Game Overview
Here is another premier league online slot from top-tier developer Play’N’Go, who is legendary for the unique and innovative aspects they like to introduce into their games. Mount M is a 5×4 reel online slot that uses 1,024 pay ways in its default configuration, potentially expanding to 8,192 pay ways during features. According to the paytable, you can win up to 13,000x your stake and play with a variable RTP that can reach as high as 96.20%.
The main feature in Mount M online slot is the Evolution Free Spins, which are triggered by hitting three or more bonus scatters and can award up to 20 free spins. You can also retrigger the Free Spins to win up to 10 more. The maximum number of spins that can be won is capped at 68 – good luck getting that, however! During the bonus feature, you can collect orbs to grow the size of the reel area, potentially expanding reels two through four to eight high, and better the expanded reel will also boost the value of the animal symbols on the reels and add additional spins to your remaining count as well!
There’s lots to see with this game, so if you are feeling impatient, why not play a few spins as you read the rest of our review? The free demo slot of the Mount M slot game is available right here:
Mount M Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I’m not sure what I expected from the title Mount M, but you only need to glance at the reel set to get an idea of what this game is all about. The reels are stuffed to the brim with rare species, and I suspect this particular group has been chosen because they can all be found somewhere on the continent of Antarctica. There are plenty of other online slots that use an ice world theme, but this one feels unique and different. Despite this, I only wish I knew exactly what the “M” in Mount M refers to!
Things begin to get a little bit … debatable once you get to the paytable, but I suspect this is just the result of a pay ways setup that can potentially expand up to a maximum of 8,192 pay ways. The top symbol – the mammoth – only returns 2x your stake for a full pay way of five-of-a-kind, after which you have the tiger at 1.5x, the woolly rhino(?) at 1x, the wolf at 0.8x, and the ostrich at 0.5x, These numbers just “feel” low to me, despite the fact the many symbols are stacked on the reels, and you can also win on a great deal of pay ways at once. I was hoping that the wilds or scatters would have some payout of their own to add to this section, but sadly that is not the case. The royal symbols all pay around 0.3x your bet or less for a full pay way of five-of-a-kind, so they can’t help make up the slack, unfortunately!
As for the bet selection, the demo version of Mount M allows you to choose your stakes between €0.10 per paid spin at the bottom and €100.00 at the top, but these numbers may not be directly adaptable to the real money casino versions of the game. €0.10 sure feels like a low minimum bet for such a large amount of pay ways, but I wouldn’t put it past Play’N’Go to have worked out a way to do this!
Base Game & Modifiers
We’ve talked a little about the base game already – it uses a 5×4 playfield with 1,024 pay ways, but this can expand during other modes so that the middle three reels will expand to eight high. It’s unusual for Play’N’Go not to include much in the way of base game features or modifiers, but that looks to be the case here – all of the feature goodness and RTP seem to be locked up in the main bonus round! Nevertheless, it seems worth talking about these bits here:
Wild Symbols
The wild symbol appears on reels two, three, and four only and substitutes for all other symbols except for the bonus scatter. During the free spins feature, landing a wild on the middle reels whilst they are glowing will also grant a free re-spin.
Mount M Slot Free Spins Feature
Three, Four, or Five bonus scatter symbols will award 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively, and you can also re-trigger the feature with 2, 3, 4, or 5 bonus scatters to win an additional 3, 5, 8, or ten spins for your remaining counter respectively.
During the free spins mode, you can expand the centre three reels to a height of eight high by collecting orbs (carried by wilds), eventually resulting in a playfield with 8,192 pay ways. Furthermore, when the reels expand, an animal symbol will be upgraded to the mammoth, adding one more free spin to your total. This reminds me a lot of Thunderkick’s title, Pink Elephants – give it a try, and I’m sure you will soon see what I mean.
If you manage to hit a wild symbol whilst the middle reels are glowing during this part of the game, you will be granted a free re-spin, and you can also upgrade additional animal symbols during your re-spins by expanding the reel set during free spins. As you might have gathered, there is quite a lot going on with this bonus round! In my opinion, it might even make up for the lack of base game features!
Mount M Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’m sure I’ve said this once already during the last few days, but it sure feels as if Play’N’Go have been busy lately! The developer has created numerous top-tier online slots in a very short period – and why should we be surprised? They are one of the best out there, after all. Mount M is obviously well worth a look – I only wish they had included a bonus buy feature for those who are allowed to use it!
