Zombie Hoard Slot Machine Review, RTP% & Bonuses By Microgaming

There are several games that explore the world of the living dead, and Zombie Hoard from Microgaming is one of the ones we find interesting. The game lets you collect brains for significant payouts. Do you think you are up for it? Read up this quick review to know more before jumping in to start spinning.

Introduction

You don’t need to be told again that this is a zombie-themed slot. It is evident in the title, and we have clearly hinted that in the introductory part of this review. You can also call this a horror-themed slot if you want to generalize a little bit. As much as we would like to say that this is an original creation, it looks very much like it was inspired by the popular hit TV show, The Living Dead. The graphics of the game are just decent, nothing spectacular. The screen animations are really good, just like the sound effects that make the actions on the reels livelier.

Features

Zombie Hoard is played on a standard 5×3 reel grid. There are also 9 paylines where players can place their wagers and track matching symbols for wins. Staking in this game is pretty straightforward. You can adjust the coin value to determine the size of the wager to place on each payline. Overall, you can bet a maximum of 45.00 credits per spin.

Symbols

Ideally, it will take three matching symbols on an active payline to grant you a win in this game. The symbols in question include playing card symbols like 10, J, Q, K, and A. These ones are the commonest ones that grant modest payouts. To enjoy bigger payouts, you need to match the zombie characters on the reels. These ones include the maid, the mailman, and the nurse. The zombie nurse and the ghoulish chef are the top-paying symbols, offering as much as 400x and 500x, respectively.

Zombie Hoard has a wild symbol, which is probably the most important symbol in the game.

It has the power to substitute all the symbols in the game, except the scatters, to create winning combinations. The wild is also a top-paying symbol when it forms its own winning combination. Three, four, or five wild icons will award 60x, 400x, or 1200x, your line bet.

During the base game in Zombie Hoard, you will notice small brain icons on some symbols. As they appear, they will fill a free spins meter above the reels. You will need 30 or more brains to trigger free spins. You can win as much as 34 free spins this way. You will activate the bonus round when you hit three or more scatter symbols on the reels. The free spins will be played on a separate set of reels, and a 2x multiplier will be applied to all. Again, all zombie hoards wilds will be super-stacked during free spins. This will give you even bigger payouts.

Summary

Zombie Hoard is a wonderful game as far as gameplay is concerned. The game is also well-designed. This is a great option for those who play pokies, and will also appeal to real money players since the rewards can be significant.
