Blazing Mammoth XL Slot Machine: Review & Demo
It hasn’t been that long, only a couple of years, and we’re seeing an improved version of the original Blazing Mammoth slot from Pear Fiction Studios. They’re still working with Games Global for this next release, called Blazing Mammoth XL. It’s an XL version, so it’s supposed to be better in every respect. You can see it in the improved rewards and features, though there is also an increase in volatility.
You will have at least 243 ways to win from the 5x3 reels of Blazing Mammoth XL, but at times the game area may expand to as many as 7,776 ways. The top prize of 5,000x the stake works well when the volatility is medium, and the 96.09% max RTP is acceptable. The big features to check out revolve around wilds, scatters, free spins with multipliers, and the SwiftHits Jackpots.
Blazing Mammoth XL Betting and Prizes
Blazing Mammoth XL has a common betting range, which allows the player to spin the 5 reels in exchange for anywhere between $0.20 and $50.
The top prize will reach 5,000x the stake, an amount that you can claim through the SwiftHits Jackpots and through regular combinations. The medium volatility is something I appreciate about it, and the RTP going up to 96.09% is also a good thing.
Slot Features
The slot will come with its own wild symbols, so forming regular combinations is a bit easier in the long run.
There are also the SwiftHits Jackpots, which will pay depending on how many times they’re in view. 3 to 12 such symbols will pay 1x to 5,000x the amount wagered. In addition to the regular Mammoth symbol, the system can also bring in Split Mammoths (adds up to 3 extra symbols for an increase in ways to win) and Respin Mammoths (become sticky and trigger respins for that reel).
The main feature will bring you up to 15 free spins and multipliers of up to 8x, going through a Wheel of Fortune to decide the exact numbers. You also get multiplier wilds that will boost the total multiplier, not just its own combinations.
Theme & Design
It’s a slot machine that puts the mammoth in the lead role, and the rest of the major symbols are similarly inspired by creatures from the Stone Age. There are Saber-Tooth tigers, Woolly Rhinos, Cave Bears, and Wolves. Overall, a pretty good design that is easy on the eyes and fun to play.
Conclusion
I enjoyed the combination of features that Blazing Mammoth XL delivers, particularly since the main one, SwiftHits, can trigger even during paid spins. It’s been improved compared to its relative, the Epic Strike Jackpot, which we’ve seen in plenty of other Games Global slots.
