The Contact™ casino game powered by Play'n Go software is a 5×7 grid where symbols will cascade down in an attempt to form groups of winning items by any means possible. Wins will be achieved when 5 or more matching symbols in a group connect by touching horizontally, vertically or even as a pair in the best odds. Each symbol has a value and the total win of the round will be calculated by multiplying the number of matching symbols by the value of the icon.
Martin and his archaeologist friends have just received a strange email, with a map pointing to a sacred temple lost in the far reaches of the Amazon. This was the one they had been looking for for years, but to no avail! Now, how to find out if the map was real: there was only one way to find out if the information traced was real. The only possible solution was to take courage and go there! They were in the middle of an investigation into Aztec remains that had been found in Elche, Spain under the Central Market.
They had to talk to their sponsor because he was the one who decided where they would go each time. Martin decided to call him to discuss it. It was really interesting but, as he said, the only way to check the veracity of the data was to go there. José, their sponsor, tells him that there is no problem but that they must first finish what they started in Spain. As the conversation goes on it becomes more and more interesting, and José offers to take three of his men to the event.
He had to leave someone he trusted in charge of everything in Spain and he would pay for their trip. The only condition was that if they didn't find anything, they would have to pay him back for the trip. He would send him the contract and as soon as it was signed and returned José would pay for the tickets and send him money for their shipment. Martin was too happy. What they had been looking for for years was finally within their reach.
The choice was going to be difficult as he could not take all his men. He had to choose three, but who would he leave for the job they had in Spain? Franck told him not to worry. He would stay on himself to manage the discoveries in Elche, Spain and he would only have to choose the three men who would accompany him. Paul, Karl and Phil would do. They loved to travel and above all they all shared the same passion for the Aztec civilisation.
Once everything was organised, they would fly to Ecuador and then take a small plane to get as close as possible to the place marked on the map they had printed. It wasn't going to be easy but they had to discover this place. After several days of walking and intense fatigue, our four archaeologists arrived in front of a majestic temple: had they arrived?
During a game, winning groups will not be deleted, instead non-winning symbols will be deleted and winning items will cascade and stay put. A few moments later, new symbols will cascade in to fill the grid. These new icons can connect to other existing winning symbols to increase the size of the clusters or create new ones. The game will continue until there are no more possible combinations.
During the main game, filling the second, fourth or sixth row with winning symbols gives a total win multiplier of x2, x3 or x4 respectively and only the highest win multiplier will be used. Accessing the top row with winning symbols to trigger the Super Bonus Round (Bonus and Super Bonus can only activate during the main Contact™ game).
Players start each bonus round with 3 free spins and each Super Bonus Round with 6 free spins. The winning groups remain on the grid throughout the bonus and super bonus round which means that the winnings can increase throughout the rounds. During the bonus round, filling rows 2, 3, 5 or 6 with winning representations has the immediate effect of multiplying the total winnings by x2, x3, x4 or x5!
Filling rows 1, 4 or 7 with winning clusters will award one of three special features, which will be applied at the end of this individual free spin called Block Destroyer, which destroys one of the multiplying blocks, allowing the other additional multiplying block to go on top, possibly increasing the awarded multiplier.
The symbol upgrade upgrades one of the winning clusters in the grid to the next best symbol and the Extra Free Spins will give an extra spin. During the Super Bonus Round, any row of winning clusters awards a total win multiplier and a special feature. The special features in the Super Bonus Round are much more powerful than in the Bonus Round.
The Block Destroyer destroys 3 of the multiplier blocks allowing other multiplier blocks to cascade and other multiplier blocks to fall to the top, possibly increasing the multiplier awarded, the upgrade symbol it upgrades all winning clusters in the grid to the next best symbol. Extra Free Spins award 3 extra free spins!
With the Block Destroyer in the Super Bonus Round it is possible to win up to 30 times the total win multiplier! The total win is calculated at the end of the bonus round or Super Bonus Round. If the grid is filled with winning symbols before all free spins have been used the player receives 25x the total bet for each remaining free spin. It is possible to win up to 1517.5 times the total bet!
The Play'n Go software comes to offer us this spectacular cascading slot machine under the theme of sacred temples and the Aztec civilization. The Contact™ online game is defined as a little 5×7 wonder that invites us to enter the deep jungle of the Amazon to discover a temple of a thousand riches. The game, which uses the Country Cluster technique, is very nurturing in addition to being generous. The return to the player is 96% but the volatility is quite high which allows us to test the features very quickly.
The bets range from 0.20 to £100, a fairly good range for all types of players to be comfortable with, as not everyone has the same amount of money to play with. It will also depend on the experience of each player, the time they have and their interest in the game. In fun mode, by betting £100 in a few rounds I was able to trigger all the features and win £19,940!
It makes you want to continue, that's for sure! It's not the same to play a slot machine that is slow to activate features and give prizes as one that will trigger quickly or give a lot of prizes even if they are not huge. This phenomenon can completely influence our view, and either make us stay or try to find a new Play'n Go slot that will suit us better.
The interface is very well done, you really feel like you are in the jungle and at the entrance of the Aztec temple! The details are very neat, the creative team of Play'n Go has done an excellent job. It must be said that with the competition that there is in recent years to occupy the first positions of the ranking it is really necessary to carburet at the bottom, to be original or to release games of chance out of the ordinary to catch the player who becomes more and more demanding and who does not conform any more with anything.
