Slot Details

Dinosaur Rage is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 1,024 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to five matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. During the features, enraged dinosaurs will benefit from a pay-anywhere mechanic. You can face the mighty reptiles on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has maximum volatility (5/5) with an RTP of 96.11%. Using the two Bonus Buy options will increase the value to 96.75% and 96.91% respectively.

Anna, the dashing explorer from The Ark of Mystery is back and this time she’s battling a horde of enraged dinosaurs on a faraway tropical island in a quest to retrieve precious treasures. Lush greenery and rock formations engulfed on a misty day surround the game area where the creatures roam freely in stunning 3D animations. An intense soundtrack rounds of the slot design.

The pay symbols start at the low end with beautifully crafted card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 0.75x to 1.75x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by four dinosaurs – Pterodactylus, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hit five across the reels to win 1.75x to 2.5x your stake. Anna is the top payer with 5x your bet for five. There is no wild symbol on the reels while a golden dinosaur egg acts as the scatter.

Dinosaur Rage Slot Features

The first reel expedition on Ark of Mystery didn’t catapult the dashing explorer into the limelight of casino lobbies. While the game was just as intricately designed, it had a rather muted reception in the player community. Probably one of the reasons for Quickspin to give her a second outing that could put her on the same popularity scale with Cat Wilde from Doom of Dead and other Play’n Go creations. They surely amped up the visuals and included more features that promise wins of up to 17,794x bet, which is nearly three times as much as on Ark of Mystery. Surely, reason enough for us to take a look at what’s on offer.

The Pay Anywhere mechanic first seen on Tiger’s Glory is making a return with a much larger role in the gameplay as it will be active not just in the free spins but also in the base game albeit in a reduced form. The mechanic will trigger in the base game only when Ana lands in full height on one or more reels and award a scatter pay when matching symbols are on sufficient reels even when they are not adjacent.

For Anna symbols, you will need them on at least two reels while the dinosaurs (active in free spins only) have to land on a minimum of three reels. For example in the screenshot above, there are Anna symbols on three reels, paying 2x2x4 = 16 times a 3OAK Anna win. A full screen would yield an impressive 5,120 times your stake.

The Nudge feature can trigger randomly when Anna lands in partial view only and sufficient symbols are on the reels to award a Pay Anywhere win. She will then nudge into full view on one reel before the win evaluation is done.

Hitting three or more golden egg scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Dinosaur Rage! Free Spins with an initial x1 win multiplier. During the feature, the dinosaurs can turn consecutively into Enraged Dinosaurs with the Pay Anywhere active for each enraged symbol. The initial number of Enraged Dinosaurs is based on the amount of scatters on the triggering spin.

• 3 Scatters: 10 Free Spins with one randomly chosen Enraged Dinosaur
• 4 Scatters: 15 Free Spins with two randomly chosen Enraged Dinosaurs
• 5 Scatters: 25 Free Spins with three randomly chosen Enraged Dinosaurs

Any Enraged Dinosaur will award scattered pays when they land on at least three reels in a free spin. Hitting again three or more scatters during the feature will retrigger the respective number of free spins and upgrade one more dinosaur to an Enraged Dinosaur. Once all are enraged, then a retrigger will award free spins and increase the win multiplier by x1, no limits. Any new multiplier will be applied to all wins prior to the retrigger and all following wins. The round ends when you run out of spins.

The Bonus Buy button is making a return, allowing players to purchase a Dinosaur Rage! Free Spins feature at a fixed cost (restricted in some jurisdictions). Two options are available. Spend 75x your bet for a feature trigger with minimum three scatters or 150x for a trigger with minimum four scatters. The RTP is slightly higher at 96.75% and 96.91% respectively. The feature plays in an identical fashion as after an organic trigger.

Final Verdict

Anna’s second reel adventure turned out to be much more entertaining than her initial expedition. Dinosaur Rage has a more volatile setting and vastly increased win potential, plus, more random and bonus features. The free spins often do not deliver big wins unless you have at least two or three dinosaurs enraged. It most certainly fires from all cannons when all are enraged and it keeps retriggering and increasing the win multiplier.
