Beast Gains

Beast Gains Slot Review: Relax Gaming's Muscle-Bound Jungle Cruise

Beast Gains, from Relax Gaming, takes its name from two of the studio's earlier releases and borrows a bit of DNA from both — the result is a busy, feature-dense jungle adventure starring a crew of oversized, muscular beasts. The base game unfolds against a river backdrop that scrolls sideways as play progresses, eventually reaching different destinations tied to the game's various bonus rounds, giving the whole experience a sense of forward journey rather than a static reel set.

Grid, cascades, and the Feature Trail

Beast Gains runs on a 6-reel, 4-row grid delivering 4,096 ways to win, with a cascade mechanic clearing winning symbols and dropping new ones in to potentially chain further wins on the same spin. Running along the top of the screen is a Feature Trail, a progression system capable of triggering bonuses both in the base game and during free spins, adding an extra layer of anticipation on top of the standard cascade-and-cluster gameplay.

The paytable and wild

Ten to Ace card royals sit at the bottom of the paytable, paying between 0.6x and 1.2x stake, while a set of animal masks — shark, rhinoceros, crocodile, and lion — along with a top-paying lion symbol fill out the premium tier, worth between 2x and 25x for six of a kind. Wilds land exclusively on reels two through six, substituting for every regular paying symbol to help complete winning combinations.

Three bonus rounds and an Enhanced Bet option

Where Beast Gains really shows its ambition is in its bonus structure — three separate, selectable bonus rounds sit behind the Feature Trail, giving players meaningfully different routes into the game's biggest win potential rather than a single fixed free spins mode. An Enhanced Bet option is also available, letting players pay extra per spin to boost the chances of triggering free spins for those who'd rather chase the features directly.

RTP, volatility, and the numbers that count

The default RTP on Beast Gains sits at 96.1%, a solid figure for a high-volatility title with this much going on beneath the surface. That high volatility rating fits the multiple bonus rounds well — most of the real upside is concentrated in the features rather than the base game. The maximum win is a serious 25,000x the triggering stake, one of the stronger ceilings in this batch of reviews, with bets ranging from 0.10 up to 40 per spin.

Final take

Beast Gains delivers on its ambitious billing — three bonus rounds, a Feature Trail, an Enhanced Bet option, and a genuinely eye-catching 25,000x max win all combine into a slot with plenty to explore. It's clearly built for players who enjoy digging through layered mechanics rather than a simple, single-feature game.
