Introduction to Jumpasaurs!
Jumpasaurs! is a casino slot from Jinx Gaming. This is the second game from this new studio, following up on the debut slot Dead Headz. Although Jinx Gaming is new to the game, it is connected to Hacksaw Gaming and uses the studio’s typical 5x5 setup with 19 paylines. However, Jumpasaurs! is nothing like the previous, more violent game, where you shoot zombies in the bonus game.
This release is a flirt, or maybe more of a celebration, or video games from the late 80s and early 90s, with the game’s logo being so pixelated that it’s almost hard to read. Below each of the 5 reels are large pipes that look like they’re straight out of Super Mario Bros. On the pipes stand dinosaurs that can jump and reveal Mystery Symbols that award coins, wilds, or a Scatter Symbol that triggers the Free Spins.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Jumpasaurs! is a video slot from Jinx Gaming featuring 5 reels with 4 rows and 19 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 100. The game’s default RTP is 96.28%, but you can also come across another version of 94.27%. Jumposaurs! has mid-high volatility, and a max win capped at 10,000x the bet. With a hit frequency of 28.70%, you score wins on more than one spin in four.
The game looks just like a retro video game from the early 90s, and the look is accompanied by music that makes us think of arcade halls. We’re outside on a big grass field with the five brown reels standing in the middle of the screen. Below them are five tubes, similar to the ones in Super Mario Bros, and on some tubes are colorful dinosaurs hanging out. To the left is a little pond with a dinosaur head fountain, and in the background are some tall mountains. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on one of the 19 paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and the game can be played on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Jumpasaurs! are grapes, cherries, lemons, oranges, and apples. They pay between 2x and 5x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are four-leaf clovers, horseshoes, bells, and 7s. These symbols will give you between 25x and 100x the bet for wins containing 5 symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Mystery, Coin, and Scatter Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Jumpasaurs!?
You can win up to 10,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Jumpasaurs!?
The features are Activated Reels & Mystery Symbols, Wild Symbol, Extinction Spins Bonus Game, and Feature Buy.
Activated Reels & Mystery Symbols
Between one and three reels are activated on every spin in the base game. You will see which reels are activated because they’ll have a dinosaur beneath them. When a mystery symbol lands on an activated reel, the dinosaur beneath will jump to reveal either a coin, a wild, a wild multiplier, or a scatter symbol. Mystery symbols on unactivated reels are never opened.
A Mystery Symbol can reveal between 1 and 10 coins in bronze, silver, or gold. Bronze coins can have values between 1x and 8x, silver coins between 10x and 50x, while gold coins are always worth 100x. When coins are revealed by a mystery symbol, their values are added together and paid out as a cash prize.
Wild Symbol
Wild symbols can be revealed by Mystery Symbols. They substitute for all regular-paying symbols in making wins on paylines. However, they don’t substitute mystery symbols, coins, or scatter symbols.
Wild symbols may also be upgraded with multipliers ranging from 2x to 20x. When more than one wild multiplier appears on a winning line, their multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win.
Extinction Spins Bonus Game
The Extinction Spins Bonus Game is triggered whenever a dinosaur reveals a Scatter Symbol when unlocking a Mystery Symbol. The feature starts with 8 spins, and you keep all the features from the base game. All reels are activated during the feature, which means that every mystery symbol that lands is guaranteed to be collected.
Mystery symbols during extinction spins work the same way as in the base game, revealing coins, wild symbols, wild multipliers, or scatters. Any scatter awards two extra spins.
Feature Buy
You can purchase a ticket to the Extinction Spins for the neat price of 100x the bet.
Final Thoughts on Jumpasaurs!
Jumpasaurs! is a game of chunky pixels and an arcade-style soundtrack, where cheerful dinosaurs pop out of pipes to open Mystery Symbols. The game feels like a love letter to old-school gaming, hinting at several classic video games without totally copying any of them. The mechanics are easy to follow, when you get the hang of how the jumping dinosaurs work; if there’s a dinosaur on the reel beneath a Mystery Symbol, it will jump and open it. The graphics work great, although some players may find the retro style ugly and dated, especially younger players who never experienced the early video games.
The Extinction Spins bonus is the clear star of the show, turning every reel fully active and giving mystery symbols their moment to shine, while the Feature Buy makes it easy for impatient players to skip straight to the chaos. We also appreciate the good mix of risk and win potential with mid-high volatility and a 10,000x max win.
Jumpasaurs! from Jinx Gaming is a colorful, retro-inspired slot that mixes simple gameplay with clever features and a sense of humor. It’s perfect for anyone who wants some nostalgic vibes.
