The Wombat says: Jurassic Park – this blockbusting dinosaur movie is Steven Spielberg’s high-grossing film ever, would you believe? Well, let’s be honest, it was a right corker.
And guess what? The Jurassic Park slot from Microgaming is based on the classic 1993 film!
Remember the plot? A group of greedy geneticists created a wildlife park full of cloned dinosaurs – with disastrous results. But the real question is: does the Jurassic Park slot live up to its movie namesake?
Let’s get friendly with some raptors, Wombat Fans…
Look and Feel
Design wise, Games Global (the people behind the Football Star slot machine) have done a great job in this slot.
All the film’s main characters, including the scary-ass dinosaurs, are in attendance and appear on your reels as rolling symbols.
There’s the screen’s background that looks like a virtual tour of the Park; panning in on different scenes as you spin. Other awesome design extras include the short clips from the film that pop up whenever you land five of the movie’s characters in a row.
3D detailed graphics of each of the dinosaurs come to life during the bonus feature rounds, too – so if you were a fan of the film, you’ll love it! Try the Tianlong slot, by the way, if you like this game. You’ll be swapping the dinos for dragons.

Jurassic Park Slot Game Play
Jurassic Park has five reels, three rows and 243 Ways to Win.
Your symbols on the reels include; a Velociraptor, a T-Rex, a Triceratops, a Brachiosaurus and a Dilophosaurus.
Then there’s the human cast of the movie made up of; Dr. Allan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, Dr. Ian Malcolm and John Hammond.
The infamous Jurassic Park Logo is the Wild symbol in the game, appears on all reels and will substitute for any symbol except for the Scatter. The cheeky Wilds can also appear stacked on all reels.
Your Scatter is the Mosquito in Amber symbol. Land three or more of them and you’ll set off the Free Spins rounds.
T-Rex Alert Mode
Triggered at random, you’ll know when it’s T-Rex time by the blood-curdling roar that resounds through the jungle: it had me running for cover!
Remember that guy in the movie who was hiding in the outside dunny? Classic!
This feature is nice, and rather unexpected too, especially if you haven’t looked at the pay table. Here you are awarded six Free Spins and up to 35 extra Wild symbols too.
The ol’ T-Rex does look like he’s got a goofy smile in this slot though- that disappears when the animation kicks in!
Free Spins Bonus
Once you’ve landed three Scatters, it’s time to play one of the five (yes five) different bonus features.
Each of these stars a different dinosaur and offers combinations of Multipliers, Spins and Wilds. Let’s take a look:
Tyrannosaurus Rex Bonus
This will give you 12 free spins with Wild Reels. The T-Rex symbol appears stacked during this round, plus a T-Rex may also decide to change your reels completely wild. Roar!
Velociraptor Bonus
It’s 12 Free Spins for you with Multipliers and Split Wilds if you pick this bonus. A Velociraptor will leap onto the reels turning symbols Wild and adding a 4x, 5x or 6x multiplier to them. They will also double up, giving you new combos.
Triceratops Bonus
You will pick up 12 Free Spins and Running Wilds here. The Wild stack increases with each spin, while the Triceratops lands stacked, too. No-win spins will give you a stack of sticky wilds and a re-spin, too. We do like those friendly Triceratops!
Brachiosaurus Bonus
This bonus features 12 Free Spins and a mystery multiplier. The hungry herbivore munches on the reels’ tree tops to give you multipliers from 2x to 6x. The Brachiosaur symbol appears stacked on the reels, too.
Dilophosaurus Bonus
If you get this bonus, Winning Wilds and 12 Free Spins will be yours. The dopey Dilophosaurus turns random symbols into sticky wilds to give you more wins.
Conclusion
A must-play for film buffs and slot fans alike – the five Free Spin bonuses make for fun and interesting play, while potentially lining your pockets. Give the awesome Jurassic Park slot a spin.
