Neanderthals - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Neanderthals is an online slot developed and produced by game maker KA Gaming.

It is played on a 6x4 reel set, which generates 4096 bet ways which pay left to right. There is a scatter symbol that pays as a multiple of the total bet, and when three or more appear in the base game, free spins are won. This feature can re-trigger.

The wild symbol substitutes for all others apart from the scatter, and when it appears in free spins, a multiplier is applied to any win when it helps to form the line.

A bonus symbol triggers the bonus feature when a minimum of three appear in the base game. Players get to choose from identical images to land a cash prize.

There are 11 paying symbols in addition to the scatter, including a family and animals, as well as characteristic images from the era of the title.

If you are a fan of this designer’s, work you will find many more KA Gaming free play slots to enjoy in demo mode here at Slots Temple. These include KA Gaming's Nine Lucks slot, which is a much simpler game with just 9 pay lines produced from a 3-reel layout.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

We are in the company of a Neanderthal family recognised as the closest relatives to today’s human beings. They lived across a huge area stretching from Asia to Europe and were famed for their skills in hunting Ice Age animals.

The symbols are cartoon style and well-crafted to reflect the era, and the reel set is framed by a jungle vine. In the background, we glimpse mountains in a wilderness.

The soundtrack does little to add to the atmosphere of the game.

Neanderthals Bonus Features and Free Spins 

During the base game, 3, 4, 5 or 6 bonus symbols appearing from the first reel, without a wild substituting, will trigger the bonus game. A number of eggs will appear, and when you choose one, a cash prize will be awarded. The larger the wager, the bigger the prize possibilities.

Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 8, 15, 20 or 50 free games respectively. This feature can be re-triggered with the same rewards, but during free games, just 2 scatter symbols will reward the player with 5 free games. Wilds carry a x2 or x3 multiplier in this phase.

Neanderthals Review 

This is a fun, well-designed game with a few more features than we would expect from this designer.

The free games re-trigger with just 2 scatters ,and multipliers can be won during free games via the wild.

The downside is that the RTP is a little mean, and there is no gamble feature. The good news is that the bet spread is nice and wide, and the medium variance does not impact too much.
