Time Has Stood Still On the Mammoth Tundra Slot
Wooly Mammoths roamed the cold tundra of Asia, Europe, and North America between 10,000 and 300,000 years ago. These prehistoric beasts were about the size of an elephant and were covered in thick fur necessary to keep them warm in the cold climate. According to researchers, mammoths died out when the icecaps melted because, rather ironically, the new wetter climate wiped out their food source.
Step back in time with these prehistoric beasts in Booming’s new offering, Mammoth Tundra slot.
Where time stood still
Mammoth Tundra slot is a five-reel game that features ten paylines. The slot features twelve symbols: four minor symbols represented by playing cards suits, six major symbols represented by animal heads, a mammoth wild symbol, and a glacier free spins symbol.
The mammoth wild can appear on reels two, three, and four. When one of these wilds lands on the reels, it will expand to fill the entire reel on which it landed. It will then substitute for all other symbols aside from the free spins symbol to complete winning combinations.
A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three or more of its glacier free spin symbols. Free Spins can be re-triggered.
During a round of free spins, each wild symbol that lands will transform all instances of the lowest major symbol on the reels to the next highest valued major symbol for the duration of the round. The appearance of wilds will also award additional free spins, with one, two, and three wilds appearing on the reels, awarding one, three, and five additional free spins, respectively.
Should Mammoth Tundra slot be extinct?
Let’s talk about what I liked about Mammoth Tundra slot. I do like a good expanding wild symbol. I also liked the symbols substitution feature that triggers when wilds appear during a round of free spins. The free spins feature is actually great all around. What I don’t like is how tired the theme is. Mammoth Tundra slot looks like at least ten other slots, and I think I’d struggle to tell them apart in a blind playtest. I just think the interesting features introduced are just wasted on the execution of the theme.
The slot has medium volatility. This means that the gameplay will have a balance between rare, big wins and small, consistent wins. If you’re looking for big wins, however, you’re going to need to be prepared to bet big. The slot’s maximum bet is a staggeringly high €500 a spin, and if you have the bank balance for that kind of gameplay, you’ll only be able to expect winnings of up to €250,000 thanks to the low 500x max multiplier. The slot has an RTP of 95.4%.
