Slot Details

Mount M is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 1,024 ways to win as default. The size can grow up to a 4-8-8-8-4 format with then 8,192 ways. You can summon the Mammoth Spirit on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.20% (TBC).

A wintery scenery with snow-covered mountain tops and bulging white clouds offer the fitting background to this prehistoric reel brawl. Spears and other early weaponry flank the game area that is filled with a range of prehistoric mammals including sabre-toothed tigers and mighty mammoths. An intense tribal soundtrack is the main audio for the gameplay.

All pay symbols can appear stacked, although only the Mammoth can land in superstacks of four symbols high. They start at the low end with crafted card royals from 10 through to A, awarding across the board 0.3x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a range of prehistoric animals – bird, wolf, rhino, sabretooth and the mammoth. Hit five across the reels to win 0.5x to 2x your stake.

A golden W on a rock is the wild, appearing on the three centre reels only and performing the usual substitution duties. Occasionally, it will trigger the Shatter Respin feature. Lastly, an eternal flame marked with ‘Bonus’ acts as the scatter.

Mount M Slot Features

Anyone who followed the progress of Play’n GO over the last years will have wondered sometimes how they keep up a release rate of one slot per week. Admittedly, some are what we call filler games like the 3-reel Love Joker but there are also plenty of blockbusters that range back as far as the all-star Book of Dead. Time to take a look at whether Mount M will fall into the latter category.

The base game can be somewhat monotone as you wait for the single modifier or the main event to trigger. The low symbol pays might make keeping the balance a challenge at times. Watch out for a frozen frame appearing around the three centre reels at the start of a new game round. Landing a wild inside the marked area will trigger the Shatter Respin.

The middle reels will randomly expand by 1, 2, 3 or 4 rows, creating up to 8,192 ways. Simultaneously, for every new row, one of the premiums is transformed into the top mammoth symbol. A full expansion will have only mammoths and royals in play. The reels will respin once with a better chance to land a big hit with stacked mammoths, although it might end with no win at all.

Hitting three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10, 15 and 20 Evolution Free Spins respectively. During the feature, two to five scatters will retrigger +3 to +10 spins, up to a maximum of 68. The round will start with the default grid size at 5×4 with 1,024 ways. Any expansion achieved will remain active for the remaining free spins.

The four rows on top of the game area are covered with ice blocks and your aim will be to shatter them and increase the grid as well as upgrade the premiums. Wilds can land marked with a flaming orb that will be collected in the lowest blocked row. Once all spots are filled, the row will unlock and award +1 free spin as well as upgrade one of the lower premiums to the top mammoth symbol.

• Collect 5 orbs: First row unlocks and the bird is upgraded to mammoth
• Collect a further 5 orbs: Second row unlocks and the wolf upgrades to mammoth
• Collect a further 4 orbs: Third row unlocks and the rhino upgrades to mammoth
• Collect a further 3 orbs: Fourth row unlocks and the sabretooth upgrades to mammoth

Any reel expansion will not reset between free spins. No additional spins are awarded once the total number reaches 68. After fully opening the grid to 8,192 ways, you will be playing with only mammoth symbols and royals on the reels. The best moment to hit wins of up to 13,000 times your bet.

Final Verdict

Mammoths, rhinos, dinosaurs, tigers and other ferocious animals are a common sight on video slots. I don’t think there is a major developer left that doesn’t have some in its portfolio. Play’n GO is not a stranger to prehistoric mammals although Mount M is their first that puts the mammoth at the centre of attention. One could say, it is rather similar to Pink Elephants from Thunderkick.

Either way, it does deliver suspenseful sessions with ample win potential, although the base game can be a bit too monotone at times, especially when the single random modifier hardly ever triggers. The Free Spins are rather volatile, so you might not end up at the peak of Mount M after every round.
