Theme
When nasty bugs and pests come along, you need a guy like Alvin Goodman, the lead character in this pest control-themed pokie. He’s skilled at exterminating bugs, rodents and termites, but now he has to face up to a raccoon that has been causing trouble in the neighbourhood. If you can help Alvin catch the raccoon, you’ll be rewarded very well for your troubles.
Format
The Exterminator is a five reel game with three rows and up to 30 paylines. The reels are set against the walls of the infested log cabin that Alvin Goodman is trying to protect. The Exterminator himself can be seen on the left hand side of the reels, while the pesky raccoon darts around the screen.
The symbols are all related to the theme, and these include Alvin, the raccoon, dustbins, a wire trap, a sign for Raccoon City, a ‘Not Welcome’ mat, some business cards, and a raccoon tail. There is a truck which acts as an expanding wild symbol, and two scatter symbols: the raccoon tracks and the trap blueprint.
The expanding wild symbol means that if you land the truck on any reel it will turn the whole reel wild, after which any possible winning combinations will be re-evaluated. The expanding wild can really help you to build those larger wins.
Sticky win
The sticky win feature of this game can make for higher wins and more fun too. Whenever a winning combination of symbols appears on the reels, these symbols will “stick” and stay in place while the rest of the symbols respin. If another symbol appears which contributes to the original winning spin, the new symbol will also “stick” and the reels will spin once more.
This continues until no new symbols can be made to “stick” - as you can see, this can make winning combinations much more profitable with no extra cost to you. Sticky wins are also triggered by lining up free spins symbols and bonus round symbols too, so it can help you get to those extra features more easily.
Bonus features
Landing five or more of the raccoon footprint scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will get you into The Exterminator’s free spins feature. On each of your free spins, your winnings will be subject to a random multiplier which can be anywhere between 1x and 5x. The blueprint is also a scatter symbol, and if you can spin five or more of these anywhere on the reels you will trigger a picking game.
You’ll be taken to a new screen and asked to choose one of the highlighted areas to reveal a cash prize. The Exterminator also has a gamble feature, where you can double up on any base game win. Simply predict the colour of a card dealt to you by Alvin to double your winnings.
