Although the stone background isn’t the most appealing, you will see glimpses of flying dinosaurs and intricate carvings that give this setting more personality. However, the main event takes place on the reels, and the level of attention to detail that has gone into representing a prehistoric family, their rolls, and the creatures they may encounter is excellent.
We do have to note that the game’s charming cartoon style, complete with a cast of characters and animals, means that Origins is unfortunately likely to appeal to children and young people. This is something that all developers should be paying more attention to avoiding and we hope to see less of it in the future.
The Super Stake ante bet doubles both your bonus round and super hold chances, but you also need to pay twice as much per spin if you turn it on. The premium symbols pay between 5 and 50 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you can land Wild symbols on reels 2 to 5 only. Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and wilds hold no value of their own.
The Super Hold mammoth symbol triggers the Super Hold feature when you land a stack of 3 on the leftmost reel in the base game. This gives you 3 respins, and only blanks or new mammoth symbols will land during the feature. The respins tally is topped up by the number of new mammoth symbols you land. The mammoth symbols can be split in two or three as they land, increasing the win ways accordingly, but they still count as one symbol for the respins tally.
The final feature would be the free spins, with up to 20 rounds delivered via 3 to 5 scatters. The game uses a special symbol, picked at random, which displays prizes. To collect those prizes, you need Collector symbols.
Not only are the visuals solid, in this Origins slot, but the gameplay contains all the features you’re looking for alongside a few extras you might not have been expecting.
