Introduction to Vegan Nightmare
Vegan Nightmare is a casino slot from Just Slots, where we find ourselves back in prehistoric times. Here, there’s no salad bar, as we join a caveman and his trusty pet dinosaur in a feast for the primitive ages. As soon as you enter the game, you’re met by the hungry dinosaur who sits next to the playing grid, eagerly awaiting you to line up wins of some juicy food and wins. Not to sound all too pessimistic, but the game does come with a rather tame and basic theme, which we usually applaud the studio for being good with, as seen with games like Fish Mafia and Unholy Mystery, but here, there isn’t much outside of various food-related items. But on the other hand, we got some pretty wild features, as in, they’re mostly centered around the Multiplier Wild Symbols, with Multiplier values of up to 100X. While they may appear on just about any spin in the base game, they really shine in the Free Spins bonus game, where all Wilds are sticky, and you may even enter the bonus game with a few of your own, to help kickstart your hunt for the max win of 10,000X the bet.
Learn how to feast like a dinosaur while taking home Multiplied Wins thanks to the many Wild Symbols spread over the reels. If you want to check out the game for yourself, then be sure to give the Vegan Nightmare demo a try.

Final Thoughts on Vegan Nightmare
While Just Slots has delivered on some pretty interesting themes lately, such as Fish Mafia and Dynamo’s Show, Vegan Nightmare prides itself on its humorous anti-veganism stance, even though the game only features about 4 different types of meat. When we first started the game, we were thinking of something over-the-top and comedic, like Karen Maneater, but this is really just a prehistoric-themed game with a slapped-on comedy title. We don’t think that the game completely missed the mark on its theme, but also, at the same time, it wasn’t really that well executed, and we kinda hoped for a bit more. Visually, the game is fine at best, with a rather boring lineup of symbols, bland graphics, and the mascot of the game, the little dinosaur, doesn’t do much except have its mouth open. But is the gameplay good enough to save the game? Well, that’s usually subjective, but we’ll discuss the features in more depth in the next section.
Before anything else, we want to mention the stats, as we got an average RTP of 96.18%, a pretty high hit frequency of 34%, and a solid max win of 10,000X the bet. The game is all about its paylines, with a not-so-half-bad paytable, and at the core of the features are the Wild Symbols, which help create even more paylines and add Multipliers of up to 100X. This is a great foundation for the game, and it is one that we have seen thousands of times before. Built upon this is the Random Wild Bonus, which just adds extra Wild Symbols for a slightly more exciting spin whenever it decides to trigger. Then there is the Free Spins bonus game, which tries to make itself different from the base game by making all Wild Symbols sticky, and, to be honest, can lead to some pretty explosive bonuses, especially if the Random Wild Bonus triggers, but even so, it is still quite basic. We have no issues with games being simple, as there are even a few games out there that perfectly balance depth and simplicity, but Vegan Nightmare is not one of them. The game is not bad, it’s just lacking in a few areas, and is heavily carried by its Free Spins bonus game, which is the best part of the game. If you still want to try out the game for yourself, then don’t miss out on the Vegan Nightmare demo.
Vegan Nightmare is a slot centered around Multiplier Wild Symbols in its base game and Free Spins bonus game.
