One of the most popular zombie franchises in the world makes a return to the realm of online slots. This is excellent news for anyone that is a fan of the show or enjoyed the original Walking Dead slot, which was released in June of 2021. Walking Dead 2 contains fresh graphics and a handful of exciting bonus variations! It goes without saying that this slot has been fully licensed by AMC Networks, too.
Playtech are the providers of this slot and the previous version. However, they have also released a bunch of other stellar titles. These include the likes of Hot Crown Deluxe and Rulers of the World: Empire Treasures.
You can play this slot with as little as 0.05, all the way up to 500.00 per spin. These betting options make The Walking Dead 2 a suitable game for both punters and higher rollers alike. You can win a maximum of 2,192.6x your bet size with this slot.
As you can imagine, most of the symbols within The Walking Dead 2 are based on the TV show. However, there is also the usual 10, J, Q, K, and A that is seen in a majority of online slots. These are the lowest paying symbols in the game and pay up to 4x your stake when matching 5.
The premium symbols are based on the main characters within The Walking Dead. In order of payout, Daryl, Beth, Michonne, Negan, and Rick Grimes all make an appearance. Special symbols include a Walker hand, which acts as a wild, and a red van, which is the scatter icon needed to unlock the bonus.
As previously mentioned, The Walking Dead 2 has a variety of different bonuses, 5 in total. Upon landing three or more van scatter symbols, you will be presented with three different Walker heads. Behind the one you select will be one of the five bonus features.
The first bonus is called 'Walking Wild Free Spins', and whenever a win is achieved, a wild walker will fill an entire row. After every spin, this walker will move one reel to the left until, eventually, it leaves the screen. Additional winning combinations will trigger more walkers, with this round ending when there are no more zombies left in the play area.
Next is a multiplier-based bonus, where all wild symbols will appear with a multiplier of either 2x, 3x, or 5x. The split reel feature is also activated within this bonus mode, which randomly inserts another reel in spaces 1, 2 or 3, with the other reels being moved to the right. This added feature can see expanded walker wilds appearing in the play zone.
Super Stacked is the name of the third possible bonus. This one is relatively simple, with a random symbol being selected at the start of the round. Whenever this symbol appears on any reel, it is automatically converted into a wild.
You can also unlock a sticky wilds bonus, where all wilds will stay in place for the duration of free spins. However, while this feature is active, you cannot get wilds that fill entire reels. This bonus has strong potential, especially if you can fill most of the board with wilds early on.
Coin bonus is the final bonus mode on this list. It is based on a popular respin model that you may have played in the past on other slots. This one is slightly different though, as an expanded wild walker fills the middle reel.
There are copper, silver, gold, and multipliers that can land on the other reels. If coins on either side of the walker match (Reels 1 and 2 matching with 4 and 5), then a respin will occur with the winning symbols now locked in place. If a multiplier appears on the board, then it will be applied to the win. This continues until there are no more matches.
Additionally, you can land any of the jackpots listed at the top of the slot itself. If 3 of these drop into any reel, the corresponding jackpot amount will be added to your balance when the feature is complete.
The Walking Dead 2 is a good sequel to the original slot, with a variety of different bonuses that potentially be awarded. There are also more symbols in this slot when compared to the original, with extra characters being introduced!
