Jurassic Park was a book and then a series of movies that were a huge hit, and the Dino World slot, available at Red 7 mobile casinos, gives players a similar type of concept with a theme park based around dinosaurs. There are lots of sections of this theme park that are handled in the form of features and bonus rounds, and you'll see tons of different dinosaurs along the way. If you were a fan of the movies that this game's theme is based on, then you'll love the references this title has to offer along those lines.

Slot Format

The format of this game is about as usual as you can get on the video slot side of things since there are five reels with three rows for the typical 15-symbol grid. However, you'll also have 20 paylines across that grid, and that's enough ways to win for the game to be interesting without it being so many ways to win that it's difficult to keep up with.

Picking out your wager size has been simplified in this title as well. You'll be able to start out with a $0.20 wager on the lower end, and there are plenty of different bet sizes to pick from. Penny players, mid-stakes fans and high rollers will all have no problem getting a bet size that works for them and their bankrolls.

The Park Selection Screen

The park selection screen gives you the ability to pick out which feature you want more information about. This is a helpful screen because there are so many features that it's difficult to keep up with them all unless you're particularly familiar with this game. It works like an interactive map would for an actual theme park.

Water Park

At the Water Park feature, you're given 10 free spins. There's a big Megasaurus in the water, and it can jump up to catch bait that's being moved along the wire at the top of the screen. When it does, it'll turn the whole column wild for the space where it jumped, and that basically amounts to a free spins bonus round with random wild reels. It ties into the theme very well, however.

Old Park Feature

In Jurassic World, there's a scene where you can see the insides of the old Jurassic Park built years before on the same island (which was eventually destroyed by dinosaurs). In the Old Park feature, you'll have free spins with random wilds added to the reels after every single spin. You can actually find parts to the Jeep for more opportunities for free spins to keep the feature going.

Raptor Pen Feature

During this feature, raptors will run up to the reels and claw at them while pulling symbols off of the doors where the reels appear. Wild symbols will appear in their place, and you'll have this happen after every spin. This is another feature with extra wilds, but seeing the 3D raptors run up and start mauling the symbols is a lot of fun.

The Dino Dash and Bird House

The Dino Dash feature is a race between a few dinosaurs, and you'll win a bigger payout if you pick the winner correctly. The Bird House feature, however, is a little more complicated and is based on prize wheels. You can get multipliers, free spins and instant wins with Pterodactyl Pete helping you out.

Wins and Symbol Set

The payouts listed on the standard pay table are based on a $0.20 bet size. They scale up accordingly as you increase your bet. You can win 10x for five of the wilds or 5x for five of the bonus symbol that awards a feature. The Dino World symbol is worth 4x, and the mosquito in the amber gets you 3x for five. A win of 2.5x is yours for the eggs, and that drops to 2x for the paw print. The five different card rank symbols each pay 1.75x to 0.75x for five of a kind.

Overview

Dino World has a ton of bonus features, more than most other games we can even think of. Red7 made this tie in with the different exhibits at the theme park, so it fits with the motif of the game extremely well. We also like the smart use of 3D graphics in a way that they look great when they show up, but they aren't gaudy, and they don't dominate the visual landscape.
