Gates of Babylon Mini-Max Slot Review
Have you watched Ricky Gervais on The Tonight Show? If you’re an older dude, you’ll no doubt resonate with what the 55-year-old comedian has to say about getting old. And if you’re a younger guy, well guess what your future has in store!
My favorite quip is when Gervais describes the experience of having a bath. But let him say it in his own words:
“I didn’t realize until I was 50 that testicles float in the bath. They look like a couple of little hot air balloons taking off from the forest.” 🎈
And that seems like a fitting intro to the Hanging Gardens which feature in our next slot, Gates of Babylon Mini-Max slot from Kalamba.
Gameplay
The ancient city of Babylon is perhaps best known for its Hanging Gardens. The word is that King Nebuchadnezzar II built the garden – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – for his main squeeze, his wife Amytis.
So, it’s no coincidence that these two peeps are symbols you’ll find, along with some other dude with a strong beard game, and yet another Middle Eastern honey.
Wild Columns (columns being reels) and Wild symbols replace all symbols other than the Bonus, Silver, and Gold Coin symbols. Gold Coins are also Wild and they replace all symbols except Bonus symbols and Silver Coins.
Cutting quickly to the stats shows us that Gates of Babylon Mini-Max slot is no slouch when it comes to backing up its sumptuous design.
There are 20 paylines, a variable 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. that ranges from 96.11% to 96.72% (due to the HyperBet mechanic), and a max win of €225,000 off of a medium/high volatility rate.
And the last bit of good news is that there are no currency limitations, so you can play in shekels or crypto – whichever works for you.
And as a last comment before we get to the good stuff, you’ll see that there’s a Big Win button to the left of the grid. Click on that to see the daily, monthly, and all-time Big Wins this game has produced. 💰
Features
WILD COLUMN FEATURE:
You’ll notice 3 spots above each reel – your task is to land Gold Coins; each of which will grant you a ruby that fills one of those spots.
Once you’ve collected 3 rubies above a reel, it’ll trigger the Wild Column feature – all positions on the reel will now be treated as Wild symbols.
You’ll lose a ruby with each subsequent spin, so the Wild Column will only stay in effect while you have rubies on that reel.
As a last point, each Wild Column comes with a win multiplier (from 1x to 3x).
HYPERBET:
Choosing a different HyperBet will change the multiplier value for a Wild Column. It also changes the number of spins you’ll be gifted in the Free Spins feature.
FREE SPINS:
Landing 3 Bonus symbols assure you of entering the Free Spins round, and you’ll get 10 spins and a 3x multiplier for your trouble. Landing a Silver Coin after the fact gives you an extra spin.
Wild Columns also apply during the Free Spins feature and work the same way, with the only difference being that Wild Columns stay for the duration of the round.
BUY BONUS:
There are 3 options you can buy into:
- Option 1 (40.20x your bet): 10 Free Spins and up to 2x Wild Multiplier
- Option 2 (117.60x your bet): 12 Free Spins and up to 3x Wild Multiplier
- Option 3 (209.50x your bet): 14 Free Spins and up to 3x Wild Multiplier
Performance
The Mesopotamians – that’s where Babylon was based – were a smart bunch. As is Kalamba, coz this game didn’t stutter or throw up errors or anything while I was testing it.
Maximum Win
Place your bets from €0.10 all the way to the cap of €15. The max multiplier is 15,000x and the max win comes in at €225,000.
Conclusion
The thing I found about Gates of Babylon Mini-Max slot was that the Free Spins round was notoriously tricky to land unless I was betting seriously high stakes. Wild Columns came in quite regularly.
And that leads me to believe that the studio is driving players to use the HyperBet and/or Buy Bonus. So, if you’re looking to make some money, do bear that in mind.
The game comes on song when you’re betting large, so if you’re looking for a game where you can waft about, this won’t be a fulfilling one for ya.
