Having already stunned the slot-playing world with trail-blazing titles like Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM and Monster Disco XtraHoldTM, sought-after software provider, Swintt, is proud to unveil the latest innovative instalment of its exciting Xtra series in the all-new Jade Blade XtraSplitTM.
Set high in the mountains of ancient China where a fearless female warrior channels the power of mystic dragons, fearsome lions and lucky rabbits, Jade Blade XtraSplitTM features a unique mechanic where magical jade stones split the reels multiple times to create an incredible 1,679,616 ways to win.
Firstly, there’s the XtraSplitTM Respins feature, where collecting three or more of these priceless gems will trigger a complimentary respin. Initially, this bonus will carve the reels to create an additional row of symbols, but should players repeat the trick and collect another three stones, the process will repeat again and again until a maximum of six rows have been added to seriously boost their payout potential.
Not only that, but every jade stone collected during the XtraSplitTM Respins feature will be added to a special prize metre above the reels. As players progress, they’ll unlock bigger and better wins, starting with the 9x Minor prize and increasing through Major and Super all the way up to the 200x Mega prize.
Beyond that, Jade Blade XtraSplitTM also boasts a Free Spins feature that can be triggered by landing three or more of the slot’s titular jade blade scatters anywhere on the reels. Whenever this happens, players will automatically receive 10 free spins with the added incentive that any jade stones collected will now split the reels vertically and horizontally to create up to eight reels and 1,679,616 ways to win.
Any splits achieved during the free spins will persist until the end of the feature – giving players plenty of time to capitalise on their newly-created paylines – and if they don’t want to wait around for the bonus to arrive via the base game, they can also enter it directly via an optional “Buy Feature” button.
All of these rewarding incentives combine to make the new Jade Blade XtraSplitTM a medium-volatility slot with an RTP of 96.03 percent, where the more successive symbol splits players manage to achieve, the higher the game’s overall hit rate becomes and the greater the potential payouts on offer will be.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Swintt has long been known in the iGaming industry for its innovative Xtra series of games – and in the new Jade Blade XtraSplitTM, we’ve raised the bar again by creating another unique new feature that can seriously boost players’ prize potential.
“Known as XtraSplitTM, this rewarding mechanic has the potential to slice through the gameboard on any spin to create additional rows and columns and increase the slot’s total number of ways to win up to a staggering 1,679,616. Couple this with four instant-win local jackpots and the addition of a “Buy Feature” option and I’m sure Jade Blade XtraSplitTM will go on to become a big favourite with players.”
