Jurassic World: Raptor Riches Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is the third slot machine from Microgaming that’s in this universe, a branded game that will incorporate images and characters from the recently released movie. It all started with a Jurassic Park slot, and more recently they came up with two Jurassic World titles, Raptor Riches being the latest one.

If you check out the game’s symbols, you will find a selection of three dinosaurs logos, three actual dinosaurs, and four of the movie’s main characters as top symbols. Scatters and wilds have also been added to the mix.

Developer

Like many other games that Microgaming have released lately, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches was designed by Fortune Factory Studios, one of their partners. We’ve seen a lot of great games from them as well, including Village People Macho Moves, Tiki Mania, or Amber Sterling’s Mystic Shrine.

How To Play It

The standard betting system will allow you to spend between $0.20 and $100 per spin. An extra bet (WinBooster) can be activated, in which case you’re placing wagers of $0.30 to $150 (an extra 50% is added).

A basic 5×3 reels system is being used, and you’re going to find 20 active lines across it. Getting paid is possible when you have an active line with matching symbols, on 3+ adjacent positions, left to right.

Special Features

The regular wild is the one showing the Dinosaur Eye, along with the feature’s logo. These may be used as replacement symbols, but they’re also going to pay by themselves, if they find themselves on an active line in multiple positions.

There is a second wild, the stacked Indoraptor, which will only show up on reels 2-5. If they show up only partially during free spins, they are nudged into place, covering the full reel and giving you a free respin feature. In the base game, you need them to show up in full size, to get those respins. Following each respin, the wild Indoraptor moves towards the left by one position, until he leaves the game area.

A Multiplier Trail is being used, and it will be of higher value when the Win Booster option is active. As you go through respins, multipliers go from 1x to 5x during regular spins, and from 1x to 10x during Win Booster rounds. If you get them during free spins, the multipliers are 1x to 10x, and 1x to 20x, respectively.

Getting the free spins is possible via special Volcano scatters, which need to land on reels 1, 3, and 5. Stacked wilds are nudged into place each time in this mode, so they can get the respins to trigger more easily.

There is one more special feature to mention, the Jackpot Wheel, which you can reach through a random event that can trigger as you collect Mosquito in Amber overlay symbols. If the feature triggers, you spin the wheel, and you win a jackpot. There are five jackpots in total, from 15x to 2,500x the stake.

Maximum Payouts

A slot machine that can have high volatility, Raptor Riches has a 96.02% RTP, which means that it’s an overall fair game, even if it can feel punishing to individual players. Its top prize comes from the Jackpot Wheel, and it’s worth 2,500x the stake.

Summary

As a branded slot machine, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is likely going to have an advantage over a lot of other new games that will launch at the same time. It’s got a lot of features as well, so it’s not going to be easy getting bored with this one.
