Amazing Link Dakota Jones

Amazing Link Dakota Jones Slot Review

Three gold pillars carved with Aztec fretwork stand along the left of the reels, a waterfall spills past a stone pyramid on the right, and a fedora-wearing treasure hunter looms somewhere behind it all. Amazing Link Dakota Jones hides almost all of its payout potential where the paylines can’t reach: the reel wins are pocket change, and everything worth playing for arrives through features that can fire off symbols you never lined up at all.

SpinPlay Games have taken the Amazing Link engine, dressed it in adventure clothes and changed very little mechanically. It’s the same template that carried Amazing Link Athena and Amazing Link Riches. The numbers are familiar too: 96.49% RTP, medium-high volatility, a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines and stakes from 0.20 to 50.00 per spin.

Base Game & Features

This is a five-reel, three-row slot with 20 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination counts per line. Multiple winning combinations on a single payline pay just once, and the total payout is the sum of every line win in a spin.

The hit rate sits at 28.91%, which is a reasonable figure for a medium-high volatility game. The paytable is where the flatness sits. Here’s what each symbol pays as a multiple of your stake:

• Mask/Idol: 5x for five, 2x for four, 1x for three
• Golden Cup: 4x for five, 1x for four, 0.5x for three
• Binoculars and Compass: 3x for five, 0.5x for four, 0.3x for three
• A, K, Q: 2x for five, 0.4x for four, 0.2x for three
• J, 10, 9: 1x for five, 0.3x for four, 0.1x for three

The royals trickle out pocket change from there. It’s a paytable built to push value towards the features rather than line wins. Wild symbols are stacked on all reels, substitute for everything except Bonus and Amazing symbols, and can form winning combinations of their own. That’s the whole story on wilds in the base game.

Your total bet is divided across the 20 paylines, so every line is always in play and there’s no way to trim the cost by playing fewer. Autoplay is base game only, with adjustable spin counts, loss limits and win limits, and there’s a Quickspin option for faster reel resolution.

Amazing Link™

Six or more Amazing symbols anywhere on the reels, in the base game or free spins, trigger the Amazing Link feature. You get three respins. Every Amazing symbol locks in place, and each new one that lands resets the respins back to three. That reset is the whole engine of the round: a board that keeps hitting can snowball well past the three respins you started with.

Each Amazing symbol carries a cash prize or one of the MINI, MINOR or MAJOR jackpots, all paid at the end. The feature ends when the respins run out or every position fills. Fill every position and the MEGA jackpot is added on top of everything already on the board.

Amazing Boost™

Any Amazing symbol can randomly arrive as an Amazing Boost symbol. After every spin during the feature, all landed Boost symbols have their prizes raised by a random amount. The raise happens repeatedly, spin after spin, so a Boost symbol that sits locked on the board for a long round keeps climbing in value. It gives late respins something extra to chase.

Pick Feature

At the end of any base game spin that didn’t trigger free spins or Amazing Link, collecting Wild symbols can randomly fire the Pick feature. You’re shown a grid of icons and pick them one at a time:

• Match three MEGA, MAJOR, MINOR or MINI icons to win that jackpot
• A 2x, 3x or 5x on one of your matching icons multiplies the prize by that amount
• A Pick Feature autoplay button can select the icons for you

Amazing Link Dakota Jones Free Spins & Bonuses

Free Spins

Bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game, and all three trigger 10 free spins. Your bet and lines stay exactly as they were on the triggering spin.

The twist is the Amazing Wild Reel. On every free spin, one random reel turns entirely into Wild Amazing symbols, which substitute for everything except Bonus symbols. Any of those wilds can randomly be a Wild Amazing Boost symbol, boosting prizes after the spin in the same way the base Amazing Boost works during respins.

A guaranteed wild reel on every single spin is a genuinely strong bonus mechanic. There’s no retrigger, though: whatever lands during the round, those 10 spins are the lot.

Random Feature Triggers

The system holding the base game together is the collection mechanic. On any spin that doesn’t trigger Amazing Link or free spins the regular way, the symbols you’ve collected can randomly set a feature off anyway:

• Collecting Wilds can randomly trigger the Pick Feature
• Collecting Bonus symbols can randomly trigger Free Spins
• Collecting Amazing symbols can randomly trigger Amazing Link
• Only one random feature can fire on a single spin

What that means in practice is that a spin which lands nothing on the paylines can still open a feature. Four jackpots, three trigger routes and a respin round that resets give the game plenty of ways to pay you without ever lining up five idols. The collection animation that plays when symbols gather doesn’t influence whether the feature fires, so there’s no reading the tea leaves mid-spin.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

Playing Amazing Link Dakota Jones is mostly waiting in a very pretty jungle for something to go off. And things do go off: that’s the reason to pick it, because no spin is ever truly finished until the collections have been counted. The random triggers are the best thing here, full stop, and the reset-based respin round they feed gives a long board real momentum.

The weakness is the payoff end. Free spins won’t retrigger, and with no published ceiling of any kind, the four jackpots are the only summit the game admits to having. You’re playing for features, or you’re not playing for much.

Series fans and players who enjoy a patient build with frequent feature pops will feel right at home here. Anyone who wants a headline prize to chase should dig elsewhere. The treasure’s still in these ruins; it’s just buried deeper than the map suggests.
