Most online casino software providers include such slot machines in their portfolios where an enhanced wager unlocks special features. Playtech has used this feature more sparingly than some other software providers and calls it XtraWin. It is a voluntary feature and needs to be activated by clicking on the XtraWin logo. The online slot game loads in the default mode with this feature disabled. The visual appearance of the screen undergoes some change to clearly indicate that the feature is active. All paylines are automatically enabled. You cannot avail this feature with less than the maximum number of paylines active. The normal total bet is increased by 50%. The returns are commensurate with the increased wager. In fact you should not play the XtraWin online slots without enabling the XtraWin feature. This article reviews some of the Playtech slot games with this feature.

Wings of Gold is the most popular Playtech online slot with the XtraWin feature. It has a World War II theme. The high paying symbols are the female pilot and fighter jets. The pilot is the wild symbol and doubles payouts. The Wings of Gold logo can award up to 100 free spins. The pilot becomes and expanding wild in the free spins. When you activate the XtraWin feature five golden jets fly across the reels and turn the background sky into a golden hue. The material aspect is that the pilot becomes an expanding wild in the base game as well. The line payouts are made as per the normal line bets but the scatter payouts are multiplied by the enhanced total bet per spin.

Pharaoh’s Secret is an Egyptian themed online slot. The high paying symbols are Pyramid interior, Eye of Ra, Isis and Scarab. The Pharaoh is the wild symbol. The free spins feature is triggered by the Pyramid symbol. Up to 100 free spins are awarded with the Pharaoh as an expanding wild. The XtraWin feature functions identically as in Wings of Gold. Dolphin’s Cash has the XtraWin feature operate differently. This video slot game also introduces a feature called Shifting Wilds. The dolphin wild symbol first appears on reel 5. But then with every successive spin it moves one reel to the left. When the Playtech XtraWin feature is activated, the wild symbol clones itself into two when it appears on the fifth reel. Then both wild symbols move leftwards simultaneously. All these XtraWin video slots can be played at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Casino Tropez.
