Amazing Miceketeers (Bullshark Games) Slot Demo & Review

If you’ve read my recent review of Super Twins from Backseat Gaming, another studio on Hacksaw Gaming’s OpenRGS platform, you might have seen my tongue-in-cheek comment that it might not be a coincidence that Super Twins and Hacksaw Gaming’s most recent release, Get the Cheese, were both themed around cartoon mice. Well, now I’m sure of it, as Bullshark Games is in on the act, too, with Amazing Miceketeers, so perhaps all of the studios have been brainstorming for ideas, and the humble mouse came out on top?

Let’s focus on the paytable next, and the Wild symbols deliver the best payouts, with both the Regular Wild and the Walking Sticky Wild returning 500x the stake 40+ combinations. The Hat also pays 500x the stake, but this time for 36+ symbols, the Pistol is worth up to 300x., the Beer tops out at 100x, and the Shoe completes the premium section with rewarding a maximum of 60x. The Hearts and Spades are the best of the low pays, worth 30x, and the Clubs and Diamonds will return 20x the stake for winning combos of 36 or more.  

There’s a good selection of bets available to choose from on Amazing Musketeers, with players having a cheap entry point of €0.10 a spin, whilst the maximum stake limit on the game reaches €100.

Between the three mice enjoying some enticing-looking mugs of beer, a 7×7 grid matrix holds 49 symbols. When five or more of the same symbols are connected horizontally or vertically, a cluster is formed, and you’re paid according to the slot’s paytable.

Every winning symbol is removed from the reels, causing a drop of new symbols to refill the grid. Each re-drop can potentially create further winning combinations, which again causes another cascade. The process stops once there are no new wins revealed.

Regular & Sticky Walking Wilds

Two types of wild symbols can appear on the reels. The regular wild does as you’d expect of substituting for all regular symbols. The Sticky Walking Wild does the same, but they have a starting multiplier of 1x, which increases by 1x for each successive winning combination they help create. Those multipliers can increase up to a maximum of 10x and are applied to the payouts of any winning combinations they help to create. The Sticky Walking Wilds will also move to a new adjacent position after every win they help create.

Symbol Converter & Symbol Upgraders

Any Symbol Convertor symbols that land on the reels will activate once all winning combinations have been settled. It will add between 1 and 8 symbols of the same type next to it on the reels and will then convert into that symbol itself. 

As for Symbol Upgraders, if these are present on the reels, they will activate after the Symbol Convertors. It will upgrade one symboldirectly adjacent to it and all other instances of the same type  to the following:

• If it’s a low-paying playing card symbol, It’s upgraded to a random theme-related symbol. 
• If it’s a theme-related symbol, It’s upgraded to the next higher-paying symbol.
• If it’s a regular Wild symbol, the Upgrader transforms into a regular Wild symbol.
• If it’s a Sticky Walking Wild, the Upgrader converts into a Sticky Walking Wild with a base multiplier value of 1x.

If three or four scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, you’ll trigger the Amazing Adventure Free Spins bonus game with 8 or 10 spins, respectively. However, a full five scatter symbols will give you 12 spins in the Extreme Amazing Adventure free spins bonus. 

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins bonus games, any Walking Sticky Wild symbols that land will remain on the reels until your free spins run out. The multiplier values of each of those symbols will also persist without resetting between spins. In the Extreme version of the bonus, at least one Walking Sticky Wild is guaranteed to land on the first spin. In both versions, you receive an additional free spin each time a scatter symbol lands.
