The Walking Dead Slot Theme, Stakes, Paylines & Symbols
Many of us wonder how we would survive if there were to be a zombie apocalypse, and AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead gave us a glimpse of what that life could be like, with the plot of the show following the fortunes of a group of survivors trying to make it from one day to the next. Inevitably the success of this TV Show would spill over into the world of online slots, and Playtech bring us the stunning title The Walking Dead slot game. Players will be sent into this post apocalyptic world as the game loads up, with memorable scenes and soundbites from the show featuring throughout the gameplay.
Our first stop off in the review is the paytable of the game, where the royal symbols 10, J, Q, K, and Ace, make up the lower value pays. The characters of the show make up the higher value symbols, which feature Negan, Michonne, Daryl, Carol, and Rick, with a 5 of a kind win paying, 2x, 2x, 2x, 2x, and 3x respectively. The Zombie Hand is the basic wild symbol in the slot, and will substitute for all other game symbols except the scatters. This will also award 3x for a 5 of a kind win.
Having tried out the free demo slot of The Walking Dead, you may want to join the remaining survivors for some real money play. Those that fancy their chances against the hoards of zombies can get into the action for just €0.10 a spin, with the maximum stake reaching €500. Some players may consider the return to player percentage a touch low on the game, but with an RTP of 95.73%, I still think this can be classed as both decent and fair.
Base Game & Modifiers
The fight for survival on The Walking Dead online slot is set over a 5×3 reel format, with players having 50 fixed paylines in place to create winning combinations. As is the standard with most online slots, wins are awarded when 3 or more matching symbols land from left to right on the reels. With regards to in-game features there are plenty to enjoy, with the action hitting players from all directions. Let’s take a look at the feast of bonuses that await your arrival.

The Walking Dead Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’ve seen a few videos of The Walking Dead Slot on the casino floors of Las Vegas, and wondered how long it would it would be until we saw an online slot version of this popular TV series. The game itself does in fact remind me a bit of a vegas style machine in general, where there tends to be a lot going on, but you never really seem to win much. Admittedly I did get a few decent hits on the Tower Feature, but nothing that could be really classed as sensational.
Overall I think this is going to be a slot that’s enjoyed by real die hard fans of the series, whilst the novelty may quickly wear off for general online players. As always though enjoy the demo slot of The Walking Dead in our review, and try to trigger as many of the features as possible. This way if you do opt to try it out for real, then you’ll know exactly what to expect from each bonus round.
