Slot Features
The Mask slot has great game mechanics and it offers quite a few interesting features that will have you entertained for hours, and with a bit of luck, award you abundantly.
The regular Wild symbol is masked Stanley, or rather Loki. Wild can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter. Wild can also form win lines on its own if you land 2 or more Wilds on the active payline.
Random Wild Features
The Mask has 4 different Random Wild features: Alarm Block, In a Spin, By the Horn, Mask Unmask, and they can be randomly triggered at the beginning of any spin.
In the Alarm Block feature, the alarm clock will appear bouncing around the reel window. Hammer will destroy it at a random onscreen feature leaving a 2x2 Wild Block. The Wild Block supersedes all symbols landing in corresponding reel positions.
In the In a Spin feature the Mask will appear and turn into a whirlwind that will swirl back and forth across the reels. Whirlwind can randomly turn any Tina, Milo, Moneybags, Hat, A, K, Q and J symbols into a Wild symbol. Symbols turn into Wild on up to 3 reels per trigger.
In By the Horn, the Mask appears and squeezes the Horn whose blast will turn selected symbols into Wilds. Symbols on up to 4 reels may turn Wild per trigger.
When the Mask Unmask feature kicks in, Milo will place a Mask over a random 3x3 section of the reel window. All Stanley symbols covered by Mask will turn into Wild symbols.
Free Games
If you manage to land 3 or more Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels, you will trigger the free spins feature, and win 10, 15 or 25 spins. All Wilds are randomly multiplied during the feature by x2, x3, x4 o x5. The Random Wild feature frequency increases during the Free Games. In addition, there’s the possibility of winning up to 5 extra spins at random when 1 or 2 Bonus symbols appear on the reels.
Summary
The Mask slot can be described in one word, and to borrow those from Stanley Ipkiss, smokin’! All the chaos from the movie has been brought to reels with a success and NextGen really did a good job here. With plenty of in-game action, a bunch of features, the 96.52% RTP and medium variance this slot promises to become as iconic as the movie itself.
Somebody stop me!!! – If you do not know that quote then you know you too young to know this movie and to be playing this new slot from NextGen gaming. The mask was a great movie and Jim Carrey himself was a brilliant actor at the time, in fact one of my favourite actors.
The Mask is a 5 reel, 20 pay line slot powered by NextGen Gaming. The game has been created in co-operation with Warner Brothers and is based on the 90s classic movie "The Mask". The slot comes with 4 randomly triggered wild features as well as free spins where you can get multipliers up to 5x when a wild is part of a win.
The graphics and animation of the mask looks superb with symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 playing cards as well as the mask’s hat, milo the dog and money bags. You will also see characters Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz and The Mask himself.
The latter is the wild symbol and replaces all symbols but the bonus scatter. You will also see clips from the film when you get winning combinations. Wins are paid both ways pays and that makes this slot great as well.
The game comes with 4 randomly triggered wild features. The first 2 are randomly activated before a spin takes place:
• Alarm Block feature – the Alarm Clock bounces around the reels. If the Hammer destroys the Alarm Clock, a 2×2 wild block will be added in its place.
• In A Spin feature – The Mask appears and turns into a whirlwind swirling back and forth. The Whirlwind can randomly turn all Tina, Milo, Moneybags, Hat, A, K, Q, KJ and 10 symbols into wilds on certain reels. You can benefit from wild symbols on up to 3 reels.
The following 2 features can be randomly activated at the end of any base game spin:
• By the Horn feature – The Mask appears and squeezes Horn. The Horn Blast turns selected symbols into wilds with symbols on up to 4 reels turning wild every time this feature is triggered.
• Mask Unmask feature – Milo appears and places Mask over a random 3×3 section on the reel set. All Stanley symbols covered by Mask become wild.
The main attraction in The Mask is the free games bonus feature which is played when you get 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatters anywhere on the reels – you will then get 10, 15 or 25 free spins respectively. Look out for The Mask wild symbol as any win involving a wild will multiply your win by 2x, 3x, 4x or even 5x. The multiplier is randomly chosen. Look out for the scatter appearing as 1 or 2 will see masked milo appear and award up to 5 extra free spins. The game has unlimited free spins re-trigger. The above mentioned random features come often during the free spins creating even bigger wins.
I like this slot, but the base game can pay nothing at most times, only the random features make up for it. Difficult to win x100 but the game is fun and entertaining enough making it worth my dime.
