Durian Dynamite slot review (Quickspin)

A Durian fruit is not for everyone. While some find the smell absolutely repulsive, others will define it as heavenly

But one thing that all parties can agree to is that the fruit looks gorgeous. So, an ideal subject for the talented Quickspin graphic designers and they delivered spectacularly.

Visually this slot truly is a treat, with 3D graphics, beautiful animations and fruit that seemingly jumps of the screen.

And the gameplay is also nothing to sneeze at fast-paced, varied and unpredictable. One minute you will be cursing because there is absolutely (and literally) not a grape to be had after 30 spins, next you are basking in the feeling of 2 back to back super big wins.

It is not only possible to win big during the free spin feature: many of our best payouts have happened with the mini-feature.

How does the Durian Dynamite slot work?

There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. At the top of the screen are a kind of horns that blow the symbols onto the reels. The middle horn has a unique function, which we will discuss later on.

You always play with 20 fixed paylines and betting starts at $€ 0.20 up to a maximum of $€ 100, per spin.

The variance is between medium and high: the maximum payout is a hefty 2,515 x the total bet. The theoretical payout rate of Durian Dynamite is pegged at a very respectable 96.22%.

 Symbols and payouts

The wild symbol (The Durian) replaces all other symbols, except the scatters and is also the highest value symbol. Spin 5 of these on an active payline and you will receive 50 x your total bet.

There are five premium symbols in total, all fruits. A 5-of-a-kind of melon, orange, peach, grape or cherry will net you anywhere between 7.5 x and 25 x the total bet.

Of course, the card symbols could not be left out: 5 identical ones of a 10, J, Q, K or A is worth a price that varies between 3.75 x and 5 x the total bet.

Dynamite Launch Feature

The Dynamite Launch Feature is extremely important, even though it is a mini-feature.

It is activated at random times, and that will be when the middle horn will come into play. It vacuums the symbols of the reels and replaces those with new ones. If a Durian Symbol appears on the screen, you will receive extra wilds on the reels.

In the primary game the number of extra wilds will always be 2, but during the free spins that can increase to 3 or even 4.

But this is where the really good part starts. If a wild symbol drops onto another wild symbol, they multiply, and three extra wilds will be placed on the reels. These can also multiply again. If one of those wilds drops onto an existing wild, an additional two wilds will be added.

As you can imagine, this can cause a chain reaction of new wild symbols, leading to some impressive wins.

Free spins bonus

Three scattered bonus jars hand you the free spins bonus.

You always start with 8 free spins, but you do receive three boosters, one for each jar.

There are three different boosters you can win:

• Up to 28 extra free spins
• Up to 2 extra Durians for the Dynamite launch Feature
• Up to 2 additional red horns (Dynamite Reels)

Sometimes you are awarded some extra picks which can help matters along. The free spins cannot be retriggered.

Our verdict on the Durian Dynamite video slot

Durian Dynamite is, once again, a superb Quickspin slot.

It looks fabulous, has an insanely high tempo and you can get yourself bonus features that will have you on edge.

Besides that, there are juicy payouts to be had with this slot: a maximum win of over 2,500 x the total bet is a thing to behold.

3.8 out of 5 stars.
