Caveman Bob is an intriguing game where every spin intertwines elements of chance and tactical decision-making, setting the stage for either a significant win or a reset to the beginning, ensuring that each round is uniquely exciting.
Developed by Relax Gaming, Caveman Bob features a standard five-reel, three-row layout, complete with 20 paylines. The game’s reels are adorned with gem-like card suit symbols intricately encased in carved stone. Adding a touch of prehistoric flair, the game's higher value symbols include a lively array of cartoon-style characters such as Pterodactyl birds, wolves, giant rhinoceroses, mammoths, and the protagonist, Bob himself. Bob is particularly lucrative, offering a payout of 25 times the player's stake if five align on a payline. Similarly, the wild symbol, which can appear as single or stacked, matches the value of Bob, the top symbol.
The "Hand of Bob" feature activates when the least valuable symbol present on the reels is transformed into a symbol of higher value. This transformation continues until it results in a win that surpasses the initial win, with potential for further continuation. Another notable feature is the "Mammoth Respin." Triggered by certain game conditions, this feature rewards players with a respin. During the respin, many of the mammoth symbols will be colossal, available in sizes up to 4x4, which can cover much of the reel set. The size of these colossal symbols depends on Bob’s current location: the Oasis features 2x2 symbols, the Cave offers both 2x2 and 3x3, while the Mountain location provides the full range of colossal sizes.
The Oasis, depicted as the most serene of environments, is where Bob engages in fishing. Should he successfully catch fish, one of the game’s communal features might kick in. One such random feature includes Fire Embers that transform into Spreading Wilds, potentially clustering up to 13 wild symbols on the reels. As the least volatile environment, the Oasis tends to deliver more frequent winning combinations, albeit with generally smaller payouts. This setup ensures that while wins are more common, they are also less substantial in value.
