10,000 BC DoubleMax Slot Review 2024

10,000 BC DoubleMax from the wonderfully inventive 4ThePlayer goes prehistoric in their latest landmark instalment as the first game to make use of both Gigablox and Doublemax. We may be going back in time, but 4ThePlayer are going forward in their innovative journey once more in a slot where mammoths meet mammoth potential with two popular slot features

Each of the features are frighteningly capable at maximum throttle, so you can only imagine what carnage both of them together may bring.

Let’s check it out and see for ourselves.

10,000 BC DoubleMax Base Game and Features

10,000 BC DoubleMax is a 5-reel Video Slot with 50 fixed pay lines featuring the GigaBlox mechanic. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.00% and a max win cap of 10,000x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Mammoth, followed by the Saber-toothed Tiger, Rhino, Wolf, and Bear. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters.

DoubleMax & GigaBlox

Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols are removed from the reels, and new symbols will drop down from above.

Once this happens, a Wild symbol is added to 1 or more random reel positions before all other empty positions are filled with new symbols. Each new win will Double the Win Multiplier, resetting back to x1 with each new base game spin.

Also in play are GigaBlox symbols. GigaBlox symbols are giant symbols from the paytable that can land randomly on enlarged reels.

Golden Bet

Before you begin spinning, you will be given the option to activate the Golden Bet feature. Choosing to activate this feature will increase your current bet by 25%. Once active, your chance of triggering the Free Spins round is Doubled.

10,000 BC DoubleMax Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Scatters across the reels during the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 7 Free Spins. Scatters can appear as part of a giant GigaBlox symbol.

During Free Spins, the Win Multiplier is active and does not reset between spins. In addition to this, 4ThePlayer has thrown in 2 exciting features that make the Free Spins round much more appealing.

• Mammoth Explode Feature – On any random losing Free Spin, the Mammoth can attack the reels, destroying a number of reel symbols. This will trigger new symbols to drop down from above, awarding a guaranteed win. Once this happens, the Win Multiplier will also climb.
• Mammoth Shuffle Feature – On any random free spin where a giant GigaBlox symbol appears on the rightmost reels, without forming a win, the Mammoth will attack the reels and push the GigaBlox reel to the left, triggering a guaranteed win. On subsequent Repsins, the GigaBlox reel will move 1 reel back to the right.

10,000 BC DoubleMax Bonus Buy

Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. 4ThePlayer has granted players access to the Free Spins round for a total cost of 100x your bet. 

10,000 BC DoubleMax: Our Verdict

10,000 BC DoubleMax was, as expected, very entertaining. We think 4ThePlayer deserves more recognition for daring to do something different and effective in a meaningful way. They may not reinvent the wheel each and every time, but their portfolio is proof enough that clever tweaks and the merging of popular mechanics can be enough to create an entirely new experience.

The DoubleMax Feature is insane when it reaches the higher multipliers, and the Gigablox feature just makes it complete. It’s as if the two were always supposed to be together, yet nobody realised it until now.

Statistically, 10,000 BC DoubleMax looks very attractive with up to 10,000x as a maximum win. We’d love to see it max out, and we have a feeling that it will given its arsenal of effective features.

Overall, 10,000 BC DoubleMax stands tall as a proud and attractive prospect to those looking for some 4ThePlayer action, even if it is 12,000 years old.
