Jurassic World: Raptor Riches slot review (RTP: 96%)

Do you feel like being a daredevil once in a while? If yes then the endless disasters on Isla Nublar might incite your adventurous side. In this Jurassic World: Raptor Riches Slot, Fortune Factory Studios and Microgaming partnered to revive the ancient predators on earth. From the creation of Dr. Wu, Indoraptor will unleash its terrifying power as a walking Wild in this highly volatile slot.

There are also Win Boosters, Re-Spin, and Bonus Spins that we love. Thus, this slot is still fun to play since it has a satisfying hit frequency even though its maximum jackpot could’ve been bigger.

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches slot design

Design-wise, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is a slot with rich design and a huge influence on the original movie. Its theme can take you back to the Jurassic period while the background on the screen depicts the story in the film. Thus, the reels are filled with dinosaurs and characters from the film like the 3 dino tokens, and dinosaur symbols. The characters on the reels include Owen Grady, Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, and Dr. Wu.

There are also Wilds and Scatter symbols on the reels that show the dinosaur eye, Indoraptor, and an erupting volcano. Since this is already the 3rd Jurassic Park slot that Microgaming released after Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, it has high-quality graphics. The soundtrack that blasts in the background throughout the game is also inspired by the action movie.

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches features

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches comes with 4 bonus features and extras in its exotic grid with 5 reels and 3 rows. We all know that the original of Jurassic World is packed with a lot of action so it is not surprising anymore. Microgaming and Fortune Factory Studios did their best to highlight the features in this game which include Wild symbols and Scatter symbols.

Of course, there are also Multipliers, Re-Spins, and Bonus Spins to keep the gameplay exciting. But the most awaited bonus feature that you wouldn’t want to miss is the Jackpot Wheel feature. So, read on to learn more about Jurassic World: Raptor Riches’ features.

Wild Symbols

First things first, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches has the regular Wild symbol which is represented by a dinosaur’s peeking eye with a Wild logo. The thought of seeing a dinosaur looking at you is scary but, in this game, this is an advantage since it means something good. The dinosaur’s eye Wild symbol can land anywhere on the grid and replace other symbols to be more valuable.

If you want to form a new winning combination, this Wild symbol can help you if it appears in the right place. But that’s not all since Jurassic World: Raptor Riches has a second type of Wild symbol. It is called the stacked Indoraptor Wild. This Wild can land on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels to give you satisfying effects and rewards. At the same time, this Indoraptor Wild can benefit from the game’s Nudge mechanic.

This is more like an expanding Wild that has the same function as the regular Wild. Thus, it can also replace the regular symbols on the reels. However, its advantage is that it can trigger the Re-Spins feature as well.

Scatter Symbols

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches also has a Scatter symbol which is the erupting volcano icon. If the Wild symbol can’t land on the 1st reel, this volcano Scatter symbol can land on it. Also, this Scatter symbol can land on the 3rd and 5th reel during the same spin.

Multipliers

Once you started playing Jurassic World: Raptor Riches, one of the first things you have to decide on is this feature. Are you willing to take the Multipliers or Win Boosters which costs 1.5x your stake? In return for this payment or extra investment, the Multipliers you will get in the Re-Spin round will get a bigger value.

Re-Spins

Now that we’re past the Multipliers or Win Boosters, let’s check out this Re-Spin feature which is one of its major features. As we mentioned above, you need the Wild symbols to trigger this feature. Specifically, you need the stacked Indoraptor Wild symbol to get the Re-Spins you want. Once you have your Re-Spin, this Indoraptor Wild symbol moves one position to the left on the reels during this feature.

The Re-Spins will continue until the final stacked Indoraptor Wild has left the reels. This means that the final spin will not contain the Indoraptor Wild symbol. Moreover, the Multiplier increases up to 5x as the stacked Wild moves, and together with the Win Booster, the Re-Spins’ value also increases. The Multiplier increases by 1x on the 4th Re-Spin but its 5x Multiplier doubles on the 5th Re-Spin.

So, these are the boost you can expect from the Inactive and Active Win Boosters:

• 1st Re-Spin = 1x (Inactive), 1x (Active)
• 2nd Re-Spin = 2x (Inactive), 2x (Active)
• 3rd Re-Spin = 3x (Inactive), 3x (Active)
• 4th Re-Spin = 4x (Inactive), 5x (Active)
• 5th Re-Spin = 5x (Inactive), 10x (Active)

Guess what, you can even get a higher Multiplier if you trigger this feature during the Bonus Spins round!

Bonus Spins

You need the Scatter symbols to trigger this Bonus Spins round. These Scatter symbols can land on 3 reels and give you a chance to spin the wheel. In case you are wondering, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches’ special wheel will determine the number of Bonus Spins you will get. Using the standard bets, the Multipliers’ value can be worth up to 10x. But with the active Win Booster, the Multipliers can still increase up to 20x as follows:

• 1st Re-Spin = 1x (Inactive), 1x (Active)
• 2nd Re-Spin = 2x (Inactive), 3x (Active)
• 3rd Re-Spin = 3x (Inactive), 5x (Active)
• 4th Re-Spin = 5x (Inactive), 10x (Active)
• 5th Re-Spin = 10x (Inactive), 20x (Active)

Regardless of the part where the Indoraptor Wild appears, it will nudge to turn the entire reel Wild.

Jackpot Wheel

This game comes with 5 fixed jackpot prizes once you collect all the special fossil symbols. Once the Jackpot Wheel is triggered, you will get 1 of these 5 jackpots:

• Apex Jackpot = 2,500x your stake
• Mega Jackpot = 500x your stake
• Major Jackpot = 100x your stake
• Minor Jackpot = 25x your stake
• Mini Jackpot = 15x your stake

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches RTP, betting and prizes

Jurassic World: Raptor Riches has 20 fixed pay lines only where you can create a winning combination with 3 to 5 matching combinations. Starting from the leftmost reel, all winning symbols are paid from left to right including the Wilds. The stakes in this game range from a minimum of £0.20 to a maximum of £100 on each spin. To adjust the exact amount of bet you want, just click the arrows next to the Bet box.

There is also an available Quick Spin mode that can give you faster spins. If that is not enough for you then there is also an Autoplay mode where you can select 10, 25, 50, 100 Auto spins. Apparently, these options are not available to the UK players starting from October 2021. Thus, only players outside the UK can enjoy its benefits afterward. Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is a highly volatile slot but it has a standard RTP which is set at 96%.

This default RTP can increase a little and become 96.01% once the Win Booster feature is active. To make the game more interesting, Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is designed with a 44.45% hit frequency. This means that almost half of your spins can create a winning combination which is what many players always seek. Thus, this game is suitable for those who want a constant stream of winnings.

On the other hand, the maximum win in Jurassic World: Raptor Riches can be up to 2,500x your stake only. For a highly volatile game, this may be a little small even though you land its fixed Apex Jackpot prize. The low-paying symbols include the dino tokens and 3 dinosaur pictures while the premium symbols include the human characters in the story. Premium symbols pay 0.6x to 20x the stake for 2, 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols. The Wild symbols pay 20x the stake for landing a 1×1 Wild on all reels and 5 matching symbols on a pay line.

Conclusion

After looking at the portfolio of Fortune Factory, we can say that Jurassic World: Raptor Riches is so far its most polished game. Even though Jurassic World doesn’t have the same level of appeal that Jurassic Park did, Microgaming pushed through with it. Jurassic World: Raptor Riches looks more appealing compared with their previous releases even though they used some graphics and characters from the movie.

Therefore, expect to see familiar faces on the reels including the famous actor Chris Pratt and other imagery from the film. To capture the attention of players, Fortune Factory used some Microgaming extras like the Multiplier feature. But aside from its nice looks and combination of features, don’t expect a major payout from this game since its jackpot is smaller.
