About Mount M at BC.GAME

Play’n Go is trying to send unfriendly and dangerous vibes with every aspect of the game. Dominant cold colors in the graphics, an ominous soundtrack, and symbols that feature deadly fauna. It’s easy to get anxious while playing this game since the overall atmosphere and theme are telling you that it’s not a place to relax and take it easy. Altogether, the scene is ideally capturing the atmosphere of living in the Ice Age.

Introduction to Mount M at BC.GAME

Play’n Go is very popular for its expanding reels feature, and this game is exactly about it. The gameplay spins around players trying to expand the reels and the benefits that it brings. You start with 1024 different ways to win, which is already an unusual number. However, when the game is at its peak and reels have gained the maximum size, you will have an insane number of 8192 unique ways to receive a payout.

Symbols

Mount M at BC.GAME features 2 different sets of symbols. The first one is the low-paying one, which includes classic slot game symbols such as J, Q, K, and A. To form a winning combination, you need to land at least three adjacent symbols. If you manage to land five low-paying symbols simultaneously, then you’ll receive a payout of 0.3x your initial bet.
High-paying set of symbols includes wild animals from the Ice Age: dodos, hyenas, wooly rhinos, saber tooth tigers, and wooly mammoths. Landing five of them in one spin will form a winning combination with a payout from 0.5x to 2x your initial bet.

Wild Symbols

Mount M at BC.GAME includes another classic slot games feature - Wild Symbols. In this game, they’re depicted as golden symbols. Wild Symbols can substitute for any other symbol to form a winning combination. Meaning that if you land only 2 matching symbols, but you have a Wild Symbol next to them, you will still be awarded a payout. A second special feature of the Wild Symbols is that they can also activate The Shatter Respin Feature. But more on that later.

Shatter Respin

During a random time, the middle three reels will surprisingly become highlighted. If you land a Wild Symbol on any of these three reels while they’re highlighted, then the Shatter Respin will be activated. It means that the board will be expanded randomly by 1, 2, 3, or 4 reels. For each added reel, one of the high-paying symbols on the board will be transformed into the Mammoth Symbol. And if you were lucky enough, and all 4 reels were added, then only Mammoth Symbols, along with the low-paying symbols, will appear on the board.

Evolution Free Spins

Special Bonuses don’t end on the Shatter Respin. When you land multiple Scatter Symbols during the same spin, you will be awarded Free Spins.

• 3 Scatter Symbols - 10 Free Spins
• 4 Scatter Symbols - 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatter Symbols - 20 Free Spins
  

There’s also a retrigger feature in this bonus mode, meaning that landing more Scatter Symbols will get you additional Free spins.

• 2 Scatter Symbols - 3 additional Free Spins
• 3 Scatter Symbols - 5 additional Free Spins
• 4 Scatter Symbols - 8 additional Free Spins
• 5 Scatter Symbols - 10 additional Free Spins
  

The round initially starts with the default 5x4 board, and the main goal is to expand it, giving you more different ways to win. To do that, you need to collect Orb Overlays which land with every new Wild Symbol. The more orb Overlays you get, the more reels you will unlock.

• 5 orbs will unlock the first reel
• 10 orbs will unlock the second reel
• 14 orbs will unlock the third reel
• 17 orbs will unlock the last reel
  

Another pleasant feature is that whenever you unlock another reel, you will be awarded 1 free spin.

Strategy for Mount M

Keeping in mind that this is a high-volatility game, the winning combinations will land not that often. However, each of the combinations will guarantee you a very high payout. Because of this, we advise you to keep your bets comparatively low since the risk of losing your bet is pretty high. But there is time to unleash your urges to bet big and win serious prizes. And that’s when all of the reels are unlocked. The full board gives you an insane amount of possible win ways, so you’ll land winning combinations much more often. Another great time to bet bigger is when the Bonuses are activated: Evolution Free Spins can bring you much higher rewards without any risk whatsoever.

Summary

To be fair, Mount M at BC.GAME doesn’t bring any completely new mechanics into the market. However, games concentrated on the expanding reels feature are still pretty rare, so it's a very good opportunity to try unusual gameplay. We were pleasantly surprised by this game in terms of the game design: it would be a crime to not mention the stunning graphics and the overall setting of the game. So as always, figure out your betting strategy and conquer the infinite ice!
