T-Rex 2 is a 5×3 dinosaur online slot by RTG that takes us back to the era of bipedal lizards. The T-Rex is here to show why he is the king. His proof? T-Rex terror Wilds, free spins and two progressive jackpots for his loyal fans.
If you dare to tackle the dinosaur tyrant, prepare for a highly volatile game. That is to be expected, given the available progressive jackpots. Still, you can definitely see the high variance reflected in the bets you are allowed to play.
SLOT INFORMATION
You can bet between $0.01 and $6.25 on each spin. If you play with all paylines active, your minimum bet is increased to $0.25. This release is played on a 5×3 board with twenty-five paylines we can toggle on or off at will.
Wins are awarded by matching at least three identical symbols next to one another. Winning combinations must start with the leftmost reel and need to follow an active payline to grant their prize.
RTG did not publish any information regarding the theoretical return to player (RTP) available in T-Rex 2. That is because the developer allows individual casinos to configure the RTP they want for this slot.
BASE GAME
Players have access to twelve distinct icon designs. The massive dinosaur king is the Wild, while a hatching dinosaur egg is the Scatter.
The highest paying symbol is the purple dinosaur, who pays 2500x for a five-of-a-kind win. On the opposite side, the least valuable icons are J, 10 and 9. Those three symbols pay between 5x to 125x. This gives us plenty of variety when it comes to icon payouts. If you want bigger wins, you will need to look towards the special features.
T-REX TERROR WILDS
T-Rex Wilds can only appear on the first reel and can substitute for all symbols except for Scatters. If a Wild is part of a winning combination, it will double its associated cash prize.
When a Wild lands on reel one, it has a chance of triggering Terror Wilds. All dinosaur icon on the other reels will be eaten. T-Rex Wilds will take their place, drastically increasing your chances of winning.
FREE SPINS
Three, four or five Scatters grant 10, 20 or 100 free spins. The T-Rex Terror Wilds bonus is active for the entire duration of this special feature. It is possible to win additional free spins by drawing more Scatters while the bonus is being played.
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOTS
Every spin has a chance of activating the progressive jackpot. The jackpots trigger randomly, at the conclusion of a spin. Their wins are added on top of any other cash prizes you have won for that round.
VERDICT
We love how this game looks. The background image makes it obvious you are very far from any civilization. All you can see are rocks and jungle!
However, what really won us over was the gameplay of this release. T-Rex 2 has fantastic special features that keep the progressive jackpot grind interesting. Definitely worth checking out, but keep the title’s high volatility in mind when planning your budget.
