Primal Times from Relax Gaming dropped on February 12, 2024, and it's one of those rare slots where the gimmick actually justifies its own existence. The grid starts at 6 reels by 4 rows playable, with the top three rows sitting behind a wall of ice. That's 4,096 ways to start. Stretch the whole thing open and you're looking at 117,649 ways across a 6×7 board. Getting there is the whole game.
Here's the hook. Symbols arrive carrying a small meteor indicator, and any meteor that lands thaws the next frozen cell in its column. Each thaw widens that reel for the current spin only in base play, then resets next spin. It's a thawing mechanic I haven't really seen elsewhere, and it gives every cascade a sense of momentum even when the wins themselves are small. Three meteor symbols stacking in one reel during a spin or cascade locks in a full-column Wild Reel, which is where the math gets interesting.
The Wild Reel doesn't just sit there. It drops down onto the Multiplier Flow, a conveyor at the base of the reels carrying 1x to 10x values plus Bonus markers, sliding one cell left between spins. Whatever sits directly under the falling wild gets collected. And critically, multiple Wild Reels multiply each other rather than add. A 4x and a 6x give you 24x, not 10x. That single design choice is what makes big hits possible at all.
RTP sits at 96.11% in base, bets run 0.20 to 100 EUR, volatility is high, and max win is 10,000x. The H1 paying from 2-of-a-kind keeps the hit frequency tolerable, which is necessary because dry stretches are real.
Meltdown Free Spins are the headline. Three Bonuses on the reels gives 5 spins. Collecting a Bonus off the Flow via a Wild Reel also gives 5. Hit both in one spin and you get 10. Every defrosted symbol stays unfrozen for the entire round, so by spin three you might already be running a 6×6 or 6×7 grid permanently. Each subsequent Bonus adds another spin. That persistence is why even 5 spins can pay massively.
The buy menu is unusual: Standard at 100x for 5 Meltdown spins, plus two single-spin options (70x for guaranteed 2 Wild Reels, 150x for 3). Single-spin buys aren't common and they're a bit of a coin flip, honestly. The ice-age volcanic theme works well, frozen sapphires giving way to orange when bonus hits. My one gripe? The base game can feel quiet for long stretches if meteors don't cooperate, and that 100x buy is steep for what's often a short round.
