Six Mammoths landing together paid 40 times the stake on spin 26, and that single hit outpaid every one of the four Free Spins Wheel rounds I drew at 120 credits a spin. Blazing Mammoth still handed back only 58.4% of what went in, against the 96.24% on its label.
Blazing Mammoth is a slot by PearFiction, available from 0.20 to 120 credits. This session was played at the top stake of 120 per spin, starting from a balance of 100,000.00. It is a 5-reel, 20-payline slot. The grid has 3 rows, the 20 lines are fixed, and wins pay left to right starting from the first reel. It contains a Free Spins Game and Instant Mammoth Jackpots. Over 320 spins, 117 paid something, and the longest run without a win lasted 11 spins.
Symbols comprise Sabre-tooth Tiger, Bear, Rhino and Wolf symbols, together with high-value symbols in the shape of Single 7, Double 7 and Triple 7, the latter of which is the top-paying 7 and gives a 37.5x win for 5 on a payline. Of the other 7s, Double 7 gives 20x and Single 7 gives 7.5x for 5 on a payline. The wild is depicted by a gold W symbol. It pays 125x for 5 on a payline and substitutes for all regular symbols, but not for the Free Spins or Mammoth symbols. The Free Spins symbol activates the free spins. It triggered 4 times in this session, first on spin 13. The Mammoth is the jackpot symbol, and the max win is 2,000x. Mammoth Gold Megaways from Pragmatic Play is another slot built around a mammoth theme.
An Instant Mammoth Jackpot is granted by hitting 3 or more Mammoth symbols anywhere. The Mammoth pays anywhere on the reels, so it does not need to sit on a payline.
3, 4, and 5 Mammoth symbols anywhere will grant 1x, 5x, and 15x bet respectively, and this mechanic is really more appealing than the free spins game. The one big jackpot in this session came on spin 26, when 6 Mammoths paid 4,800.00 at the 120 stake. It contains a 6 (40x), 7 (100x), 8 (500x), and a 9 (2,000x) jackpot. That spin took the balance to 103,240.00, the highest point of the whole session.
A reward will be granted as below for 3 or more Mammoth symbols:
Hitting 3 Free Spins symbols will turn the Free Spins Wheel. Three of the 4 wheel spins in this session landed on 30 free spins, and the other gave 10. It grants 10 to 30 Free Spins and a x2 or x3 multiplier on all wins except Mammoth jackpots, and during Free Spins, Free Spins symbols remain on the reels. The biggest of the 4 rounds came on spin 178, when 30 free spins at x2 paid 2,520.00, or 21x the stake. That's roughly it as far as the free spins go. The smallest was the round on spin 150, where 30 free spins at x3 paid 624.00, or 5.2x the stake. The Free Spins mechanic can be reactivated by hitting 3 Free Spins symbols once more. A retrigger awards the same number of free spins as the wheel first gave, though none of the 4 rounds in this session retriggered. The Instant Mammoth Jackpots can be won here as well. PearFiction also made Squealin Riches 2 and Treasures of Kilauea.
Blazing Mammoth is a stingy game, let's simply put that out in the open immediately, and it has an RTP of 96.24% and a max win of 2,000x. Across 320 spins at 120, the session wagered 38,400.00 and won back 22,440.00, a return of 58.4%. That can be reached by hitting 9 Mammoth symbols. No more than 6 Mammoths landed in this session, and the balance ended at 84,040.00, its lowest point. The free spins game lacks originality, and certainly, there is a 2,000x jackpot, but good luck landing all nine. The 4 Free Spins Games paid 4,920.00 between them, 22% of everything won.
The Minty Summary: Considering its lousy potential, the free spins were unexpectedly simple to activate, and the Instant Mammoth Jackpot activated but never paid more than a staggering 40x.
