Mammoth Gold Megaways

The Mammoth Gold Megaways slot game online by Pragmatic Play takes us back to a time when our world was covered in ice and woolly mammoths and other prehistoric creatures still roamed the earth. 

They also populated the reels of the 6-reel grid, with between 2 and 7 symbols landing on each per spin. There is also a four-position horizontal reel above the main grid, and this setup can create up to 117,649 ways to win. 

The premium dodo, bear, warthog, wolf, sabre tooth tiger, and mammoth symbols are joined by the four card suits as the low pays. Land six-of-a-kind of these left to right from the first reel onwards over adjacent reels awards a payout of between 0.5 to 0.6 times the bet. For the premiums, the maximum payouts are 0.75 to 5 times the bet. 

Players also potentially benefit from Cascading Reels, something that has become a standard feature on Pragmatic Play’s Megaways slots. This will remove all symbols involved in a win from the reels, and add new ones, hopefully leading to a new winning combo being formed. If this happens, the process repeats. Some of Pragmatic Play's other Megaways games are Spin And Score Megaways, Extra Juicy Megaways and Chilli Heat Megaways, all available to play at PartyCasino.

The rumbling volcano symbol is the Wild. This will stand in for all regular pay symbols to help form wins but can only land on the top horizontal reel. The Wild can also boost the potential wins in other ways, especially in the Free Spins round, as explained below.  

The Scatter is a lump of crystal. This can land anywhere on the grid, and three or more in view will trigger the Free Spins round.  

The Wild symbol doesn’t just help form line wins when it lands. It also comes with a random multiplier of x2 or x3, which is applied to any wins it helps form. This is then collected in the metre at the top of the grid. If more Wilds land and help create wins during the subsequent Cascade, the metre value is multiplied by their values before being applied to the win. During the base game, the metre resets at the end of each Cascade sequence.  

Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols award a random number of Free Spins between 5-14, 6-14, 7-14, or 8-14 free spins, respectively. Players who win less than 14 spins can gamble them to increase the number. They spin a wheel, and if it lands on green, the number of spins is increased (up to 14). But if the wheel stops on red, they lose the lot.  

During this round, the Wild multiplier works just like in the base game, except the metre does not reset between spins. In addition, every winning Cascade also increases the multiplier by + 1. And the multiplier is applied to all wins, not just those involving a Wild. During the Free spins, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters landing add 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 spins to the remaining total.  

Mammoth Gold Megaways doesn't overdo it with the special features and bonuses. But the simple gameplay is part of the attraction. And once the base game Wild multiplier or the Free Spins kick in, the excitement levels rise along with the value in the metre. But this is a high-volatility game, so it can take a while for the volcano to start heating things up, which is why you should always set a loss limit before playing. Good Luck!
