Swintt is bringing a hearty serving of holiday cheer to online slot fans with Extra Win X Thanksgiving, a retro-inspired addition to the developer’s Premium lineup. The game blends the instantly recognizable 3×3 layout and 5-payline setup of earlier Extra Win titles with the warmth of an autumn harvest celebration. Plump pumpkins, shiny fruits, and golden turkeys dominate the reels, while a cozy feast-themed backdrop reinforces the Thanksgiving spirit.
As noted in the game’s background, “Thanksgiving is a time where millions of families across the U.S. gather to enjoy a smorgasbord of tasty treats – and to mark the occasion, we’re serving up all manner of mouthwatering rewards in a new, holiday-themed edition of our popular Extra Win X series,” according to a statement by Swintt CEO David Mann.
This edition continues the brand’s well-known mechanic: fill the entire 3×3 grid with a single symbol, and the Extra Win Feature Wheel springs into action—unlocking multipliers, cash prizes, and the chance to extend the bonus round indefinitely until an End segment ends the feature.
Gameplay Structure, Symbols, and Payout Potential
Extra Win X Thanksgiving delivers traditional slot play with a simple objective. Wins form by landing three matching symbols across one of the game’s fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The absence of Wilds and Scatters ensures a straightforward experience, making the bonus wheel the centerpiece of the action.
Across the reels, players encounter both low- and high-paying symbols:
- Lower-paying icons: pumpkin coin, cherry, citrus, orange, and plum (1x–8x for three).
- Higher-paying icons: basket of pumpkins, turkey, and 7 (20x–200x for three).
Players can choose bet levels starting from 0.05 up to 100, while the operator-selectable RTP defaults to 95.44%, with alternative configurations of 92.18%, 90%, or 85.41%. The volatility is medium, offering a balance of moderate payouts and steady hit rates, though one source cites a surprisingly low frequency of 4.8%. The game is optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop use.
How the Extra Win Feature Wheel Works
The game’s signature mechanic comes into play when all reel positions display the same symbol. Once triggered, the player is taken to a wheel containing:
- 2 End Segments
- 4 Win Segments
- 1 2x Win Segment
- 1 X-Symbol Segment
When a Win or 2x Win segment is hit, another spin is granted, and rewards accumulate. The End segment stops the bonus and returns all collected winnings.
Landing on the X symbol upgrades the action by opening a second wheel featuring three 3x Win segments and one 5x Win segment, continuing until an End segment sends the player back to the original wheel.
The game description emphasizes that “The feature wheel does not represent a real device, and the segment size does not represent the probability of winning the segment,” clarifying that visual proportions do not influence outcomes.
After the final spin’s rewards are tallied, players may opt into a Card Risk game. Here, they wager their winnings by predicting red or black for a 50% chance to double the prize. Bets range from 1 to 50,000 coins, and can be repeated up to 10 rounds, with a maximum payout cap of 100,000 coins. The RTP of this feature alone is listed as 100%, and previous cards do not affect the outcome.
