Jurassic Park


Jurassic Park first hit the silver screen in 1993, sending shockwaves worthy of a rampage of charging dinosaurs throughout the film industry. The animation techniques that it showcased were so unprecedented at the time that not only did it triumphantly swipe a plethora of awards, it also set the bar for a fierce new standard in film-making. Anyone who grew up in the '90s will remember the realistic visuals and heart-pounding special effects of a tear of dinosaurs on the loose, something that gave the Jurassic Park franchise the momentum to become one of the most successful movie trilogies of all time. Quite simply, it transfixed an entire generation.

As a result, when Microgaming announced that they had signed an agreement to produce a video slot of the beloved blockbuster, anticipation hit the gaming community with all the force of a speeding pterodactyl. The pressure was truly on to create a slot that could match up to the visual and technical brilliance of the films, as well as packing a punch when it came to gameplay. However, if there was anyone who could pull it off, then it was Microgaming – they've certainly never shied away from a challenge, and if their explosive Terminator 2™ online slot was anything to go by, we were excited to see what they'd do with Jurassic Park.

Luckily for slots fans everywhere, we reckon that the risk has definitely paid off. With its breath-taking imagery, award-winning sound effects, and high-octane storyline, the Jurassic Park films have always had all the makings to inspire a slot that would take us by storm. The game itself is a cracker, alright – epic, cinematic action is combined with some of the most iconic video clips from the films, all finished off with incredible dinosaur animations that will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

ROARING WINS
Jurassic Park is a 5-reel slot that uses the popular '243-ways-to-win' model. This works by casting off the limiting payline constraints that you might find in more traditional models – instead, all you need to win is for matching symbols to fall on adjacent reels and you're laughing. This becomes even more lucrative if you spin any Jurassic Park symbols, which are Wild.

Pressing 'Spin' will immediately plunge you into the depths of Jurassic Park itself, with the lush, rainforest-like backdrop lending the atmosphere a sense of quiet terror. The gameplay veers between eerily tranquil – where only a shadow or a rustling bush will be enough to send a shiver down your spine and put you on high alert – to a fast-paced storm of adrenaline when the dinosaurs climatically reveal themselves. Visually, Microgaming have pulled out all of the stops to make sure everything well and truly looks the business: all the graphics are 3D-rendered, while the highly-detailed environment is made all the more lifelike with the use of sophisticated Parallax scrolling technology.

The real icing on the cake, however, is the sound. From the high-pitched chittering of the smaller reptiles to the booming roars of their rather bigger companions, everything, even the environment, has been enhanced with authentic audio depth to make it sound as immersive and realistic as possible. Film buffs will also love the selection of classic lines that are sprinkled through the action (our favourite's got to be, “Don't move! They can't see us if we don't move!” Ah, if only it were that simple...).

DINOSAUR DANGER
One of the coolest features is the T-Rex Alert Bonus. This can be randomly triggered at any point during the base game, and is dramatically announced when the entire
screen starts to shake and a T-Rex crashes thunderously across the scenery. Not only does this bonus mode score you additional Wild symbols for the next six spins, but they also stack on all reels, massively increasing your chances of landing a juicy payday. Impressive!

Another thing to keep your eyes peeled for is the Mosquito in Amber symbol, which acts as a scatter. Now, when two or more of these appear on the reels (in any position) you get a winning combination. But wait, there's another cherry on top – when three or more appear on the reels, this activates the Free Spins bonus game, something that acts as a really cool extra layer to the game. In this, you are randomly assigned one of five dinosaur bonus games (Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops or Dilophosaurus). These all have a range of different quirks and advantages, including Split Wilds, Multipliers and tons of other goodies, as well as the perk of the symbol of the dinosaur you picked stacking on all reels. You are then awarded 12 free spins, enjoying the benefits associated with your designated dinosaur. Happily, this is also a game that rewards loyal gamers, and once you've activated the Free Spins bonus game 25 times you earn the right to choose your favourite dinosaur.
