From the very beginning, humans, in order to survive, had to battle against various dangerous beasts. That is why they needed tools and weapons, to protect themselves. It seems that the Cave Lion was their biggest enemy, because there are plenty of drawings in the caves to prove that fact. Betsoft dedicated one of their latest releases to this dangerous animal. Primal Hunt is a five-reel video slot that benefits from 80 paylines. Look for the Hunting Cave Lion Scatter to trigger free spins with multiplier Lava Wilds. Up to 20 free spins are available in the beginning, and the feature can be retriggered.
Survival was not that easy back in the days, because lots of wild animals were attacking humans. Even so, the rules of the 2020 release are quite easy, especially if you had the pleasure of playing other BetSoft product. Primal Hunt has five reels, four rows, and offers 80 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. Land at least three matching icons on a line to win a payout. The Lion is the only symbol that pays even for two of a kind. Betting starts at $0.20 per spin, and the biggest possible wager cannot go over $22.
We will be entering a cave filled with drawings. It seems that humans live here, but expect to see Cave Lions as well. No humans are present on the reels, while the Lion is the highest-paying regular symbol, delivering 10x bet for five of a kind. You will also notice Spear and Axes made of wood and stone, since these are the first weapons people used against the Lion. There are drawings of a Mammoth, Ox, Horse, and Gazelle, acting as symbols. Playing cards represent low-value icons. The Lava Wild is there to substitute for all regular symbols, while the Cave Lion is the Scatter that triggers free spins.
The Primal Power of the Cave Lion can be seen once you land three or more Scatters on the reels. Get three, four, or five Scatters on the reels, and you will trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins at once. The best part of the story is that you can retrigger the feature by landing extra Scatters.
The story doesn’t end there, because Lava Wilds are upgraded during the feature. They come with 2x and 3x multipliers, which are applied on wins when Wilds are part of a winning combo. If, for example, two Wilds are in the same winning combination, they will multiply each other.
The BetSoft product houses great visuals and a soundtrack that fits the theme perfectly. The cave looks a bit mysterious and you may wonder when the Lion will jump on you. The Free Spins feature is quite rewarding, delivering up to 20 free spins at once and multiplier Wilds that can substantially boost your winnings, especially if they multiply each other. However, it seems that one more additional feature could have spiced things up a bit, and we do not expect plenty of action junkies to stay for a long time in this cave.
