Mount M (Play’n GO) – Review & Demo Play

Mount M Slot Overview

Mount M drops me into a deserted winter landscape with ice and snow, where mammoths, sabre-tooth tigers and other tough-skinned animals try to help land big hits. The action runs on 5 reels with 4 to 8 rows and 1,024 to 8,192 ways to win. Wild symbols can carry orbs and expand the middle reels, while upgrades push premiums towards mammoths. It is a Play’n GO video slot with very high volatility, a max win of 13,000x, and an RTP set at 96.25% on the default model.

Bets start at 0.10 and rise to 100 per spin, and I had no trouble playing on desktop and mobile. From the first reel leftwards, at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels form wins. The grid begins with 1,024 ways, then the centre reels can expand up to eight rows when highlighted wilds hit. That not only lifts the ways to 8,192, it also initiates symbol upgrades, which becomes a theme again later in Evolution Free Spins.

Mount M Slot Information

The lower-paying symbols are J, Q, K and A, crafted from animal teeth, paying up to 0.3x for a five-of-a-kind. Higher-paying symbols are a bird, a hyena-looking creature or wolf, a buffalo-looking animal with rhino horns, a sabre-tooth tiger, and the mammoth, awarding 0.5x to 2x for five. A golden W wild lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, substituting all except the scatter. The scatter appears as a burning campfire on all reels and is your entry to Evolution Free Spins.

Mount M Slot Features

Watch for a frozen frame around reels 2, 3 and 4 at the start of a spin. Landing a wild inside the marked area can trigger the Expanding Reels, also known as a Shatter Respin. The centre reels then grow by 1 to 4 rows, taking the layout as high as 4-8-8-8-4 and creating up to 8,192 ways. For every extra row, one of the premiums upgrades to mammoth, starting with the lowest. A single respin follows, which can whiff or set up stacked mammoth hits.

Hitting three, four or five scatters anywhere triggers 10, 15 or 20 Evolution Free Spins. During the feature, two to five scatters can add 3, 5, 8 or 10 extra spins, capped at 68. The round starts on the default 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways. Any expansion achieved in the bonus remains active for the rest of the free spins, which means the ways rise step by step and the upgrades stick, improving the odds of landing sizeable combinations as the round develops.

All wilds in the bonus can carry orbs that fill frozen rows above reels 2, 3 and 4. When all positions on a row are covered, the ice shatters and an extra row opens, awarding a spin and upgrading one premium to mammoth. You need 5 orbs for the first row, then 10, 14 and 17 in total for the next three. Once fully expanded, only mammoths and royals remain on the reels, and that is the best window to reach wins up to 13,000x.

Mount M Final Verdict

Mount M paints a harsh ice age scene, yet the gameplay kept me engaged. I like the setup of Evolution Free Spins using the same expanding reels learned in the base game, where each new row also upgrades symbols so every spin feels more valuable. The 1,024 ways that can stretch to 8,192 work well, even if line pays are modest. Win potential at 13,000x is strong, volatility is very high, and the RTP sits at 96.25% with lower settings at 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% or 84.25%.
