Mad Labs: upcoming slot by Popiplay
Mad Labs opens the doors to a wonderfully unhinged laboratory, where a wild-haired scientist surrounds himself with glowing terminals, strange inventions and experiments that rarely seem under control. The 5x6, 50-payline setup follows the same idea mechanically, using Mystery Reveals, respins and a Free Spins route that can be pushed further before the experiment begins.

Mystery Reveals Can Open the Golden Reveal Feature
Mystery Reveal Symbols can appear anywhere in both the base game and Free Spins. When the reels stop, every Mystery Reveal Symbol on the screen opens to reveal the same randomly selected result: a paying symbol, a Wild or a Golden Reveal Symbol.
Revealing at least one Golden Reveal Symbol starts the Golden Reveal Feature and awards a respin. The feature introduces several special symbols, including Coins, Collectors and Multipliers. Coin values depend on their type, ranging from 1x, 2x or 5x on Bronze Coins through to 1,000x, 2,500x or 5,000x on the highest-value Bright Golden Coins.
Collector Symbols collect the values of the Coin and Collector Symbols currently on the grid. Collected Coins are removed while the Collector remains, allowing the empty positions to respin. Multiplier Symbols can carry 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x and multiply the values of Coin and Collector Symbols before disappearing and reopening their position.
Free Spins Begin Through the Gamble Route
Free Spins are connected to the Gamble Scatter. In the base game, Scatter Symbols can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and once two Scatters are present there is a chance for a Gamble Scatter to arrive as the third symbol.
The Gamble Scatter can reveal nothing or transform into one of three coloured results. A Purple result awards 4–9 Free Spins at Level 0, Red awards 7–9 Free Spins at Level 2, and Gold awards 8–10 Free Spins at Level 4.
The awarded spins do not begin immediately. They can be accepted at their current level or taken into the Gamble Feature for a chance to improve the award, with the possibility of losing the Free Spins completely.
During Free Spins, Golden Reveal can appear again. Bonus Spins Symbols are added to its possible special symbols and award 1, 2 or 3 additional Free Spins according to the displayed value.
Bonus Buy and Chance Booster Offer Alternative Routes
Mad Labs includes four Bonus Buy choices. The Low Level option awards 7, 8 or 9 Free Spins at Level 0, the Mid Level option gives 7, 8 or 9 at Level 2, and the High Level option starts with 8, 9 or 10 Free Spins at Level 4. Mystery Free Spins randomly selects one of these three setups.
The Chance Booster instead increases the cost of a base-game spin in exchange for an improved chance of reaching Free Spins. It is available only outside the bonus round.
Experiments with a 30,000x Ceiling
Mad Labs treats its bonus paths like experiments on the scientist's workbench: one reveal can open another respin, while a Free Spins award can be kept or risked in search of a stronger starting position. That mixture of uncertainty and controlled escalation suits the chaotic laboratory setting, with the maximum possible win capped at 30,000x the bet.
