Rock, Roar and Spin Your Way to Prehistoric Slots Action
By Shane Addinall Apr 19, 2022 Game ReleaseThis week, take a spin on the wild side as we dive into the fun-filled adventure of the gaming industry's best prehistoric-themed new slot releases.As much as we enjoy looking to the future and seeking out adventure among the stars, we are always drawn back to what was or could have been. Our desire to explore lost cultures and ancient civilisations has seen us uncover some profound mysteries and fantastic treasures.
The one aspect of our world’s development that has grasped our attention above all others is the foggy history and mythology surrounding dinosaurs.
Whether it’s battling Kaiju with giant robots, following the adventures of Fred and Barney in The Flintstones, reanimating long lost species in Jurassic Park or the media attention gained by the discovery of living Coelacanths, a species thought to be extinct for millions of years, we cannot get enough of these prehistoric creatures.
To celebrate our obsession with this interesting if not somewhat terrifying part of earth's history, we have reviewed three Online Slots rooted in fossils, adventure, and rock!
✓Jurassic Park Gold slot by Stormcraft Studios
This officially licensed Jurassic Park slot machine offers fans of the films and other games under the same banner a chance to revisit one of the world’s most disastrous theme parks. Stormcraft Studios have followed in the footsteps of the notorious character John Hammond and breathed new life into this dinosaur-filled tale.
The opening scene of the casino game greets you with the franchise T-Rex, who roars in welcome and stomps around the globally recognised Jurassic Park logo. The nostalgia hits do not end there, as every reel of the video slot is filled with imagery from the film. The highest paying symbols include portraits of unique talents such as Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Lord Richard Attenborough.
- RTP: 96.00%
- Lines: 40
- Max Win: 8000x
- Volatility: High
Jurassic Park Gold offers fans of the series the chance to win one of four in-game jackpots. As these are no progressive jackpots, they are not reliant on a growing prize pool but are available to win again with each new spin at their full value. The highest paying jackpot is the Mega payout which rewards players 8000 times their bet level.
These jackpots are connected to the Link&Win feature. Collecting six or more blue Powerballs on the reels will unlock additional reels, reward Free Spins, payout cash prizes or trigger the slot machines jackpot game.
There is also the Wildstorm feature represented by an amber shard containing a fossilised mosquito. Filling the meter with 15 amber Scatter symbols will trigger the T-Rex Free Spin Bonus game, where players are rewarded with a free game. The Wildstorm feature is guaranteed to be active during this spin and could result in wins of up to 5000 times your bet.
Landing three or more Scatter symbols on the reels at any given time will, however, trigger one of the following free spin feature games:
- Dilophosaurus Spins: 12 free spins with up to 8x Wild multipliers and wins of up to 3600 times stake.
- Velociraptor Spins: 9 free spins with up to 8x Wild multipliers and wins of up to 3650 times stake.
- Spinosaurus Spins: 6 free spins with up to 8x Wild multipliers and wins of up to 4000 times stake.
Thanks to the Jurassic Park Gold Wild Chase feature, even the Wild symbols are more potent during these free games. This feature allows various hot spots to appear on the reels during the Dilophosaurus, Velociraptor and Spinosaurus round. Landing a Wild in an active hotspot will cause it to expand and cover the reel for enhanced winning chances.
✓Rock Vegas slot by Reel Kingdom
Where the previous entry dove into the world of science and what could be Reel Kingdom chose to focus on the rhythm of prehistoric life with Rock Vegas! As soon as you load into the slot machine, your ears are greeted with a funky percussion-driven soundtrack, this toe-tapping tune immediately tells you everything you need to know about the Fabulous Rock Vegas Mega Hold & Spins slot.
The carved stone reels are set in amongst vines and gigantic plants while a stoic caveman watches over you to ensure that none of the locals gets out of hand. That is a pretty important position when considering that these locals include a snow-white sabre tooth tiger, a primordial reptile, and a woolly mammoth. As it turns out, the caveman is not just there for protection, he is also the highest paying symbol on the reels.
- RTP: 95.60%
- Lines: 20
- Max Win: 10000x
- Volatility: High
The reels also contain a glowing rock which acts as the Bonus symbol. This symbol has an extraordinary power which could see it land as part of a spin or simply appear on the reels at random at the end of any game.
Landing three or more Bonus symbols on the reels will trigger the Mega Hold & Spin feature. This bonus round will see up to 5 colourful rock symbols appear on a unique 10x10 grid after all winning lines have been paid out. These rocks all have pre-set values based on their colour, and the number of Bonus symbols used to trigger the feature will decide how many of these colours will be present during the bonus round.
These colourful rocks will also combine into super symbols when clustered together. Where groupings of 2x2 form a super symbol, it will receive a random multiplier of 5x up to 10x. When a 3x3 super symbol is created, a random multiplier of 35x up to 500x will be applied.
During this bonus feature, a key collection mini-game will also be active. Busting petrified rocks and collecting the keys can trigger a Mystery Multiplier. This multiplier will range from 2 times your win up to 100 times your win and stack with any super symbol multipliers.
Creating the game’s most lucrative chain of win multipliers will put you in a position to take home up to 10,000 times your initial bet from a single game.
✓Mammoth Rampage slot by Spinomenal
Our final Mesozoic masterpiece is Spinomenal’s Mammoth Rampage video slot. The reels are set high in a snowy tundra covering where the whistling wind, drifting snowflakes and icicles play into the game’s frozen setting.
The slot machine's highest paying symbol is no surprise, given its title. The majestic Mammoth is top of the food chain, followed by the Rhino, the Sabretooth Tiger, the Dodo, and a fossilised paw print. There is also a set of low paying symbols, namely the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10. That's not all; spinning the reels of Mammoth Rampage will also unearth frozen Wild symbols and a mysterious cracking egg.
- RTP: 96.00%
- Lines: 1024
- Max Win: 8000x
- Volatility: High
To heighten the slot's base game's entertainment value here is a chance to randomly trigger the Rampage feature. This feature will cause up to 7 of the higher paying symbols, excluding the Mammoth, to appear on the reels in the hopes of creating higher-paying wins.
That's not all; spinning the reels of Mammoth Rampage will also unearth frozen Wild symbols and a mysterious cracking egg. The frozen Wild acts as one would expect, taking the place of missing symbols to complete winning paylines. However, the Mystery Egg is the gateway to not one but two special features.
Landing three or more Mystery Egg symbols will randomly launch either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.
Triggering the Bonus Game brings up a Wheel of Fortune style mini-game where you spin to win prizes placed on the wheel. In addition to a selection of smaller win multipliers, there is the chance to win one of three jackpots, with the highest paying of these worth 1000x your bet. If one of the jackpots has not been won, additional spins can be purchased.
Being awarded the Free Spins feature will see you attempt to complete progress bars for each of the Mammoth's companions. Completing a progress bar requires you to have collected 5 frozen Mammoth symbols. You are awarded an additional five free spins for each progress bar that you complete.
