Introduction

Join the Mad Genius in his lab, and if the reels fall in your favour you could get to help him with his experiments to win prizes. Pick the right beaker for Free Spins, throw three Switches to shock one of the reels into Wild mode or experiment with different chemicals in the Bonus game for the chance of an instant win. This slot features three different Scatters to trigger the three bonus features. During the base game it offers a re-spin feature after each spin, although that's at a price. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The reels are contained in the central apparatus that dominates the Mad Genius's lab, which is lined with shelves of equipment under a vaulted ceiling. As the player you're looking over his shoulder as he works at the reels, and he celebrates with you if a win comes in. The design of the base game feature where you select a reel for re-spin adds to the feel of working in the lab. The symbols, as expected, fit into the theme, consisting of the Mad Genius himself, his assistant, various pieces of lab equipment and, worryingly, a rabbit - although thankfully it's the rabbit's carrots that appear in the features. A bouncy, slightly macabre soundtrack completes the atmosphere.

The Mad Genius Bonus Features

Reel Respin

This unusual feature lets you re-spin a single reel for a pre-determined price at the end of each spin. You need to move quickly if you're in Autoplay mode and you want to re-spin before the reels continue.

Click Me Mini-Game

There are three round-bottom beaker Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. If they land, they trigger a Click Me mini-game. Click on the beakers to reveal instant wins or free spins. The mini-game continues until you reveal the 'Collect' sign.

Wild Switches

Land three Wild Switch Scatters on any of the reels, and one random reel will turn Wild for a random number of spins. If during those spins you land another Wild Switch, the Wild reel will stay on for another spin. 

Bonus Round

If three Carrot Scatters land anywhere on the reels, this triggers the Bonus round. Help the Mad Genius mix a chemical compound to experiment on the carrot for a random bonus prize.

Bonus features can only be triggered during the base game and not while another bonus feature is in progress - e.g. during free spins or during the Wild reel feature. The Reel re-spin feature is also disabled while other bonus features are in progress.

The Mad Genius Review

For players who like a variety of features and a more interactive game there's lots to like, particularly with the Reel Respin feature, the Click-me mini-game and the Carrot bonus. For something with the same theme but with simpler gameplay, why not try Quickspin's Gold Lab slot, which has respins as its main bonus? Alternatively, check out our collection of Nucleus Gaming free slots or browse our extensive catalogue of slots with a free spins round.
