Rex the Hunt review

Theme and Style

Take a step back in time with Rex the Hunt, and prepare to meet a dinosaur or two.

Players will face a humid jungle and begin hunting a formidable predator: Tyrannosaurus. As players stalk their prey, they’ll discover an ancient world filled with prehistoric creatures.

Dinosaur fans will immediately appreciate the theme of this slot.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The animation is high quality, and players will immediately feel drawn into the lush greenery that surrounds the reels. This jungle is filled with strange, exotic flowers and eerie green light. The air shimmers slightly, adding a fantastical nature to this world.

The titular t-rex is animated in bright shades of orange and red, his teeth bared and vicious. Players will be left with no doubt that this creature is capable of defending himself.

Other dinosaurs appear among the symbols, including a blue pterodactyl and a golden parasaurolophus. Each one moves slightly on the reels, making these animals especially lifelike.

A human man is also part of the cast, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a stern expression. He seems to be in charge of the hunt, with his machete in hand.

Rex the Hunt has a tension-inducing soundtrack, blended with ambient bird calls. The strum of electric guitars gives the music an edgy rock-feel.

Gameplay

With a 3x4x4x4x4x3 reel set, Rex the Hunt uses an Any Way Wins system. This means that wins are awarded when players land matching symbols in adjacent reels. Winning combinations pay out from left to right.
