Game Overview
We’ve all heard of the Minotaur in Greek Mythology, the legendary beast that was half man, half bull, and trapped in a labyrinth for eternity. Unfortunately for this creature, it was eventually slayed by Theseus, but thanks to provider Mascot Gaming, it’s being resurrected once more for today’s review of their Minotaurs Wilds slot. This 5-reel game comes with a total of 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 95.16% and a maximum win of 2,000x bet.
You might have guessed it from part of the title, but this slot focuses heavily on the wild symbols. There are two varieties that can land, first up a standard wild, and then we have Gold Wild, which comes with a 2x multiplier attached to it. This is particularly important during the free spins round triggered when three or more scatters appear in view. All Gold Wild symbols that hit during this round become sticky and will remain in place for the duration of the feature. Mascot has included their Risk ‘n’ Buy Feature within the game too, giving players the chance to purchase instant access to the free spins round and take any winnings to the prize wheel, where up to 1,000x bet can be won.
We might not be able to guarantee you safe passage to Olympus and immortality, but we can sure try to make you feel like your very own slot god if you can conquer this game and walk away with the maximum win. Give it a try out first in our free Minotaurs Wild slot demo, available to play below.
Minotaurs Wilds Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Greek mythology themed slots are ten to the penny in the iGaming industry, and it must almost be an unwritten rule that, at some stage, every provider has to add one to their arsenal of games. Some of these slots can be memorable, whilst others fall into the “also ran” category. A couple of notable mentions if you’re looking to explore this genre further are Pragmatic Play’s Wisdom of Athena and Snowborn Games Master of Olympus.
Let’s kick things off in Mascot Gaming’s Minotaurs Wilds slot with the paytable, where we find the standard wild is the highest paying symbol worth 150x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by the Minotaur at 100x for a full line of five, with Theseus next at 50x for a complete payline. The remainder of the premium value symbols comprise three princesses with pays of 40x, 25x, and 10x, respectively. Moving to the low pays, we have five royal symbols, with the Ace paying 7.5x, the King at 5x, a Queen at 4x, and finally, the Jack and Ten both sharing payouts of 2.5x for a five of a kind hit.
I was a little shocked at first when I saw the staking options, as there are only eight possibilities available for players to choose from. These start from €0.20 a spin and max out at €50. Despite only a handful of bets to play at, they are spread out quite well, so you still shouldn’t have any trouble finding a suitable stake, but it would have been nice to see a few more on offer.
Minotaurs Wilds Slot Base Game
Mascot’s Minotaurs Wilds slot is played over a 5×3 reel interface with a total of 10 fixed paylines in play during the base game and free spins bonus. Players will score themselves a win when at least three matching symbols hit from left to right, with the win needing to start from the leftmost reel first whilst also landing on an active winline.
Gold Wild
The Gold Wilds will substitute for all other symbols except the scatter and multiply winnings by x2. If multiple Gold Wilds are part of a winning connection, the multiplier is only applied once. These special wild symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
Risk Game
Any winnings achieved in the game can be taken to the Risk Wheel, which has three sections containing multipliers and move in arrows. Players can win up to 1,000x their total bet when entering this part of the game.
Minotaurs Wilds Slot Bonus Features
The bonus scatter symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. If you successfully land these simultaneously, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10 free spins will be awarded.
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins feature, all Gold Wilds that land on reels 2, 3, and 4 will become sticky and remain in place for the entirety of the bonus. This will give you a great chance of hitting some five of a kind premium paying combos. It should be noted that the feature cannot be re-trigged.
Bonus Buy
Those residing in a jurisdiction where the bonus buy function is available have two options available to them if they wish to use this facility.
- 10 Free Spins: Cost 69x bet.
- Special Offer: The cost of instantly triggering the feature can be reduced at any time.
Pros
- Sticky wilds are always a great addition to any free spins round.
- The bonus seems to trigger pretty frequently.
- Cheap bonus buy option.
Cons
- The maximum win could have been higher. Even 5,000x would have made this slot a lot more interesting.
Minotaurs Wilds Slot Review Final Thoughts
If you're looking for a much less volatile version of NetEnt's Dead or Alive, then Mascot Gaming's Minotaurs Wilds slot might be of interest to you. I just wish they had put at least a 5,000x jackpot on the game, as it would have made it much more appealing to play and probably earned itself a higher score here, too.
