Rich Raptors Slot Features

The main 6x4 gaming panel stands on a platform, with a city landscape spanning behind. Winning combinations require a minimum of 3 matching symbols to land on adjacent reels, beginning from the leftmost one. All 4,096 ways are active, so there's no need to follow specific pay lines when forming a hit. Payouts range between 0.1 and 1 time the bet for scoring on low-value icons represented by four playing card suits. Premium symbols appear as five portraits of the elegant raptors and pay from 0.25 to 5 times. A traditional Wild appears on reels 4, 5, and 6 only, substituting for all standard symbols during win evaluation.

Meteor Shower Feature

Meteor symbols can land on reels 4, 5, and 6. They always drop with a value of 1, 2, or 3 which indicates how many times the feature will be triggered. Meteor Shower destroys a random number of non-winning symbols present on the grid, thus making room for more icons to populate the view and potentially award further wins.

Rich Raptors Free Spins

Landing 3 Bonus Symbols on reels 1, 2, and 3 activates 10 free spins. Two independent multiplier meters are added during the bonus. The first one is persistent and initially locked, while the second one is active from the start but resets after every spin. Triggering the Meteor Shower feature increases both meters by the value equal to the number of destroyed symbols. Each scored Bonus Symbol contributes to the progressive meter that awards additional free spins and unlocks the persistent multiplier when 10 units are collected. At this point, the regular multiplier will be deactivated, and all successive wins will be multiplied by the value of the persistent meter.

Final Thoughts

Anthropomorphized animals feature in slot games regularly, although dinosaurs are usually not the creators' first pick. We've already seen such a direction successfully utilized in Push Gaming's hit release Dinopolis, and now it's time to take a closer look at how Fantasma has tackled this unique theme. From the visual standpoint, it's a clean composition with nicely polished symbols and a rich city landscape in the backdrop. Perhaps it lacks the showmanship of the competitor regarding the animations, effects, and level of detail, but it's still a pleasant setting comfortably fitting into contemporary norms.

The gameplay is fairly easy to grasp from the first feature activation. Straightforward symbol destruction in up to 3 consecutive cascades provides some level of excitement in the base game, allowing to accumulate several wins in a single spin. However, due to a relatively weak pay table, they rarely grow to significant amounts, stripping the primary stage of larger win potential. The tables turn quite rapidly in the bonus, where two multipliers come into play. The amount of symbols destroyed by the Meteor Shower usually fluctuates between 5 and 10, so the final boost often results in a big win. The progressive meter is a welcome addition to extend the bonus and ultimately maybe even arrive at the top 100x multiplier that would help in achieving the 8,000x max win.
