Professor Clank’s Combinator Review

It’s almost a relief to finally see a release with a somewhat ordinary number of win ways from Reel Play, as they keep experimenting with so many different engines. When we say ordinary, it’s not quite the case though, as Professor Clank’s Combinator comes with a highly unusual streak winning symbol ‘homogenizing stacking system’. It’s called Explosions, Morphs, Boosters & Drops, but more about that in the feature section below.

Needless to say, the stacking winning symbol system will increase the number of win ways in the base game, up to 707 at best. We also like how you pull a lever on each spin, which dumps the old symbols into the molten metal below. The steampunk visuals are nicely done, and the bonus round is all about stacking cash scatters up to 100x your stake, as well as bonus scatters up to 2,000x your stake. The 10,000x win cap will most likely require the post-bonus gamble option though.

Professor Clank’s Combinator Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2 and 10 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the professor Wild steps in for any pay symbol to help complete wins. The Wild can appear on reels 2 to 5 only, and it holds no value of its own.

The usual symbol drop and cascading mechanic comes with an elaborate twist in this game, and we’ll walk you through it below.

Whenever you land a win, all non-winning symbols are removed except scatter symbols. The remaining symbols after the ‘explosion phase’ drop to the lowest possible positions. If more than one symbol type is present, all winning symbols morph into the most valuable symbol type. After the ‘morph phase’, any symbols not in a winning position will be ‘boosted’ by new matching symbols being added to adjacent positions to make it a winner.

If the symbol columns are less than 5 positions in height, a new symbol is dropped on top of each column after the explosion, morph and booster phases have played out. If the symbol improves the win, it remains.

If not, it explodes, but scatters also remain. If your total win is improved, you get a new drop until it isn’t. That’s when the final win calculation occurs.

Landing or accumulating at least 5 scatters triggers the Bonus Respins feature, and all symbols except the triggering scatters are removed. The scatters drop to the bottom positions, and you start with 3 respins. New symbols drop on top of each bottom column, unless the column is maxed out with 5 positions in height.

If scatters land, they remain in place, while non-scatters symbols explode on impact. Each scatter that lands reset the spin tally to 3 again, and each scatter comes with a cash prize between 1x and x100x. The feature ends when you run out of spins or fill the grid, and you can land bronze, silver, gold and platinum jackpot scatters worth 10x, 50x, 250x or 2,000x your stake, respectively.

You get the option to gamble your bonus round winnings as the feature ends, and this is done on a wheel of fortune. You can choose your win multiplier seamlessly from x1.25 to x10, and you can risk only half your total winnings if you wish.

You can gamble up to 3 times, but losing means you lose it all.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may purchase the bonus round for 50x the stake. This guarantees at least 5 triggering scatters on the spin that follows.

You get to see a few explosion drop sequences in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:23 into the 3:48-minute highlights video. We got the minimum of 5 triggering scatters from the drop sequence, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Professor Clank’s Combinator is the kind of game that both looks and sounds more complicated than it actually is when you watch our test session video and read about the features. The base game is basically all about stacking up the best possible win as symbols explode, morph, boost and so forth. Hopefully, enough scatters will appear during the stacking sequence to also trigger the bonus round.

The bonus round is basically a hold-and-win style feature where it’s all about stacking as many cash scatters as possible before you run out of respins. What you really want is the bonus prize aka jackpot scatters, of course, as these come with values up to 2,000x your stake.

The 10,000x potential is the gamble feature win cap more than anything else, and it’s nice to see Reel Play take a break from the ‘endless’ infinity reels releases.

Pros

• 50x Bonus Buy (not for UK players)
