Primal Hunt Slot Review
Primal Hunt by Betsoft released in September 2020 looks like a prequel to another great game by the provider, 2 Million B.C. – or to what is nowadays is known as the history of mankind. Primal Hunt tells the story about Earth ruled by megafauna like cave lions, cave bears and mastodons while early humans kept the low profile and fell prey to animals more often than the other way round. As always, BetSoft Gaming managed to develop a concept into an epic adventure presented in cutting-edge graphics, stunning 3D animation and supported by immersive soundtrack touching upon the oldest areas of the brain. This is how the 5-reel 80-lines Primal Hunt slot emerged and appeared in online casinos along with a chance to win up to x96 a bet in a base game or run up to 20 free spins with a win multiplier up to x27! All the excellence of design and winning opportunities are available to players from Canada stationed at home or travelling as the slot is perfectly okay with desktops and Windows, Android and iOS mobile devices.Gameplay, symbols and payouts
In those times humans and animals were fighting for resources among which food and shelter were the ultimate ones. The top goal of the video slot is to win the cave occupied by a fierce cave lion in order to save lives of a few humans which in the long run would give birth to the humanity as such. This dramatic plot is unfolding on 5 reels and 80 fixed lines so to start the play it is required to set a total bet only. The bet is adjustable within a range from C$0.2 to C$22 per spin which is fine for many players from Canada but probably cannot attract high rollers. In online casinos supporting bitcoin as a banking option the slot machine accepts stakes in bitcoin as well.
The story is told and wins are brought by symbols including 11 regular icons, a Wild and a Scatter. Non-feature icons are 4 playing cards from J to A, 4 stone tokens with rock paintings depicting prehistoric herbivores, a stone Axe, a stone Spear and a Cave Lion. These icons pay between x0.1 and x10 the total bet. This is not the highest paytable found in online casinos nowadays, of course, but regular icons tend to appear in a stacked position, so entire reels are often covered by matching icons which somewhat compensates for the low paytable.
Wilds land on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitute for any playing card, token, tool or animal but cannot do this for a Scatter. Wilds do not pay in any game mode but they have a valuable bonus which manifests itself during free spins. In fact, they also have an inherent bonus active in the base game: just like regular icons, Wilds appear stacked. Given the ability of normal icons to do the same, one may expect decent wins when stacked Wilds appear side by side with stacked non-feature icons.
Scatters are the best moneymakers and excellent bonus triggers. Landing three or more scatters, players earn between x8 and x96 the total bet and deserve a Hunting Cave Lion free spin feature.

This is beyond any doubt the climax of the online casino game and its best part in terms of winning opportunities. Depending on the number of scatters in the triggering spin, the slot machine awards 8, 12 or 20 free spins which start right away. This is when wilds manifest their bonus hidden during the base game. Wilds become x2 and x3 multipliers; when they appear on the reels, their values are multiplied by other wild multipliers.
Chances are to get as many as three x3 wild multipliers and boost the win by x27 (3x3x3) which is the best gift they can offer. This amazing solution may result in line wins up to x270 a bet in a single spin or up to C$5,940 at max if the online casino game is played for real money.
There is one more bonus effective only during free spins. In this mode the top predator Cave Lion is actively present on the reels and pays in any position (because it is a scatter). Given the chance to hit Wild multipliers totaling to x27 and Cave Lion’s ability to pay in any position, free spins may bring up to x2,592 a bet.
Summary
Primal Hunt is a spectacular 5-reel 80-line game slot machine by Betsoft developing the theme of struggle of prehistoric predators and early humans. While this struggle is tough, the stakes are not too high, up to C$22 per spin. The max win of x96 the total bet is provided by scatters. Free spins are more generous as wilds become x2 and x3 multipliers and may multiply winnings by 27.
