Amazing Miceketeers

Amazing Miceketeers: Slot Overview

Swords at the ready, players, as Hacksaw Gaming partner Bullshark Games presents an audacious adventure starring 3 heroes of the rodent variety. With a nod to French author Alexandre Dumas, the game is Amazing Miceketeers, where, yeah, instead of Musketeers, we've got a trio of mice driving the action. So why not Amazing Mouseketeers, you might be asking? Well, the name has already been given to the kids or teenagers who performed on the American variety show, The Mickey Mouse Club, where past alumni include Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling. So, to sidestep potentially tricky litigious scenarios, Bullshark Games has gone with Amazing Miceketeers. Plus, there are three mice here.

Since the Dumas story is set in France, one would assume that's where we are for Amazing Miceketeers, too. Way back in the days of yore, when the French Revolution and the Paris Olympics were but a twinkle in a fortune teller's eye. A castle courtyard kind of location is the setting, and the 3 mice adventurers stand on either side of a 7x7 gaming grid. Due to the abundant leaf fall and the speed those clouds are racing across the sky, it feels like autumn time in Amazing Miceketeers, or maybe the start of winter. If the game is doing its best to avoid any Mickey Mouse associations, it looks like a classic cartoon all the same.

Amazing Miceketeers is a cluster pays game with a cascade feature. Winning clusters contain at least 5 matching symbols, connected in vertical and/or horizontal directions, and are removed and replaced by a symbol drop when they hit. Two RTP configurations have been designed, 96.24% is the highest, which ekes out of a medium volatile math model. Bet selection is 10 c to $/€100 as they usually are in a Hacksaw Gaming-related slot, and Amazing Miceketeers is hooked up with a 4-option bonus buy menu.

The game's low pay symbols are the four suits found imprinted on playing cards - clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts, while highs are a shoe, a frothy beer mug, a gun, and a hat. The littlest 5 OAK clusters pay out 0.2 to 1 times the bet, while the biggest 36+ clusters are worth 20x to 500x. Regular wilds replace any symbol. These wilds are removed after participating in a win and never get multipliers. Having 40+ winning wild symbols on the board pays 500x. This applies to regular wilds and the Sticky Walking Wild.

Amazing Miceketeers: Slot Features

Amazing Miceketeers' features include Symbol Converters and Symbol Upgrade symbols, as well as Sticky Walking Wilds, Amazing Adventure free spins, an extreme version of free spins, plus bonus buys.

Sticky Walking Wilds

Sticky Walking Wilds have a multiplier starting at x1. After being part of a win, the multiplier increases by +1 up to a maximum of x10. The multiplier applies to all wins the wild participates in, and if more than one wild participates in the same win, the multiplier values are added. After being part of a win, the Sticky Walking Wild moves to a new adjacent position, even if the multiplier has reached its maximum value. In the base game, Sticky Walking Wilds are removed at the end of a spin. If free spins trigger, Sticky Walking Wilds will not remain for the feature.

Symbol Converter & Symbol Upgrader

Once the grid settles, any Symbol Convertors in view activate. When it does, it adds 1 to 8 symbols of the same matching type next to it on the reels, which the Symbol Converter then converts into. Symbol Converters always activate before the Symbol Upgrader if both are in view.

The Symbol Upgrader activates when the reels settle, and any Symbol Converters have triggered. This symbol may land on any reel except the leftmost. When triggered, a Symbol Converter picks one adjacent symbol and upgrades all instances of it on the reels. Lows go to highs, highs upgrade to the next highest high, the highest pay symbol becomes wild, a picked wild transforms the Symbol Upgrader to a wild, while a picked Sticky Walking Wild transforms the Symbol Upgrader into an x1 starting Sticky Walking Wild. The Symbol Upgrader transforms into the same symbol it upgraded to.

Amazing Adventure Spins

Scatter symbols appear on all reels except the leftmost reel. Hitting 3 or 4 scatters awards 8 or 10 free spins, respectively. Landing 5 scatters awards 12 Extreme Amazing Adventure free spins with at least 1 Sticky Walking Wild guaranteed on the first free spin. During free spins, Sticky Walking Wilds remain on the reels until the round ends, moving to a new position after each win and on each new spin. Multipliers on Sticky Walking Wilds also persist till free spins end. Landing a scatter awards +1 free spin each time.

Bonus Buy

Opening up Amazing Miceketeers' bonus buy section is where players access these: BonusHunt FeatureSpins - 3x the bet. Each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger free spins, Sword and Cheese FeatureSpins - 30x the bet. Each spin guarantees at least 3 special symbols with at least 1 Symbol Upgrader and 1 Symbol Converter amongst them, Amazing Adventure Free Spins - 100x the bet, or Extreme Amazing Adventure Free Spins - 200x the bet.

Amazing Miceketeers: Slot Verdict

In a strange turn of events, it was only a week or so prior to Amazing Miceketeers that we reviewed Hacksaw Gaming's Get the Cheese. Also a slot with a mouse theme featuring roaming multiplier wilds, much like Amazing Miceketeers does. Hacksaw and Bullshark, huh? They're turning into a couple that's moved in together and is finishing each other's sentences, wearing each other's clothes, eating off one another's plate of food when they go out. Well, no, not really. We're only talking about similarities between the two games for now, so it's not like they're sharing a single toothbrush or anything. Yet.

Besides, Amazing Miceketeers and Get the Cheese have plenty of gaming features separating the two. Examples include the Symbol Converter and the Symbol Upgrade extras, which are able to work hand in glove with Sticky Walking Wilds. As you might expect in a slot that uses movin' wild symbols, free spins are likely the best place to be (though Sword and Cheese FeatureSpins were good, too). Like the granddaddy of them all, Jammin' Jars, the way Sticky Walking Wilds literally stick around for the round's full duration, multiplier growth persisting the whole time has all the makings of a right thrilling time. If you can get them to land in the first place. Or trigger the Extreme Amazing Adventure round, where at least one Sticky Walking Wild starts on the first spin. Amazing Miceketeers is not like Jammin' Jars, where the 3+ Jam Jars literally trigger the feature and carry over. The x10 cap feels a tad limiting as well. Once roaming wilds are in place, though, they can link with upgrades and conversions really well.

If the words 'roaming multiplier wilds' are like catnip, then Amazing Miceketeers is definitely one to try out. In fact, it's 12,000x the bet max win and nest of features make it a compelling consideration for cluster wins players in general.
