Yum Yum Powerways slot summary
Yum Yum Powerways slot from Pragmatic Play has one of those retro American junk food diner themes that have become fashionable lately. Big Time Gaming's Donuts slot is possibly the most renowned or maybe iSoftBet's good Royale With Cheese Megaways slot close behind. An older edition was Gamesys' Reel Deal Diner slot but that seems to have died off along with the jukebox. Here the background is a burger van parked on an island beach and happy holiday music assails our ears along with zappy sounds while playing. So can it provide a good feed for our bankroll our will the food here prove to be far less tasty?
On the reels...
We have an odd looking set-up on Yum Yum Powerways slot. There is a centre section of 4 reels of 4 symbols each with a scroll of 4 symbols at each side forming the reels 1 and 6 and also above the middle 4 reels. This means 4 symbols are possible on the outer 2 reels and 6 on the middle 4, giving us a maximum 16,384-ways to win or in other words 4x 4096-way games up and down and left and right. Weird! The symbols don't pay much with Burger the best 6-of-a-kind at 1.5x bet with 10 other food items at 0.9 down to 0.2x for 6OAK. There are Chef scatters on all reels and Meal Wilds too which appear singly unlike the rest. Winning tiles are replaced via tumbles and you get a base game increasing multiplier of 1x per winning action. No modifiers, so on to the free games.
Free Spins
You get 6 for 3 Chef scatters and up in increments of 2 spins to a maximum 12 for 6. You can gamble spins on a wheel too unless you win 12 and have about a 50% chance for adding or losing 2 spins per gamble. 12 will collect, get down to none and you lose the bonus. Your modifier is now the multiplier begins at 3x and rises that amount per winning tumble too. You will also get a Wild added somewhere on the middle block of 16 tiles which remains throughout. You are capped alas at 5,000x bet for the round, same as most Pragmatic slots nowadays.
Our View...
Yum Yum Powerways slot has a decent 96.43% RTP and has tried something different in the mechanic and appearance. Sadly, despite the vibrant feel and colours and sounds to the game, it's impossible to follow. You are effectively playing two 4096-way games from right-and-left and vice versa AND two 4096-way games of 6 rows & 4 reels up-and-down. It's simply too confusing to watch for long and it simply doesn't work as the cheap imitation of Megaways it's intended to be. Frankly the game's a jumble, a bloody mess. No matter how nice the food is in Yum Yum town, playing this would have you throwing it up again very quickly...
