The Mask slot review (Nextgen)

To celebrate the 25 anniversary of the classic comedy “The Mask”, Nextgen released a video slot version of this blockbuster

If you accept the challenge of turning The Mask into a video slot, then the entertainment level should be as high as in the iconic movie. And I have to say that NextGen did quite an excellent job at that. Just as in the movie, wacky Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz play the main parts. Even dog Milo has a role in this NextGen Gaming video slot.

The version of The Mask they developed has the necessary entertainment level and does not disappoint in terms of action. This is a slot you can seriously have fun with, no kidding!

Together we will relive The Mask by testing the features, bonuses and free spins of this NextGen video slot!

How does The Mask video slot work?

You play The Mask video slot on 5 reels with 3 rows and 20 paylines, which count from both sides.

The clumsy boy Stanley Ipkiss and the seductive Tina Carlyle on the reels will get you right in the mood of The Mask. Other symbols such as Milo, the dog, the yellow hat with a feather on it and the money pouches further reinforce this effect. These five images are the medium-value prizes. The low-value symbols are the traditional yet colourful A, K, Q, J, 10 card symbols.

During each spin, you play with 10 credits on 20 paylines. You can play from $€ 0.10 onwards. The maximum bet is $€ 50 per spin.

If you spin the Stanley symbol, you can earn a maximum of 100 credits per combination. Five of the same Tina symbols on 1 of the 20 paylines will make you 75 credits. Milo, the dog, will award you 50 credits.

Of course “The Mask” also has its own symbol. All the symbols mentioned above will be replaced if you spin the symbol with The Mask. This increases your chance of winning combinations in the primary game.

Payout rate and variance of The Mask

The Mask video slot has an attractive average payout rate of 96.53%.

The variance of The Mask is low. In short: you get a lot of entertainment for your money.

The Mask Wild Random Features

NextGen should be praised because they have not been stingy while developing fun Wild features for the “The Mask” video slot. These 4 entertaining Wild Features can show up randomly during each spin:

Alarm Block feature: you get 2 x 2 Wild Symbols on the reels.

Horn feature: The Mask appears on the screen, pinches its horn, and several selected symbols turn up to 4 reels into Wilds.

In a spin feature: The Mask shows up like a whirlwind on the screen. The whirlwind enables all regular symbols to turn into Wilds on three randomly selected reels.

The Mask Unmask feature: Dog Milo drops The Mask on the reels, creating a 3 x 3 Wild Symbol effect. All the symbols of the dog’s owner Stanley Ipkiss turn into Wild Symbols.

You’ll imagine yourself in the vivid world of The Mask film, especially during the Wild Random Features of this video slot. Besides entertainment, spinning 1 of these Wild Random Features in the primary game will always bring you great rewards.

The Mask Free spins bonus game

In The Mask video slot, the Congo Bongo Symbol functions as scatter. With 3 Congo Bongo Symbols on reels 3, 4 or 5, you activate the bonus game and get 10 free spins. By spinning 5 Congo Bongo symbols, you can gain up to 25 free spins!

Once admitted to the Congo Bongo nightclub of the movie, aka (also known as) the bonus game, the Congo Bongo Symbol can award you even more substantial profits. A winning combination with a wild multiplies your payout by a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5.

Once Milo, the dog, appears masked, things get really out of control, there is no limit to the number of extra free spins you can win now. That’s when the chance of winning a lot of prizes is greatest.

In my best Jim Carrey voice: “It’s party time!”.

Our verdict on The Mask video slot

NextGen Gaming probably had to put down a lot of money for the iconic The Mask movie’s license, but thanks to satisfied players that will pay off for itself.

The Mask video slot is, first and foremost, a very entertaining online slot that stays true to the classic Jim Carrey movie.

Hats off to NextGen and to how they always manage to get the right feel to every major movie theme they use.

All the film’s main characters are present, and the graphics fit in perfectly to this 90s classic. The background music and the alley from Edge City as a setting allow you to be Stanley Ipkiss, Tina Carlyle or of course The Mask himself!

Plenty of fun extras that are as entertaining as they can be lucrative.

3.8 out of 5 stars.
