Origins Slot Review
Origins is a new video slot from Stakelogic that was released on December 15, 2022. You will be transported to a period far before the invention of automobiles, factories, and other forms of contemporary technology while playing this game. This game features humans from prehistoric times using a variety of weapons, such as knives, axes, and other implements, in order to get through the day. The visual style of Origins is reminiscent of a contemporary animated film produced by Pixar or Dreamworks. The story's four primary characters, two adults and two youngsters, are presented in a straightforward and cute way. The reels are positioned inside a stone frame, and there is a blue sky with clouds visible to the sides of the frame. In addition, there is something that looks like a dinosaur flying to the right of the reels. The music in Origins is mesmerizing and features hand drums, giving the impression that it is being played by people gathered around a campfire. Read our review to decide whether it is worth your time and money playing it.

Origins Bonus Features
Wild
Acts your regular wild symbol, but can appear only on reels 2-5.
Super Hold Feature
The Super Hold Feature is activated when a complete reel stack of the Super Hold Symbol lands on the first reel in the main game. When the first reel comes to a halt, the feature immediately starts, and you are given 3 Respins as a reward.
During this feature, the only symbol that may appear is the Super Hold Symbol. The amount of respins is increased according to the number of Super Hold Symbols that have previously landed whenever one of these symbols does (a split Super Hold Symbol counts as one symbol providing one respin). The Super Hold Symbol can also divide into 2 or 3 symbols, giving you more chances to win.
Free Spins
During the main game, if you collect 3, 4, or 5 Scatters, you will be given 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, depending on how many Scatters you collected. A normal symbol will be randomly selected from the set of 9 before the Free Spins round begins. During the whole of the Free Spins round, monetary values will be overlaid on top of the selected symbol. The Bonus Symbol will appear when you are participating in Free Spins. The Collector Symbol will gather the monetary values that are shown on the selected symbol, and those values will be paid out within the same spin. On the top bar, you'll be collecting the Collector Symbols as they appear. Free Spins will be retriggered with more Free Spins and an enhanced Collector Symbol Multiplier on the following Free Spin until the conclusion of the Free Spins round. This will continue until all four 4 Collector Symbols have been gathered. The multiplier that is attached to the Collector Symbol is going to be raised. Here are the levels that you can go though and they will result in the following bonuses:
You start your Free Spins here with no multiplier
- +10 Free Spins and a multiplier of x2 for 4 Collector Symbols
- +8 Free Spins and a multiplier of x3 for 8 Collector Symbols
- +6 Free Spins and a multiplier of x5 for 12 Collector Symbols.
Super Stake Feature
Once you have activated SUPER STAKE, your odds of triggering Free Spins and the Super Hold Feature while playing the main game will be doubled. This feature will cost you 2 times your bet per spin.
Buy Feature
There is a choice between 4 different option that you trigger straight from the main game:
- 10 Free Spins for 100 times the bet.
- 15 Free Spins for 200 times the bet.
- 20 Free Spins for 300 times the bet.
- Random amount of Frespins for 150 times the bet.
Our Experience Playing Origins
When we started playing the game, we were greeted with a reelset that had different cute symbols on it and music that was pleasant to the ears. The overall design was pretty straightforward, but nice looking. We were aware that the way slot machines function in terms of the winnings they might potentially provide is the primary factor that attracts the vast majority of people to play them. We placed a deposit that was the same as our usual amount, which is 200 Euros, and we set the stake to 1 Euro. After that, we played this game for something in the region of 300 rounds. The objective of this was to put it through its paces and see how well it holds up. The first thing that caught our attention during our first 100 spins was the amount of dead spins that we got taking into consideration the aforementioned hit frequency. Even though we lost 80 Euros during our first attempt, we knew that this slot had an extreme level of volatility so it did not scare us off and we continued. During our next 100 spins the situation in terms of payouts was the same, except we triggered 10 Free Spins, but it paid us only 28 times our bet which was quite disappointing. We were left with 60 Euros on our balance and decided to go all by activating the Super Stake Feature. Luckily, we were successful in triggering Free Spins not long after we did that, and it paid as an “Insane Win” of 212 Euros which made us go 59 Euros in profit. At that point we decided not to finish our 300 spins, and left the game while we could take some money home.
Origins Slot Verdict
This adorable little monster is not suitable for those with a weak stomach. The extreme level of volatility of this slot machine will, without a doubt, cause you to feel anxious. It's fantastic that there are a ton of additional features, but in the roughly 250 spins that we played through, we didn't get to experience that many of them, so the claim is up to debate. Even though we won some money playing this slot, we would not suggest it to just anybody, rather, we would only recommend it to folks who feel like they have an exceptionally good chance of winning. If you are one of those folks, we wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy yourself while playing this slot.
