deadmau5 Review

The math model of deadmau5 is the standard one – 5 reels on 3 rows and 243 ways to win. Adjacently landed symbols pay instead of fixed pay-lines. You can play with wagers in the range of 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The volatility is high and the return to player – 95.22%. The hit frequency of deadmau5 is 31.52%. You can play 10, 25, 50 or 100 pre-set auto spins. The jackpot you can win per spin is 2,100 times your stake.

Part of the gameplay is the Rolling Reels mechanics, which drops new symbols on the winning ones. This lets you win from following cascades. You can trigger between 15 and 25 free spins and win from the scatters. During the free games, there is a Multiplier Trail. Successive wins increase the multiplier from 2x to 10x.

The Design

The game is set in a nightclub and you see deadmau5 standing to the left of the grid. The club is filled with purple and blue neon lights. On the reels, you can land the 4 neon-style card suits and 5 ladies. All of the latter are dancing with their hair waving from a wind machine. They create a groovy and atmospheric spirit, which is enhanced by the deadmau5’s music. It is used as a soundtrack including the tracks 4Ware and Monophobia. The free spins play with another background again in a club.

deadmau5 Gameplay

The pay-table includes neon-lit hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs card suits. These are the lower-paying symbols. The premiums are 5 dancing women, which return 3 to 5 times the bet for 5 of a kind combinations.

The deadmau5 logo is the wild and, as usual, it substitutes for all others except for the scatter. You can see the wild on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. The scatter triggers the free spins.

To get wins land 3 to 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one. The 5 reels and 3 rows ensure 243 ways to win per spin. Winning symbols get removed and then, new ones take their places dropping from above. If you form a new winner, the process repeats. The Rolling Reels will keep coming one following the other if you have luck. They will give you even better rewards during the free spins.

deadmau5 Features / Bonuses

You can get the deadmau5 logo wild on any spin on the middle 3 reels. When this happens, you can activate the Drop the Wild feature. Then, the whole 2, 3 and 4 reels will turn wild. Yet, during the Drop the Wild feature, the Rolling Reels are not active, which is its downside.

Landing 3 to 5 scatters on a spin activates the Free Games and the relevant scatter pay. The variants are:

3 scatters = 15 free spins + 5x total stake payout;

4 scatters = 20 free spins + 25x total stake payout;

5 scatters = 25 free spins + 250x total stake payout;

The Rolling Reels are in play during the free spins similarly to the base game. Moreover, you will benefit from the Multiplier Trail, which also triggers. Every time you get consecutive wins, you activate the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x multipliers. After the end of a row of wins, the multiplier resets to 1x. Unfortunately, you cannot retrigger the free spins.

The Conclusion

Fans of the DJ and musician deadmau5 will have fun with the game. Its features his music with relevant design and effects. You can get 2,100 times your stake per spin. The highest winning potential is during free spins with up to 10x multipliers. Wait for deadmau5’s release at the beginning of November and spin the reels in a club environment.
