Primal Megaways Slot – Free Demo

Six Reels of Ice Age Beasts from Blueprint

I'd sooner assess something novel and original. Primal Megaways comes from Blueprint Gaming. But I'll have to settle for this, so here I begin. I played 430 spins at 1.00 a spin and finished on 1,916.80 from a starting balance of 1,000.00, a session return of 313.2%.

Primal Megaways features a Megaways configuration of 6-reels, 2 to 6 symbols per reel and up to 46,656 ways, and it is accessible on all platforms from €0.20 to €10. Wins pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel, and most symbols need 3 or more to pay.

Mammoths, Paw Prints and the Fire Symbol

Symbols on the reels comprise high-paying creatures. They are the Woolly Mammoth, Sabretooth Tiger, Rhino, Elk and Warthog, with the card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A at the low end. The Woolly Mammoth is the most valuable, paying 50x for 6 of a kind, and the game also ships with a Paw Print wild symbol. It falls on reels 2 to 6 and substitutes for everything but the scatter. The Fire symbol is a Mystery symbol that transforms into a random matching symbol other than the Wild or the Scatter, after which wins are evaluated again, in the base game and in free spins alike.

Scatter Counts and Stacking Wild Multipliers

Hitting 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols anywhere grants 10, 15, 20 or 30 free spins. My first trigger came on spin 53 and gave 15 free spins that paid 39.00, and the second, on spin 230, gave 10 free spins that paid 13.00. Additionally, wild multipliers on reels 2 to 6 multiply together in a win. The Scatter count also sets their range, from x2 and x3 with 3 Scatters up to x2 to x6 with 6, and the combined value can reach x7,776. 2 scatter symbols dropping on the reels grant 10 additional free spins, and if 6 scatter symbols drop, another 30 free spins are given. If the feature ends with a total win below 10x the bet, the Free Spins Guarantee retriggers it automatically until at least 10x the bet is won.

Where the 50,000x Cap Actually Sits

Primal Megaways has a 50,000x max win potential. But that needs wild multipliers in the bonus. Feasible certainly, but given this being a high volatility slot, I settled for far less than that, and I became thoroughly bored playing this. It was not strictly because of the weak paytable but because the game feels sluggish and tired, and the free spins take ages to complete, and despite the extra wild multipliers in the bonus the game lacks thrill.

Minty’s Expert Conclusion: My two biggest wins, 757.00 on spin 166 and 402.00 on spin 364, both came in the base game, and the two bonuses paid 52.00 between them, 4% of the 1,346.80 I won. With that stated, it does possess some respectable promise. That is owing to the big quantity of free spins that can be triggered.
