There is no place for weak matches, mistakes and deadends in The Alter Ego online slot, put on your mystery-solving face and let's kick it. Software provider Pragmatic Play brings us an exciting Mystery/Crime-themed experience with the potential to play with 100,000 ways to win in the bonus game.
That said, players can expect highly volatile gameplay with a not-so-much entertaining base game. On the other hand, as soon as the bonus arrives, the whole story changes for the better.
Theme and Symbols
Depicting a street view of an era way behind us, The Alter Ego online slot breaks the ice with its fantastic visuals and even better music, bringing in the brilliant eerie atmosphere that fits the overall theme.
The Game Logo is the Wild Symbol, while the Green Flask of suspicious contents acts as a Scatter. To list the regular paying symbols, the Character is the most lucrative Icon on the reels, followed by Pistols, Watches, Hats and A-9 royals.
Betting Options and Features
5 reels in a 3-4-4-4-3 formation present up to 576 ways to win in the base game, which can expand dramatically in the bonus round. Regarding the betting range of 0.20 - 240.00 credits per strike, all rollers should be covered.
The best odds number resides at 96.07%, just about average and usually the case with most of Pragmatic Play’s online games, while the volatility scales high. Regarding the maximum exposure, it caps out at 10,000x the stake.
Wild Symbol - Appears as a replacement for all other Icons but the Mystery and Scatter Symbols. It lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
Mystery Symbols - There’s a chance for Mystery Symbols ( “?” ) to appear on any of the reels. Mystery Icons transform into the same random paying symbol except for the Wild.
Free Spins - 3 or more Scatters award 3 Free Spins where the Scatter is replaced with a new Flask, red one, and the highest paying Icon in the Free Spins is replaced with the most lucrative symbol from the base game.
Each time a Scatter appears in the bonus round, it resets the spin counter back to 3 and the feature ends once no more Free Spins are left in your tally. Now, each Scatter, including the Triggering Scatters, increases the number of symbols on reels by 1, vertically, each time they hit.
The maximum number of symbols per reel is 10, for a maximum of 100,000 ways to win.
On top of that, should you want to skip the base game and jump straight into the action, the Buy Free Spins feature allows you to do that. There are 3 options on offer, each bearing a different amount of triggering Scatters and a cost.
It is also worth noting that the RTP slightly alters when using the extra mentioned above.
Wrapping Up
If you enjoy Crime or Mystery Solving games, you’ll have a pleasant time in The Alter Ego online slot. On the other hand, should you hunt for a feature-packed experience, you might want to skip the title’s base game.
In any case, our take on this online one-armed bandit is highly satisfying. Pragmatic Play did an awesome job. Want to see more games like this? Check out the Sherlock and the Mystic Compass release from Nucleus Gaming.
