Back in 2025, the world was eagerly awaiting the next Steven Spielberg classic. The ET director had decided to sink his teeth into a new line of dinosaur-themed films based on a 2025 novel by
Michael Crichton. That film was Jurassic Park and upon release it was hailed an instant classic, thanks to its landmark visual effects and use of CGI.
The film spawned several sequels, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and Jurassic Park III (2001) although these were not as successful as the original film. However by 2025, the thirst for more dinosaurs was unquenchable and the fourth film in the series, 22 years after the original, was released, Jurassic World.
However 2025 was notable not just for the release of the fourth film in the series. After striking a deal with Universal Studios to produce a number of film tie in slots, Microgaming announced that it would be releasing its own version of a slot based on the original Jurassic Park film.
It may have been 65 Million Years in the making, but there is no doubt that Microgaming’s slot version of the dinosaur-fest was certainly well worth waiting for.
And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that you can find this slot at Bet365. For more on the site and for information on how as a new player you can claim a Bet 365 instant casino bonus, just follow the link.
The first thing to note about the slot is that thi sis a typical 5x3 reel slot, only instead of the usual paylines, this slot is one of the newer 243-ways to win slots that are becoming increasingly popular with slot fans.
With these slots the key to their success lies in how much it costs to get the reels spinning and the great thing with Jurassic Park is that Microgaming have priced their slot so that it appeals to all slot fans. Smaller stakes players can enjoy the game from just 0.30 a spin, whereas if you like to wager more on a slot, then you can wager up to £15 on a spin if you prefer. Simply customise how much you wish to play for and then start the reels in motion.
One of the new features of the slot is parallax scrolling, which is a first on a slot. This enhances the feel of travelling through the jungle as the background screen moves from left to right, giving the impression that you are working your way through the dense jungle that the dinosaurs inhabit. It is only a small touch but it does have a big impact.
The same can be said for the symbols on the reels. There are five dinosaur symbols on the reels which are the low symbols in the game, whereas the four main human characters from the film played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and the late Sir Richard Attenborough are in the game high symbols offering higher payouts.
When you land three or more of the human characters in a line you get played a snippet of action from the film which once again, helps bring the slot to life.
However, there is a lot more to this slot than simply the basics, so now let’s take a look at some of the many features that has made the Juassic Park slot such a hit since its release last year.
Most Microgaming slots come with Wilds and Scatter symbols in play and Jurassic Park is no different, however it is how each of these are used and the bonuses and features that they can unlock that makes the Jurassic Park slot a cut above the competition.
Let’s begin with the Wild symbols, which are the Jurassic Park logo. These are stacked on the reels throughout the base game and of course, when landed on screen can help create winning paylines by replacing any high or low symbol across the reels to create a winning payline.
However, you can increase the number of Wilds across the reels by 35 symbols when the randomly triggered T-Rex Alert Mode feature kicks in.
When a T-Rex is spotted in the jungle, the mode is activated and a further 35 Wild symbols are added to the reels. Over the next six spins, these wilds can be used to help create winning paylines and if you look closely, you may even spot the T-Rex barrelling through the jungle after your third spin in the series.
The T-Rex mode can strike at any time and it does add a real sense of anticipation to the base game, as well as allowing players the chance for bigger wins thanks to the greater number of Wilds in play on the reels during those half-dozen spins.
However, the majority of features in the game are accessed via the in game Scatter symbol, which in Jurassic Park is symbolised by a dinosaur egg. Landing three scatters anywhere across the reels will trigger the free spins section but unlike most slots, Jurassic Park doesn’t have just one free spins round, but five.
As you play through the slot, you will play each of the five free spin games in order five times apiece but after triggering free spins 25 times, you can then select which of the games you would like to play from then on.
The five free spins game all offer a total of 12 free spins, but each comes with its own special features that identify it from the others and of course, each is named after one of the dinosaurs that feature so crucially in the film.
Jurassic Park offers punters a fantastic slot adventure and with the highest quality visuals, sound effects and music, many taken directly from the film, Jurassic Park is a slot that you can easily immerse yourself in and enjoy time and time again.
