Granny vs Zombies: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Granny vs Zombies Review

Hell hath no fury like a pissed off grandmother whose peaceful TV night in her favorite chair gets disturbed by a zombie invasion. Games Global partner, PearFiction, has clearly poured their heart and soul into this release, and Granny vs Zombies comes with cartoon-style animations that are as hilarious as they are grotesque. Body parts are flying when this lady gets going, and she basically takes on a whole army of undead all by her lonesome.

The Free Spins round is a big highlight, as you get to choose between 4 different weapons for the fearless old lady. Attacking the zombies is how the bonus round multiplier is increased, and you can win jackpots up to 5,000x your stake in 2 different jackpot games as well. In addition, there is the LockNWin feature, which comes with 3 unique modifier coins. The overall max win is 5,000x, and Granny vs Zombies is a highly entertaining and capable release in the horror/comedy genre.

Granny vs Zombies Slot Features

The character premium symbols, consisting of zombies and Granny herself as the top-tier symbol, pay between 3 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. You win by landing 3 to 5 matching symbols across 20 paylines from the uttermost left to the right. The regular Wild symbols step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, but there are few special wilds to cover in this game as well.

If both the Granny Wild and the Zombie Wild symbols land at the same time, Granny will throw a Molotov Cocktail at the Zombie Wild. This sends 3 of its body parts flying to random positions, and these turn wild as well. You can land full-reel Walking Zombie Wilds on reels 3 to 5 as well, and they move one reel to the left per spin that follows until they walk off the grid.

The LockNWin Feature triggers from at least 6 LockNWin Coins in view, and you start with 3 respins. The triggering coins are sticky on the new grid where only new coins and/or blanks will land. New coins that appear become sticky as well, and this resets the respins tally to 3 again each time. You can land 4 different coin types, as follows:

• Regular Coin - lands with cash prize values between 1x and 12x your stake.
• Multiplier Coin - boosts all cash coins in view by up to x5.
• Key Coin - come with the same value range as regular coins, while also unlocking an extra row.
• Star Coin - triggers the Jackpot LockNWin feature at the end of the LockNWin round.

The feature ends when you either run out of respins, or when you fill the grid with coin symbols. If you manage to unlock all rows and fill them with coins, you win the 5,000x Mega Jackpot.

The Jackpot LockNWin game can be triggered both from the LockNWin bonus and from the bonus round, and landing 3 star coins on the same line awards the corresponding jackpot. The possible jackpots are the Micro, Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega prizes, and they pay 15x, 25x, 100x, 500x, or 5,000x your stake, respectively.

Granny vs Zombies Slot - Jackpot Wheel

There is a Jackpot Wheel Progress Bar above the grid, and all coins that appear contribute to filling this meter. A spin on the 3-level Jackpot Wheel is awarded when the meter is full, and you need to land the arrows to get to the next level wheel. The first level awards either the Micro Jackpot or arrows, while you can win the Mini or Major jackpot on the second wheel. The third Wheel guarantees you either the Major or the Mega jackpot.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers from 3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4, and you then get presented with a choice screen as follows:

• 10 free spins with a frying pan as Granny’s weapon (1 damage point).
• 8 free spins with a rolling pin as Granny’s weapon (2 damage points).
• 7 free spins with a butcher knife as Granny’s weapon (3 damage points).
• 6 free spins with a Molotov Cocktail as Granny’s weapon (4 damage points).

The weapon of choice serves as a wild symbol, and Granny on the left will use it to attack the zombies on the right when this wild appears. The win multiplier starts at x1, and it increases by the same amount of damage point Granny’s attack scored. Getting the multiplier to x5, x10, and x20 upgrades the feature to a higher level, and this gives you extra spins.

How many extra spins you get depends on which weapon you choose up front, and the frying pan, rolling pin, butcher knife, or Molotov Cocktail gives you 5, 4, 3, or 2 extra spins, respectively. If the Disco Zombie appears, and is killed (requires 5 damage points), you trigger the Jackpot LockNWin feature. It plays out after the spin that took out Disco Zombie.

The Buy Feature Menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. It comes with 4 bonus buy options as follows:

• Pay 31.45x your stake for the LockNWin feature.
• Pay 62.51x your stake for the Free Spins round.
• Pay 75x your stake for the Jackpot Wheel.
• Pay 149.99x your stake for the Jackpot LockNWin.

Review Summary

It’s refreshing to play a zombie slot that doesn’t try oh so hard to be scary, but instead explores the humoristic caricature side of the grotesque subject matter. PearFiction knows how to utilize the cartoonish visual style for maximum effect, and Granny vs Zombies is an over the top zombie splatting galore with tons of features to boot. Even the title alone made us smile up front, and you know you’re in for a good time as soon as the game loads.

This is a Granny you don’t wanna mess with, undead or otherwise, and she thrones on top of a pile of dead zombies when you land larger payouts. The animations are highly entertaining all the way, and there are more than enough features to keep you busy for a good while. There are plenty of ways to crack the 5,000x potential as well, and if you enjoy the zombie splatter genre you can hardly go wrong with Granny vs Zombies. The volatility is high though, which is something to keep in mind, and you will also be dealing with adjustable RTP ranges.
