Genesis Island - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Genesis Gaming free demo slots feature at online casinos in regulated jurisdictions all over the world. The company has over ten years’ experience in the industry and releases new games frequently. This is one of several to have appeared in 2021 and taps into the renewed popularity of the King Kong theme engendered by the Peter Jackson film, which has already been used to good effect in NextGen’s King Kong Fury slot. Before you decide whether to play a slot for real money, it Is always worth getting a feel for the gameplay and returns by playing a game in its free slots format here at Slots Temple.

Genesis Island has a conventional five-reel, three-column grid and 20 fixed paylines. The minimum bet level is 25.00 and the maximum is 10,000. There are eight regular symbols: the giant gorilla, Tyrannosaurus rex, giant crab, and the highest five playing cards. The wild is an erupting volcano and the scatter is a free spins symbol.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

We have to say that this slot looks terrific. The welcome screen is powerful enough; however, when you ‘tap anywhere to ignite’, you are led through the thick jungle forestation into a vast valley with a giant volcano beyond belching ominous black smoke whilst giant bird-like creatures - possibly pterodactyls - circle overhead in the glowering sky.

The reels are filled with some extremely fierce-looking creatures. While the roars of the gorilla and the T-rex are impressive, it is the giant crab’s savage pincer movements that are most disturbing. The soundtrack is dark and doomy tribal drums. 

Genesis Island RTP and variance

Both the RTP and the variance or volatility of the game are unknown.

Genesis Island bonus features

Mega reel

Reels combine to create a two-reel or three-reel mega reel. All high-paying symbols and wilds become 2x2 and 3x3 mega symbols according to the mega reel size. The mega reel appears at random in the base game. In the bonus round, they appear on every free spin.

Primal wilds

These are awarded at random in the base game and in bonus rounds. One or two reels will become full wilds. You can hit primal wilds and mega reel in the same spin. 

Evolution mega spins

If you land a full 3x3 scatter in a three-reel mega reel, you will activate a free spins round in which you are given ten free spins. Each spin awards a new mega reel. A full 3x3 scatter within the round will retrigger ten more free spins.

Genesis Island review: our verdict

This turns out to be a fairly simple game with no gamble feature or proper bonus game. It just has multipliers and free spins; however, it doesn’t feel under-developed, just focussed. It would be nice to know what kind of win rate you can expect, but it is a game to hold your interest even without this information. What’s more, it has a sneaky little lizard scampering across the screen!
