Blazing Mammoth XL Review

It must have been nagging PearFiction for a while, we can imagine, the fact that their biggest success release to date is not really their own original innovation. The original Blazing Mammoth is a solid game, sure, but it still lives in the shadow of 9 Masks of Fire. We are therefore happy to report that PearFiction has finally decided to do something about it, and Blazing Mammoth XL comes with original twists and upgrades that affect all stages of the game.

Fans of the wooly prehistoric presentation of the first game will hardly be disappointed, and there is an active volcano in the backdrop this time. Mammoth SwiftHits instant prize symbols can trigger 2 unique modifiers, awarding extra symbols in different ways, and the top prize has more than doubled to 5,000x your stake. Line wins are boosted by an increasing multiplier in the bonus round, as wild wins keep taking the starting multiplier to new heights.

Blazing Mammoth XL Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 2 and 4 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and Wild symbols step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. The name of the game is still collecting Mammoth symbol prizes, but there have been some upgrades and changes to Blazing Mammoth XL slot we’ll take a look at below.

The Epic Strike prizes have been upgraded to Blazing Mammoth XL SwiftHits, which admittedly is a mouthful, and they are stacked up on the left-hand side. The prizes range from 5x to 5,000x your stake this time, which is a significant improvement, and you win the corresponding prize when 5 to 12 mammoth SwiftHits symbols are in view. There are 3 unique mammoth symbols this time, however, and they work as follows:

• Regular Mammoth SwiftHits symbols - award the corresponding prize up to 5,000x.
• Respin Mammoth SwiftHits symbol - locks in place for a chosen reel to respin.
• Split Mammoth SwiftHits symbol - splits a reel with up to 6 symbols in total, which means that up to 3 extra symbols will be added to increase the number of win ways accordingly.

The Blazing Mammoth XL Bonus Round triggers by landing 3 scatters in view, and this gives you a spin on the Free Spin Wheel. The wheel spins to give you between 8 and 15 free spins, as well as a starting multiplier between x2 and x8.

The Multiplier boosts all regular bonus round wins, but not the instant mammoth prizes. Wilds reveal random multipliers up to x100 when part of a free spin win, and it’s added to the overall multiplier. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters on the same free spin.

The Bonus Buy feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can choose between 5 bonus buy options, and it works as follows:

• Pay 53.75x the stake for a spin on the Free Spin Wheel.
• Pay 41.25x the stake for 8 FS with an x2 starting multiplier.
• Pay 58.35x the stake for 10 FS with an x3 starting multiplier.
• Pay 84.65x the stake for 12 FS with an x5 starting multiplier.
• Pay 137.35x the stake for 15 FS with an x8 starting multiplier.

Review Summary

The original Blazing Mammoth is PearFictions biggest success to date, despite being a blatant 9 Masks of Fire copycat. The prehistoric theme is still fun and engaging, and Blazing Mammoth XL is definitely a bigger and bolder release that finally breaks free from the 9MoF blueprint. You can win larger instant prizes than before, but Blazing Mammoth XL is not really a heavyweight in the overcrowded instant scatter jackpots genre. The 2 special mammoth symbols elevate the experience to a new level though, and the bonus round is also far more engaging.

Getting respins and/or split reels with extra mammoth symbols will raise your pulse, and it adds even more unpredictability to the instant prize system. The FS multiplier system is taken to a whole new level compared to the “boring” x2 or x3 multiplier you get in the original. Wilds can add up to x20 to the multiplier, and this balances out the feature since line wins can also do serious damage. Speaking of, the 5,000x potential could’ve been even higher, perhaps, but this is still a far better game than the original copycat effort.
