Evolution

Evolution slot is an enchanting game by top casino software developers NetEnt. It transports you back to prehistoric times when life, as we know it was in its infancy. There are all kinds of strange and wonderful creatures on the reels and the cavernous soundtrack leaves a sense of wonderment.

How To Play Evolution Slot

Learning what each prize symbol represents and the mappings for each bet line is always a good starting point when playing online slots. Click the ‘Paytable’ button in underneath the leftmost reel to explore the game’s features.

You’ll see that Draconius Rex is the biggest paying symbol at 500 coins for 5 in a row on any bet line (based on bet level 1). Wilds can appear on reels 2-5 only and substitute for all symbols apart from free spins symbols. Bet line wins pay if in succession from leftmost to right.

The free spins icons are scatter symbols and can combine anywhere across the reels. Get 2 of these for a 2x multiplier of your total bet. 3 scatter symbols is a 4x multiplier with 10 free spins. 4 scatter symbols pays x20 your total bet and gives 15 free spins. Get 5 scatter symbols for a huge 100x multiplier and 20 free spins.

During the free spins game, the Evolution feature will come into play after the first winning combination. It effectively changes any symbols apart from wilds that made part of the winning combo and any identical symbols on the reels into the next best-paying symbol. The Evolution feature allows you to climb up the symbol scale and get bigger and better pay outs as the free spins round progresses. The Evolution feature applies only as far as the highest symbol within each symbol group. There are two symbol groups each with 5 symbols; complex organisms that are coloured, and simple organisms that are translucent and jelly-like in appearance.

As the bet lines in this game are fixed, you will only need to make two adjustments before spinning the reels. Use the sliders or arrows to select your coin value and bet level, remembering that both settings will affect the cost of the overall bet per spin. For example; a coin value of 0.05 at bet level 6 will result in a cost of 7.50 per spin (0.05 x 6 = 0.30 x 25 bet lines = 7.50). The Max Bet button will automatically set the bet level to 10 but you must remember to first set the coin value before you bet as the cost per spin will be 250 times the coin value displayed.

You can change a few settings to suit your personal taste via four icons on the bottom left of the screen. The spanner icon provides on/off options for graphics, audio, keyboard control, and features such as quick spin, animations and intro screen. Volume is adjusted via the speaker icon and the question mark opens the help menu. The Auto button allows you set the number of spins to be executed when you press Autoplay and has advanced options to control when to stop the feature.

Once you’re happy to begin playing Evolution video slot, simply click the grey circle with white arrows in the middle. Alternatively, you can use the auto-spin feature if you don’t want to click for each spin.

Evolution Slot Tips

Evolution online slot can be found at NetEnt casino operators such as Video Slots and Casumo, but is unfortunately not available on mobile. It’s not a slot that features in any welcome offers and is not a game to use for meeting the wagering requirements of a casino bonus. This is because you’ll get minor wins in dribs and drabs and it can be a while before hitting a big payout. When your luck is in, the wins can be relatively big but not in comparison to progressive jackpots.

The wild symbols help to keep a few small returns coming back in but are not a very active symbol. The scatter symbols are even rarer but are key to getting the best wins on this game. Not only will your overall stake be multiplied but get enough of these and you’ll enter the free spins game. We managed to win a not too shabby 994 coins off 10 free spins, so getting 15 or 20 free spins will offer some serious casino rewards.

The Evolution feature improves your chances of hitting a big win with each winning combination, so the more free spins you have, the better your chances of hitting the jackpot payout.

Is Evolution The Right Slot For You?

Evolution is a high variance slot that pays out small amounts most of the time with the occasional big win. The RTP is 96.3% which gives the casino a house edge of 3.7%. This is good for an online slot and suggests that over a sustained period you can win the majority of your stakes back by landing a big payout. It’s a game to approach with a suitable bankroll as smaller stacks could easily be wiped out early doors.

The melodic and tranquil music really gives this game character and the graphics are stunning. Unlock the free spins and the reels will ascend to the surface where you can see land for the first time. During free spins the music slightly ups tempo and there is a drum beat for the first time. Watch while you rack up the wins before an asteroid crashes down to signal your return to the main game.

Although the organisms in this game appear to be fictional, it’s still a slot that will appeal to anyone interested in biology and the origins of life. It’s extremely well thought out and very relaxing to play.
