Great Adventure Slot Review

Great Adventure - Basic Information

Great Adventure is a 5 reel, 10 line video slot from Amusnet Interactive, still widely played even though it first appeared back on 11 July 2014. On the maths side it runs with an RTP of 96.44 per cent and below average volatility, so I tend to see frequent smaller hits rather than long dry spells. Max advertised win is x1000, with stakes running from 0.01 up to a hefty 1000 per spin.

The set-up is very straightforward, which suits me when I just want to spin without fiddling with settings. I pick a stake, hit Spin, and line wins pay from left to right across the ten paylines. The theme leans into classic treasure hunting, with young explorers, a Mask of Ra, and a mottled beetle tying in neatly with the Adventure Journal scatter and the golden Statue Feature in the bonus.

Great Adventure Symbols and Paytable

When I open the paytable in Great Adventure, the first thing that stands out is the Scatter, shown as the Adventure Journal. It pays its own prizes and also works in the Scatters and other symbols role by substituting for every regular icon to help create winning combinations. Line up five scatters and the cash prize shoots up to 25000 coins at top bet, so full screens of journals always catch my eye.

Below that, the explorers, beetle and Mask of Ra carry the highest line wins. The internal paytable shows the very best symbol paying up to x40 for five of a kind, then others stepping down through x20 and x12 brackets, before the medium icons fall into the x6 and x5 ranges. Playing card symbols J, Q, K and A cover the lower end, with five-of-a-kind returns from around x4 down to x2 of the line stake.

Statue Feature & Free Spins in Great Adventure

The main bonus in Great Adventure arrives when three or more Adventure Journal scatters land anywhere, kicking off the extra spins round. I am then taken to a separate screen with five Golden Statues lined up. I must pick one of them and tap to confirm my choice. Each statue hides a different package of free spins, and the boxes underneath reveal how many I have won, from three up to ten complimentary spins.

Back on the reels, some of the main symbols get replaced by special golden versions for the feature. These gold icons behave as wilds during free spins, helping to complete winning lines by standing in for everything except the scatter. On good runs I have had several golden symbols on the same spin, which can turn what looks like an average hit into a surprisingly strong payout across multiple paylines at once.

After the last free spin, a simple mural appears with the total amount I have collected from the Statue Feature, then the game shifts back to the base mode. What I like is that the feature can re-trigger if fresh sets of three or more journals show up while free spins play out, so there is always the chance of chaining extra rounds together. With the lower variance maths, I see these bonuses fairly often.

Great Adventure’s Slot Bonus Rounds

On top of the Statue Feature, Great Adventure uses the familiar EGT style bonus structure that I see across the series. After any paid spin, I can take a Gamble Round instead of banking the win. It is a simple red or black card guess; pick the correct colour and the prize doubles, pick wrong and the whole amount disappears. I usually reserve this for modest wins I do not mind risking.

The other extra is the Jackpot Cards feature. At random, usually after larger hits, the screen can switch to a pick-me bonus where twelve cards sit face down. I keep choosing until I reveal three cards of the same suit. Matching spades, hearts, clubs or diamonds awards the corresponding level of the progressive jackpot. It is all very fast, but that brief burst of picking adds a nice extra layer to standard spins.

Progressive Jackpot in Great Adventure

Great Adventure plugs into the standard Amusnet progressive system, so there is always a live jackpot pool growing in the background. A tiny slice of every bet feeds into the four card suit prizes, which are then paid through the Jackpot Cards round. The top pot can reach serious figures on busy networks. As the original review notes, you really want to be on a high or max bet if you are chasing that headline prize.

Who Can Play Great Adventure Slot?

In practice, anyone who is old enough to gamble in their jurisdiction can try Great Adventure, as long as the game is offered there. I normally load a free demo version first through my browser, just to get a feel for the Statue Feature, Gamble Round and Jackpot Cards. Once I am comfortable with the paytable and stake levels, switching to real money play is just a matter of opening the same slot in cash mode.

Great Adventure runs smoothly on most modern mobiles and tablets I have used, including iPhone and Android handsets, so I often spin it on the sofa rather than at a desk. For real money play you need an account with a licensed operator, and local rules decide whether the slot is permitted for cash stakes. If that is not an option, the free version still works well for a quick session of light-hearted exploring.
