Dino PD - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Push Gaming is getting more and more friendly with this bunch of dinosaurs, but who could blame them? The recent smash hit of Dinopolis clearly paved the way for sequels, and Dino P.D. is what we have on our desks right now. Dinosaurs and police is not a combo that often comes to mind, but that's the core reason why this online slot works.

Throw in the free spins, Dino coins, and symbol collection mechanic, and you have a recipe for an exciting slot experience. Our Dino P.D. slot review explains all.

Theme and Graphics

Dino P.D. is a dinosaur-themed online slot that looks set to cause a stir if recent dino-inspired slots from Push Gaming are anything to go by. The slot grid is randomly placed in the car park of the Dino police department. I don’t know about you, but I would have loved the reels to sit inside the rocky workplace just to see how these dino cops go about their daily business.

Still, visually, you can’t complain about this slot. The cartoon graphics that, yes, do give off a certain Flintstones vibe at times help to make the experience all the more enjoyable. All the symbols are crafted to lift the gameplay as well.

The soundtrack is, well, how can we put it, a disco/police siren mix. It’s one you need to listen to for yourself. Know there is a mute button in the game if those sirens get too much, though.

“Everything about the Dino P.D. slot design is a bit mixed up, from the theme to the soundtrack. That’s not a negative, though, as it’s actually all quite charming.”

Dino P.D. Slot RTP and Variance

Dino P.D. has an RTP of 96.38%, although this can be different across all casinos. We continue to add to our collection of online slots, and this release sits above the RTP average. The medium to high volatility will appeal to the wider slot game community. Lastly, the maximum payout stacks up to 10,000x the bet.

How to Win

Push Gaming's Dino P.D. casino slot is played on a 5x4 panel with 20 paylines. These paylines are fixed, which is all pretty standard, but the Push team has managed to throw in a lot more symbols than your typical online slot.

The most rewarding symbol in the Dino P.D. slot is the Wild. Expect a whole-hearted payout at 250x the bet prize if you land five of them on a payline.

The other doughnut symbols (the go-to snack for police, no matter if they are human or dinosaurs), police accessories, and characters make up the rest of the symbol lineup.

• The betting limits for the Dino P.D. slot are between £0.10 and £100 per spin.

Free Spins and Bonuses

In the Dino P.D. slot, the Push Gaming team selected a handy mix of features that blend to create the type of gameplay expected from the Dino series. Free spins and collect symbols are the biggest weapons at your disposal, but you can also expect multipliers that ramp up to 1000x.

Free Spins

Dino P.D. delivers on the free spins bonus promise. A total of 8-10 free spins and a set number of dino coins are awarded when you land a scatter symbol on reels one and three, as well as a gamble scatter on reel five. Once the gamble scatter lands, it will spin into one of either the Bronze, Silver, or Gold modes:

• Bronze Free Spins provides 8-10 free spins and zero or one of the low-pay symbols turning into Dino Coins.
   
• Silver Free Spins provides 8-10 free spins and 2-3 low-pay symbols turning into Dino Coins.
   
• Gold Free Spins provides 8-10 free spins and four low-pay symbols turning into Dino Coins.

"The gamble feature in the Dino P.D. slot is triggered when the player does land the Gold Free Spins bonus. If you play, you can either upgrade to gold or lose all your bonus spins."

Dino Coin Symbols

Bet multipliers that are displayed on the Dino Coins can appear in any location during either the standard Dino P.D. slot game or the free spins bonus round. These are then given out if there are at least 5 Dino Coins in plain sight. Dino Coins can have values that range from 1x and 2x through several values up to the top 1,000x multiplier.

Coin Collector

During the free spins bonus round in the Dino P.D. slot, Push Gaming decided to place a meter located next to the reels, which gathers up any Coin Collector symbols that appear.

“To clear things up, when it comes to calculating wins, Coin Collector symbols do exactly the same actions as Dino Coins. Yes, it's a copy feature, but it all helps to reap those slot rewards.”

Once you have collected four, the low-pay symbol that matches that symbol on the reels will be changed into a Coin. Further free spins and upgrades to the multiplier will then take place whenever a low symbol is converted into a higher symbol.

• Only wins involving the Dino Coin symbol are eligible for the multiplier.

Dino P.D. Review – Our Verdict

Dino P.D. is the type of slot game that catches you unaware. Dinosaur police, some pretty basic bonus features, and a mere 10,000x the bet top prize don't exactly scream out, "come play me." Okay, perhaps the dinosaur police bit. But you know what? Once you give it a go, you'll be one of the Dino P.D. slot team in no time at all.

Dino P.D. is on Patrol

Let's get the obvious details that let the slot down out of the way first. The 10,000x top prize from Push Gaming is not on par with Dinopolis, where the T-Rex-powered 50,000x payout was the deal breaker. The medium to high volatility helps to explain this a little, though, hinting at a slot designed to throw out slightly smaller but more frequent prizes than a full-on high volatility title.

Beyond that slight downside, we have a blend of features that work together seamlessly. The Dino Coins and symbol collector features keep things ticking over with multipliers and more higher-paying symbols across the reels.

Is Dino P.D. Worth A Spin?

Everything about the Dino P.D. slot game (bar the maximum payout) has been designed to entice you in for a closer look. The theme, with its dino and cars combo, keeps you guessing even when you come out of the game, and the mix of features means you should be able to find frequent payouts with a little luck.

While it may not be for every Slots Temple member, we do feel it’s worth checking out our demo slot and seeing what the dino cops are all about for yourself.
