Gaming Corps, a Swedish game studio listed publicly, has officially unveiled its latest release, Wet and Wild Beavers. This quirky slot game not only delivers an engaging narrative but also debuts the studio's innovative A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic, promising players an exciting gaming experience with plenty of opportunities for rewards.
The Story of the Riverbank Escape
Set along a serene riverbank, the game’s storyline revolves around three inventive beavers—Red Rocket, Old Blue, and Yella Fella—plotting their daring escape. The slot, built on a 5x5 grid with 50 paylines, immerses players in a lively adventure where clever bonus features and cascading wins provide chances to secure prizes of up to 10,000x the initial stake.
The standout feature of Gaming Corps’ slot is its A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic. When players achieve a win, winning symbols are removed, allowing the remaining symbols to navigate the grid toward an exit at the bottom left corner. Meanwhile, new symbols drop in from the right side of the grid, creating the possibility of additional wins.
Adding to the excitement, the mechanic includes a Win Multiplier that increases with every successful match. Symbols like Logs or non-Beaver icons passing through the Exit position contribute to advancing the multiplier, enhancing potential payouts.
Each of the three Beaver characters appears as a Wild symbol, adding unique dynamics to the game. Unlike regular symbols, the Beavers don’t get removed after a win; instead, they move across the reels toward the Exit. When a Beaver exits the grid, its corresponding bonus feature is triggered:
- Red Rocket (Dynamite Blast): Adds three dynamite symbols to the grid. Surrounding symbols, except Beavers, are destroyed, and Dynamite symbols turn Wild.
- Old Blue (X-Treme Cut): Clears symbols in an X-pattern across the grid, with up to five Wilds replacing them.
- Yella Fella (Combo Clear): Removes all instances of three selected symbols, with up to five Wilds added to the grid.
Bonus Features and Additional Spins
The game introduces supplementary features to enhance the action. The Second Chance feature activates if no win occurs and a Beaver symbol is present on the first reel, clearing symbols between the Beaver and the Exit. Similarly, the Dam Flood feature can trigger randomly during a non-winning spin, flooding the grid with Wild symbols.
By collecting all three Beaver symbols, players unlock four Bonus Spins, which can be retriggered by collecting the trio again during the round. For those eager to jump straight into the Bonus Spins, options such as Bonus Buy and Super Bonus Buy are available, along with a Hot Bet feature that triples the chance of activating the Bonus Spins for three times the stake.
A Fresh Perspective on Slot Design
Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, expressed enthusiasm about the release, stating: “At Gaming Corps, we are committed to innovation and finding new and exciting ways to entertain players. With Wet and Wild Beavers, we are excited to give players a first glimpse of the brand-new A-MAZE-CADES™ mechanic. This inventive addition offers a unique twist on the cascade-style mechanics that have gained popularity in the slot world in recent years. Of course, the game is much more than just this mechanic. Our design team are extremely proud of the game’s whacky design and characters, while the captivating gameplay offers the chance for exhilarating bonuses and big wins on every spin.”
This latest release from Gaming Corps reinforces their dedication to delivering fresh and innovative gaming experiences, blending unique mechanics with playful designs to captivate slot enthusiasts.
