Your goal is to spin the reels in a way that the symbols form a winning combination (left to right) on the reels.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols are inspired by the characters from the original movie, Jurassic Park. Among them are T-Rex, Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, John Hammond, and Alan Grant, all present on the character symbols. There are also the dinosaur characters, which are mostly low-paying compared to the real character symbols.

The Jurassic Park symbol is the Wild. It substitutes for any other symbols but the Amber Fossil symbol. The Wild creates a wild symbol stack and also creates its own winning combination when multiple symbols appear on a pay way.

The Amber Fossil symbol is the Scatters. It completes a winning scatter combination when two or more of it appear on the reels. Three or more of them also activate the Free Spins bonus game.

With this slot, you can win up to €475,000. The Amber Fossil symbol is the Scatter. Landing five of it rewards you 100x the stake and four rewards 20x. Landing five T-Rex symbols gives you a win of 5x your total bet. Five Ellie symbols reward you with 12x the bet. Five Hammond symbols reward you with 10x the total stake. And five Malcolm symbols reward you with 8x your bet.
