Dinopolis Slot Review

Dinopolis Slot Details & Wager Limits

The Dinopolis slot is played on a 5 reel machine that’s set up in a 3x4x4x4x3 formation that offers 576 ways to win. To create a winning combination, land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from reel 1.

Click on the arrow next to the Total Bet box to adjust your stake size. You can play at stake levels of between 10p and £100 per spin. There’s a Turbo Mode function in settings as well as an Autoplay facility which allows up to 100 autospins. This may or may not be available in your country (not permitted in the UK from October 2021).

The Dinopolis RTP is 96.4%. This is slightly above the 96% slots average. The variance is sky high as usual from Push Gaming with the bigger wins coming from the bonus features. As a result, the max win is 50,000 x your total stake per spin.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – take a trip to Sin City dinosaur style

Imagine a world where the giant asteroid hadn’t obliterated the dinosaurs and they lived and evolved. So much so that the height of sophistication was a night at a casino in the dino version of Las Vegas. That’s pretty much the theme in the Dinopolis slot. It’s inspired by the Dinosaurs TV series from the 90s.

The cartoon visuals here are nicely done and are backed by a classic rock ’n’ roll soundtrack. It’s all very silly but comes together rather well.

The bright lights of Dino Vegas form the backdrop to the action here. The reels are made up of dice, casino chips, playing cards and bundles of cash. There are also 6 dinosaur gamblers. The high roller of the dino gang pays 2, 4 or 10 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on adjoining reels. There are also wild, bonus and coin symbols which we’ll look at in detail below.

You can join the dino gamblers whether you’re playing on a mobile, tablet or desktop device (laptop or PC). The colourful design is nice and sharp even if you’re playing on a smaller screen. This is because Push Gaming are a mobile-first studio with the focus being on handheld devices. The gameplay is rather unorthodox but it’s all very doable if you’re using a mobile.

Dinopolis Bonus Features

With 3 bonus features, you’ll find plenty of extras in Dinopolis including multiplier wilds, free spins and loads of modifiers and Dino Coin instant wins.

Multiplier Wilds feature

The golden dinosaur teeth symbol is the wild. These wilds that land can come with 2x and 3x multipliers attached which double and treble the potential payout when they make up part of a winning combination. This is the Multiplier Wilds feature.

Dino Coin Symbols feature

The Dino Coin symbols can appear on reels 1 and 5 only. When they form at least a 3-of-a-kind win with wilds on the middle 3 reels, they deliver an instant win. Called the Dino Coin Symbols feature, the size of the payout depends on the coin that forms part of the win:

Dino Bonus feature

To trigger the Dino Bonus feature, you need to land scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. You’ll then get to choose 2 from 4 playing cards. The first pick will award a Feature Pick Prize (see below), the second awards a number of free spins which will be 5, 6, 8 or 10.

Here’s what the feature pick prizes entail:

• Sticky Stack Wilds: these stacked wild symbols come with a 2x multiplier when they appear on any of the middle 3 reels.
• Single Reel Multiplier Booster: with this extra, a reel which contains a sticky stack wild has its multiplier value increases by 1x, up to a maximum of 7x.
• All Reel Multiplier Boost: all reels that contain a sticky stack wild get their multiplier boosted by 1x.
• Golden Card: you’ll get 2 extra picks at this level.

The value of the sticky stack multipliers can combine if you land more than 1 of them in the same combination. For example, 2x and 3x multipliers deliver a 6x boost.

During the free spins, you could see special Dino Coin Collector Symbols instead of the standard Dino Coins. Each one of these that lands is collected in a meter.

Fill a meter and you’ll advance to a new level where you’ll pick more cards to land extra Feature Pick Prizes as well as more free spins. It’s possible to have all the Feature Picks active if the retriggers fall nicely.

For your reference, Push Gaming has a collect mechanism in other slots. In Fat Rabbit, you collect carrots to give you more free spins an expand the wild rabbit.

Dinopolis Review Summary – madcap slot with some top bonus features

The theme in the Dinopolis slot is very silly indeed but the colourful visuals, raucous 50s-style soundtrack and unusual gameplay make this a bit more than just a curio. Theme wise, it’s odd but it works.

The coins can spice up the base game and the free spins offer some decent opportunities courtesy of the modifiers. The modifiers ensure a different experience every time you play the Free Spins feature. It’s a bit like the Wild Heist at Peacock Manor slot from Thunderkick where pick from key scatters to get different modifiers.

Dinopolis is clearly a different direction for Push Gaming but it’s all the better for it. The theme is unique and fun, it has plenty going on features wise and it offers 50,000 x stake max wins. If you want more ferocious dinosaurs though, Jurassic World by Microgaming (which is the official game of the 2015 blockbuster film) is worth playing.
