Dino Delight is a Cryptologic slot machine that gets as a theme the prehistoric times, when cavemen roamed the world and somehow you get dinosaurs at the same time. Leaving aside the fact that dinosaurs and cavemen were never contemporaries, the game will remind you of the Flintstones cartoons. It even has the same kind of design and drawing style as that popular animation series, with stone made objects and cavemen dressed in animal fur, with cute dinosaurs and action revolving around the birth of baby dinosaurs.
The 25 lines you will find in Dino Delight are placed on 5 reels, and among the symbols available on them you will notice scatter and wild symbols, which will get you access to free spins, bonus rounds and multipliers. A $200,000 jackpot insures that this game is on your “to play” list, even if you’re not a fan of the Flintstones or dinosaurs in general.
Features of Dino Delight
You get a full complement of features in Dino Delight, but there is nothing out of the ordinary. You can expect to find scatter and wild symbols along the way, with their appearance resulting in bonus games, free spins and multipliers.
The Cave Girl is important not just because it’s the wild symbol, but also because you can expect from a five symbol combo to award the top jackpot, a pretty decent 10,000x multiple. The rest of the time, it’s a basic wild, so it forms new combinations when it can help you do so, but most of the other features all come from the scatter symbol.
Speaking of the scatter, the small Baby Dino gets the role, offering bonus games, prizes, multipliers and free spins when it appears. The cash prizes are available when two to five Baby Dinos are on the reels, and luckily they don’t need to be in fixed positions. Simply having them scattered on the screen during the same round is enough to get you prizes of 100x the bet.
Baby Dino Bonus Feature
The trigger for this feature is the appearance of 3+ Baby Dino scatters during one of the rounds. You get both the cash prize associated with that number, and the bonus game.
The next screen shows you six dinosaur eggs. You pick the eggs that you want to see and you try to match three identical symbols found in them. The prizes offered are either free spins with 2x multipliers or cash. The Golden Dinosaur is used as a wild symbol, with 3x multipliers, for the duration of the free spins.
Betting options and jackpots
While you can expect a big prize from Dino Delight, you do have to put in a serious amount of money as well. In order to both give yourself the best chance at getting the jackpot, and insuring that it’s going to have the maximum value, you have to wager $500 per spin. Wagers are composed of 25 coins, needed to trigger all 25 lines. Individual denominations go up to $20, with the minimum at $0.01.
Getting a $200,000 prize requires that you use the maximum coin value, and that you get the required five matching symbols on an active line. You get in return 10,000 coins, which can be valued anywhere between $100 and $200,000 (for coins of $0.01 to $20).
Design and symbols
The cartoon style theme of Dino Delight revolves around a caveman and a cave girl, where the dinosaurs play the role of the pets. The girl seems to get a gift of baby dinosaurs from the cave man. I’ve said it before, the design style will remind you of cartoons you might’ve watched as a kid, with a Stone Age family called “The Flintstones”. You even get the objects made out of stone that were so popular in that series, in this case the playing card icons using this material.
Symbols: Cave Girl (wild, 10,000x), Baby Dino (scatter, 100x the wager), Caveman (3,000x), Orange Triceratops (1,500x), Pterodactyl (500x), Ace (200x), King (200x), Queen (150x), Jack (150x), Ten (100x) and Nine (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s one of the cuter looking slot machines I’ve seen from this developer, and it has a decent range of features on top, but the real attraction is the $200,000 top jackpot.
You will find Dino Delight at any online casino which chooses to use software from Cryptologic, playable either for free or for real money.
