Yggdrasil Releases Raptor 3 DoubleMax, the Latest Game in the Raptor Series

Yggdrasil has added a new game to its popular Raptor series. Raptor 3 DoubleMax has a larger and better structure than the company's previous games, according to the company. The game is set in the Mesozoic Era, when creatures ruled the world long before humans.

The game features dinosaurs such as Ankylosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Centrosaurus and Brachiosaurus. Low-paying symbols appear as images of insects and plants trapped inside colorful resin stones. Symbols pay anywhere on the grid as long as they appear on consecutive reels. In the base game, this means 243 paylines. In the Free Spin bonus game, the number reaches 16,807 lines.

The raptor that gives the game its name appears as the Wild symbol. Wild symbols do not drop directly, but are awarded through the Avalanche mechanic after a win. Winning symbols are removed from the grid and replaced by a single Wild and new symbols. Each consecutive Avalanche raises the DoubleMax multiplier by one level.

In the randomly triggered Predator Strike feature, a raptor head emerges from the bushes at the edge of the grid and attacks it. The Claws effect skips one multiplier level, allowing multipliers to build up quickly. The Roar effect instantly raises the current DoubleMax multiplier by one level on the ladder.

Free Spins require 3, 4 or 5 dinosaur egg Scatter symbols. These numbers award 5, 7 or 9 free spins respectively. In some cases the grid expands. If 3 to 5 additional Scatters land during the feature, Last Bite activates, destroys the existing Scatters, triggers an Avalanche and awards extra spins. Where permitted, players can buy the feature directly.
