How Madder Scientist works

Madder Scientist is a very old slot from the provider BetSoft, which was a sequel to the first "Mad Scientist". This sequel was released at the end of 2011, so don't expect the latest graphics, as this slot is starting to get old. Despite its old age, the slot offers some interesting bonus features for the time, we'll see all of this in detail on Lucky7Bonus.

The most nostalgic among you have known this slot machine back in the day. The slots from the provider Betsoft offer unique sensations, which nobody can forget even after years. Welcome to the laboratory of the mad scientist and his German accent with 3D graphics reminiscent of the video game Theme Hospital. The game takes place on a classic 5 reel, 3 line grid surrounded by a scientific laboratory setting with switches, liquid chemicals, pipes and a rabbit that looks a little worried. Numerous animations quickly kick in when the player starts the game and begins to spin. The theoretical return to the player (RTP) is 95.18%, which is very correct for the time and the volatility is rather average. The maximum gain is around 1,000 times the initial stake. It is possible to bet a minimum of 1 cent and a maximum of 45 euros at Lucky7Bonus partner online casinos.

Madder Scientist symbols

The Madder Scientist slot has 10 symbols in its base game. Unfortunately no wilds will be there to help you make more connections, the wilds will be present in the bonus round. Next to that, the slot offers 3 premium symbols:

• The mad scientist who can earn you up to 16 times your stake

• The assistant who can bring you up to 16 times your original bet

• The scared rabbit who can bring you up to 16 times your original bet

These 3 premium symbols are equal and will not bring more than another, so count on them to hope for nice wins! Concerning the classic symbols, 5 are at your disposal:

• The magnet that can earn you up to 10 times your initial investment

• Microscope which can bring you up to 6 times your initial stake

• Vials, which can earn you up to 3 times your original bet

• Coins, which can earn you up to 2 times your original bet

• Danger sign, which can earn you up to 1.5 times your original bet

In addition to the other symbols, 2 Scatters symbols may trigger a bonus feature. However, these Scatters don't earn the player anything at all in terms of direct winnings. First, you can get the Bonus Round Scatter with the image of a carrot, directly referring to the rabbit in the lab. The second Scatter looks like a switch.

The different connections in Madder Scientist

There are no less than 30 paylines in the Madder Scientist slot machine. These connections can be selected when you set your bet, you bet coins on these connections. You'll notice very quickly that a full line connection won't pay much, but the point of Madder Scientist is to make multiple connections at once by triggering lots of paylines on a single spin. So it's hard to do, but it's possible. Of course, the connections are made from left to right with at least 3 same symbols on the first three reels from the left.

How the Madder Scientist Bonus Works

As we quickly saw with the Scatters symbols, there are two bonus features in the Madder Scientist slot. Almost a revolution for 2011 where bonus features were limited to simple free spins. Before even getting into the two Madder Scientist bonuses, the slot offers to replay your reels one by one, especially to try and get the last Scatter. The price will be quite high to replay only one reel in the grid, but it's probably worth it to quickly unlock the bonus feature.

By obtaining 3 Scatters with the shape of a carrot, a very simple bonus is triggered. Twice in a row, the player will have to decide which chemical compound he wants to make his mixture with. Depending on the colors chosen, a different mixture will be made each time, offering you a different payout. The gains will often be quite small, since the maximum you can reach is about x100.

The other bonus is much more interesting, although the potential is still quite small. Thanks to the 3 switches, you unlock a Wild on the entire reel for 5 free spins. Each time you get a Scatter again, you unlock 1 more free spin. This bonus is interesting, but the potential winnings will depend a lot on the position of the Wild, if it is on one of the last reels, your chances of making connections will be much lower.

Our opinion on Madder Scientist

At the time, BetSoft was already trying to innovate its slot machines: more advanced 3D graphics and more original bonus features than its competitors. Madder Scientist is getting a little old but remains a classic to discover or to relive for the most nostalgic of players. The potential is not very high with the 2 bonus features that BetSoft offers, despite an interesting RTP of 95.18%. Today, you will not stay very long on this slot machine, but the work done in 2011 is remarkable.
