About this Slot
Critical Mass is a sci-fi slot by Talore Labs with an RTP of 96.5%, high volatility and a maximum win of 25,000x.
Winning combinations are formed by eight or more matching symbols appearing anywhere on the board. When symbols win, they are removed and the remaining symbols tumble to fill the spaces, potentially creating additional wins on the same spin.
Armed socket detonations multiply the current spin win by the active Reactor value. Detonations spread to orthogonally adjacent armed sockets and chain once through each connection, with the Reactor doubling after each detonation up to a maximum of three doublings per chain. The Reactor starts at 2x in the base game.
Four or more Containment Doors trigger 12 Meltdown Free Spins, during which the Reactor begins at 3x and remains persistent throughout the bonus. Armed sockets remain active during free spins. Reaching win thresholds of 50x, 250x and 1000x during the bonus awards two additional spins each; each threshold pays only once per bonus round.
The Enriched Fuel bonus buy, costing 3x the bet, provides an alternative entry to the bonus mechanics. Critical Buy costs 100x the bet. Mystery Meltdown costs 400x the bet and starts the Meltdown Free Spins with a Reactor value of 3x. Super Critical, also costing 400x the bet, grants 12 free spins with six pre-armed sockets and a Reactor value of 6x.
