Mount Magma Review
Mount Magma is a thunderous 5-reel, 10 payline Push Gaming slot that's all about the Volcano Bonus feature that sees players play a unique pick and click mini-game that sees them work their way up a volcano in the hope of winning massive prizes as high as 20,450x the player's stake. If that wasn't quite enough players can also get their hands on not one, but two progressive jackpots, a Daily Jackpot and a Mega Jackpot.
Design
Mount Magma, as you would assume from the name is set at the base of a pair of erupting volcanos that are shooting our molten lava and smoke at an alarming pace. The rock-formed reels feature various rocks and gemstones you might find deep underground.
Low paying symbols are different types of rock whilst high paying symbols are blue, green, purple, orange and red gemstones. The game's special symbol is the word WILD written in block of hardened magma.
We don't say it too often, but we'd recommend playing this slot with headphones in. Not because the soundtrack is incredible, but because of the overall ambience. Listen carefully and you'll hear the rumble of the ground, bubbling red hot lava and crackling of fire. In terms of the actual music, a slow and suspenseful drum beat plays ominously throughout base gameplay.
Gameplay
At first glance it's easy to mistake Mount Magma for a cluster pays slot, as the lack of defined reels makes it look so, however, this is actually a very straightforward 5-reel, 10 payline slot.
An action bar runs across the bottom of the game reels, where players can access a game menu, change their total bet, set up to 100 automated spins and of course spin the reels manually.
Win Potential
This medium volatility slot is quite inviting! It has an RTP of 96.50% and a maximum win potential of 20,450x the player's stake.
Our Verdict
Mount Magma is genuinely a lot of fun! We weren't entirely sure how we'd feel when we saw that the bonus feature is randomly triggered, as we do enjoy that feeling of getting close by landing scatters! But truth be told, it was absolutely fine!
It's not groundbreaking in terms of design, but the Volcano Bonus was genuinely one-of-a-kind and we had a LOT of fun playing it... In addition to this, it's always nice to see games feature a local progressive jackpot.
