Play Mole in the Hole for Free

The bet range is a little restrictive at 0.1 to 30 credits. It’s a medium volatility game where I saw relatively frequent wins. Unfortunately, there’s a return to players of just 92.71% here, which is well down on the 95%+ that I expect from medium variance games. Bear this in mind as you play the Mole in the Hole slot online.

I chose low stakes to see how the various features work and found a range of extras which led to a decent win rate. Cascades are among the most popular features of online slots, and central to this game. Symbols pay in any places before vanishing and those above drop down as new ones appear from the top to replenish the grid. This repeats for as long as you see at least eight matched symbols.

Where the Mole in the Hole slot game stands out is the increasing multipliers system. Winning symbols leave a 2x multiplier in their spots and any further wins in the same places double the value, to 4x, 8x, 16x, and so on to a 128x limit. Multipliers apply to wins and only reset at the end of cascades. Actually getting to higher values over a long enough series isn’t easy though.

Mine entrance scatter symbols in any four, five, or six places lead to 10, 12, and 15 Diggy-Boom free spins respectively. Free games can retrigger in the same way.  Bombs of 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 sizes can land in the bonus round, staying in place over any cascades in the same sequence and doubling any multipliers on their spots. Another big improvement on the base games is that multipliers are persistent throughout, which makes it easier to hit far higher values.

There’s an Ever Bigger Boom version of the free games, triggered if at least one scatter symbol was the Super type, and multipliers start at 2x from the outset.

This is an online slot with progressive jackpots, although you’ll need to stake 10% extra to qualify. I didn’t take this option, partly because the returns of the jackpot game are even lower, at just 85.00%. If triggered, 30 balls drop through a grid into collectors at the bottom and if ten land in the jackpot collector, you win the prize, which seeds at 1,000 credits and grows from there until won.

Here’s what you can expect to win as a portion of the total bet -
