There’s only one word to describe The Mask mobile slot: Smokin’!
We are going to admit that we are probably of just the right generation to remember watching the film The Mask one too many times.
Launched to coincide with the movies 25th birthday, NextGen Gaming has created a slot machine that is true to the film and brings just about the right nostalgic notes.
If you weren’t a fan of the movie, play on The Mask slot anyway; it’s got 20 paylines that pay both ways, all for the low minimum bet of 0.10 a spin. This was made to be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
One of the nice things about this NextGen phone slot is how well they’ve integrated iconic scenes from the movie into their bonus features.
For example, at any point, an alarm clock might start ringing around the reels, and The Mask character will pop in and destroy it, leaving behind a 2×2 mega wild symbol.
Or the actual wooden mask will glow on screen and turn any Stanley Ipkiss symbols into wild Green Mask symbols.
It fits, it works, it’s totally random and chaotic and huge fun. Especially as with pay both ways reels, these wilds really help give this slot game momentum.
Which must be really hard to catch right? Not really. We hit them about once every 50 spins or so.
And because of that, you are talking getting wins of around 10x to 15x your bet on most occasions. That’s the downside of getting frequent hitting free spins.
The plus side is that you get lots of free spins. Better yet, these aren’t there as a token bonus game. Oh no.
Those four random wild features appear more often, and any win with a wild comes with a 2x to 5x multiplier – which is where you can get that top win of 30,000 times your bet.
We love the details in this mobile casino game. How instead of movie clips which you might find in the Anchorman slot game, the scenes are integrated into the game.
How the background is a modern take on that classic dance scene outside the park. How the free spins take you to the hottest club in town.
But better yet, we love how The Mask game brings the same energy of the movie onto the screen, creates a whirlwind of action, but with a core sweetness that will make you fall in love with its potential for a huge payoff.

Wild: Stanley as The Mask is the wild symbol and he can substitute for any character on the reels to create a win, except for bonus scatter.
Pays Both Ways Slot: You get wins over the 20 payline whether the symbols line up from left to right or right to left.
Random Wild Feature: During any spin, any of the following features may trigger randomly.
Scatters and Free Spins: 3, 4 or 5 Coco Bongo club scatters trigger 10, 15, or 25 free spins respectively.
Any wild symbols will now pay out with either a 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x multiplier.
The random wild features increase in frequency, and only 1 or 2 scatters can give you 2 to 5 extra random free spins - so easy to re-trigger too.
We suppose we will begrudgingly admit that if you didn't like the original movie, you might want to remove a star form our review.
We assume you didn't like it because of the cartoony over the top Jim Carrey, and he certainly isn't toned down in this mobile or online slot.
You can turn the sound off if you like, but you can't deny that what you have here is a fun, well balanced, bonus game that keeps the actions in the reels.
Unlike slots like Wild Circus or The Champions, where all the actions are on the mini-games, here's it's all about watching the madness unfold over 20 paylines and 5 reels, making it a joy of a video slot.
