Cherry Power Boost is a fruit-themed slot game developed by Inspired Gaming. The game features a classic 5×3 reel layout with 20 paylines, offering players a familiar yet exciting gaming experience.
One of the key features of Cherry Power Boost is the Wild symbol. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both the base game and the Free Games Bonus. The Wild substitutes for all other symbols as part of a line win, helping players form winning combinations.
The Gold Cherry symbol acts as the game's Scatter. Landing five or more Gold Cherry symbols during the base game triggers the Free Games Bonus, awarding the player 5 free spins. When the bonus is activated, the values on all Gold Cherries in view are added together and awarded to the player before the free spins begin.
During the Free Games Bonus, the total award value from the triggering Gold Cherries becomes the value for all Gold Cherries in the bonus round. These values are added to the Bonus Win Meter along with any coincidental line pays.
The game's standout feature is the Power Boost Bonus. This feature is activated when the bonus win reaches 30x the stake. The Power Boost can award one of the following:
- +5 Free Games
- x2 Multiplier of the Bonus Win
- x3 Multiplier of the Bonus Win
- x4 Multiplier of the Bonus Win
- x5 Multiplier of the Bonus Win
- x10 Multiplier of the Bonus Win
If the Power Boost Meter doesn't reach 30x or more, the Power Boost award progresses to the next level for the subsequent bonus round, up to the maximum of x10 multiplier. This progressive element adds an extra layer of excitement and potential for bigger wins.
The game also includes a Spin Chance feature, which is triggered automatically when the credit falls below the current price of play but is still greater than zero. This gives players an opportunity to wager their remaining credit for a chance at an additional base game spin.
Cherry Power Boost offers a range of betting options, with a minimum bet of 0.20 and a maximum of 100. The game's maximum win is set at 250,000.
One of the most interesting aspects of Cherry Power Boost is its dual RTP settings of 92% and 94.5%. This unusual feature allows operators to choose between two different return-to-player percentages, potentially affecting the game's long-term payout behavior.
