Slot Features
During the expedition you can expect to find Sticky Wilds, Stacked Wilds, a nifty little side game with stones and, of course, free spins round. As it usually happens, when a game has a Wild, it comes with the abilities to substitute for all the symbols in the game to help form win combos, and the only symbol it cannot replace is the Mask symbol. Wilds in the game are Carl and Lisa.
Free Spins
Free Spins are triggered by one or both Wilds appearing fully stacked on their reels, and any partially visible stacked Wild will sub in the relevant line wins, but will not trigger the Free Spins round nor turn Sticky.
When a Stacked Wild appears fully stacked it will trigger the round and award 10 spins while turning sticky and remaining on the grid till the round ends. If, you hit another fully Stacked Wild during the round, you will get additional 25 spins with another Sticky Wild remaining on the grid till the round ends. If both stacked Wilds appear fully stacked in a single spin, then you will get 35 spins with both Wilds turning Sticky.
Mancala Side Board
Once you load the game you will notice the game board with stones displayed left from the reels that consists of 6 cups and 4 stones in each cup. Bottom and top of the board have to counters for the Stones that are collected for your and the opponent.
At any point when the Mask symbol appears on reel 3, one round of the Mancala Board will be triggered. A round consists of a full turn of both your and the opponent, and it will start with the cup on your side of the board being chosen randomly and moving counterclockwise in the direction on the game board. All the stones from the chosen cup will get placed on into each adjacent cup one by one until the last stone has been placed. Any time the last one gets placed in your turn will get collected and you will get another turn.
This same behavior goes on the opponent’s side as well. When the stones move around the board, both you and the opponent will always skip over the opposing store.
If the last stone placed ends in an empty cup on the same side as the player whose turn it is, while the opposing cup contains any stones, both the last stone placed and the ones from the opposing cup will get placed in the store of the player who has the turn. The round ends when all 6 cups on either side are empty. Once all the stones get collected, the one with the most stones wins and there are 3 outcomes – win, draw or loss.
If you win the total winnings will be multiplied by an amount determined by how many stones there are in opponents store and you will get 15 spins. If it is a Draw, you will still get 15 spins but the total multiplier is x2, and if you lose, you will get 15 spins but the multiplier will be based on a total bet.
Summary
Mancala Quest is one of those exquisite looking slots with amazing artwork and very interesting mechanics. Slot pays both ways and has one very interesting and innovative feature although it may sound somewhat complicated on paper. The game can be played on any device you choose and it comes with the RTP that is set to 95% which is less than the industry average. However, the max win cap may compensate for this as it is set to x9200 the bet. Overall, we liked what we saw, so give it a chance yourself and let us know what you think of it.
