About Jurassic Park from Microgaming

Unless you've been living under a rock, you will have seen the famous film, so you should instantly recognise many of the characters which appear on the reels. You have Dr Grant (Sam Neil), Dr Ellie Sattler (Laure Dern), John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), and Dr Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) as the high-paying icons. Fear not, the dinos make an appearance, too, albeit as lower-paying symbols, with Dilophosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, and of course, Tyrannosaurus Rex all cropping up.

Alongside your standard paying icons, the game also contains a wild symbol in the shape of the now famous Jurassic Park logo, a scatter in the form of the equally as legendary mosquito in a piece of amber, and no less than 5 free spins and a randomly triggered bonus to boot.

Jurassic Park Bonus Rounds and Paylines

Which bonus you land with the scatters is random at first, and there are 5 of them available. However, once you've triggered the bonus 25 times, you can pick your own free spin bonus round. Each bonus offers 12 free spins and unique goodies. The Tyrannosaurus Rex bonus a wild reel feature, with stacked wilds appearing frequently, and all T-Rex symbols appearing stacked on the reels. Meanwhile, the Velociraptor bonus offers split multiplier wilds. Multiplier wilds provide random 4x, 5x or 6x multiplier, and wilds can be split by the raptor's claw to create six-of-a-kind combos which are worth double the amount you would get from a traditional five-of-a-kind combo. Velociraptors will also appear stacked on the reels.

The Brachiosaurus bonus offers mystery multipliers which will see a randomly multiplier worth between 2x and 6x the normal rate of pay on each win and these dinos will also appear stacked on the reels. In the Triceratops bonus, players get running wilds which see the stacks of wilds grow on each spin. On non-winning spins, Triceratops stampede across the reels offering wilds which can be held. Nudges and re-spins also form a part of this bonus, which sees your favourite three-horned dinosaurs appear as stacked symbols. Lastly, we have the Dilophosaurus bonus; this promises a winning wild feature in which the dinosaurs can spit venom at other symbols, turning them into wild symbols until they feature in a win. Dilophosaurus symbols are stacked in this feature.

As for bets, Jurassic Park is a 243 ways to win slot, which means you aren't going to be able to alter the 243 paylines in this 5-reel slot. You can change your coin values and the number of coins you bet per spin, though, giving the slot a wagering range, which has a floor of 30p and a ceiling of £300.

Why is Jurassic Park So Popular?

Jurassic Park was always going to prove popular with players, even if the game had been a bit dull. The sheer popularity of the original film ensures it.

However, the game is not dull at all, and contains a wealth of features, such as…

• Stacked Wilds
  The Jurassic Park logos appear as wilds, and they can appear stacked on all the reels. They can substitute for all icons barring scatters.
• Scatter Symbols
  Scatters appear as mosquitos stuck in amber. These icons can trigger a free spin bonus when 3 or more appear on the reels of the game in any position.
• Free Spin Bonuses
  There are five different types of free spin rounds for you to play, each with its own perks and dinosaur-theme. We will come to those bonuses in just a second, but any could be triggered via the scatter icons.
• T-Rex Alert Bonus
  This feature is triggered at random. When it is, a Tyrannosaurus will walk in the jungle background. For at least the next six spins (paid spins, that is) players will get to play with at least 35 extra wilds added to the reels. This naturally offers you an increased chance of winning. When the T-Rex walks off back into the jungle, this randomly triggered bonus ends.
