Zombie Slot Mania

Zombies can be treated in a lot of ways as a general motif, and in the Zombie Slot Mania game by Spinomenal, you'll see it treated in a less-than-serious way. There's a fair amount of blood and guts in this title, but none of it is particularly realistic or graphic. There's a bit of a goofy twist to how the zombies are handled in this particular title.

Here's what you need to understand about this game: If you like zombie titles, and you like games with a low volatility, then you'll love what this slot brings to the table. If not, then you may find that it's not your particular cup of tea.

Format and Layout

What we really like about the format for this game is that it's set up in a way that gives players a ton of ways to get paid. Five reels and three rows make up the main grid of symbols, but it's the 50 paylines that really brings the point home.

You'll change your bet size by manipulating how much is wagered on each spin. For example, you'll be able to pick from $0.01 to $10 per turn, and that puts you in the driver's seat to pick bet sizes ranging from $0.50 to $500 on each spin. Keep in mind that the maximum bet size might be dropped down a bit to something around $100 at many casinos, but that won't affect very many players overall.

Surprise Wild Symbols

There's a goofy baby zombie sitting around eating brains while sitting in a diaper, and he's the Surprise Wild symbol that only appears during the free spins. This symbol has a random chance of showing up on any given spin, and that's the kind of thing that players can be happy about whenever it happens.

A few things are going on with this symbol that you need to know about. First, it substitutes for anything but the bonus symbols. Second, it works together with the other wilds, though it doesn't get its own particular winning combinations.

Sticky Wilds

Also available during the free spins mode are sticky wild symbols, and these will stay in place until the end of the bonus round. It's one of those things that help you to get paid over and over again, so the amount of value that they bring to the table can't really be overstated.

Activating Free Spins

When you get at least three of the bonus symbols on the reels at the same time, then you'll activate the free spins mode. The bonus symbols show a zombie trying to get through a door, and you'll always be given 15 free spins at a time whenever you activate the feature. You can't re-trigger the feature, but you can get the extra types of sticky and surprise wilds on the game board during this mode.

Important Wins and Payouts

A 120x win is available for five of a kind combinations of the clown symbol. The dog pays ou t100x for five, and the hilarious ballerina zombie is worth 80x. Wins of 70x can be found with the zombie playing soccer or the one playing baseball with his brains leaking out.

Two more win tiers are available under that. At the 60x level, you'll get wins for five of the headstone or five of the chainsaw. The baseball bat with nails in it pays out at 50x, and you can win 30x for five of the radioactive warning sign.

Some of these wins might seem like they're on the smaller side, but because there are 50 paylines, you'll get paid a lot more often than you might initially think, so it balances out.

Our Thoughts

This is a fun game by Spinomenal that brings together a fun spin on the zombie theme. It's not the most serious title out there, but the graphics are pretty funny if you're not grossed out by a bit of cartoon blood and brains.

On the gameplay end of the situation, it's a low-volatility title with some features that stand out, especially the extra wilds in the free spins mode. It doesn't really offer much other than that, so it's one of those things where this title won't really be a good fit for all players.
