Developed by Betsoft Gaming, Madder Scientist is a December 2011 pseudoscientific html5 video slot whose prequel is titled Mad Scientist (January 2011). Themes: alchemy, scientific experiment, transmutation, and electromagnetism. Its trailer revisits the recent past, when the insane scientist invented a solution that transforms objects into golden items; although the scientist did grab the headlines after successfully experimenting the solution on a carrot, he consequently razed down his laboratory and injured himself in a huge blast that also wounded both his female assistant and their pet rabbit.

Madder Scientist Game Characteristics
Madder Scientist is set in a nightly, moonlit three-story “sector 6” laboratory whose lit windows stand out in its downtown location. Inside the laboratory, the game’s partitioned 5X3 grid is embedded on an extensive silver gray-and-black compressed air piping system.

There are 30 left-to-right adjustable paylines, eleven symbols, eleven coin sizes, five bet levels, 935 total bets, locked wild reels, two scatters, buyable re-spin, two bonus games, click-and-reveal game, free games, no side game, and pays from $0.05 to $2500.00.

Madder Scientist has three special symbols and eight ordinary symbols. Special symbols: the substituting wild is a grayish lever switch, with red and green buttons; the click-and-reveal game is associated with a pair of green and orange “pick me” beakers; and the bonus game-triggering scatter is a carrot.

Ordinary symbols: the Serbian-American engineer Nikola Tesla lookalike protagonist is a bespectacled, elderly scientist Dr. Walter Prescott in white; bespectacled petite female assistant in white; surprised brown rabbit; lit bulb; white microscope; wooden test tube rack; yellow molecules; and “danger high voltage” electrical safety sign.

The Madder Scientist coin sizes: $0.01, $0.02, $0.03, $0.04, $0.05, $0.10, $0.15, $0.20, $0.25, $0.50, and $1.00. Number of paylines: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, and 30. Minimum bet: $0.01. Maximum bet: $150.00.

The $150.00 bet offers these Madder Scientist payouts. Two, three, four, and five combinations: Dr. Walter Prescott pays $75.00, $1000.00, $1250.00, and $2500.00; assistant pays $50.00, $500.00, $1250.00, and $2500.00; rabbit pays $25.00, $300.00, $750.00, and $2000.00; and bulb pays $25.00, $250.00, $500.00, and $1500.00.

Three, four, or five combinations: microscope pays $200.00, $375.00, and $1000.00; test tube rack pays $150.00, $300.00, and $500.00; molecules pays $100.00, $200.00, and $375.00; and electrical safety sign pays $50.00, $100.00, and $200.00.

Three beakers on the corner or middle reels prompt a click-and-reveal game, where clicking the beakers offer random credits and/or free games. 3+ scattered lever switches prompt a bonus game, where one cyan “wild” reel is locked for several retriggerable rounds. 3+ carrots prompt the chemical color-touching bonus game; players are prompted to choose both chemical compound colors (blue, or red, or purple) and stabilizing chemical colors (green, or yellow, or orange) that then results in a silver or golden carrot.

Each winning or winless spin prompts the player to buy the subsequent re-spin by pressing the “respin” on the five reels; the bought reel, whose varying cost is based on their possibility of completing a combination, re-spins solely while the other four reels are locked. Madder Scientist’s non-progressive jackpot is $32825.00.

The good Madder Scientist software features: desktop and mobile versions; icons set on beakers; quick spin; and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 100 autospins. Sound effects: bubbling and crackling. The animated 3D graphics: toggled lever switch, capillarity, electromagnetism, and titration.
