Wilds, Multipliers and a Money Train-style bonus round with Collectors and Splitters drive the gameplay in Canine Carnage.
Here is how it all works:
Wilds and Splitter Wilds
Look out for the Flaming Skull Wild which performs two functions. Firstly, they sub in for any other symbol to create a win. Secondly, they may cause symbols to their RIGHT to split if that symbol is a Royal, a Character, a Golden Bone or another Wild.
Anyone who has played any No Limit City slots will be familiar with the splitting cell feature. That has the effect of creating more active paylines as more rows are added to the relevant reel.
NOTE: Wilds land as normal on the reels on any spin OR are dropped at random, up to 3 at a time, at the end of a spin.
Multipliers of up to 5x
There are also Multiplier symbols in this game. Like Wilds these land on any spin or are added at random.
Multipliers have a value of 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x and unlike standard Multipliers they do not have to be part of a winline to activate. Instead, ALL wins are subject to the multiplier displayed at the end of a spin.
Golden Bones Award Instant Prizes
Next up is the Golden Bone which drops at any time to display an instant cash prize, expressed as a multiple of your stake. E.g. a £1 stake with a 5x Golden Bone gets you a £5 prize. These max out at 5x as well.
Golden Bones land as normal or are added randomly – up to six at a time – at the end of a spin.
Bone Spins Bonus Round With Golden Bones and Cash Pots
The Free Spins round has the feel of a Money Train about it. It works as follows:
- Three or more Flaming Petrol scatters are needed to unlock SIX Bone Spins.
- Regular symbols no longer appear on the reels.
- Golden Bones pay out instantly AND their values go into the Cash Pots displayed above the reels.
- To unlock the Cash Pot you’ll need to land a Collector Symbol.
- Multipliers are also accumulated and displayed above the reels. The multiplier total is applied to any win unlocked by the Collector.
- For each spin, up to SIX extra Golden Bones may be added and up to THREE Splitters.
- In this case, Splitters are going to double the value of any Golden Bones to their right.
More Games Like Canine Carnage
Money Train – There are some obvious similarities between Canine Carnage’s bonus round and Relax Gaming’s Money Train slot. The use of Collectors to pull together the value of other instant prize symbols that drop onto the reels is taken directly from that game. However, if you are expecting the kind of high variance mayhem you get with Relax, think again. Canine Carnage is a much more stable game model with more regular, smaller payouts. It is capped at 3,000x whereas Money Train can pay out up to 20,000x to lucky punters.
Nitropolis 2 – If you like futuristic games featuring canine creatures then we also recommend ELK Studios Nitropolis 2. Just like Canine Carnage, Nitropolis 2 features an extending reel set that can create an incredible 191,102,976 paylines. The reels are filled with gangs of dogs making their way through a Mad Max style landscape in a desperate search for fuel. It features Wilds, Re-Spins and Pays Both Ways features. The action is high variance and the top win is bigger than Canine Carnage at 10,000x.
