Avalanche

Each time a winning combination occurs, they are removed from the reel set. New symbols will drop in from above, filling all empty positions left behind.

This continues until no more winning sequences occur for that spin. In addition, each new Avalanche increases the current Global Multiplier by +x1. At the start of a new spin, the Global Multiplier resets to x1.

Expanding Wilds

During gameplay, special Expanding Wilds may land, covering the entire reel they are on until it is fully expanded. Expanding symbols can appear on all reels except the first in the base game and Free Spins.

Infection

During a game round, any Low-paying symbol from the panel can be randomly replaced by a High-paying symbol. This feature can be randomly triggered in the base game and Free Spins round.

Golden Bet

Before or after any game round, players can activate the Golden Bet for an additional 0.5x their current bet. Once active, your chances of landing an Expanding Wild symbol are higher, as are your chances of triggering Free Spins.

Bonus Buy

Where applicable, players can jump straight into the Free Spins round for an additional 120x their bet. Once activated, you will receive between 7 and 13 Free Spins.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 7, 9, 11, and 13 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, a special Global Multiplier is applied to all wins, starting from x1. Each win that occurs will increase the current Multiplier by +x1 and will remain in play throughout the round. Scatter symbols are not in play during this time.

Conclusion

Peter & Sons are careful cultivators of slots that turn heads, and Mutagenes is yet another to stand out. Few others craft visually outstanding games like Peter & Sons, and their dependability and proficiency in making interesting and captivating titles are quite commendable. The Infection and Mutation features keep the base game ticking over quite nicely, but we’d have liked to see a couple of other bells and whistles to expand a little more to take it from good to great.

Free Spins ups the ante as it should with a multiplier that does not reset and expands wild symbols. but none of the features are particularly groundbreaking, nor do they outshine any of Peter & Son’s previous creations.

Overall, it’s a simple but solid game with proven features and excellent potential. It won’t impress those in search of innovation, but it isn’t without its charm.
