the terminator slot THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

The Terminator films eventually went on to become a hugely popular action franchise, but the original movie was undoubtedly inspired by the horror craze of the 1980s. That makes this slot comparable to machines such as Horror Hotel and Hacksaw’s Bloodthirst, although neither benefitted from such a high-profile license. I’m honestly quite surprised to find that it’s Inspired who has managed to score this one – things have all gone a bit wrong for The Terminator since the awful Dark Fate, but it’s still one of the most recognisable film licenses that any developer could effort hope to acquire. With that in mind, you would expect them to devote their best efforts to making an awesome release… so how has that gone?

The most valuable symbols on the paytable are the wild and Arnie, which share equal returns of 20x the total bet for a full payline of five of a kind. The Terminator endoskeleton is worth 10x the bet for all five symbols, followed by Sarah Connor at 5x and Kyle Reece at 4x. There are five more low-paying royal symbols, all of which share equal returns of 2x the total stake for a five of a kind combination. All symbols appear stacked on the reels, which should make it possible to score a full screen of any symbol under amazingly lucky conditions. Should that occur with the highest-paying wild or Arnie symbols, the player would receive 800x their total bet back in winnings.

The minimum/maximum available bets The Terminator offers are €0.10 and €100.00, respectively, and there’s no shortage of intermediate bets available for those who wish to play between the two extremes.

base game & modifiers

The playfield used in The Terminator has five columns of four rows each, which is a little larger than the traditional 5x3 layout used in many other video slots. Lots of online slots use layouts such as this nowadays, but the issue here is that there are still just 20 active paylines – it’s very likely that you will end up hitting lots of combinations that look like they should award a win yet do not. The stacked symbols help with this, but you’ll still need three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left to score a win.
