Juice Box - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The 5x3 layout of Juice Box depicts pieces of fruit cut into box shapes, giving the game a character and style all of its own. Not only are there 50 paylines but also there is a free spins round with up to 50 free spins to give you more chances to win.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

When you hear the name ‘Juice Box’, you might think it means cartons of fruit juice; however, Platipus has decided to go for a creative interpretation of the title by making every symbol a piece of fruit - even the usual playing card symbols are carved into fruit - but cutting them into box shapes. This is certainly a quirky design, as it is not often that you see a strawberry or pineapple that is completely square! The distinctive style is particularly noteworthy because the rest of the slot is so natural - all earthy colours with wood and soil and green tendrils of grass growing gently up. There is even a gentle country tune playing in the background, making this a simple and friendly slot.

Juice Box RTP and variance

The most disappointing thing about Juice Box is the very low RTP, which at 90.17 per cent is significantly below the 96 per cent we expect from a modern slot. 

There doesn’t appear to be any official variance information, which isn’t unusual - developers quite like making you play their slots to find out just how rewarding they can be. This is why we always recommend that you try Platipus free slots here at Slots Temple before deciding whether to move on to a paid version at an online casino.

How to play Juice Box

Let’s go fruit picking:

1. Everything you need is under the reels, with bold and clear labels making this an easy to navigate slot. If you start on the left, the first button you will see is full screen.
2. Under this is a question mark, which will take you to the dynamic paytable (reflecting your current bet level). You can also see the paylines and features by flicking through the pages with the small red arrow under the box.
3. Next to full screen is the volume button, which is just mute/unmute. If you want to separate the music and sounds or make the volume louder or softer, you will need to head to the settings page. This is found behind the gear button.
4. In settings, you can also find the game rules and a comprehensive guide to every feature of the game. There is another paytable, but it shows the bet multiplier applied to each symbol rather than the direct value.
5. When you are back on the main screen, you will see your current balance and bet towards the centre of the screen. This is useful for setting a budget. Your bet per line display comes with plus and minus symbols to adjust it according to the funds you have and your taste for risk.
6. We have now reached the right-hand side of the screen. The top button is autoplay, which you can use to set a number of spins between 5 and 100. This may be easier to run but you can’t set any limits, which means you may not stay in control.
7. If you choose the regular spin option, using the start button, it may be annoying to have to keep clicking; however, you will be able to stay on top of how much you spend and how much you lose. This means having loss and single win limits in mind before you start playing.
8. Slots are more fun when you are in control and play responsibly, and you want to enjoy this exciting game. Session limits and timeouts may also help to keep you on track.

Bet & win sizes

The adjustable bet per line goes from 1 to 100, which means a total bet of between 50 and 5,000. This is not a bad range at all.

When it comes to your wins, there are two versions of the paytable. One shows you what each symbol will pay based on your current bet; the other shows the bet multiplier, meaning you multiply your current bet per line by this amount to calculate your value. Here are the multipliers:

• Jack = 5x, 10x, 15x
• Queen = 10x, 20x, 30x
• King = 15x, 30x, 50x
• Ace = 20x, 40x, 60x
• Pineapple = 25x, 50x, 75x
• Watermelon = 30x, 60x, 90x
• Kiwi = 40x, 75x, 100x
• Orange = 50x, 100x, 150x
• Apple = 60x, 120x, 200x
• Strawberry = 75x, 150x, 250x
• Juice Box logo = 100x, 200x, 300x

Juice Box free spins

Everyone likes a free spins slot, as it is a great way to get some extra fun out of your game and increase your chances of winning at no extra cost. 

The free spins round in Juice Box is a fairly standard one, triggered by three or more scatters (the box cherries). The basic three scatters wins you 10 free spins, which increases to 20 free spins for four scatters or an impressive 30 free spins for five.

Juice Box review: our verdict

This slot has its own unusual charm. Its distinctive character sets it apart and will win over lots of players. Whether this is enough to overcome the low RTP and fairly basic free spins round is another matter, but it is certainly worth giving a spin. For a slightly more complex offering from the same developer, try Platipus' Mega Drago slot.
