Terminator 2 Slot

I have to say I was really quite disappointed with this game. I love the movie, so I was eager to see what Microgaming had done with the license – I had hoped they wouldn’t make yet another 243 ways game, but of course they did – I can’t remember the last time Microgaming came out with a decent nine liner!

I got a few free spins from some of the casinos I play at regularly, and I instantly noticed that the payouts seemed to be VERY poor. I hit several five of a kinds of the playing card symbols very quickly, but they just seemed to pay next to nothing. I guessed all the big action must be tied up in the feature, as it so often is with this type of game, but I didn’t manage to trigger one with any of my free spins.

On my next deposit, I decided I would give the game a bit more of a try, and found that I hit the feature quite quickly – I landed just one scatter, but the “T-800 Vision” feature kicked in and revealed free spins underneath the scatter symbol. This is a very cool feature that can appear after any losing spin, I’m not sure exactly how much you can win from this, but I’d guess a couple of hundred times your stake would be possible, for sure.

When the feature begins, the play area expands so there are 1024 ways to win rather than 243. This seems like a very cool idea, but I realized that even with the transform symbols on the reels, its really not possible to win on a large number of ways at once in this game. There are no stacked or expanding wilds and I really think something went wrong during the design process. I have never seen a win of more than 100x bet in this game even in the feature! Low variance and 243 ways just do not go together well in my opinion, and as for this legendary “hot mode” I keep hearing about… pah, what a silly idea!! The RTP should DEFINITELY have been used during the main game and regular feature instead, because as it stands, this is a bankroll guzzler of the highest order and I won’t ever be touching it again!!

Terminator2, like most of these high-profile Microgaming releases in recent years, was promoted super heavily prior to its release. If you are a fan of on-line slot games, its difficult not to get sucked in by all this publicity and I couldn't wait to try out this game after watching the promotional video shown by Microgaming.


First up, the theme - The Terminator2 movie has been incorporated into every aspect of the game, far from just dropping a few familiar characters on the reels and using the movie logo as some other developers would do, Microgaming have created clever features such as the T-800 vision, allowing you to find additional 'hidden' prizes using 'X-Ray' style vision, and the T-1000 transform symbol, which will morph into any other character to provide the best possible winning combination. As a big fan of the film, it's really very satisfying!


More importantly for me, the game has significant differences to the rest of the MIcrogaming 243-ways slot games that give Terminator2 its own identity, and a reason to choose to play this over games like Thunderstruck2, Playboy, and The Finer Reels of Life - games that feel, to some extent, pretty much like clones of each other in most ways.


It's a much lower variance game - there are fewer symbols on the base reels, and all of them have lower payouts than you might expect, even for a 243-ways game. I initially expected then, that a large percentage of the games tRTP must be tied up in the feature mode - yet this triggers much more often than other MG games, perhaps every 100 spins as opposed to every 150,. and it can also be triggered with just a single scatter in the "T-800 Vision" feature too.


After several hundred spins, I had gained a modest profit, but had yet to see a win over 120 x my bet, even in the free spins feature. Speaking of the feature, you receive just 10 free spins, but the reels expand so that there are now 1024 pay-ways rather than 243. Unfortunately because there are no stacked wilds, you only have the T-1000 transform symbols allowing you to win on many of the 1024 pay-ways simultaneously. The end result is that on most spins the 1024 ways are largely wasted, and it is difficult to achieve over 200 x your bet.

So, here's the kicker- the game has a "hot mode", which is not mentioned anywhere within the slot itself, only in the games attached help file, which I expect many players will never even read. The hot mode is triggered randomly, and very occasionally, when entering the free spins feature. If you have been lucky enough to trigger it, the background will have an orange tinge to it, but you'll likely know straightaway when you start winning as the free spins immediately feature a much enhanced reel set with many more Arnie and T-1000 transform symbols, enabling wins up to 1000 x bet and beyond.


Whilst anybody who scores this feature is obviously going to love it, for the fantastic wins it offers - it is so hard to trigger that I did not see it in over 100 features - its kind of like hitting a wildline on NetEnts Dead or Alive, some people will get it twice in a week somehow, whereas others might NEVER see it... Personally, I would have much preferred the additional RTP to have been oncorporated into the main feature!

Terminator 2, as a woman which I am it is hard to say that I was impressed with this game. I claimed a promotion for 30 free spins in some Microgaming casino and I really believed that I would have a cashout of at least 10 euros from the 30 spins but at the end I ended up with a poor 2 euros on my balance. I didn’t even have a chance to enjoy them and I spent only 4 spins on some game with a 0.50 bet. A real shame.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was never my favorite actor nor his pumped up muscles could never impress me as a woman. 3D, really? Well it doesn’t look so realistic to me except for the actors symbols which are 3D worthy and that’s it. I had a good feeling before I started to play and I got nothing. I saw that it has been played only about 500 times, which isn't some big number and that tells me that the game isn't very popular and the creators should ask themselves if they need to add some more details in the game. Asta la Vista baby, you can skip the intro and move on to the game. T/800 John Connor, Vision random bonus symbol with it’s mystery prizes.

The scatter symbol looks really cool, a blue planet in orbit somewhere. 3, 4 or 5 triggers 10 free spins which is a very poor number for me. The T100 symbol can transform during free spins into the highest paying symbol but how to reach the free spins is another story. Maybe we should be amazed by the 243 ways to pay. Oh lord I wasn’t paid at all from the 30 free spins, who knows maybe it was just this one time but I can see that players avoid this game and the name points out to the possibilities that are impossible to reach. The T2 flaming symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the bonus/free spins bonus.

So what does this game has to offer me? Really nothing. A complete disappointment. I would never spend my money to play this slot.

Microgaming is the biggest software provider for online casinos for a very good reason. One those reasons is Microgaming’s ability to seal a licence deal with the world’s biggest film studios. These deals make us gamblers able to enjoy branded slots based on movies, TV shows and comics, such as The Dark Knight, Battlestar Galactica, Playboy, Hitman, Tomb Raider and many others.

Terminator II is another branded slot that has been released recently thanks to the deal Microgaming has with StudioCanal. Everyone who’s familiar with the movie scene, knows what kind of classic Terminator II was. As mentioned in another review, I’m not even a fan of sci-fi but I do make some exceptions for classics like this one starring the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I was very delighted when I heard the slot was being released. The format is like many other branded games: 243-ways-to-win with 3 rows and 5 reels. The minimum bet size is only €0.30 and therefore feasible for even the low rollers. The slot consists of various symbols made of the movie characters like The Terminator, Sarah Connor, John Connor and of course the evil T-1000.

I think Microgaming has a done a great job in transforming the movie into a successful slot. I’ve played this game at 32Red, Mr Green and Redbet during a couple of gaming sessions. It also contains wilds and scatters. You need at least 3 scatters to trigger 10 free spins.

Not much you would think? Well during free spins it’s one hell of a party, because the layout will change from 243-ways-to-win to 1024-ways-to-win with a set-up of 5 x 4 reels. I had a couple of good hits during free spins of 200 x bet size.

I think it’s hard to not win anything decent during free spins. In addition the t-1000 symbol, if it appears, will automatically turn into the highest paying symbol. Overall a great playing experience. It got some huge potential for big hits.

Besides that there is also a random t-800 feature which can appear during base game which turns various symbols into money.

I find it hard to have decent wins during base game. I don’t think I ever exceeded 20-30x my bet.

Terminator 2 the movie by my favorite Hollywood super star Arnold Schwarzenegger, so how could I miss the Terminator 2 slot game. For a slot lover like me, having a slot inspired by my favorite movie and based on Microgaming software (the most slots I have played on Microgaming software) was just like icing on the cake.

The slot has 243 play lines and is a 5 reel game. But one thing I found out different from usual Microgaming software based slots like Avalon 2, Thunderstruck 2 is that you have 1024 chances of win rather than 243 in the free spin round. Isn’t that amazing!

I first played this slot on 32red casino. The slot has great graphics and characters used in game are beautifully designed. As usual I started playing the slot game with minimum bet possible that is $0.30. I don’t what is actually the frequency of free spins bonus game but I was able to trigger within five minutes of my play. I could hit the three scatters and I could win 10 free spins. This boosted my account balance so now I was looking for a big win. The slot has an interesting bonus round that is T800 vision bonus which scans the symbols and rewards you. The highest rewards are given T1000 bonus round. The special feature about this bonus round is that you need only one scatter to activate the free spin round. The slot has good vision bonus round but I found that they don’t pay you much.
Although I was not able to trigger the T1000 vision round but the T800 bonus round paid me 30 x of my bet.

I liked the Microgaming slot, Terminator 2 but just a little disappointed in returns. It is a mediocre game in terms of returns although graphics and sound is good enough.

I would rate 8.5/10.

This is a Microgaming slot, 5 reel and 243 ways to win, with a minimum bet of 0.30 euro!
I played this slot only one time since it was launched and that is because I didn’t had time for this!

This isn’t an usual 243 ways to win slot, Microgaming changed a few things to be different than the other 243 ways to win slots like Thunderstruck II, Immortal Romance or The Finer Reels of Life! In the free spins feature you have more chances to win because there are 1024 ways to win instead of 243!

With some money in my sportingbet account, I decided to try this new slot to see if it worth to be played for a chance to win some big money or at least for wagering a bonus!

I played on the minimum bet of 0.30 euro, I won the free spins after about 20 minutes of playing but I didn’t won something big, just 7 euro! Also I didn’t managed to see how the T-800 Vision feature is because I played about 40 minutes and I lost 20 euro on this slot game!
Although I wasn’t impressed by the payout rate I want to say that the graphics are very very good, I like very much how the characters are designed!
I will try to rate this slot from my own experience even if it wasn’t a good one and I didn’t played many times this slot! For the nice graphics and interesting movie theme I think it really deserves a 10!
The payout rate disappointed me and also the frequency of the free spins and T-800 Vision feature isn’t very good, I mean you will catch very hard the free spins or the special feature! Because of this I will give only an 8!

Overall it is a good game when we talk about theme, graphics and features but when its about the payout rate I would say that it is a normal slot game, nothing special!

Terminator 2, oh this brings back memories!! What I thought of when thinking about this movie, now turned into a video slot is Sarah Connor.....who avoided getting killed in the 1st Terminator, now admitted to a mental hospital in the future which will get her face licked by a creepy fellow! I also knew the scene where the Terminator shoots his gun after the T-1000 froze over with Liquid Nitrogen!

When talking about Terminator 2, the video slot........it's very accurate in how Microgaming put everything in, from the Character symbols to the win videos on identical combinations. For the very first time playing this I'd expected much more because it gave me small wins on my $0.60 bets. $0.10, $0.24, $0.40 and wins around $1 were some examples! I won't recommend betting $0.90 or higher since it pays low but if chasing the free spins, I will win better as in slightly above average for doubled my bets!

On my first try for free spins I had 3 scattered electrical fields that granted me 10 Free spins. The once known 3x5 reels now became 4x5 while the well-known epic Terminator music and the extra row of reels being built onto the slot for 1024 ways! From 243 ways to 1024 ways that captured almost every time 5 of a kind suits! It's great to win 5 of a kind every time and there are more ways to hit more than one of these especially when the T-1000 symbols shift themselves into high paying characters and the T2 logo wilds roaming around in free spins!! I got $18.64 but on the second trigger for Terminator 2 I was very lucky! I had the T-Vision where all symbols are scanned for bonus wins......the T-1000 being the highest as the enemy and by landing a single scatter when this happens....it'll trigger the 10 Free spins right away! I put up screens for my first win and the free spins being captured in the T-800 vision! I had $8.60 wins from characters being scanned plus 10 Free spins putting my $8.60 in $23.40!

My points go more for the accuracy and the way Microgaming rekindled my interest in bringing out such a worthy movie from the past now in video slot fineness!

It would've been perfect if they included the Terminator shooting the frozen T-1000 shattering into pieces!!! That was an epic moment!!! The 10 Free spins are very short without a good multiplier because of the big chance for hitting small 5 of a kind combinations (Suits) and changing T-1000 symbols replicating other symbols! I can't brag about that but what about the word "retrigger"? It doesn't seem to happen which did disappointed me a lot!

Terminator 2 could've been more wholesome had they put in other characters too like that doctor in the Mental Hospital...Silberman or John's friend, or that guy that got a winning can while the T-1000 stuck up behind him instead of these questionable yet boring-like suit symbols that don't have anything to do with Terminator 2! Lol did Microgaming get lazy half way?

It was only a few months ago when I was thinking “when can I see a real Terminator 3D game?” Then suddenly, the game came, but the game was so lame, to me at least. It wasn’t in 3D and it was just like every other game, not really befitting the title of ‘Terminator’. The movie was so much more interesting to me…but thankfully, Arnold ‘whatshisname’ and the various movie clips saved part of my day – they were still fun to watch. 0 star.

Looking at the paytable, my first impression was one of disappointment. The payouts are so low, even the 5-of-a-kinds could not bring in the excitement I was looking for. In real play, 5-of-a-kinds came quite a number of times, and each time I would go “whaaaat?...so little?!” I am so used to seeing good payouts for 5-of-a-kinds, but the ones from Terminator 2 just drop the bomb on me! Sigh! 2 stars down.

Then came the 3 scatters, awarding the free spins. I watched as the reels spun, round after round, and at the end of the free spins, it paid out only 10x to 30x my total bet. Nothing more, only less. In no time at all I became bored…real bored! When I finally got the T-800 special feature game, I was expecting something nice and worthwhile. Naaah! No interaction from me was needed, so I just watched the target sight go from 1 icon to the next, awarding miserable amounts of cash prizes. Only once did the T-1000 icon paid me a good payout at 30x my bet. Most other times, pathetic! 1 star down.

On another T-800 feature game, 1 scatter was in sight, awarding the 10 free spins with 1024 ways to win feature game, but what did it pay me? Only 40x my total bet! Geees! On yet another free game later on, also with 1 scatter in sight, the 10 free spins paid me a miserly amount just over 20x my bet! “WTF…” I was saying to myself. So how in h-hell am I going to get any super big payouts from this game? The way I see it…there’s just no way! 1 star down.

Expanding Wilds do not exist for the game Terminator 2, so there’s no possibility of getting 3, 4 or even 5 reels of expanding wilds, which could definitely pay out a huge massive win. Even getting 5 wilds would only pay 50x your total bet, while 5 scatters would only pay 100x your total bet, and that’s the highest payout for any symbol you can get. Sorry Terminator 2…your game does not meet my expectations at all, far from it. Not only am I disappointed with the game, I was already halfway falling asleep playing it for just 1.5 hours! 1 star down.

Talk about terminator and the first thing that comes to your mind is Arnold , John Connor and other characters in the ever popular movie series " Terminator". I am personally big fan of terminator series and when i saw terminator 2 slot on comeon casino i couldn't resist myself playing on this slot. When i saw quickfire on loading i understood this game is powered by microgaming and to welcome me was a 243 ways to win slot with 5 reels.

One thing i like about microgaming slots is that they have very good returns though i will not generalize it but yeah from the slots i have played, microgaming has very good returns and same goes for this slot. I was playing on a total bet of $0.3 and was able to strike the free spin feature twice in just 25 odd spins. Now striking free spins is one thing and winning good amount from them is another but may be that was my lucky day because from the first 10 free spins i got $8.61 and from the other 10 free spins i got i whooping $18.55 by getting 5 of a kind on reels three times. This is only possible because in free spin round there are 1024 ways to win and there is an extra wild in form of T1000 in the free spins round that results in frequent 5 of a kind combinations giving you large returns.

Free spins gets activated by getting more then 3 scatter symbols as is the general case giving you 10 free spins. Luckily i had the screenshots so i have uploaded them. Apart from free spins round there is another bonus round that is the T800 vision round which gets activated randomly and you see the world from the eye of T800 and which scans symbols and pays you rewards highest being for T1000. Now, the most interesting thing about this feature is that you need only one scatter symbol to activate free spin round that means cherry on the cake. But this T800 vision round activates seldom and has only decent pay outs until you strike the free spin round too. Thus , Terminator 2 is one of the best slots by microgaming either returns or graphics and i would rate it an 9 on 10.

Terminator 2 is a newest microgaming game, and also this is really big release, and i think a lot of people waiting this game. First time i played this game at 32red casino, because they award me with 10 free spins on this game, but this was not lucky, as i am lost my winnings from this free spins (it was something like 2$) very quickly, and without really good chances to win.

Of course i tried this game few more times, and have some experience which i would like to share. Next casino which i choose to play this game was betat, and i start playing with 50$ deposit at 0.30 bets. I watch two features on this game, and both of this features are quite interesting, because first one, T-800 vision, award random wins for characters symbols, and my best hit during this feature is something like 40 x total bet, but it can be higher of course, so this feature definitely has some potential. Also in this feature if even 1 scatter appears, it trigger free spins. Second feature is free spins, and there T-100 symbol will transform to other character, to award highest possible win. My best hit on free spins is only 70 x total bet, but this one also has potential, as this game has 1024 lines and if good symbols with T-1000 lands, i think in total feature can pay something more than 1000 x total bet.

But generally i did not like this game, it has medium-high variance, and base game is too boring in my opinion, it is not possible to get any good win at least like x 30 total bet without feature, and therefore i found myself just spinning and waiting any other feature. Payouts also not great, and this make me sad. Game has potential, and game is interesting, but only when you had features, without features it is not fun and no entertainment here. 7 stars.
