Jurassic Park Slot Review
The blockbusting Jurassic Park movie was released all the way back in 1993, but it took until August of 2014 for Microgaming to put out the slot game version. Just a few months beforethe Jurassic World sequel hit the cinema screens, which doubtless was not accidental.
This 243 ways to win game takes the familiar characters from the movie, and a few dinosaurs as well, of course, and uses them on the reels. That means the top value symbols are Malcolm, Ellie,Hammond, and Grant, played by Sam Neill in the film.
The other symbols are the real stars of the piece: the dinosaurs and the action take place in front of a jungle scene which pans out behind the reels. The wild symbol is that famous JurassicPark logo of the black dinosaur skeleton against a red background.

This bonus allows wild symbols to split if there is a possible win, meaning that you can potentially get a six in a row winning payline which pays twice what a 5 in a row win would. You can alsofind multiplier wilds which multiply wins be 4, 5 or 6 times.
Triceratops
This bonus has the Running Wilds feature, where instead of having stacks of 3 wilds they become stacks of 4. If you see a partial stack, it will be expanded to cover the reels and these will besticky while the other reels spin.

The feature included here is called Winning Wilds, where the dinosaur spits on the reels and turns a symbol wild. It stays wild until it features in a winning line.
