Playtech created the online slot game called Absolutely Mammoth. It features a layout of 5 reels and 4 rows, offering players 1,024 ways to win. Absolutely Mammoth boasts a 96.49 percent Return to Player (RTP) rate and falls under the category of high volatility slots. Players can start with a minimum bet of 20 credits, and for those wanting to bet higher, the maximum limit extends up to 500 credits, increasing the opportunities for players to achieve the game's maximum payout of 10,000 times their initial bet—all they need is a stroke of luck.
The game features standard lower-value symbols represented by A to 9 royals, alongside a range of prehistoric creatures such as birds, bears, and a sabre-tooth tiger. Additionally, there's a cavewoman sporting painted facial markings. Unsurprisingly, the most valuable symbol is the woolly mammoth; landing 5 of these symbols in a combination rewards players with 7.5 times their total wager. The paw print acts as the wild symbol, appearing exclusively on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes for all standard symbols when forming a winning combination and can also carry multipliers during free spins, a feature I'll explain in detail shortly. Lastly, the volcano symbol serves as the game's scatter. Landing 3 or more volcanoes on a single spin triggers the bonus round.
The Mammoth Stampede feature can activate randomly during any base game spin. In this exciting event, a group of mammoths will stampede across the screen, leaving a trail of wild symbols in their wake. The number of extra wilds generated can vary, ranging from just one to a maximum of 16 wilds. This has the potential to create numerous rewarding new combinations, enhancing the gameplay significantly.
The main highlight is the Free Games feature, triggered conventionally by landing 3, 4, or 5 volcano scatter symbols on the same spin. Initially, players receive a prize equal to 1, 5, or 10 times their total bet, based on the number of volcanoes that triggered the feature. Subsequently, players are awarded 8 free spins.
