Granny Disco Frenzy

Granny Disco Frenzy Review

Granny Disco Frenzy is an upcoming slot game by the Canadian game developer PearFiction. The studio was established in 2014 and currently creates iGaming content exclusively for Games Global as part of the giant's Studio Model program. The game in focus today is a sequel to the studio's Link'N'Win series!

Moreover, according to a PearFiction post on the 23rd of September, Granny Disco Frenzy slot is the very first “exclusive bespoke game” for the provider crafted for William Hill. The slot with full name William Hill Granny Disco Frenzy LockNWin was exclusively released in the operator's casino section on that date. The information was confirmed by a post in the News section on PerFiction's website, too.

Well, exclusive or not, Granny Disco Frenzy game definitely deserves our attention for many reasons, including the expanding grid and Multiway mechanics. But first, the story! Granny obviously found herself surprisingly in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. But instead of panicking, she grabs the pan and goes berserk!

Then again, Granny, like any Granny, is nice and sweet, so instead of killing those brain-seeking zombie monsters, she took them to the dance floor for a real disco mashup. The Disco theme, colorful animations, and exquisite graphics rank the game next to other cute PerFiction slots, like 3 Cherry Frenzy and Chicken Night Fever.

The soundtrack is another highlight, and all these details mastered to perfection display clearly why PearFiction is among the top Games Global studios! The base grid sits in the middle of the screen with 5 reels and 3 rows. The Multiway engine generates 243 ways to win in this configuration.

A TopGraderZ horizontal reel is also part of the game, and I'll explain it later in this review. For now, there are 5 fixed jackpots on the left - Mega, Major, Minor, Mini, and Micro, which is a feature so typical for all Games Global partners nowadays, that I would be surprised if these rewards were missing.

All control tools and tabs are placed on the right, including the Bet modifier, Max Bet, Turbo Mode, and Autoplay. In the upper right corner, Granny has saved insurance in the form of a Molotov cocktail (Bonus Buy) if those zombies try a mass attack. In any case, Granny Disco Frenzy looks like a fun and fast-paced slot!

Granny Disco Frenzy Slot - Reels Screen

Granny Disco Frenzy comes with many features and modifiers, but first, let's see the regular payouts. Symbols pay for 3 to 5 of a kind on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost one and continuing to the right. Purple Diamond pays from 1.40x to 5x, Big Seven - 1.20x to 4x, Wad of Cash - 1x to 3x, Poker Chips - 1x to 2.40x, and Horseshoe pays 1x to 2x the bet.

The low-paying figures are A, K, Q, J, and 10, and each one delivers different small rewards between 0.20x and 1x the stake. The wild symbol may land anywhere on the grid, and it substitutes for all these symbols to increase the chance of landing winning combinations. Bets are capped in the range from €0.20 to €50 per spin.

The Granny Disco Frenzy RTP rate is 96%, while the Hit Frequency is reported to be 27.43%. Both feel fine combined with the high levels of volatility, but seasoned players know that they must wager carefully. The max win here isn't surprising - 5,000x the bet or up to €250,000.

Granny Disco Frenzy Features

Once again, PearFiction is about to bring us an action-packed online slot with a bonus round playable with 1, 2, or 3 Link'N'Win features. Therefore, starting with the Granny Disco Frenzy demo seems the wisest option. Unlike other titles, a Bonus Buy is available here, which will make the triggering moment a step closer for those willing to skip waiting!

TopGraderZ Mechanics

TopGraderZ is not new, but it turned out to be quite an effective way to expand slot boards. The extra reel is placed on top of the base grid and offers 3 types of exposure - Split Symbols, Bonus Symbols, and Blanks. Bonus symbols are collected in the Star pots beneath each reel, and if you collect all 5, Link'N'Win starts with all features active.

Split symbols can add 1, 2, or 3 extra rows to the respective reel and increase the grid size from 5x3 to 5x6. That, of course, affects the ways to win, which can be anywhere between 243 and 7,776. The TopGraderZ mechanic is also active during the Link'N'Win bonus minigame.

Collect Feature & Multiplier

During the base game, Cash Collect will add extra rewards to your line wins. Cash symbols land in the form of Brains so desired by our disco zombies. Each one has a value from 0.20x to 100x the bet. Granny is the Collect symbol, and she may land on reel 5 only to collect all Cash values in view.

The Red Pot scatters increase the Multiplier upon collection in the main game. It can grow up to 10x and is applied to all wins during the Multiply Lock'N'Win feature. However, the Multiplier also affects the Cash values collected by Granny in the base game. Every time it has been used, it'll reset back to 1x.

Lock’N’Win Bonus & Features

Three amusingly drawn zombies stand on top of the grid and collect tokens according to the color of their wigs and star-shaped glasses. Red, yellow, and pink pot symbols contribute to the Multiply, Jackpot, and Supreme features in Lock’N’Win. Upon each token collection, the bonus may trigger, and the active features will be determined by the pot symbols collected at the triggering spin.

Lock'N'Win starts with 3 respins, and the goal is to find more Cash symbols on the grid (as usual). As I mentioned before, the TopGraderZ is still active, and the max expanded reels will remain that size until the end of the bonus. Each new Cash symbol resets the counter back to 3. Here is what to expect from all Link’N’Win features:

• Multiply Link'N'Win - the accumulated Multiplier from the base game will multiply the total win from the feature.
• Jackpot Link'N'Win - collect colored tokens to win each of the respective jackpots. You'll have to fill out the empty spaces which are from 2 to 6 to get the prize. Jackpots are not affected by the special features of the other Link'N'Win features.
• Supreme Link’N’Win - Orange Cash symbols collect all Green Cash values. Pink Cash symbols collect all Green and Orange Cash symbols in view.

Features can combine, and the luckiest players will have all the extras during their Hold & Win bonus experience. All jackpots can be won multiple times, but Mega can be awarded only once. Keep in mind that the total win can exceed 5,000x, but not the cash cap of €250,000! Here are all Granny Disco Frenzy jackpots:

• Mega Jackpot - 5,000x the bet
• Major Jackpot - 500x the bet
• Minor Jackpot - 100x the bet
• Mini Jackpot - 20x the bet
• Micro Jackpot - 10x the bet

Pros And Cons Of Granny Disco Frenzy Slot

Our Verdict

Granny Disco Frenzy PearFiction is an amazingly entertaining game with a very good payout potential and plenty of features to enjoy. The flying pans are hit in the bullseye, just like all the other creatively designed animations. But fans of PerFiction are well aware of the provider's skill set and were most probably expecting all that.

I personally enjoyed the TopGraderZ mechanic as it is always the game-changer for me. On the flip side, there is nothing new that couldn't be found in other PearFiction slots, like, let's say 3 Stellar Bonanza and Cerberus Gold. Indeed, some of the modifiers have evolved from older Link'N'Win versions, but the essence remains the same.

So, the real question is not if Granny Disco Frenzy is good, but whether you are a fan of such feature-packed, scatter-collect games. If the answer is Yes, then this upcoming release in December will bring the fun and thrill you love to bathe in. Otherwise, simply look into the libraries of other top providers, as we have them all at SlotCatalog!
