Raptor Doublemax

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that dinosaurs are still among the most exciting mysteries on planet earth. We can never get enough of dinosaurs, and now we’re getting even more coupled with cash winning opportunities thanks to the latest of Yggdrasil’s online slot machines, Raptor Doublemax. Does it get much better than that? It may just, as we’re also talking free spins, multipliers and cascading reels. Let’s tone it down a bit because while it all looks rap-tastic on the outside, we still need to see if all this added value can deliver sizeable wins. Let’s venture into the these reels and see what thrills lie in wait.

There are a few things that might stick out when checking out the look and feel of Raptor Doublemax, the first being a similarity to Jurassic Park. Microgaming might not be too impressed, seeing as they’ve just released Jurassic Park Remastered, but let’s not worry too much about all that. As expected, there’s a selection of massive reptiles present, while as it’s a slot that Yggdrasil developed, it’s no surprise that the graphics are top-notch. Speaking of Yggdrasil, their online casino games usually possess an innovation of their own, but here they’re making use of cascading reels that loads of casino software studios are using today. Just a reminder, this reel mechanic can see multiple consecutive wins happen due to the win reactions.

Players will have a wagering window that should see most of us satisfied. The players making use of smaller wagers to pick up smaller but consistent wins will see the wagering limit start at 20p, while high rollers can push their bets as high as £60 for some t-rex sized thrills. Regardless of what you’re wagering, the most you’ll be able to win is 20,000x your wager, which means that it’s all quite friendly to those looking to get as much bang for their buck as possible. As with all Yggdrasil’s casino games, you’ll be able to play Raptor Doublemax on mobile devices using iOS and Android.

The best online slot games don’t need to do anything extreme, like trying to revolutionise the symbols system. Raptor Doublemax definitely isn’t doing this but instead keeping things very simple and traditional. There are only eight regular icons, with the four acting as lower value ones being playing card royals J, Q, K and A. The medium value symbols are dinosaurs, consisting of parasaurolophus, velociraptor, triceratops and tyrannosaurus rex.

The special symbols are also quite standard and not unique. The first is the wild, which acts as an icon in order to assist in making 3, 4 or 5 of a kind winning combinations. The only symbol the wild can’t substitute is the Free Spins symbol, which is the dinosaur egg.

The free spins symbol is needed to do just what it suggests – trigger free spins. You’ll need to land three or more of these icons on the same spin to determine the number of free spins awarded:

• Three free spins symbols – 8 free spins
• Four free spins symbols – 12 free spins
• Five free spins symbols – 16 free spins

Every player will start the free spins with a 1xmultiplier, but each win adds another 1x multiplier, and there is no reset. This means that if you get awarded 16 free spins, the end multiplier could be bigger than a diplodocus. There is the option to gamble the number of spins you receive to double the number, but losing the gamble results in no spins.

In the base game, you’ll be able to double your win with each consecutive win reaction. This is something you don’t usually see in slots online using this mechanic.

Playing Raptor Doublemax is good fun, and thanks to the cascading reels, free spins and multipliers, there really is plenty of winning chances for players of all budgets. The only criticism we’d give Yggdrasil is that they were late to the party in terms of the theme, but as always, they always know how to create a brilliant game.
