Mutagenes

Could gene editing to create perfect-looking humans lead to a society of uniformly sculpted, blemish-free individuals? For now, humanity remains far from this reality, but Peter & Sons' slot, Mutagenes, sparks these intriguing thoughts with its imaginative premise.

Set in the vast expanse of space, Mutagenes transports players to a futuristic lab where scientists work tirelessly to engineer next-generation humanoids. This wacky workshop serves as the game's backdrop, featuring specimens in vats, monitors, and various lab equipment. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by a snappy soundtrack and vibrant visual effects, making the game feel like a test tube marvel brought to life.

Base Game

Mutagenes operates on a 6-reel, 4-row grid with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by matching symbols on at least three adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The game boasts high volatility and offers multiple RTP configurations, with the highest being 96.3%. Players can place bets ranging from 10 cents to CA$50 per spin. There's also a Golden Bet option that increases the stake by 50%, improving the chances of triggering free spins.

Symbols and Paytable

The paytable features four card suits as low-paying symbols, each worth 0.5x the bet for a six-of-a-kind win. Mid-paying symbols include syringes, hands, eyes in bottles, and brains in jars, offering payouts of 0.8 to 0.9 times the bet for six-of-a-kind combinations. High-paying symbols are represented by two character icons, rewarding 3 to 4 times the stake for six matching symbols. Wild symbols, which substitute for all but the scatter symbols, appear on all reels except the leftmost one.

Special Features

Mutagenes offers several engaging features to enhance gameplay:

Cascade Feature

Winning symbols explode and are replaced by new ones cascading from above. Each new cascade increases the total win multiplier by +1, which resets to x1 when no more cascading wins occur.

Infection & Mutation

Infection: Randomly triggers in the base game or free spins, replacing any mid or low-pay symbol with a high-pay symbol.

Mutation: Also triggers randomly, selecting 2 or more reels and filling them with high-pay symbols before revealing the remaining symbols.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 10, 12, 14, or 15 free spins, respectively. Free spins feature the same cascading and increasing win multiplier mechanic as the base game, but the multiplier does not reset until the bonus round ends. Additionally, expanding wild symbols may appear, covering entire reels (except the leftmost reel). Free spins cannot be retriggered, as scatter symbols do not appear during the bonus.

Free Spins Buy

Players can purchase access to the free spins round for 120x the bet, receiving 7 to 12 free spins with an RTP of 96.7%.
