Blazing Mammoth
Microgaming’s studios are a close-knit group, often collaborating on concepts, themes, features and math models. This was particularly evident in Canadian game designer Pear Fiction Studios’ Blazing Mammoth slot – but if one takes the time to dig deeper they will find that its math model is still quite similar to what came before it, with only one minor difference.
Every time you win with a scatter symbol, get ready for an electrifying show as mammoths stampede across your screen! As the soundscape takes over and immerses you in this icy kingdom, each spin will hold your attention – wild beasts are waiting around every corner. Everywhere you turn brings exciting surprises on this snow-covered terrain.
Blazing Mammoth slot Features
The unmistakable golden ‘W’ symbol of Wilds is hard to miss, and these symbols efficiently replace any regular pay symbols in order to create winning combinations. When you land 5 wilds on a single payline, your stake will be rewarded with 125 times more! Even though such pure wins are not often seen, this game mainly depends on scatter wins.
The Instant Mammoth Jackpot ladder can be found at the left-hand side – when 3 up to 9 mammoth scatters appear anywhere within view, an instant prize corresponding to the given rung from the ladder shall follow shortly after! If you’re lucky enough to land 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8 or 9 scatters on reels 2-4 in the base game and in the Free Spins Round respectively then you can pocket 1x your stake up to an astounding 2000x.
For a chance to win big, all you need is three scatter symbols to appear and activate the Bonus Round – then spin the Free Spins Wheel for your free spins (ranging from 10-30) along with an incredible 2x or 3x multiplier! All bonus round wins are magnified by your chosen multiplier yet not applicable for Instant Mammoth Jackpots. The feature can be retriggered granting an additional same amount of free spins that were originally awarded on the wheel!
Review Summary
Pear Fiction is certainly not the only game developer who has ridden on the success of 9 Masks of Fire, but at least they have made an effort to make Blazing Mammoth a superior clone. Although it follows much of its predecessor’s math model (with twice the max bet and low volatility), Pear Fiction did put in extra work to give this prehistoric-themed game an entertaining audiovisual presentation.
The “mammoth stampede” celebratory sound with every scatter win is sure to invigorate your experience, and the generous hit frequency along with low volatility makes it easy for you to stay on course. The bonus round might not bring about great payouts – typically speaking – but knowing that a 2,000x jackpot can happen at any moment keeps up the electricity throughout each session!
