T-Rex Slot Machine
Dinosaurs may be long extinct in the real world, but in the land of online slots, they’ve become a popular subject. Close on the heels of the popular Jurassic Park slot machine, but paling in comparison, is RTGs dino-themed T-Rex video slot with a 5-reel video slot format that offers 25 adjustable paylines.
A Prehistoric Voyage
Imagine for a second that you’ve gone back in time, way back in time, to the prehistoric era when the gigantic and often times dangerous creatures ruled the land. RTG awakens these enormous beings in the T-Rex slot game, named for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the biggest and most fearsome of all dinosaurs that ever roamed the earth.
Accompanying the plethora of authentic sounds, images, and graphics, you will encounter such symbols on the reels as the Dino Egg, the Volcano, and a variety of prehistoric plant and dinosaur species from Stegosaurus to the dangerous Tyrannosaurus Rex. The playing cards have also been creatively crafted to fit the prehistoric theme, as well (though we wish slot makers would restrict the use of these symbols to video poker games instead of slot machines).
Mediocre Features
First off, don’t be scared when you are faced with the seemingly fearsome T-Rex on the reels, for he is the wild symbol and substitutes all other symbols on the reels, apart from scatter (Dino Eggs) to complete paying combinations. Your wins will be doubled whenever the T-Rex substitutes a symbol to form a winning combo. Unfortunately, T-Rex will only appear on reel 3. Five Dino Egg scatters will award a top multiplier value worth 200X your bet, as well as trigger the free spins feature.
As usual, the T-Rex progressive jackpot can be triggered randomly after any spin, regardless of bet size.
Free Games Feature
While the wild pays in RTG’s T-Rex slot seem a little sparse, things get a little better when you land at least 3 Dino Eggs scattered on the reels. On top of the scatter pays noted above, the Dino Eggs will also turn into a pick me style where you will be given the opportunity to select a Dino Egg, which will award up to 10 free spins and initiate the Free Games Feature. During free spins, land the T-Rex symbols on the reels, and he will eat all other Dinosaurs which will then be replaced with T-Rex symbols and resulting winning combinations paid. This feature can be retriggered.
Standard Wagering Limits
With up to 25 adjustable paylines, bets range from 0.01 (for one payline)/0.25 (for all 25 paylines) up to 5.00 per payline on all 25 lines equaling a 125.00 maximum bet value. We’ve been monitoring the chatter of a lot of Facebook slots players and the overall consensus has been that most casino players prefer to play games where the betting limits are adjustable, which is why the T-Rex slot machine is certainly a good fit for more players.
Verdict: Compare to Megasaur
Before making a final decision on the T-Rex slot, compare it to RTG’s sequel, Megasaur, which features stacked wilds and a more dynamic bonus round. Nonetheless, if you are the type of online slots player who prefers simple and minimal features, you will likely find yourself stuck on T-Rex for a while, thanks to frequent (but small) wins and an quick-to-trigger free games feature. Overall, T-Rex is an average online slot game, but doesn’t fail to deliver a quality experience to the right player. For example, seeing as this is a Mac-compatible slot game, it may be one of the best games currently available for Mac users.
