10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot Review

10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot Review

I came into 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax already hooked on the first game, so I wanted to see whether this sequel actually pushes things on. It sticks with the Ice Age setting but adds a hotter, more aggressive feel, with snow banks sat beside rivers of lava and a rumbling volcano. Straight away it looks and sounds like classic 4ThePlayer, bold, colourful and very clear during hectic sequences.

Under the artwork, 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax runs on a 5x5 set with 50 fixed paylines, high volatility and a 94% RTP configuration. Stakes range from 20p up to £100 a spin, with max win capped at 10,000x your bet. The game blends DoubleMax multipliers, Gigablox, cascades, five in-reel modifiers, Free Spins, Golden Bet and two Feature Buy options into one very busy package.

10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot Layout, Theme & Setup

10000 BC 2 DoubleMax keeps the basic setup from the original: stone slabs form the reels in front of a split landscape, with icy peaks on one side and molten rock on the other. The volcano to the right is not just decoration; it fires wilds and multiplier fireballs throughout play. The interface is simple, with bet controls under the grid and Golden Bet / Feature Buy buttons parked neatly at the sides.

Theme, Audio and Symbols in 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax

The mix of snow and lava in 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax gives the slot a strong identity. During base play you get a frosty valley with lava streams and crackling torches, then during Free Spins the eruption ramps up and the whole scene glows red. Audio follows suit, with tribal drums, animal calls and mechanical slot clicks that intensify once the multiplier starts climbing and the volcano begins to throw fireballs.

Symbol-wise, 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax sticks to a clean line-up. The low end is made up of 10, J, Q, K and A, carved into coloured stones and paying around 0.3x to 0.35x your bet for five of a kind. Premiums are the bear, wolf, woolly rhino, sabre-tooth tiger and mammoth, which pay from roughly 0.4x up to 1.25x for a full line. Gigablox versions of these can land in 2x2 or 3x3 blocks.

The paytable also lists the more precise values many slot regulars look for. For example, five mammoths pay 1x the bet, while the sabre-tooth tops out at 0.48x, the rhino at 0.40x, the wolf at 0.32x and the bear at 0.24x. Wilds only ever arrive via Fireball Wilds from the volcano, substituting for everything except scatters. Scatters are the key to Free Spins and can land as standard icons or as chunky Gigablox tiles.

How to Play 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot

Getting started with 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax is straightforward. I set my stake with the plus and minus buttons, anywhere between 20p and £100, then hit spin. Wins need three or more matching symbols on one of the 50 fixed lines, from left to right starting on reel one. Any win triggers the dropdown mechanic, where winning symbols vanish and new symbols fall in, which is where the DoubleMax magic begins.

Each consecutive dropdown win doubles the global win multiplier shown beside the reels, moving from x1 to x2, x4, x8 and so on up to a cap of x2,048. In the base game that multiplier drops back between winning sequences; in Free Spins it keeps climbing. When I feel like chasing the bonus harder, I flip on Golden Bet for an extra 25% per spin, which doubles the Free Spins trigger chance.

10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot Free Spins, Bonus Features & Bonus Buy

Feature-wise, 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax is stacked. The Fireball Wilds feature sees the volcano hurl one to three wilds onto the grid during a spin or dropdown. Multiplier Inferno sends a fireball straight into the multiplier trail, jumping it to the next value. Lava Flow can coat a whole reel and turn it into stacked copies of a single symbol. Mammoth Explode and Mammoth Shuffle both salvage dead spins by forcing a new dropdown sequence.

Free Spins drop when three or more scatters land, including as part of a Gigablox. Three, four or five scatters give 10, 15 or 20 spins. During the bonus the win multiplier never resets, so any cascades early on can set up serious potential, though Mammoth Explode and Mammoth Shuffle sit out. Outside the UK you can buy Free Spins for 100x bet or a single Multiplier Spin for 125x, starting with an enhanced multiplier.

10000 BC 2 DoubleMax Slot Verdict

After a good session on 10000 BC 2 DoubleMax, I see it as a proper high-volatility crowd-pleaser rather than a radical rethink of the first game. The DoubleMax and Gigablox mix still carries the show, and those non-resetting multipliers in Free Spins can get outrageous. On the downside, the 94% RTP feels stingy and the Bonus Buys did not treat me kindly, but overall I would still rate it around 4.2 out of 5.
