Mr Driller RTP (Payout) & Volatility

Mr Driller, from Ainsworth, has an RTP (return to player) or payout ratio of 96.8%. This ratio is the percentage of cash that on average you can win back from your entire bet. Imagine you bet 100 on this game: you could expect to gain back 96.8. You would of course realise that this is just an average payout, and you may win more or less than this figure.

There is no information released about the volatility of Mr Driller. From playing the game we’d expect it might be a medium-volatility game. Players can win substantial returns fairly frequently. This is unlike low-variance games, where you look for regular small wins, or high volatility with bigger but less regular returns. This is just our view, however.

Mr Driller Slot Graphics & Theme

The anime arcade game that spawned the Mr Driller slot game is of course about a driller! That game was all about drilling through blocks, in a cityscape, as the blocks increased in number. It should be no surprise to you therefore that that this Ainsworth slot game follows the same theme, and the City in this case is Tokyo, which is true to its origins.

The reels look and feel very like anime with a slightly more modern twist. The figures are dynamic and fun in a world of predominantly pink and blue. You’ll see Mr Driller himself, together with a plethora of symbols like clocks, air tanks, jewels and even his and your canine friend, Puchi the dog!

The game has 50 paylines across five reels and three rows, and your objective is to help Mr Driller to collect items (the Symbols) which have been buried deep down. You will try to collect as many Wilds as possible, with a large number of them satisfyingly stacked for bigger wins, and all the time trying to work with the older brother of Mr Digger, Ataru, as you go. You will also want to keep playing and spinning the slots as Dig Dug’s son tunnels his way through the increasingly more rewarding Bonuses.

 How to Play Mr Driller Slots

Mr Driller is a five-reel, three-row game and gives you a promising 50 Betways. You need to get three or more of the same Symbols (or combination of Wilds) in one or more paylines and win the Bonuses. The Stacked Wilds are a great feature and you’ll probably enjoy seeing them appear across the reels. If you see a vertical line of three Wilds in any reel, then you have struck lucky! These will turn the symbol into a Stacked Wild, which could win you a bigger amount.

If you look at the game you will, we think, notice first the Jackpot amounts you could win laid out across the top of the game. The amounts are in bright yellow numbers. More on how to win these a bit further on. We’re sure you want us to tell you!

Most of the active symbols and information are in the bar at the bottom of the screen. In the bottom right-hand corner you have your big play button. This will spin the reels as you press it at a speed of your choosing. Next to this button is a smaller one which you can set up to Autoplay your spins up to 100. To stop this, simply press the button again. It’s up to you how to set the limits in terms of either spins or losses, so you will always remain in control of your spend, but it will make your play easier.

You will see plus or minus buttons where you can alter your bet, which can be between 2 and 10. There is a gambling chip to the left of this that enables the braver among you to go straight for the maximum bet of 10!

How to Win at Mr Driller Slot

To win with the Mr Driller game, you need three or more matched symbols (or combinations with Wilds) across one or several paylines. The winning lines will be highlighted. The status of the symbols or Wilds will determine how much you win.

We’ve already talked about the Wilds and how they are stacked and how they can combine for even bigger wins.

You will also find Scatter symbols, which are really important. Mr Driller is the Scatter symbol, so it must be a big deal! You will see these only on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels. What is really exciting is that if you can gather all three you will start one of three Bonus Games or collect a mystery credit amount. It is in these Bonus rounds that you might even manage to win one of those big Jackpots you see at the top of the screen!

Please note that there is something even more special in this game. In many games only the highest payline wins in a combination. With Mr Driller every payline will pay out in any valid combination. What more could any player ask for?

Mr Driller Bonus Features & Free Spins

We said there were three Bonus games and a mystery cash prize, so here’s the breakdown.

Robo Multiplier

A 3x Scatter award could give you the Robo Multiplier Feature. If you should win this, the multiplier will amend your original payline win. Obviously, bet more for bigger wins.

Break the Block

A 3x Scatter award could win you Break the Block. This will present you with a different screen. This play will have three stages. Finally you will need to choose one block. After this, various amounts will be added to your win by Mr Driller.

Extra Chance

This is where the Roulette Wheel will appear. You get to select one spin and you could win a credit or even one of the amazing Jackpots - these being Maxi, Major, Minor.

Mystery Prize

This is something that can present itself at any point during the game. If you see it, you will find yourself a happy recipient of one of the Bonuses! One to look out for.

Mr Driller Review & Rating

Mr Driller is a fun, retro but modern fast-paced slot with interesting graphics. You may or may not have had experience with the original arcade game, but that won’t matter. This game stands by itself. It’s a much better transition than many other games have made to the slots arena.

We like that all paylines pay out for all winning combinations.

The stacked Wilds are visually exciting, the Bonus Features are varied and interesting and the Jackpots are motivating. Only the soundtrack perhaps needs to be a bit less annoying. We played it with the sound off. It didn’t lessen our enjoyment of the game.

We think you’ll probably want to try it.
