Absolutely Mammoth Power Play Jackpot Slot Review
Introduction
Remember that movie Jurassic Park, where scientists brought back dinosaurs using prehistoric DNA? Well, seeing quasi-woolly mammoths lumbering around might not be too far off in the distant future if Harvard professor George Church has anything to say about it.
Church was involved in the CRISP-Cas9 technology used to create the COVID vaccines. He’s now looking to harness that technology to splice mammoth DNA into Asian elephants to produce what he calls a “mammophant.”
Mmmm. Okay then.
What isn’t nearly as contentious as Church’s DNA wizardry is Absolutely Mammoth Power Play Jackpot slot from Playtech.
Gameplay
This game wins the “Oh, we can’t be bothered to come up with a cool design” Award. I know, that was nasty. But look at it – a dull, snow-covered backdrop, a small grid, and so-so-looking symbols. It just seems like there wasn’t a lot of love going into this slot.
The controls are small when viewed on a larger screen and they aren’t particularly attractive. One interesting thing though is that you can control how fast you want the Turbo Spin to happen, as there are 3 stages you can set it to.
The game looks better on a mobile phone (held horizontally) as there’s less background and it fills the screen, unlike on a laptop or desktop device.
When it comes to the symbols, the highest paying of these is the mammoth. Next up is the warrior – who looks a little underdressed for the chilly conditions, if you ask me – then the saber-tooth tiger, the bear, and lastly the weird bird.
Peering under the hood, we see an impressive 96.47% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. and 1,024 ways to win. The medium to high volatility could see a mix between more and less frequent wins, and the top prize that’s up for grabs here is €130,800.
It’s interesting to note that any ways wins that include a Wild multiplier symbol will give you a payout of the normal win amount x the Wild’s multiplier.
Features
The Wild symbol is the traditional type in that it substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter. Wilds – and here I include those with 2x, 3x, and 5x multipliers – only land on reels 2-4.
Now, if you land 3 or more Scatters (these look like volcanoes) anywhere on the grid, you’ll set off the Free Spins round, wherein you’ll get 8 little beauties to try your luck with.
You can also retrigger the Free Spins for an additional 8 if you scoop 3 or more extra Scatters. If you can’t hit that number, how about 2 Scatters? That’ll see you rewarded with 5 Free Spins.
Whenever a Wild appears on reels 2-4 during the Free Spins round, it will reveal a multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x.
The Mammoth Stampede happens randomly during the base game. When it kicks off, mammoths will run across the reels and drop – eeeuuwww – between 1 and 16 Wilds on reels 2 – 5.
I must point out that when the mammoths run, it’s not like they’ve been given some 3D effect and come out of the screen like in Raging Rex 2 slot. Oh no, you’ll just see an aerial view from the top as they go from the bottom of the reel to the top.
Performance
Like a warrior of old, I stalked my prey using all the weapons at my disposal. The good news is that Absolutely Mammoth Power Play Jackpot slot ran flawlessly. That’s a thumbs up, then!
Maximum Win
It’s not a mammoth top prize that’s at stake here, but €130,800 will warm the cockles of most of our hearts! All you need to do is land that 3,270x multiplier.
Conclusion
The good: The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., the 1,024 ways to win, the fact that you can score up to 16 Free Spins and Wilds, the multipliers, and the randomness of the Mammoth Stampede feature.
The not-so-good: Obviously it looks dated, and the features aren’t much to write home about.
It seems like the pros outweigh the cons, but that’s not quite the reality. On paper it looks okay, but Wilds and multipliers don’t blow my animal hide up.
If you’re into ways to win games, or you’re kind of a newbie and you like Free Spins and Wilds, then give it a bash. Me, I’m gonna look for greener pastures elsewhere.
