Zombie Hoard

There’s a hoard of flesh hungry zombies lurking about, and the only thing that can protect you is reel wins to keep the walking dead at bay. Thankfully Slingshot Studios has given us Zombie Hoard slot, a title packed with various bonus features and wild functionality to ward off any zombie who so much as passes a greedy look in your direction. Slingshot Studios is one of the lesser known iGaming studios out there, so what have they managed to produce in order to enhance their reputation?

So far we may have painted Zombie Hoard as a complete horror show, however the theme is actually quite light and playful, with a bunch of playfully animated zombies serving as the characters to set the scene. Of course none of them are particularly attractive but play more of a comedic role. The background to the reels is the silhouette of a city obviously ravaged by these ‘horrific monsters’, and although the graphics aren’t quite up there with the best we’ve seen they definitely do their job. The pay table consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and a very modest 9 paylines.

Zombie Hoard is a brand new release, however the base features aren’t quite what you’d expect from cutting edge games in 2019. The return to player ratio comes in at a mediocre 95.29%, which is a little low compared to what we’ve become accustomed to seeing. But, in saying this, there is a max jackpot of 107,460 coins, which off a maximum wagering amount of £45.00 per spin is very respectable. Some games are asking for over £100.00 per spin for potential jackpots of the same size. One thing that does live up to 2019 standards in Zombie Hoard is the brilliant mobile compatibility. Playing on your device will see you experience great graphics and very little lag.

Feature Symbols

Those zombie characters are there to serve as the higher value symbols. In order from lowest value to highest there’s the blue skinned cleaning lady, the vile looking police officer, the perplexed nurse and the highest paying regular symbol, the repulsive chef. This gruesome cook is worth 550 coins if 5 of a kind hit the reels on the same spin. To accompany these flesh eaters there are also your standard playing card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A. The A can give you 88 coins if 5 land on the paylines.

Now, please be on the lookout for some bonus symbols – they can really be lifesavers. Not in the literal sense, of course. There is a wild symbol, represented by the game’s logo, that will substitute all regular symbols to create a winning payline. It’s also the highest paying symbol with 1320 coins for 5 of a kind. The only symbol the wild won’t sub is the scatter, which is a human brain with Zombie written beneath it. This symbol could mean bonus time.

Bonuses and Jackpots

The first thing to note is that wilds fall as stacked wilds on reels 3 and 4 in the base game, however all wilds are stacked when they fall during the free spins.

Speaking of free spins, all lower value symbols can fall with a free spins token randomly attached, and these tokens will accumulate for when you trigger the free spins. There are 2 ways to go about activating the free spins. The first is the traditional way of landing 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The second is to accumulate 30 free spins tokens, which will then trigger the free spins round.

There is an extra surprise that Slingshot Gaming have thrown into the free spins mix, and one that is quite delectable. All wins during the free spins are multiplied by 2x. Get the maximum of 30 free spins and this feature starts becoming deliciously profitable.

Play Zombie Hoard Slot at PartyCasino

It must be said that Zombie Hoard is a fairly basic game, and not one that has tried to wow the online slots games fraternity. However, this actually works in its favor as both new and seasoned players will be impressed by the multiple ways one can trigger free spins, as well as the multiplier during the free spins. Wild symbols are often overlooked as standard, but one mustn’t forget that wilds will fall stacked during the free spins, and during the base game on reels 3 and 4. There are plenty of ways to grab a gory payday in Zombie Hoard, just so long as you don’t find yourself being a zombie morsel.
