Eggz! POWER COMBO

Eggz! Power Combo: Slot Overview

Some older mobile phones have a reputation, real or not, of being unbreakable compared to today's massive screened counterparts. Imagine, then, rewinding the clock a few hundred thousand years or so to when everything was made of bones or stones. Stuff back then must have lasted forever. If this sounds a little silly, it's because we've been playing Eggz! Power Combo from Games Global partner All41 Studios. Eggz! Power Combo is a prehistorically themed online slot designed in the style of The Flintstones – hence everything being made of highly durable materials. It's also basically a reskin of Kings of Crystals and, by extension, Chests of Gold Power Combo. As Fred Flintstone might have said, 'Yabba dabba doo'? Let's see.

All41 Studios has used a more cartoonish approach when making Eggz! Power Combo than it did with the previous two slots. The result is arguably more inviting than before, where the amusing atmos helped disarm the weariness that crept in after finding out this was basically the third slot to offer the same set of features. For the location, players find themselves in a cave people's dwelling in the base game, moving elsewhere for the free spins bonus round. The jolly angle suits the subject matter and Eggz! Power Combo made the warmest impression of the three games so far.

Underneath it all is a highly volatile math model pushing out four different RTP models. The highest is 96.4%, and at this level, the game has a theoretical hit rate of 38.79%. Most of the time, Eggz! Power Combo is played on a 5-reel, 4-row grid matrix with 40 paylines, but it does grow during the bonus round with nudging wilds – covered below. When picking a bet, players choose from 20 p/c to $/€20 per paid spin, plus they may buy 7 different features.

Moving on to the payable, where as its low pays, Eggz! Power Combo has bone-formed 9-A card ranks, followed by some meat, a club, plus 3 character symbols. A winning line of 5 matching symbols pays 0.75x the bet for the card royals or 2.5 to 5 times the bet for the rest. Wilds can substitute for any regular pay symbol and appear on reels 2 to 4.

Eggz! Power Combo: Slot Features

Features time and Eggz! Power Combo is all about landing egg scatter symbols to trigger its various bonus rounds. There are 3 types of egg scatter, and each one leads to a free spins bonus round with a specific feature, though they can be mixed. When scatters land, there is a chance of triggering the single feature rounds or the mixed ones.

Free Spins with Nudging Wild

The pink scatter can trigger 5 free spins with nudging wilds. This round is played on a game board which is 6 rows high and has 100 paylines. When at least 1 wild hits, the reel is nudged so that it becomes full of wilds. Landing a pink scatter awards extra free spins.

Free Spins with Jackpots

The green scatter can trigger 10 free spins with a jackpot feature. During it, coin symbols may land with values of 1x to 10x the bet or letters corresponding to certain jackpots. Collecting M, I, N, I awards the 25x the bet Mini jackpot, collecting M, I, N, O, R awards the 50x the bet Minor Jackpot, collecting M, A, J, O, R awards the 500x Major Jackpot, and collecting G, R, A, N, D awards the 10,000x the bet Grand Jackpot.

Free Spins with Multiplier

The blue egg scatter can trigger 5 free spins with up to an x10 multiplier. On each spin, a multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10 is awarded at random. Landing a blue scatter awards additional free spins.

Feature Combos

Landing scatter combinations can trigger free spins with combined features, or it can upgrade the current free spins round with extra free spins and features. The pink and blue scatters may trigger 5 free spins with nudging wilds and a win multiplier. The pink and green scatters may trigger 10 free spins with nudging wilds and jackpot collection, while the blue and green scatters can trigger 10 free spins with the win multiplier and jackpot collection. Lastly, the pink, blue, and green scatters can trigger 10 free spins with all 3 features.

Buy Feature

The bonus buy menu comes with 7 different options, ranging from single feature free spins to double and triple. The costs vary from 20x the bet to 110x the bet.

Eggz! Power Combo: Slot Verdict

Persistent, loyal, obsessed are just three of the words that might be used to describe All41 Studios' third time creating a slot with essentially the same gameplay, engine and stats. From Kings of Crystals to Chests of Gold Power Combo and now Eggz! Power Combo, so far, none have really got our pulses racing. All offer very different outer veneers, but beneath the surface lies more or less the same math model running the show, firing off more or less the same set of features. Hard to get overly excited doing the same thing for the third time when the first and second times were pretty so-so, to begin with.

In Eggz! Power Combo's defence, let's look at its brighter moments. One is that the caveman/cavewoman theme has a playfulness which made it easy to get along with compared to its more seriously-minded predecessors. This might be a downer, though, because, despite being highly volatile and all, the vibe might be a little lightweight for some tastes. Beyond the theme, Eggz! Power Combo is business as usual for a Power Combo-related slot. Land scatters, in this case, 'eggz', in the hopes they will trigger one of the bonus rounds – preferably a bonus round with more than one feature active. Presumably, the jackpot round is the most desirable since that's where a clear path to achieving the game's max win of 10,000x the bet is laid out. The others are okay, nudging wilds on an expanded game grid or free spins with a win multiplier. There you go.

And so, players who went in for what All41 Studios delivered in the previous two games should be thrilled with getting a third chance to do so. There must be a thirsty crowd out there for this sort of stuff, too, to make it three deep in the range to date. However, if the range has failed to impress so far, and the Croods/Flintstones thing doesn't float your boat, then not much else about Eggz! Power Combo is likely to win you over, either.
