Dr Enlarge-o Slots
If you are after some big spinning action, then what better game to play than this slot machine that is based on a mad scientist who is obsessed with making little things bigger?
Dr Enlarge-o is a very enjoyable novelty video slot by Novomatic with 5 reels and 25 paylines, and as the name might suggest, there are plenty of big bonus features which could result in some huge wins for spinners who are crazy enough to enter the mad doctor's laboratory!
Let the experiment begin...
Step into the laboratory of Dr Enlarge-o and you will discover a whole load of weird and wonderful items and instruments that are used as part of his insane experiments.
For a start, there's a series of playing card shaped sponges soaking in some strange fluids, as well as some fearsome looking tweezers, a flask which is labelled “Enlarged Vapor 3”, a Bunsen burner, and a robotic arm which is used to do all of the handling of those dangerous chemicals.
Players will also get to meet the mad scientist himself, who is designed to emulate some sort of cross between Albert Einstein and Dr. Frankenstein's deformed lab assistant, Igor. However, the lab assistant of Dr Enlarge-o is far from being hunchbacked and bucktoothed, because she is actually quite a normal looking young lady – perhaps she drew the short straw in her work-experience placement!
All of the characters and objects in this Novomatic slot machine are depicted as two-dimensional cartoons, helping to give the game a comical and wacky feel to suit the unique theme. As such, the game does pale in comparison to other games out there which use 3D graphics to create similarly themed games (we're thinking of Betsoft's Mad Scientist slot machine). Even so, this game has plenty of bright, colourful and eye-catching design features to keep players fully entertained as the reels spin.
Honey, I blew up the wild symbols
One aspect of this scientific slot machine that is particularly eye-catching involves the game's main bonus feature – the expanding wild monsters. There are all sorts of weird and wonderful monster icons which could appear during any spin on the second, third and fourth reels of the slot machine. In fact, there are 10 different creatures of different shapes and sizes – some are simply round blobs while others extend their gruesome bodies and limbs in strange directions.
All of the monster icons which turn up on the reels will cover one reel position and will act as a wild symbol to complete wins for normal line bet paying icons.
However, every time that a monster appears, Dr Enlarge-o will shoot a random laser across the reels and if it hits a monster then, you guess it, the monster will enlarge to cover up to 5 reel positions. Thus, there will be more wilds in play, and more chances to line up those all-important wins!
If players find three bonus scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, then they will receive 10 free spins with guaranteed expanding monster wilds.
Enlarge your betting balance
Speaking of wins, all players have to do to earn prizes in this game is line up matching icons upon any of the 25 permanently fixes paylines. There are no scatter wins involved, so all of the prizes are calculated by multiplying the “bet/line” value by the following line bet multipliers:
Players can place a range of wagers per line, from as little as 1 credit to as much as 400 credits. However, remember that these stakes per line will be multiplied by 25 to account for all of the game's paylines. Nonetheless, a maximum total wager of 10,000 credits will return a staggering 600,000 credits – which is not a bad enlargement by any slot machine's standards!
Punters can also gamble their wins up to a maximum of 5,000,000 credits with a 50/50 side game in which players must guess the colour of a turned over playing card.
Big spinning action all round
Dr. Enlarge-o is an entertaining slot machine which offers something a little bit different from the usual. Perhaps to most interesting aspect of the game is the fact that it ties in the theme with the bonus gameplay, meaning that players can witness the enlargement of monsters to add more wilds to the reels and improve winning chances.
