Money Moose - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Booming Games is based in Malta but also has offices in Berlin. It has a good reputation in the industry for quality and experimentation and Booming Games slots are widely available in the online casino world. It’s always worth trying out demo slots before risking real cash, and Booming Games have made sure there is plenty of access for people testing the water. 

Money Moose is a game along similar lines to Kalamba’s popular Blazing Bull 2 slot which was of course a sequel to the successful original. It does make a change to be on safari in somewhere like the Great North Woods instead of the Serengeti.

Money Moose has a 5-reel, 4-column grid with 30 fixed pay lines. The minimum bet size is 0.30 and the maximum is 27. There are 13 regular symbols: the high paying ones are a moose and a golden moose, a bear and a golden bear, a wolf and a golden wolf, a boar and a golden boar. The lower paying symbols are the top 5 playing cards. Other symbols are the wild (a wide landscape), the scatter (a moose against the sunrise) and the collector (a hunter).

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

The introductory screen shows a broad river, dense pine forests, tall, snowy mountains and a dramatic sky. This then becomes the backdrop for the game. It would have been nice to have a little animation in the background to bring it to life. The same goes for the images on the reels, which remain just fixed, still illustrations. Meanwhile the soundtrack is full of urgent guitar, more suitable for chase than a grand day out in the wild. Not a terribly impressive experience in terms of graphics.

Money Moose RTP and Variance

According to Booming Games, Money Moose’s RTP is 95.07% and its volatility is high. 

How to Play Money Moose

Before you start the game, take a moment to familiarise yourself with the game set-up, controls and functions with our simple guide:

1. The game is played with 30 permanent paylines.
2. Set your chosen bet using the plus and minus signs at the bottom left. You can also do this by clicking on the coins icon to show the different choices of bet available. If you click the plus sign next to the spin button one of the options is to go straight to the maximum bet.
3. On the plus menu next to the spin button you can also select fast play, turn off the music, adjust the volume level and select 50 automatic spins by default. Once you are in auto spin mode you can cancel it by pressing the spin button.
4. In the 3-line menu if you select the A you enter the autoplay settings menu. Here you can choose your preferred number of autospins from 10 to 1000 or unlimited. You can also set it to exit the mode on any win and if you trigger a bonus feature. Further settings available are to stop auto play if a single win exceeds a set figure or if your balance decreases or increases by an amount you specify.
5. The balance counter at the bottom right displays your current balance which is updated after each spin. Winnings are displayed to the left.
6. You can click the spin button to start playing or press the space bar. You can stop the reels by pressing the spin button again.
7. All winning combinations pay from left to right only. Coinciding wins on different paylines are added. Only the highest win on each payline will pay out.
8. The wild substitutes for all symbols except scatters, coins and collectors.
9. We are fully committed to responsible gaming and we urge you to play accordingly. If you are playing for money your stake is at risk so please make sure you do not wager more than you can afford to lose. If the game stops being fun you should quit.

Money Moose Review: Our Verdict

Dull graphics, underwhelming extras and low RTP combine to disappoint. If it performed better in just one of these areas it would be worth a look, but as it is our advice is to put this one low on your list.
