ABOUT THIS SLOT
Jurassic World is the sequel to Jurassic Park, both based on the smash-hit movies of the same name. This time, you’ll find 243 ways to win, new characters and enhanced bonus features. This licensed real money online slot has fantastic atmosphere thanks to the dramatic sound track, real film footage and brilliantly realistic-looking dinosaurs roaming the reels!
The standard 5×3 reel setup sits within a metallic frame, while scenic images from the nature park create the backdrop. The reels feature familiar characters from the movie, along with the dinosaurs and a fossil – a mosquito trapped in amber. Microgaming has done brilliantly with the stunning 3D graphics and fans of the original slot are sure to be impressed with this reincarnation.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
Instead of regular paylines, Jurassic World offers players 243 ways to win, giving a payout whenever you land 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels. This uses a standard 5-reel 3-row layout and a slightly below average RTP of 95.45%, while the 30p minimum bet and medium volatility rating make this playable for all pocket sizes.
You can expect a decent balance of bets to rewards with medium-sized payouts appearing frequently enough to keep your bankroll ticking along. The best payout you can expect from your trip to the Jurassic age is 14,166x stake, which is achievable if you’re lucky in the Gyrosphere Valley during Free Spins.
SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
The symbols in Jurassic World include a fossilised mosquito in amber, a dinosaur skull, 6 dinosaurs and 4 characters from the film. The best-paying symbol is the fossil, which can award 210x stake for 5 of a kind. This is also the Scatter and can activate the Free Spins round, including 3 different bonus options. The dinosaur skull is Wild and this can substitute for other symbols in addition to paying 17.50x stake for 5 matches.
The character symbols award the best regular payouts: Owen Brady pays up to 14x stake, Claire Dearing up to 12.25x stake, Simon Masrani up to 10.50x stake and Vic Hoskins up to 8.75x stake for 5 of a kind. The dinosaurs with their colourful surrounds award the lower payouts from 2.45x to 4.20x stake for 5 matches.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Wilds and Scatters
The dinosaur skeleton skull is Wild, substituting for the other symbols and appearing stacked up to 10 spaces high. The fossil is the Scatter and if you land 2 of these, they will turn into Wilds. Landing 3 fossils triggers the Free Spins round, which includes 3 special bonus features.
Free Spins
When 3 Scatters land on the reels, you trigger 10 Free Spins, along with a random bonus feature. Once you’ve triggered this 15 times, you can choose your own bonus:
- The Gyrosphere Valley feature adds a Multiplier Trail, which increases on every non-winning spin until it is applied to your win, after which it resets to default.
- The Creation Lab feature triggers Rolling Reels and Cryo Wilds, where Wilds lock into place and winning symbols are replaced with new ones – and potentially new wins.
- The Raptor Den feature adds Sticky Wild Scatters and if you hit 3 or more of these, you’ll trigger 5 extra Free Spins.
Indominus Rex
The ferocious Indominus Rex appears on the reels at random and when this happens, you’ll receive a cash prize of up to 1,000x stake.
OUR VERDICT
Jurassic World is an impressive slot, both visually and in terms of its features. The licensing means you can enjoy all the movie clips, sound track and characters from the story brought to life in slot form. It’s a fantastic sequel to Jurassic Park and manages to improve on the 3D graphics, in addition to offering a host of strong bonus features. If you’re after the biggest payout, opt for the Gryosphere Valley feature in Free Spins – this is where the Multipliers can reach 7x and potentially unlock the top award of 14,166x stake. Apart from the slightly under-average RTP, there’s lots to love about this slot and it offers a spine-tingling adventure, complete with thrilling dinosaur animations, which sometimes look like they’re jumping out the screen into your living room! Definitely try a spin on this ferocious beast.
