Special Features

There are exciting special features available in Jurassic Park and these add the player’s chance of winning impressive payouts. This includes a randomly triggered wild feature and a free spins bonus round with five game options.

T-Rex Alert: This feature is randomly triggered whenever a T-Rex is sighted. Your chance of winning will be increased with the addition of 35 extra wild symbols added to the reels. The feature will last for a total of 6 paid spins.

Free spins Bonus Round: The free spins bonus round is the main feature of the game and it is activated when three or more scattered mosquitos encased in amber land anywhere on the reels. There are five unique free spins features, each with its own different environment and soundtrack. The feature will be awarded to you randomly until you have triggered the feature 25 times, after which you will be able to choose which feature plays.

  • Tyrannosaurus Rex – Players are awarded 12 free spins with Wild Reels. Stacks of wild symbols will appear on all reels and T-Rex symbols will appear stacked 3-deep on all the reels. Whenever a T-Rex appears, players are guaranteed a winning payout.
  • Velociraptor – Players are awarded 12 free spins with split and multiplier wilds. Each time a wild symbol lands, if it can contribute to a winning combination, it can split in 2. This can lead to six-of-a-kind wins, which pay out twice the payout of a five-of-a-kind win. In addition, a win with a wild symbol will award a random multiplier value of 4x, 5x or 6x the win. The Velociraptor symbol stacks 3 deep on all reels.
  • Brachiosaurus – Players are awarded 12 free spins with a mystery multiplier value. During the feature, players will be awarded a random multiplier value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 6x which will apply to a random number of free spins. The free spins can be re-triggered in this feature.
  • Triceratops – Players will be awarded 12 free spins with running wilds, random stack nudges and re-spins. Initial stacks of wilds will be 3 deep, but on each subsequent spin, one more wild will be added to the stack. If a partial stack spins up, a number of Triceratops will stampede across the reels creating full wild reels which will freeze in place while the remaining reels re-spin. Any full stack of wilds will hold in place and award a re-spin of the other reels.
  • Dilophosaurus – Players will be awarded 12 free spins with a winning wilds feature. The Dilophosaurus can appear on any reel, spit at a symbol and transform it into a wild symbol. The wild symbol then remains in place until it contributes to a winning combination.
