Dinopolis Review

The puppetry sitcom, ‘Dinosaurs’, went on for 4 seasons between 1991 and 1994, and it scores a surprisingly high 7.5 out of 10, with more than 16,000 votes, on IMDB. The TV-series follows the family life of a bunch of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, living in a modern world where humans are kept as pets. Push Gaming’s cartoonish slot, Dinopolis, is only loosely based upon this concept though, and it’s set in what looks like a dinosaur version of Las Vegas.

We’re getting flashbacks to the infamous lizard scene in ‘Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas’ as we write this, but these dinosaurs are much more cozy and well-behaved. The game itself is pretty brutal though, even though dino coin prizes combined with multiplier wilds can land you solid base game payouts. You can expect a lengthy grind between bonus rounds, but climbing the 5 tiers is a pretty exciting prospect. You’ll keep adding stacked sticky 2x wilds, building the multipliers, while crossing your fingers for the 50,000x max win.

Dinopolis slot Features

The golden dino mouth trophy thing is the wild symbol in this game, and it can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. The wild steps in for all regular pay symbols, like it usually does, and it can also land with multiplier values of 2x or 3x. Not only that, but the number of win ways on the relevant reel is also increased with the amount equal to the multiplier value.

Special Dino Coins can land on reels 1 and 5 only, and these come with random multiplier values of x1, x2, x5, x25, x50, x10, x50, x100, x500 and x1000. The coin prizes are only awarded if you connect with at least 2 wilds on the 3 middle reels. The coin multiplier will boost your regular payout, and a multiplier wild provides an additional boost if it’s part of the winning combo.

The Dino Bonus Pick’em feature is triggered when you land 3 purple card scatters anywhere on the 3 middle reels. You will then get to pick 1 of 4 face-down cards. The first pick determines where your 2x stacked sticky wild will be placed (reel 2, 3 or 4).

You’ll collect special Dino Coins to upgrade the bonus round, and this means that you get a new feature pick, as well as extra spins for each upgrade. Here’s an overview of the possible features you will benefit from:

• Sticky stack wild - become frozen in place for the duration of the bonus round, and fill reels 2, 3 and 4 (at least 1 per upgrade). They come with a 2x multiplier, and more than one means that the multiplier values are multiplied together.
• Single reel multiplier booster - increases 1 sticky stack wild multiplier by +1.
• All reel multiplier boost - increases all sticky stack wild multipliers present with +1.
• Golden card - awards 2 extra feature picks on the present level.

Only the Dino Coins highlighted by a dotted circle are collected, and you can see the meter on the right-hand side. You need to collect 5 highlighted Dino Coins to fill the meter, and this takes you to the next tier. You then get to make a new feature pick and extra spin pick, and this can be repeated until all 5 levels have been achieved.

The 200 Spins Dinopolis slot Experience

Landing multiplier wilds in the base game wasn’t all that easy, but we got plenty of regular wild wins. The bonus round is triggered at 1:59 into the 6-minute highlights video, and we managed to upgrade the feature a few times by the skin of our teeth. You can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Basing a modern video slot around an obscure, 30+ year old sitcom about anthropomorphic dinosaurs might seem like risky business. However, Push Gaming pulls it off surprisingly well with nicely done cartoon style visuals.

We had a hard time landing multiplier wilds, but combined with said coin boosts, solid base game payouts are certainly possible. The bonus round is where things can get truly mental, but you’re gonna need a few upgrades to really build momentum. If you fill all 3 middle reels with the 2x sticky stacked wild, massive coin wins are bound to come your way. The 50,000x potential is certainly enticing, but keep in mind that the volatile bonus round can be very ‘hit or miss’.

Pros

• Win ways increasing multiplier wilds
• Dino Coin multiplier wild win boosts
• 5-tier bonus round w/ stacked sticky 2x wilds
• Win up to 50,000x your stake

Cons

• Might be too volatile for casual gamers
