About the Game
- The multiplier doubles with each winning avalanche.
- The game grid expands to 5×7 during free spins.
- Predator’s Strike skips or increases the multiplier
- Additional chance to win with the final bite
Raptor 3 by Yggdrasil Gaming is played on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 243 ways to win in the base game, paying out from left to right. During the free spins feature, the grid can expand to 5 reels and 7 rows, offering up to 16,807 ways to win. The game features 4 low-paying symbols, represented by card suits, and 4 high-paying symbols, depicted as dinosaurs.
A wild symbol is present, which substitutes for all regular symbols and is awarded via the avalanche mechanic. There is also a scatter symbol – a dinosaur egg – that triggers the free spins feature, which includes expanding reels and a “Last Bite” mechanic. Each avalanche win advances the player further up the “Double Max” multiplier ladder. The “Predator Strike” feature can trigger on any spin – in both the base game and the free spins – and can either skip steps or boost the player’s position on the Double Max multiplier ladder.

Game Rules
Wild
The Wild symbol substitutes for all low-paying and high-paying symbols.
The Wild symbol does not substitute for the Scatter symbol.
The Wild symbol is not part of the reel strip. It never lands on the grid during a spin, nor does it appear as a new symbol following an avalanche.
The Wild symbol is awarded exclusively via the avalanche feature. Each avalanche win adds exactly one Wild symbol to a randomly selected position among those vacated by that win.
The Wild symbol appears in both the base game and the free spins feature.
Scatter Symbol
The scatter symbol is represented by a dinosaur egg.
The scatter symbol does not have a payout of its own.
Landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game triggers the free spins feature.
During the free spins feature, landing scatter symbols awards additional free spins and triggers the “Last Bite” feature.
3 scatter symbols: +1 free spin and the “Last Bite” feature is triggered.
4 scatter symbols: +2 free spins and the “Last Bite” feature is triggered.
5 scatter symbols: +3 free spins and the “Last Bite” feature is triggered.
Predator Strike
The Predator Strike feature is active during the base game and, in particular, during free spins.
A predator’s head may randomly emerge from the bushes at the edge of the game grid as the reels begin to spin. This can occur during an initial spin or an avalanche sequence, and it may trigger a specific effect.
If the predator’s head appears, it strikes before the symbols land on the grid. It may grant one of two possible effects – or no effect at all – before disappearing.
If no win lands on the grid, the predator’s head will not appear.
There are two types of Predator Strike:
Claws – Multiplier Skip: One randomly selected level is removed from the Double Max multiplier ladder. The level is chosen from either the current multiplier level or any level that has not yet been reached. A level that has already been passed can never be removed. If the removed level is the current multiplier level, the multiplier immediately advances to the next level. If the removed level is a future level, that level is skipped once the multiplier reaches that stage.
Roar – multiplier increase. The current DoubleMax multiplier increases by 1 step on the multiplier ladder, regardless of whether a win occurs. Subsequent levels on the DoubleMax multiplier ladder are calculated by adding a value to the current multiplier (for example, x4 becomes x5, followed by x10, x20, x40, etc.).
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the board during the base game triggers the free spins feature. The number of free spins and the size of the board depend on the number of scatter symbols landed:
3 scatter symbols – 5 free spins on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 243 winning combinations.
4 scatter symbols – 7 free spins on a 5-reel, 5-row grid with 3,125 winning combinations.
5 scatter symbols – 9 free spins on a 5-reel, 7-row grid with 16,807 winning combinations.
Free spins are played at the same bet level as the spin that triggered the feature.
The DoubleMax multiplier starts at x1 and does not reset between spins.
The Predator Strike feature is active during the free spins round.
When the free spins feature ends, the total winnings from the free spins are added to the winnings from the spin that triggered the feature.
Last Bite
During the free spins feature, landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols triggers the “Last Bite” feature. This awards additional free spins, and all scatter symbols on the board are destroyed, triggering an avalanche and providing another chance to win. This avalanche does not increase the Double Max multiplier, nor does it add a wild symbol.
Avalanche
All winning combinations trigger an avalanche.
When a win lands on the board, the winning symbols are removed, and the following occurs simultaneously:
Exactly 1 Wild symbol is added to a randomly selected position among those vacated by the win.
The DoubleMax multiplier increases by one level.
The remaining symbols then drop down, creating empty spaces, and new symbols fall from the top of the board to fill the gaps.
The board is evaluated again. The avalanche continues as long as new wins land on the board.
Doublemax Multiplier
Each win in an avalanche sequence doubles the DoubleMax multiplier, raising it by one level.
The DoubleMax multiplier applies to every win for which it is active.
During base gameplay, the DoubleMax multiplier resets to x1 whenever no win occurs on the reels.
In the Free Spins feature, the DoubleMax multiplier does not reset between spins; it starts at x1 and continues to increase throughout the entire Free Spins session.
There is no hard limit to the DoubleMax multiplier – it can grow infinitely.
