Mutagenes Slot Information

The game is set inside a laboratory in the quiet void of space, with various alien lifeforms in tanks full of unknown liquid. Although the game is aiming for a bit of a creepy horror factor, this is Peter & Sons we are talking about, and as we all know, they are well known for their cartoony, colorful style. This makes the game a funny play on the typical scary Alien themes, even with the reels being full of dismembered body parts. Mutagenes can be played on most mobiles, notepads, and desktops. Wins are made by landing 3 or more identical symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts. Landing 6 of the same symbols will pay 0.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are syringes, hands, eyes, brains, skulls, and dismembered heads. Hitting 6 of the same symbols will pay out 0.8X to 4X the bet. On the reels, you can also find Wild symbols, some of which will expand on the reels, Scatter symbols, and infections. Let’s take a closer look at these special symbols and features in the next section!

The Infection feature can be randomly triggered at any spin in the Base and Free Spins bonus. When triggered, any low-paying symbol can be randomly transformed into a higher-paying symbol.

Free Spins

Mutagenes Slot Conclusion

Mutagenes come with vibrant colors, bright lights, and cartoon graphics, making this an incredibly pleasing game to sit down with, especially with the funky sci-fi soundtrack as a cherry on top. We have seen previous horror-type games from Peter & Sons, like Ghost Father and Voodoo Hex, but with the non-serious and lighthearted twist that most Peter & Sons games come with. You can see the incredible attention to detail from the symbols on the reels moving to the beautiful background and twitching aliens in the tanks. Graphics-wise, there are very few things to complain about, which is to be expected from Peter & Sons’ experience and skills in creating amazing and unique-looking games. 

In the game, you have multiple features that can help you generate wins, from infections to expanding wilds, and especially the cascades. The bigger wins, of course, come from having high multipliers, but thanks to the game's high volatility, your chances of chaining wins through cascades can lead to considerable payouts in both the base game and the Free Spins feature. This makes the game feel well-balanced, as you can still generate money back without having to slog through base game spins until you hit the 3 necessary Scatter symbols. Don’t get us wrong, the Free Spins feature will still make it easier to get a few big wins, but the base game still has some hidden potential to maybe get you closer to the max win of 12,000X the bet.

Mutagenes is a slot with high volatility that can lead to crazy multipliers and chain wins by creating the perfect experiments
