Man Vs Gator Slot Bonuses and Features
Man vs Gator Wild. This wild symbol nudges to fill the entire reel whenever it lands partially in view, triggering a battle between the man and the gator to determine the multiplier value. All Man vs Gator Wilds become sticky, and the remaining reels respin, awarding one respin per Man vs Gator Wild.
Man Up Wild & Gator Down Wild. These wild symbols are 1×2 in size and nudge upwards or downwards, respectively, triggering a respin of the remaining reels per nudge. The Man Up Wild increases the Man vs Gator Wild multiplier per nudge if the man wins the duel, while the Gator Down Wild does the same if the gator wins, awarding a respin per nudge. This feature continues as long as the nudging wilds are present.
Man vs Gator Free Spins. The bonus round is triggered by landing 3 or more bonus scatters, granting 5 free spins. Landing 4 scatters guarantees a Man vs Gator Wild on the first free spin, while 5 scatters grant 2 Man vs Gator Wilds on the first spin. All Man vs Gator Wilds are sticky throughout the bonus round, and any respins awarded do not reduce the free spins tally. If the bonus round is triggered during a respin sequence in the base game, it resumes where it left off after the free spins round. Additional bonus rounds can be triggered within the same sequence by landing 3 or more scatters during free spins.
Man vs Gator Bonus Buy (not available in the UK). Eligible players can access the X-iter feature and bonus buy menu, offering options like:
- Bonus Hunt: Pay 2x your stake to increase the chances of triggering the bonus round.
- Man vs Gator: Pay 10x your stake to get a Man vs Gator Wild on the next spin.
- Tag Team: Pay 25x your stake for 2 Man vs Gator Wilds on the next spin.
- Bonus: Pay 100x your stake to trigger the bonus round with 3+ scatters.
- Super Bonus: Pay 500x your stake to trigger the bonus round with 5 scatters.
Conclusion
Man vs Gator by ELK Studios is a very fun slot that combines familiar mechanics with innovative twists thanks to the unique theme. The Man vs Gator duel mechanic, along with nudging wilds and respins, provides some engaging gameplay while the vibrant graphics and engaging soundtrack really piece everything together, making it a slot that stands out. However, the 94% RTP is below average like most Elk Studio slots, which might be a drawback for some players but at this point I almost feel tired from making the same point about slots from this developer. Despite this, the game’s high volatility and potential for payouts up to 10,000x your stake could make it a compelling choice for some.
