Jurassic Kingdom (PG Soft) Slot Demo & Review

It’s fascinating to think of all the creatures and civilisations that have lived on our planet before us. One of the most intriguing of all though, is the dinosaurs, and if you’ve ever been to a museum and seen the size of some of those things, they must have been quite the sight where there were thousands of them, and they were the dominant species on earth. Undoubtedly, the popularity of dinosaurs increased tenfold with the release of the Jurassic movies, and on the back of these, we got a couple of licensed online slots titled Jurassic Park, and Jurassic Park Gold, both of which are worth trying out in my opinion. Back to today’s review though, and we’re delving into PG Soft’s Jurassic Kingdom a little deeper to see how it fairs against the competition.

Let’s kick things off with the paytable, and it’s hardly a surprise to see the apex predator of that period, the T-Rex, as the highest value symbol paying 7.5x for a six of a kind win. Next, we have the Triceratops worth 4x for a full line of six, followed by the Stegosaurus at 3x. Finishing off the premium value symbols are the Velociraptor, paying 1.5x for a completed payline, and finally, the Pachycephalosaurs and the Shoebills, both of which will pay 0.75x for a full payline of six. As for the lower value pays, these are made up of five royal symbols, with the Ace and King worth 0.5x for all six and the Queen, Jack, and Ten all paying 0.2x for a six of a kind win. There is a wild symbol to look out for, which is represented by the roaring dinosaur. This will substitute for all other regular game symbols.

Entering this long lost world and spinning the reels on Jurassic Kingdom will cost from a minimum of €0.20 a play up to a maximum of €20. So there is a good range of bets for players of all sized budgets to enjoy here.

Jurassic Kingdom is played on a 6×6 reel set where the number of symbols appearing on each reel is variable. This allows the game to generate anywhere up to 46,656 ways to win on any spin, so it has quite a Megaways slot feel to it. Grabbing yourself a win is easy, and you’ll need to match a minimum of 3 symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first to do so.

Cascading Reels Feature

One of the more popular in-game features on modern-day slots is the cascading reels modifier, which plays a big part in both the base game and the free spins feature on the Jurassic Kingdom. Once you create a win from left to right on the reels, the slot will remove the winning symbols from the reels, and new ones will drop in from above to fill the spaces left behind. As long as you create new winning reactions, the reels will continue to cascade and bring potential big wins!

Multiplier

At the bottom of the game reels, you will see five dinosaur eggs marked with the multipliers x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5. The first win you achieve in the base game will be at a x1 multiplier, and if you can hit another win in the same spin, the multiplier will increase to x2. It’s possible for you to reach a x5 win multiplier in the base game, with this then resetting back to x1 when you fail to make a new winning connection.

Wilds On The Way

Some symbols on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 that occupy more than two spaces may have a silver frame around them. If these symbols are involved in a win, they will transform into a randomly selected symbol from the paytable and have a gold frame put around them. Create a win with gold-framed symbols, and they will then transform into wilds, which can lead to some impressive hits in the base game and the free spins.

There is one main bonus round within the slot, and landing 4 scatter symbols in view whilst playing the base game will trigger it and award 8 free spins. Each additional scatter that lands after the fourth will add a further 2 spins to the starting total.

Free Spins

The feature will kick off with the multiplier eggs in play, starting at x1 in value. However, an egg will break at the end of every spin, and you will begin one position higher up on the multiplier. Keep a look out for the +1 symbols on the reels, too. These will add one extra free spin to your current total and can be crucial to increasing your multiplier and getting yourself some huge wins.
