Amazing Miceketeers, developed by Bullshark Games in partnership with Hacksaw Gaming, presents a whimsical take on Alexandre Dumas' classic tale. Set in a medieval French castle courtyard, the game features three mouse heroes as the main characters, cleverly alluding to the Three Musketeers. The autumnal setting is evident from the falling leaves and racing clouds across the sky.
The slot's visual style is reminiscent of classic cartoons, with the three mice adventurers positioned on either side of the 7×7 grid. This design choice creates a nostalgic atmosphere while maintaining a unique identity distinct from other mouse-themed properties.
Core Game and Mechanics
Amazing Miceketeers utilizes a cluster pays system on a 7×7 grid. Winning clusters are formed by at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. The game employs a cascade feature, where winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones falling from above, potentially creating additional wins.
The slot offers two RTP configurations, with the highest being 96.24%. It operates on a medium volatility math model. Players can bet from 0.10 to 100 currency units per spin.
Symbols include low-paying card suits (clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts) and high-paying thematic icons (a shoe, frothy beer mug, gun, and hat). Cluster sizes range from 5 to 36+ symbols, with payouts varying from 0.2x to 500x the bet for the largest clusters.
Regular wilds can substitute for any symbol and are removed after participating in a win. A cluster of 40+ wild symbols awards 500x the bet.
