Crazy Chemist Slot
Great scientific discoveries often come with a great cost, and total disregard for common sense, or ethics. Or both, actually. Gamblers are no strangers to risky behaviours, so what best choice that to try out Crazy Chemist, a video slot game developed by Omega Gaming that will promote you lab assistant to one of the most brilliant minds of the century. And also one of the craziest.
In this 5x3 slot game, you will have to find your way amongst strange substances and dangerous fluids to try and create winning combinations to win cash prizes.
The stakes can be high is you factor in the different and quite generous bonus features of the game, plus a nice choice of bets to let you control your current level of risk. With a medium volatility, Crazy Chemist gives any player a fair chance to win big, so let’s see what this game is all about in our complete review right here.
Madness at Work
Crazy Chemist has a classic cartoon atmosphere with some 3D elements that make it quite dynamic and eye catching. The action is taking place in the secret lab of a mad scientist, with the different reels placed in the centre of a large and mysterious machine. The command buttons at the bottom could actually pass for the commands of said buzzing machine, which is a nice touch - although probably involuntary, given that Omega Gaming using this particular command layout for many of its slot games.
Another iconic feature is the reel animations, with each symbol spinning sideways instead of vertically, as you might be used to. Otherwise, Crazy Chemist has a fun look but nothing absolutely eye-catching. Let’s see if we can say otherwise for the gameplay in the next section.
Recipe for a Big Discovery
Crazy Chemist lets you choose your coin size with the plus and minus buttons on the side, with a maximum available bet of 125 credits per turn. The game is played on 5 reels and 25 paylines, with an autoplay game mode available. You can hit the max bet shortcut at any time to go all-in, an option that we always find very handy because it really adds a bit of a thrill to the game every time you use it.
With its average volatility, Crazy Chemist gives every player a chance to win decent prizes at any time. The paytable contains different vials of radioactive liquids, microscopes, loose eyeballs and more, with a maximum reward of x2000 – which is actually quite generous.
Each spin has a decent chance to bring forward a cash prize of some sort, and we had fun betting on the reels of Crazy Chemist even without having to rely on the special features of the game, which we will introduce next anyway.
Get the Patterns Right
The crazy scientist whose lab you are currently borrowing is both the most valuable of all the basic symbols and also the wild card of the game. Use it to substitute for the other icons freely and your chances to score a cash prize will increase accordingly.
The brain symbol cannot be replaced, however, but it can pay up to 500 times your total bet in any position on the reels. Scatters are always interesting symbols in modern slot games, and this tiny, wrinkly, pink brain has saved us from wasting a spin more than once.
The lightning bolts are original symbols, a bit of a signature for Omega Gaming creations. You have to score 4 or 5 of them on the 3 central reels in specific patterns to trigger a cash prize that can go up to 100 times your total bet. Not a bad prize, but we still think it could have gone higher given how challenging getting the patterns right can be.
Take a Risk and the Nobel Prize is Yours
Crazy Chemist is a fun slot game with decent winning possibilities and a good amount of bonuses available. Players looking for originality will appreciate the sideway spinning, with which they might already be familiar if they have experience with other Omega Gaming creations such as Circus Ringmaster, for instance.
Nonetheless, Crazy Chemist has good arguments and we had a blast betting a few credits on its reels. If you are a fan of Omega Gaming but would rather avoid being locked up in a dark lab for hours, try out their Tiki Treasure slot and you will get to enjoy the warm sun of the South Pacific.
