The Walking Dead Review
A developer has partnered with AMC Networks, securing rights to AMC and WE tv brands. The slot version of The Walking Dead creates a creepy atmosphere with its soundtrack. Main characters (Negan, Michonne, Daryl, Carol and Rick Grimes) are premium symbols, and stacked wilds come with zombie animations.
The features are not highly innovative but functional. A streak respins style Tower feature offers unlockable multiplier rows and jackpots up to 1,000x your stake. Five different randomly selected bonus round versions are available when the feature triggers. The math model may not impress experienced players, and a 2,000x potential may seem low.
The Walking Dead Slot Features
The Wild symbol substitutes for regular pay symbols, and is also the highest paying symbol together with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Landing 5 wilds awards 3x your stake, while premium symbols pay between 2 and 3 x your stake for the same. When 2 or 3 wilds appear on the same reel they merge into a stacked zombie wild.
The Tower Feature triggers with 6+ coin symbols, and the triggering coins become sticky on a cleared grid. This is a hold-and-win style feature where the 3 respins you start with resets for every new sticky coin symbol you land.
Some coin symbols land with a key attached, and you need to collect 2 to unlock extra rows. Rows 7 and 8 come with an x2 and x5 multiplier, which applies to all regular cash coins. The 9th row lands Biohazard coins, awarding 1 of the 4 jackpots:
- Grand Jackpot pays 1,000x your stake.
- Major Jackpot pays 200x your stake.
- Minor Jackpot pays 50x your stake.
- Mini Jackpot pays 20x your stake.
The Tower streak respins style feature continues until you run out of spins, or fill the grid with coins.
At least 3 shield scatters trigger the Bonus Round, and you get a scatter win of 1, 10 or 50 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 scatters. You get 6 free spins, and 1 of the 5 versions of the bonus round is selected randomly. Landing 3+ scatters awards +6 extra spins, and here is an overview of the 5 bonus round versions:
- The Horde - expands wild and coin symbols on the 3 middle reels to fill the entire reel.
- Saviors - adds a random multiplier to coin or wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. The values are added together when you win (does not apply to Biohazard coins).
- Alexandria - awards a respins feature that freezes the regular free spins counter when a full stack of coins land. The coin stack moves 1 position to the left per respin.
- The Whisperers - gives you up to 3 reels that land as special reels with wilds and coin symbols only.
- The Wild Walkers - awards respins when a stack of wilds land, and the free spins counter is frozen as the stacked wild moves 1 step to the left per respin. All coins that land during the feature turn into wilds, and a full stack of coins turn into an additional walking wild.
The 200 Spins The Walking Dead Slot Experience
After base game play, enough coins triggered The Tower respins feature. The Free Spins round followed.
Review Summary
The Walking Dead is a branded effort, and fans of the TV series will be drawn in by the soundtrack. The main characters are represented on the reels, and there are bonus features.
The medium volatility gives this game broad appeal, but the 2,000x potential may not impress experienced players. The 5 bonus round versions offer variety. It's a high quality production, but there is nothing really new in terms of features.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| The Tower streak respins with 4 jackpots | The RTP is a tad below average |
| 5 different Free Spins bonus rounds | |
| Win up to 2,000x your stake |
