Slot Review: Microgaming's Jurassic World
Published July 15, 2017 by Mike P
Check out our slot review on Microgaming’s Jurassic World slot to learn more about this new release.
Jurassic World is a video slot licensed on the 2015 movie that starred Christ Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. This game was released in June 2017 as a summer blockbuster for Microgaming casinos. Microgaming is known for having previously released a dinosaur slot based on the 1993 release of Jurassic Park, which is what spawned the entire series in the first place.
Design
Microgaming has invested wisely to secure the full rights for its Jurassic World slot. That much is clear from the intro video featuring genuine footage from the movie to the use of actors’ likenesses. These factors are both crucial in legitimising the quality of creating a genuine gaming experience based on a beloved movie franchise.
Setup
After settling into the game, players will start spinning five reels in order to try and create winning matches. Instead of including paylines, Microsoft has been more innovative in providing 243 ways of winning. There is no way of adjusting paylines, so this means that players will always have 243 ways of winning.
Wagering
Jurassic World has a straightforward wagering system in which players get to adjust the coin value from €0.30 up to €7.20. Along the way, there are many different wagering options to give players even greater control over what they feel comfortable to stake.
Special Features
The logo for the movie itself will act as a wild symbol and can stack up to 10 high. Then comes the Indominus feature and the ability to win 3x or 5x your stake entirely at random. If the Indominus Rex species appears, then there could be a multiplier of up to 1,000x.
Free Spins
The amber symbols are the scatters and three or more landing in play will initiate free spins. This feature will then be hosted at one of three random locations. Gyrosphere Valley is a place where you can snag 10 free spins and a rising multiplier of up to 7x, while the Creation Lab has 10 spins plus rolling reels that can deliver on-going wins.
Raptor Den is arguably the fiercest location, but can be very rewarding with the wild scatters and the ability to add five extra free spins. This rounds off what is a superb slot adaptation of an A-list Hollywood franchise.
