Monster Lab Introduction
Monster Lab, from prolific game designers Evoplay, is a fabulous addition to the world of free pokies. It allows the player to become the mad scientist that they have always wished to be. The quirky fun starts from the off, with a very amusing animation that shows a silver-haired professor in front of various glass flasks bubbling away.
The experiment suddenly goes wrong and he is transformed into a cute purple monster. The music is clean, exciting and exactly characterises the exciting feeling of this pokie.
Simply pull the lever
To the right of the game screen is our newly transformed professor, standing behind a large metal contraption with a large lever. Just to the right him is the paytable, which when clicked on, fully explains all the game symbols and the bonus game. The cute reel icons are eleven little monsters that are in large bubbling boilers. They have been designed to be extremely endearing.
The bonus is a creature that looks like a bull, and the wild is simply the word WILD. The scatter is a series of red globules and if three, four or five are spun, it triggers between fifteen and twenty-five free spins. Just above this is a suspended computer screen which wishes the player good luck and encourages them to try again.
Let’s experiment
Monster Lab is a five-reel game with twenty paylines. The amount that can be wagered on one payline is a minimum of $1 through to $100. If a player choses to play with twenty lines, then the maximum decreases to $5.00. Max bet allows for gamers to simply go for broke, without having to set any of the different configurations. The most valuable little critter is a blue multiple-eyed monster - when five appear on the reels, it will net a win of $2000.
There is also the chance to increase winnings with the Double Game. The screen changes to another laboratory where our poor old professor is trapped inside a large glass test tube, with a laser precariously pointed above his head. To the left is a multi-tentacled pink monster in charge of a button filled desk. The game is very simple, there is a choice that the next result will be either normal or monster professor.
If correct, it doubles the win, and this can be continued until either the gamer decides to leave or they lose. The bonus game has various beakers filled to the brim with a green liquid. Simply press a button to claim a prize. As ever, Evoplay has thought of all levels of gamer with Monster Lab. It is simple enough for novice players, but absorbing enough to hold the interest of either intermediates or experienced punters.
It is available in two modes, so is perfect for all gamers. Fun mode involves no financial commitment, and has all the functions of the full game. Live Mode allows for real money games, where the chance for a big win is a real possibility.
