Mutagenes

Mutagenes by Peter and Sons is a video slot with a science fiction theme centered around genetic manipulation. The game takes place in a futuristic space laboratory filled with bubbling vats, monitors, and other scientific equipment. While there's no overarching storyline, the theme is presented in a quirky and colorful manner, with cartoon-style visuals that lighten the potentially dark atmosphere of genetic engineering.

Slot Symbols

Mutagenes features a variety of symbols on its reels. The lower-paying symbols consist of standard playing card suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades). Higher-paying symbols include scientific equipment like syringes and hands, as well as biological specimens like eyes in jars and brains. The two highest-paying symbols depict human characters.

• Wild Symbol: The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol, helping players form winning combinations. It can also expand to cover the entire reel it lands on, increasing win potential.
• Scatter Symbol: Landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins bonus round.

Bonus Features

• Avalanche Cascades: Winning symbols disappear after a payout, allowing new symbols to fall into place and potentially create further wins. With each cascade, a win multiplier increases by 1x, offering a chance for larger wins with consecutive cascades.
• Infection Feature: This random feature can occur during both the base game and free spins. When triggered, it transforms low-paying symbols (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, syringes, hands) into high-paying symbols (eyes, brains, character symbols) for potentially bigger wins.
• Free Spins: Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols awards 10, 12, 14, or 15 free spins, respectively. The Free Spins round utilizes the same avalanche cascade and increasing multiplier mechanics as the base game. However, unlike the base game, the multiplier in free spins doesn't reset between spins, offering the potential for significant wins if cascades continue. Additionally, expanding wild symbols can appear during free spins, further enhancing win potential.
• Golden Bet (Optional): Players can choose to activate the Golden Bet for an increased cost per spin. This increases the chance of triggering Expanding Wilds or Free Spins during the base game.
• Feature Buy (Optional): Players can bypass the base game and purchase free spins directly for a set cost (120x the bet). This option awards 7 to 12 free spins with an RTP of 96.7%.

Interesting Feature: Persistent Multiplier in Free Spins

One of the most interesting features of Mutagenes is the persistent multiplier during the Free Spins round. Unlike the base game where the multiplier resets after each spin, the Free Spins multiplier increases with each cascade and remains in effect throughout the entire bonus round. This mechanic allows for the potential of much larger wins compared to the base game, especially if players can trigger multiple consecutive cascades.
