Weird Science

Weird Science opens the door to a mad scientist's laboratory, with bubbling vials, a rat, a frog, an octopus and a row of microscopes on the reels. Habanero set the experiment on 5 reels and 3 rows, with 25 adjustable paylines and medium volatility. Stakes run from €0.25 to €125, the top win is €135,327, and the RTP can be set to 93.53% or 95.87%.

The scientist is the key symbol. As the wild he triples every win he helps complete, and he also triggers the free games: when at least one scientist lands on both reel 1 and reel 5, the player receives 4 free games for each scientist in the combination, all with a 3x multiplier. A glowing orb serves as the scatter. The trigger is easy to follow, which suits players who like to see a bonus coming.

The scientist pays up to 5,000 coins for five on a line. Test tubes, a rat, a frog, octopuses, microscopes, magnifying glasses and a jar complete the line-up, with the smallest wins at 5 coins for three. The bet level runs from 1 to 10 and the coin value from 0.01 to 20.

• Wild: the scientist replaces every symbol except the scatter and triples the wins he completes.
• Scatter: the orb pays 2x the total bet for two and up to 100x.
• Free games: at least one scientist on both reels 1 and 5 awards 4 free games per scientist in the triggering combination, with all prizes tripled.
