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

Introduction

Spinosaurus is a good-looking five-reel, 20-payline slot that packs a punch thanks to its excellent feature set.

You can play Spinosaurus across all your devices from as little as 0.2 credits per spin. From pterodactyl random wilds to symbol upgrades, Spinosaurus is action-packed. These features can trigger during the free spins for huge potential.

The conception and execution of this slot are well thought through, with the four major symbols replacing the four minor symbols during the upgrade feature.

In addition, you will find an egg-shaped pterodactyl wild that does substitution duty for all symbols except the exploding volcano scatter.

Everything quickly becomes clear, although free play spins are always a smart choice when you are getting to grips with a new game.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Dinosaurs have become an obsession, so it is perhaps surprising that not more slots take on this prehistoric theme.

This free Booming Games slots makes a great job of capturing the Jurassic Park vibe with its soaring cinematic soundtrack and stunning graphics.

The only symbols on the reels are dinosaur related, with fossilised footprints linked to individual dinosaurs - the velociraptor, T-Rex, triceratops and - of course - spinosaurus.

Apart from having a perfect name for a slots game, the spinosaurus was the first swimming dinosaur. At 18 metres, it was also the longest meat eater and probably feasted on other dinosaurs.

The symbols are drawn with great accuracy and are animated with pizzazz; for example, the screen appears to shake when one of them stomps past the reels and upgrades the symbols.

The beautifully realised background features a volcano ready to blow, with the eruption when you land three scatters well worth the wait!

RTP & volatility

This is a low volatility slot, making it ideal for casual gamers who enjoy big potential without huge risks. The RTP is 95.48 per cent, which is around the industry standard.

Bonus features

Spinosaurus features two reel modifiers and one bonus feature, which are all perfectly integrated into the theme and the gameplay:

Pterodactyl wild

This egg-shaped symbol replaces all other symbols in the game except the volcano scatter. Land five of a kind to earn a one-off payout of 125x your stake. The pterodactyl will fly across the reels at random and drop additional wilds. Between 0 and 15 additional symbols can be added to the reels.

Symbol upgrade

Each minor symbol is the footprint of a major symbol.

The symbol upgrade feature will transform up to 10 minor symbols when the matching dinosaur walks past the reels.

Wins are re-evaluated after the symbols transform.

Free spins

Land three volcano scatters and the mountain will erupt! This triggers the free spins feature.

You will be awarded a different random number for each scatter, resulting in between 8 and 12 free spins. One or two scatter symbols landing in a spin result will act as wild symbols. Three scatter symbols will retrigger the free spins feature and award a new random number of spins.

Max-win 2,500x

Volatility High

Top RTP 95.48%

Overall review: our verdict

Spinosaurus certainly looks and sounds the part and we really like the way the bonus features integrate seamlessly with the theme. The visuals are superb, with some great animations when the dinosaurs stalk the earth!

This slot is rated low volatility but tends towards medium, as the features are quite tough to land; however, there is plenty to enjoy here, which gives Spinosaurus excellent replayability.

If you crave higher volatility and bigger potential wins, try the Primal Megaways demo slot from Blueprint Gaming with its maximum win of 50,000x.
