• Free Spins
•
Free spins are triggered whenat least 3 egg scatter symbolsare present on the reels. The number of free spins awarded depends on the bonus game selected and the number of triggering scatters. However, whichever free spins round is chosen, landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters automatically awards a 5x, 10x, 25, or 100x the total bet payout. Before the round starts, players are presented with three options:
Primal Furyawards 8, 12, 16, or 20 free spins for 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters in view. In this one, Rex is sticky and moves either left or right; however, the Hatchlings are not, so they leave on the next spin. Landing 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters in this feature awards an extra 6, 9, 12, 15, or 18 free spins. InHatchling Mania, the Hatchlings are sticky and can move in any direction. Rex does not appear. Hatchlings may possess x2 or x3 multipliers which are multiplied together if they take part in the same win. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters in the base game award 7, 9, 11, or 13 free spins. While the bonus is active, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters retriggers 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 additional free spins. Jurassic Mayhemstarts with 5, 7, 9, or 11 free spins when triggered by 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters. In this one, all wilds are sticky and move in any direction during the feature. Landing 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards an extra 2, 3, 4, 5, or 5 free spins
Final Thoughts
At first, each direction we cast our gaze, we found some things that had changed, some which had stayed the same, and others that had somehow managed to do both. The Hatchlings wild are an example of the latter. Instead of being a brand-new addition, they are essentially just the non-stacked version of Rex found in the first game, so no major breakthrough as such, despite adding character. The dinosaur visuals haven't altered much either, yet they are different enough to feel like you're exploring another part of the world. It's all sort of new-ish, but kind of not so much.
And yet, it feels like we're splitting hairs really, because what counts, Raging Rex 2's gameplay, is every bit as good as the original. Even better, in some crucial ways. For one, there's the new bonus game to try, Jurassic Mayhem, where the sticky Rex/Hatchlings invasion can occur. It's hard to go past Hatchling Mania, though, where it's possible to build a colossal 243x multiplier with enough x3 Hatchlings in view. Impressive in part 1, but even more so in part 2 since Play'n GO has opened up the winning possibilities. Now, Raging Rex 2 is capable of hitting30,000x the bet, compared to the 5,000x of part one. About as good a reason as any to choose this version over the previous release.
In the end, some bits of Raging Rex 2 go larger, some less so than the original. The bottom line is that part two is the more enticing prospect, and the massive increase in winning potential is sure to more than make up for any perceived shortcomings elsewhere.
