Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades Slot Overview

Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades is a casino slot from Gaming Corps that offers a chill day by the water where a group of beavers are building a grand dam.

With games like Wild Woof and Mighty Mammoth, Gaming Corps has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. They’ve done a great job of creating games with proven-to-work mechanics but with their own twists and tweaks. In this upcoming game that has way too long of a title for us to write out every time, we believe that the developers have been inspired by a legendary game by the name of Finn and the Swirly Spin. We loved the mechanics of that, but due to quite low volatility, it didn’t have much longevity. This one seems a lot more hard-hitting, so we enter this review with high expectations. Let’s dig in!

Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades Slot Overview

Gaming Corps has cooked up a pretty frame with an impressive dam built by the three protagonists. We didn’t see them building it live, so we’re just assuming here.

Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades can be played on most common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s lines, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols include clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts. A full line of 5 with one of these pays 0.5x-0.75x the bet. The higher-paying symbols consist of chisels, measuring tapes, saws, axes, and hammers. Five-of-a-kind with these pays 1x-5x the bet. The Wild Beaver symbols can substitute for other paying symbols and help trigger various features. The wooden crosses are dead symbols but can increase the multiplier.

A-Maze Cades

After every win, the winning symbols are eliminated. Existing symbols will follow a unique pattern and move through the grid, towards the EXIT position. New symbols will then drop in from the right-most reel to fill the grid.

Wild Beaver Symbols

There are 3 Beaver symbols: red, blue, and yellow. Beaver symbols are Wild and substitute for all winning symbols. Beaver symbols are not removed from the grid after forming a winning combination; they are collected and removed from the grid when they land in the Exit position. When they land in the Exit position, their corresponding features will trigger. The red, blue, and yellow beavers trigger the Dynamite Blast, X-treme Cut, and Combo Clear, respectively. 

Dynamite Blast

During the Dynamite Blast feature, up to 3 Dynamite symbols are added to the grid. All symbols adjacent to the Dynamite symbol, except Beaver symbols, are eliminated. Then, the Dynamite symbol becomes a Wild.

X-Treme Cut

During the X-Treme Cut feature, all symbols on the X-shaped pattern displayed across the grid are eliminated. Up to 5 Wild symbols may be added to the grid.

Combo Clear

During the Combo Clear feature, up to 3 unique Symbols are selected. All instances of the selected symbols are then eliminated from the grid. Up to 5 Wild symbols may then be added to the grid.

Multiplier Meter

The Multiplier feature is a progress meter with an upgradable total win multiplier, awarded to any subsequent wins. Collecting wooden crosses or non-beaver symbols, advances the progress meter by 1 point per symbol collected. When the meter is filled, the win multiplier is upgraded to the next level. The default value of the win multiplier is x1. It may be upgraded up to x10. The upgrade thresholds are x2, x3, x4, x5, and x10. 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 points are required, respectively, per threshold. The previous threshold must be achieved before progressing towards the next one (x2 > x3 > x4 >x5 >10). The Multiplier resets to 1x every spin. 

Dam Flood

The Dam Flood feature may be triggered when no wins are formed, adding Wilds to the grid.

Free Spins

Landing a Beaver symbol with Free Spins written on it, and then having it reach the Exit position, triggers the Free Spins feature. You are awarded 4 spins and can choose to gamble for 2 extra spins, but if you lose, you lose all spins. 

During Free Spins, the multiplier is persistent. If all Beaver symbols are collected in the same spin, you are awarded +4 Free Spins, and the win multiplier of all Beaver symbols is increased by 1.

Feature Buys

If you want some quick action, the following feature buys are up for grabs:

80x = Triggers the Free Spins with 4 Spins.

140x = Triggers the Free Spins with 6 Spins.

Extra Bet

The Extra Bet (Hot Bet) can be activated at an additional cost of 100% of your bet per spin. This guarantees a Beaver symbol in the middle position and triples your chance to trigger Free Spins.

Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades Slot Conclusion

Upon starting this game for the first time, we got a bonus within the first ten spins or so. 28 minutes later, the bonus was over. Now, 28 minutes is a very long time for a bonus round, but we never found ourselves bored of it. It also paid around 1000x, so it won’t be the standard time frame, but it takes quite some time. The constant connections and features make it bearable, though, so if anything, we’re positive toward this since it’s not too common.

It does however also come with a downside. Some base game spins take a long time as well, sometimes not resulting in anything at all except a tiny win, which makes it feel a bit pointless. But Gaming Corps has really tried to create something new here, and we appreciate that. Sure, the similarities to Netent’s Finn series are strong, but it’s a mechanic that never got as much attention as we think it should’ve. On top of that, Wet and Wild Beavers hits way harder. As we mentioned, we had a 1000x win on our first bonus, which is more than the max win in Finn. Our suggestion is also that, if you choose to play this, try out the Extra Bet. It makes the game smoother with more connections, and the bonus lands a lot more frequently. All in all, we had a blast trying out Wet and Wild Beavers, despite rather slow gameplay, and we hope that Gaming Corps explores the mechanic even further.

Wet and Wild Beavers A-Maze-Cades from Gaming Corps takes you on a spinny adventure by a lovely dam, where three furry protagonists have set up camp.
