Explore the Stone Age With These Neanderthal-Themed Slots

Neanderthal is a term used to refer to people who lived in caves in what we call prehistorical times. The correct use of this word is to delineate an extinct group of archaic humans. For many, they represent the unevolved caveman archetype. However, our perception of them has dramatically changed in recent decades, with scientists now assuming that these humanoids were much smarter than initially thought.

We found twenty-eight slots that have cave people in them that we could call prehistoric humans, and even though not all of these fit the look of what many consider a Neanderthal, we still chose to weed out the best five from this group, and present them to you in this article.

Caveman Bob

We begin our selection of Neanderthal-themed slots with what we would call the most charming game on this list. It comes to us from Relax Gaming, and it lets you explore three distinct worlds. These are Cave, Oasis, and Mountain. Each of these has its variance level and wild features. In the Cave world, low variance is in play, and stalactites fall to turn reels wild. The medium-variance Oasis introduces up to thirteen spreading wilds, and in the Mountain setting, which is the high-variance one, blizzards can randomly add wilds during your gaming fun on this spinner, which includes three shared bonus features that activate at random. The Hand of Bob upgrades low-pay tokens. The Mammoth Re-Spin creates a mega symbol (up to 4×4) and grants you a re-spin, while the Bob’s Wheel lets you spin a fortune wheel for prizes up to x50.

The visuals here are cute, and Bob, the title character, is someone we found endearing. We especially liked the animations in this Relax title and how present Bob is in the extra gameplay. You get cartoony music in this light romp with a default RTP of 96.49%, a max bet of $20, twenty paylines, and a top win of x500. The game grid is the usual 5×3 one, and you should be aware that Caveman Bob has a win cap of $50,000, which we are sure will turn off some readers from this product.

Rock Vegas

Reel Kingdom really did change the interactive gaming sphere with its Big Bass games, and here is another creation from this provider using its bearded fisherman character, who gets sent to the Stone Age this time and is a lot more muscley than in other Reel Kingdom games.

Rock Vegas is a hold & spin mechanic slot whose action transpires on a 10×10 layout where you collect various stones that can merge and multiply your winnings. At the heart of this title is its Mystery Multiplier Trail, through which you progress by gathering keys. Collecting these opens chests with increasing rewards, ultimately leading to a mystery multiplier of up to x100.

In our opinion, the base gameplay here has somewhat of a low-energy vibe, and its frequent bonus teasers will probably annoy many players, who will find them super repetitive. You get met with a high variance math model in Rock Vegas, a max win potential of x10,000 your stake, and unique modifier mechanics for those who crave a bonus-driven experience. The RTP here usually sits at 95.6% from what we can tell, but it ranges, and the max bet goes up to the now usual Pragmatic Play (this game’s distributor) standard of $240 per spin.

Origins

Here is a StakeLogic spinner that features a prehistoric Dennis the Menace-style kid who looks like he is up to no good. This is another RTP-ranging slot, one with a medium-high variance, a hit frequency of 44, and bet sizes that start at $0.20, going up to $20. You again get a 5×3 setup in this product also, which only has ten paylines, but pays out prizes up to x10,000 your bet.

No question, the standout feature here is the Super Hold, where you fill the grid for a full payout. This title includes double and triple symbol extras and offers a Super Stake option, which doubles the chances of triggering both main features. The free spin one in Origins gets inspired by the Big Bass Bonanza games, boasting growing multipliers and extra spins through a trail system.

Anderthals

We thought about adding Blueprint Gaming’s Flintstones slot to this article, but Fred and his buddies are too human-like to get bundled in with Neanderthals. They do not fit. Nonetheless, do not fret, as we have a more than adequate substitute in Andrethals from Just For the Win, a game that features a prehistorical couple that has exaggerated features up to a point where we can classify this title as adequate for the Neanderthal motif, even though only the male is cave person-like enough if we are being frank. His romantic partner is quite ordinary-looking.

That aside, we love this game. Its presentation stole our heart, as did its Feature Spots mechanic, where food items above each reel trigger one of five different reel modifiers. The gaming entertainment here plays out a 5×4 grid with forty paylines, and you get an RTP of 96.12% with bet options that begin at $0.10, up to $100 per spin. The max win varies by stake, reaching 11,000x for minimum bets and 2,219x for maximum ones. Oh, there is also a free spin round here that you can retrigger, where the active modifiers remain in effect for its duration.

1 Million Megaways BC

Iron Dog Studios is the team behind this spinner, which is one of this provider’s lesser-known ones. It is a high variance slot that came out in 2020, boasting a middle-of-the-road RTP setting of 96.2% and a max exposure of x45,000 on a top wager of $20. The layout here shifts due to the Megaways engine, with this game featuring two to seven symbols per reel and up to 117,649 betways, depending on the setup in your round.

The cave people here also look like modern-day humans, but we still chose to include this cascading product where you activate the free spins bonus via four consecutive cascades. Inside this mode, multipliers can exceed x8, climbing by two with each cascade. Also, in this round, the central reel holds up to nine tokens, which expands the number of pay lines to over a million. The Mammoth reel in this feature introduces sticky wilds that remains locked until this mode concludes, which you can buy in specific jurisdictions.
