Animal Antics Review

Developer Inspired Gaming keeps utilizing its Big Spin Bonus mechanics and comes up with yet another title that revolves around the branded free spins feature. Animal Antics slot, as the title implies, has a cute pets theme, but the features laid down here are pretty powerful and can lead you to incredible payouts.

Animal Antics is the first animal-inspired title in the portfolio of Inspired Gaming, but it doesn't really bring anything new to the players. We've seen a similar kind of gameplay many times before, and the features are identical to those found in previous Big Spin Bonus slots. Anyway, the cute cartoonish graphics create an immersive relaxing atmosphere, and the soundtrack fits the gameplay perfectly, adding a final touch to the gameplay.

Animal Antics Slot - Reel Screen

Playable on any device, the Animal Antics slot comes with a betting range of €0.2 to €20 per spin. It plays out on a massive 6x4 reel set producing 50 ways to play, where 3 or more matching adjacent symbols pay. The volatility is in the medium-high range, while the RTP is slightly beneath average at 95%. The max win is capped at €250,000, or 12,500x the stake, which is decent.

The symbol collection includes 10 regular symbols that are split into two categories.

The lower section is made up of classic A-J card royals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order collars, bones, hamsters, parrots, cats, and dogs. The bowl symbol is Wild, which appears on all reels during the base game and steps in for any other regular symbol in a winning combination. It's also the highest-paying symbol, awarding 250x the bet for 6-of-a-kind wins. Meanwhile, low symbol wins are worth 5x the stake, and premiums pay from 8x to 20x your bet.

Animal Antics Slot Features

Central to the gameplay of the Animal Antics slot is the Free Spins feature, triggered when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view. Then, the triggering symbols will turn into Pick Me symbols.

Picking the symbol will reveal the number of Big Spins, which can be anything between 1 and 5.

Only wins greater than or equal to 20x the bet will decrement the Big Spins counter, and the bonus continues until there are no spins left. The free spins feature operates in a similar way to the base game, but the major difference is that all Wild symbols that land on the reels during the free games lock in place and remain on the reels for the remainder of the feature. However, keep in mind that Wild symbols can only land on reels 2-6 during the free games.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which allows you to increase your winnings. Whenever you hit a win, you can multiply the amount by 2x in a simple mini-game. If the pointer of the wheel lands on the green segment, the win will be doubled. If the pointer lands on red, all winnings will be lost. You can enable Gamble for all wins, wins greater or equal to 5x the stake, or turn it off completely.

Review Summary

In conclusion, Animal Antics is not bad, while it's not too good either. The game looks nice and cute, and the gameplay is also fun and can bring you tasty payouts.

However, the slot cannot boast much originality, being a copy of Inspired Gaming's older slot for the most part. Anyway, if you like animals, Animal Antics might be a lovely option, especially considering its massive potential of 12,500x the bet.
