Jurassic Park Gold (Microgaming): Slot Review & Theme

Spielberg's original Jurassic Park, which grossed $1 billion at the box office, is a childhood memory that lingers for many people. The multiple follow-up movies that have since been released hardly made the same impression and the same can be said about the branded slot version efforts we've seen lately. However, Jurassic Park Gold has impressive effects and animations, which fans will probably love.

However, although this slot is a near-carbon copy of Stormcraft's Thunderstruck Wild Lightning, the game's math model has been watered down. The semi-transparent reels are set against a lush jungle backdrop, and you get plenty of recognizable characters from the 1993 blockbuster. To win big, you'll want to trigger the Link&Win feature, which is the only way to crack the 8,000x potential. All four unlockable bonus round versions come with less impressive maximum payouts.

Paytable and Bet Size

Jurassic Park Gold is a slot game playable on tablets, smartphones, or desktop devices. It is set in Jurassic Park, where players bet between 20p and $30 per round. The RTP is 96%, with 24.1% volatility and a pay line count of 40. A 5-reel, 4-row game panel houses symbols of dinosaurs paired with other symbols, such as trees and arrows; these makeup winning combinations with 3 to 5 matching icons.

The lowest-value symbols are the dinosaurs, while the main characters from the movie, John Hammond, Sarah Harding, Ian Malcolm, Ellie Sattler, and Alan Grant, serve as the premium symbols. The premiums pay between 4x and 10x your stake for 5-of-a-kind wins. The top payout is reserved for the game logo wild symbol (125x your stake if five land on an active line). Of course, this wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols to help complete winning combinations. It pays 2x or 5x when substituting during base gameplay.

About Jurassic Park Gold (Microgaming) at BC.GAME

The Jurassic Park Gold slot is played on five reels, four rows, and has forty fixed pay lines. Beginning from the first reel on the left only, you must land three, four, or five matching symbols to form a winning combination.

You can choose to bet between 20p and $30 per spin. To adjust your total bet, click on the coin icon (the first one below the spin button, to the right of the reels). You can then use a slider to select the coin size and coins per line you want. You can also choose a quick bet option if you don't want to spend time using the sliders.

The Jurassic Park Gold RTP is a flat 96%, the average hit frequency for an online slot. The average hit frequency here is 24.1%, meaning that winners will land just under once every four spins.

This game has a high degree of variance, so don't expect big wins often. However, if you fill the reels during the Link & Win feature, you can win up to 8,000 times your stake.

Feature of Jurassic Park Gold (Microgaming)

The features of Jurassic Park Gold, like the Gallimimus' 'flocking this way' in the original movie, are numerous. Let's take a look at them one by one.


Link & Win Feature

The Link & Win feature is activated when you land six or more Powerball symbols in a base game spin. Each new Powerball symbol becomes sticky when a triggering symbol lands on an otherwise cleared grid. Each Powerball spin resets the tally of spins to 3. When you land 15, 20, 25, and 30 in a row, you unlock rows 5, 6, 7, and 8. These rows have randomly generated cash values or jackpots.

The jackpots are always revealed on the left-hand side of the screen. Mini, Minor, and Major jackpots can be won during the Link&Win feature, which appears randomly. This is when a ball may reveal a 15, 30, or 100x prize, depending on your stake. If you fill all 40 positions with Powerball symbols, you will win the Mega Jackpot worth 8,000x your stake.

Free Spins Selection

The Bonus Round is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view, and four options are available.

You can thus only choose the Dilophosaurus option when you first trigger the bonus round, and two other similar options are unlocked after you've triggered the bonus round a given number of times: The Dilophosaurus award 12 free spins with x2, x5, or x8 wild win multipliers, and a 3,600x potential. The Velociraptor award nine free spins with x2, x5, or x8 wild win multipliers and a 3,650x potential. The Spinosaurus awards six free spins with x2, x5, or x8 wild win multipliers and a 4,000x potential.

The three above bonus round versions can all be retriggered. The fourth and final T-Rex feature differs from them in every way; it is only unleashed once you have collected 15 scatter pairs in the Wild Storm meter down to the left, which becomes an option the next time you trigger the bonus round.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex feature awards only one free spin, but it comes with a guaranteed Wild Storm trigger. This means that between 1 and 5 reels will turn entirely wild, and if this happens, you are awarded a prize of 5,000 times your bet.

Wild Chase Feature

The Wild Chase bonus feature can be triggered in the non-T-Rex bonus rounds, and wild symbols will appear in highlighted positions. Landing a wild in a highlighted position expands the wild to cover all positions on that reel for the current spin. This can happen only on reel three during the Dilophosaurus bonus round, reels 2 and 4 during Velociraptor, and reels 2, 3, and 4 during Spinosaurus. You also win +4 extra spins by filling three or more highlighted positions with wilds.

Jurassic Park Gold (Microgaming): Summary

Jurassic Park Gold offers impressive animations for fans of the Jurassic Park movie franchise. Still, it is a recycled, reskinned, and watered-down copycat of Stormcarft's Thunderstruck Wild Lightning. The originality in Jurassic Park Gold is different from its draw, as fans continue to gobble up any new Jurassic Park movie installment. The same goes for online slots: Microgaming has paid for an expensive branded license, so why not milk it for all it's worth?

The result is a branded re-release of the Thunderstruck slot machine that includes CGI bells and whistles, but many players will find this entertaining. The T-Rex Wild Storm bonus round could have been fun to gamble on once in a while, but unlike the original Thunderstruck, the potential needs to make it stick out more to make it worthwhile. Cynics will choose the superior math model of the original game, while dino lovers will look past all that and enjoy this branded reskin job for what it is.
