Theme and Design
Fans of the series of Ice Age movies will love this frozen slot design. The playgrid is set atop a wintery tundra background, complete with dinosaur bones and frozen fir trees. Even the grid itself has three rows of frozen blocks that only melt when enough meteors hit.
The beautiful artwork continues onto the reels, where there are five character symbols, each an animal from the ice age including sabre tooth tigers and wooly mammoths. If you’re looking for a prehistoric slot with crisp graphics, this is the obvious choice.
RTP and Variance
Primal Times Dream Drop has an RTP of 94.01% just 0.1% higher than the majority of other games on the Dream Drops network. Sure, it’s not much of an increase, but when you consider that 12% of every spin goes to the jackpot pool, it starts to seem a lot more generous.
This game does have high variance maybe not as astronomically high as some other progressive jackpot games, but you’ll need a fair bankroll to weather the dry spells.
Maximum Win
The Dream Drops jackpot is what many players will be crossing their fingers for with this game - and it certainly is impressive. The Mega jackpot seeds at €500,000 and isn’t won until it reaches at least €1,000,000.
Better still, this game has a pretty generous 10,000x non-progressive max win, putting it right in the middle of the other slots on the Dream Drops network. If you’re after a similarly snowy slot with an even higher non-progressive max win then Santas Stack Dream Drop could be a great choice.
Symbols and Paytable
The Primal Times grid starts at 6x4 in size but can expand as high as 6x7 if features go your way, as explained in the features section of our review.
This is a win ways game which means wins are triggered by landing 3 or more identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting at the left most reel. That creates 4,096 win ways at 6x4, and up to 117,649 win ways when all 7 rows are active on every reel.
There are 9 pay symbols plus a scatter and a wild. The low-paying symbols are the card suits which pay from 0.1x your stake for 3 symbols, up to 0.3x your stake for 6 symbols. The premium symbols are the characters, paying from 0.1x your stake for 3 of the blue animals, up to 3x your stake for 6 woolly mammoths.
There is also a Wild that substitutes for any pay symbol to complete a win way AND has a value of 3x when 6 land on a win way.
Features and Gameplay
Primal Times has plenty of interesting features, not least the Dream Drops jackpot game. Let’s take a look at them all in detail.
Cascading Ways
After any win, winning symbols are removed and replaced with new ones which drop onto the grid from above. This process continues until no more wins are triggered, then payouts are made and any unfrozen symbols become frozen again.
At the same time, meteors may trigger on any spin or cascade to unlock frozeon blocks from the top 3 rows, thereby creating more win ways.
Wild Reel
You can also trigger the Wild Reel by landing three or more meteor symbols on the same reel (either in one spin, or as part of cascade). This causes the entire reel to become Wild, creating more chances to complete win ways AND it also activates the Multiplier Flow.
Multiplier Flow
At the bottom of the reels is the Multiplier Flow. This moves one position towards the left after every spin, except during cascades. It contains multipliers from 1x to 10x and bonus symbols too. Once the Wild Reel is activated, any multiplier on the same reel in the multiplier flow will be activated too, and its value will be applied to any win that passes through that reel.
Meltdown Free Spins
There are three unique ways to activate the free spins round. You can either, land 3 bonus symbols for 5 free spins, collect a bonus symbol from the multiplier flow to get 5 free spins, or combine 3 bonus symbols with a symbol from the multiplier flow to get 10 free spins.
Dream Drop Jackpot
The Dream Drop jackpot game can land randomly at any time. If it does then you’re taken to the bonus round where all symbols turn to stone blocks or DD symbols. You need to keep spinning until a whole reel is filled with DD symbols. Once it is, you’ll be awarded one of five jackpots, which have seed values shown below:
- Rapid (seeded at €1)
- Midi (seeded at €5)
- Maxi (seeded at €100)
- Major (seeded at €25,000)
- Mega (seeded at €500,000 with a minimum payout of €1,000,000)
Final Verdict
With a stunning prehistoric theme, a fun melting blocks function and a generous 10,000x max win, Primal Times Dream Drop is a slot that’s as exciting as it is rewarding. The Dream Drops Jackpot is another huge bonus, which it’s possible to win when playing with just the minimum stake.
The high volatility might be enough to put off some of the players on smaller budgets. However, the 117,649 paylines and multitude of features mean this slot has the potential to be highly lucrative.
