How to Play Jurassic Park Slot
The Jurassic Park slot was created by Microgaming and first launched in 2014. It is a 5 reel, 243 pay line slot machine. The minimum bet on the game is 30p. The maximum bet is rather low at £15.
Can you guess what the theme of the game is? Yep! That is right. The theme of this slot machine is Jurassic Park, and boy is it a well-themed game.
Honestly, the symbols are gorgeous, and the background of the game looks even better. Cap it off with the music and you probably have one of the best movie-themed slot machines to be released in recent years.
Basically, this game is great in every single way. If you are a fan of the Jurassic Park movies, and let’s be honest, that is just about everybody, then this is a game that you are going to enjoy.
This is a Microgaming slot so it should be easy to play. We are going to cover the features in depth in the next section.
All you really need to know right now is that the biggest decision that you are really going to need to make when it comes to this slot machine is how much you want to bet on each individual spin. That is it.
As long as you are betting the minimum of 30p and covering yourself for all paylines, then those wins should come in rather thick and fast.
Bonus Rounds & In Game Features
You would think that a branded slot machine like this would try to rely on its brand alone. So many other branded slot machines out there do that. However, Microgaming decided that they did not want to go down that route.
Instead, they wanted to design a game which was just as fun as the movie. Sure, you are not going to be dealing with a Tyrannosaurus Rex hunting you down, but you are still going to get a thrill on each spin.
T Rex Alert Mode: The feature that seems to appear the most is the T-Rex Alert Mode. It is triggered randomly. It lasts for six spins with the T-Rex tracking you down. Across these six spins, up to 35 additional wilds will be added to the reels.
Scatters: Three or more scatters (the dinosaur egg) will trigger the free spins mode. You will get 12 free spins. The feature you trigger (there are five of them) will be dependent on how many times you have entered the feature:
- T-Rex free spins: wild reels. The t-rex may also appear offering an automatic win.
- Velociraptor: wild multipliers!
- Brachiosaurus Free Spins: a random multiplier (up to 7x!) can be active for a certain number of spins.
- Triceratops: running wilds. Re-spins etc. Sometimes the dinosaur will run across the reels making random ones fully wild.
- Dilophosaurus: random symbols will be turned wild.
Once you have triggered this feature 25 times, you will be able to choose which mode you want!
Jurassic Park Mobile Slot Machine
The problem that Microgaming faced when it came to the development of the Jurassic Park slot machine is the fact that it came around the same time as mobile slot machines started to be released by every company. The problem was that technology was nowhere near as great as it is today.
However, we must say, when it comes to the Jurassic Park mobile slot machine, it is fantastic. Sure, it may be a bit slower and less technical than the slot machines that were released in the past couple of years, but it is still good.
This is one of our favourite slot machines to play ‘on the go’, and this is really saying something because we are not massive fans of mobile slot machines at all. We think that you are going to enjoy it.
Summary – What Do We Think?
This game really lives up to the Jurassic Park brand. Honestly, this is one of the best machines that we have played in years. We love the free spins. We love the game. We love everything about it! This is highly recommended. There's also a Jurassic World Slot that you can try too, for those Jurassic film fans over the world.
You can play this awesome dinosaur-themed game on any website which offers Microgaming slots.
