Whether we are talking about evolutionary Darwinism or social Darwinism, there's little doubt that evolution itself has made quite the impact in our present world. As a result, it shouldn't be too surprising that casino games maker NetEnt has decided to toss an ode to Charles Darwin in the form of his very own pokie – at least it has some elements of the theory.

The first thing you notice are the animal symbols representing early organisms such as trilobites and mollusks. These are not static, however, and can morph into new forms if you line up paying symbol combinations. Although you can play the demo version for free, your only chance to actually win real cash and prizes is by downloading the casino software and making a deposit to play for real money.

The betting mechanism is on the lower left-hand side of the game board, and you can bet in increments of 25 game credits. To lower or increase your coin wager, use the Coin Value arrows at the bottom of the game board screen. The goal is to rack up matching symbols in this 5-reel, 25-payline pokie. This is not an All Ways Pays video slot, so expect payouts from left to right only. As usual, the game has a substitute symbol (wild) that can replace others to complete winning combinations. The main bonus is the scatter icon, which triggers the Bonus Free Games Feature when landing three or more on the reels.

Wagering for Cash Opportunities in Evolution Slots

With 25 active paylines, you can choose to keep them all active. As a veteran of online games, keeping them active optimizes between minimum and maximum coins per payline. You can wager 1 to 10 coins per line, with coin sizes from 0.01 to 0.5. The top jackpot is 2500 coins, multiplied by your line bet.

Weird and Fun Symbols on the Paytable

The paytable symbols are strange and exciting monsters unique to this game. The top symbol is a flying squirrel-like Dragonius Rex; five of a kind pays 500 coins, four pays 150, three pays 50. Just as weird is Basilisk Pluma, a hopping rat-rabbit; five pays 250, four 100, three 25.

Third is the green-hued Basilisk Hairicus; five pays 200, four 75, three 20. Fourth is the fearsome Bestia Dentum; five pays 175, four 60, three 15. Lowest is Albus Slugus, a snail-like mollusk; five pays 150, four 50, three 12. Only the highest win per payline pays out, from left to right.
