings multiplier starts directly at x3.

Each time a connection is made, your multiplier is increased by 3. Unlike the basic game where the multiplier reverts to its starting number as soon as no connection is made, it remains at the same value during your free spins if no connection takes place. This is the only feature you'll find during these free games on Yum Yum Powerways.

Our opinion on Yum Yum Powerways

Once again, how can we not say something positive about a Pragmatic Play creation? First of all, we must underline the beautiful work done on the graphics and animations. Now let's come to the game itself. Yum Yum Powerways is a slot machine that is quite difficult to get to grips with at first, given the particular starting grid and connections. Once the first impressions are over, it is easy to notice the huge potential of this slot. Yum Yum Powerways is a slot machine where you can win up to 5,000 times your original bet. As far as the RTP (theoretical return to players) is concerned, it is 96.4%, which puts this slot in the middle of the market. As you might expect with Pragmatic Play slots, the buy-in bonus feature is available on this slot and it will cost you 100 times your original bet.
