Mammoth Gold Megaways

Mammoth Gold Megaways Review

As is often the case with reskin jobs, you get less engaging visuals that come across as more bland than the original. This may be a biased illusion, however, and new players who never saw the first game might have a totally different impression. Either way, Mammoth Gold Megaways is the exact same game as another Megaways title, so you can choose freely between a festive experience or a frozen Ice Age romp.

You get a mix of extinct and non-extinct animals on the reels, and you’ll see anything from a dodo and warthog to a saber tooth tiger and the top-tier mammoth. Both the dynamic grid and the background landscape is frozen over, and the core innovation is the wild multipliers that multiply the overall win multiplier. You get a combo of that and a regular increasing win multiplier in the bonus round, for payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Mammoth Gold Megaways Slot Features

Landing 6 of a kind wins with the premium animal symbols pay between 0.75 and 5 x your stake. The erupting volcano wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins when it appears on the top horizontal reel. The wild holds no value of its own, however. Winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic, which gives you indefinite extra wins per winning streak.

Wild symbols reveal a multiplier of x2 or x3 when they slide in on the top reel, and the multiplier is assigned to a global win multiplier meter seen on the right. If you slide in more wilds in the same Tumble sequence, they will multiply the current value in the multiplier meter. Everything resets between base game spins.

You need 3+ crystal scatters anywhere in view in the same tumble sequence to trigger the Bonus Round. You get 5 to 14, 6 to 14, 7 to 14, or 8 to 14 free spins from 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, respectively, and you can gamble for more if you get less than 14 free spins. The gamble wheel comes with red and green segments, and you risk losing the whole feature per gamble.

The win multiplier never resets during the bonus round, so it will only keep building as wild multipliers keep boosting it. In addition, +1 is added to the win multiplier per tumble win, and you win 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 extra spins when you land 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, respectively. Finally, non-UK players can purchase the feature for 100x the stake. The bonus round has an organic hit rate of 1 in 415 spins.

The 200 Spins Mammoth Gold Megaways Slot Experience

You get to see a few multiplier-boosted wins in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:15 into the 5-minute highlights video. We got 8 free spins from the wheel, and decided to gamble for more. We got +1 extra spin by the skin of our teeth, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

From the heat of a Mexican festival of the dead to mostly extinct animals in a frozen landscape. The visual and atmospheric contrast couldn’t be any starker, but we have to say we prefer the original over this reskin. Mammoth Gold Megaways is still a solid dynamic grid release for sure, mostly thanks to the somewhat innovative way wilds multiply the overall win multiplier.

This multiplier system is more exciting than the usual +1 increase per tumble win you get in so many Megaways installments, and not least when you get both in the bonus round. Solid multipliers can help you out also in the base game though, and the 10,000x potential seems well within reach. Still, your chances are the same as before, namely 1 in 21,276,600 spins. Overall, a decent reskin job, but not really as engaging as the original game.
