Zombies Slot Machine

Zombies is a massively loved NetEnt game. With this slot, you'll encounter a free spins bonus with an increasing multiplier, and an awesome last stand in which you empty a whole lot of shotgun shells into an incoming zombie horde in the mall, stacked Wilds that can really adjust how things will turn out, or a random Wild feature.

There comes a time when we all dream we could get away from the regular routine of life. For the rules of society to stop working, for a disaster to sweep away any limitations, and for the strongest and fittest to survive. That's the appeal of zombies for many people. Shambling, slow and easy to dodge, but in great numbers and comprised of your fellow humans, it's every man for himself in this new, shattered world.

The user interface will be rather familiar to anyone who has played a NetEnt title before - everything is clearly labelled, easy to access, without too much confusion. One thing that we found ourselves not being too fond of, however, was the familiar bright green that's part of every NetEnt title, as it clashes with the dark blue backdrop of the abandoned mall fiercely. You get used to it after a while, but we have to wonder if the artists couldn't have adjusted the exact colour, or maybe changed the backdrop's colour to fit a bit better.

Even in the post-apocalyptic setting of Zombies, we cannot escape playing card symbols. To be fair to the developers, however, the spray-painted design and the cyan colour make 10, J, Q, K and A look like some hastily applied military markings of safe or dangerous zones. And the rest of the symbols are all about those bloody, gory details. A fireman's axe and a baseball bat, both bloody and ready for zombie smashing, a detached eyeball, a rotten bloody brain, a gas mask, and a bloodied chainsaw.

Free spins are activated by collecting three Scatter symbols anywhere on the second, third and fourth reel, and they always reward five extra turns. During this time, after every free spin, the multiplier increases, and you're taken to the dark mall where you shoot zombies for cash prizes. After five free spins, a lot of zombie shooting, and a multiplier that reaches up to x10, you get to enjoy the other two bonuses. The first are stacked Wilds, which can be nudged up and down to fill the reels, but do not appear during free spins.

The random Wild feature appears randomly, and creates up to six Wild icons randomly on the playing field. It also does not occur during free spins.

While we usually like our features interacting with each other, the free spins bonus is so strong for profit that, under the right circumstances, having stacked Wilds or random Wilds would make it rather ridiculous. This way, you have cool bonuses you can see during normal gameplay, and once you finally reach the free spins, it's more or less a guaranteed jackpot.

We quite enjoyed our time with Zombies. It's a medium volatility slot with an RTP of 97.2%. The visuals and atmosphere are top notch, and the variety of features makes for fun gameplay. The free spins should also see you succeed with some massive wins.

The Zombies real money slots game can be found at licensed casinos in the UK and other regulated jurisdictions. With an RTP of 97.2% and a free spins multiplier that builds up to x10, Zombies offers strong value for real money players.

How does the free spins bonus work in Zombies slots?

Free spins in Zombies are triggered by landing three Scatter symbols on the second, third and fourth reels simultaneously, always awarding exactly 5 free spins. After each free spin, the multiplier increases, reaching up to x10 by the fifth spin. Between spins, you are taken to the mall to shoot incoming zombies for additional cash prizes, making each free spin a multi-stage event.

What is the stacked Wilds feature in Zombies slots?

The stacked Wilds in Zombies appear during the base game only and can be nudged up and down to fill entire reels with Wild symbols. This mechanic allows the stacked wilds to be manoeuvred into the most advantageous positions on the reels. Stacked Wilds do not appear during the free spins bonus round, keeping the two features distinctly separate and avoiding excessive win stacking.

How does the random Wild feature work in Zombies?

The random Wild feature in Zombies triggers spontaneously during the base game and places up to six Wild symbols in random positions across the playing field. Like the stacked Wilds, this feature does not occur during the free spins bonus. The two base game Wild features are designed to provide excitement and win boosts during regular play while the free spins handle the game's biggest payouts.

Is Zombies slots a high volatility game?

No, Zombies is rated as medium volatility by NetEnt. This means wins occur with reasonable regularity in the base game, with the stacked Wilds and random Wild features providing boosts during regular play. The free spins bonus, with its building x10 multiplier, is where the game's largest wins are concentrated. The medium volatility profile makes Zombies accessible to a wide range of players.
