The Zombies Amaya (Chartwell)

The Zombies is a very nice video slot game from Amaya Gaming especially for this period around Halloween. I was surprised when I opened the slot and saw all those cheerful symbols on the reels. These zombies are definitely not like those you can see on the Walking Dead TV series.

The Zombies is a 5 reels and 50 pay lines video slot game. This game is powered with only one feature and that is the free spins round. I must say, it took me quite a while until I managed to activate the free spins. The key to the free spins round is the scatter symbol, in this case the dance party symbol. I got 3 dance party scatter symbols and I got 10 free spins. It is also possible to get more free spins during this session. For every 3 scatters during the free spins you get 2 more free spins. I did not get any additional free spins and I won only 10 euros at the end. This was not what I expected from this feature I have to say.

This game has a bit an unusual feature where you can choose which way you want to play. Actually you can choose whether you want the wins to be from left to right, which is called the Power Game and from right to left, which is also called Easy Game.

The easy game gives more regular wins, but smaller ones and the Power game gives less but higher wins. I have played them both and I realized that it is easier to activate the free spins feature with the easy mode.

The Zombies is a very cheerful game with the family dancing besides the reels during the free spins feature and there are some gold coins every time you land a big win. I would definitely recommend this slot to anyone.

The Zombies is a video slot game that comes from the software company Amaya. Amaya (Chartwell) is for a long time in the online industry and offers some really high-designed games. One of those games is this too for sure. Otherwise, The Zombies is one of the so-called 3D games and has 50 pay-lines and 5 reels. This game is really fun because it offers some options that you do not have in the other slot games.

Here you have the left spin button and the right spin button i.e. you have a Power spin and Easy spin. What's this all about?

If you choose let’s say Easy spin then you have a high chances to come to some wins but with less chances for big wins. In the second option, if you select Power spins then you have less chances to come to some wins but wins that you will reach are greater.
This is very interesting and you feel that you have great possibilities for tactics. From the features the game offers two free spins bonuses: Zombie Dance Party and Zombie bonus.

The minimum bet with which you can play here is 0.5 EUR per spin. Ok, I have chosen the minimum bet and Power spin. After I lost 5 euros I came to the Zombie Dance Party bonus and 10 free spins. Every time during the free spins when you get 3 Zombie Dance Party symbols, you get two extra free spins.

I was surprised how often this happens. In fact, my initial 10 free spins grew to 42 free spins. The total wins from these free spins was around 44 euros. After these wins I've moved on Easy Spins. After just a few spins I received another Zombie Dance Party free spin bonus.

This time, with the initial 10 I finished with 20 free spins and with total wins of only 3.3 euros. I must admit that I enjoyed playing this great game, and of course The Zombies has my recommendation.

It is undeniable that "The Zombies" is an extremely attractive slot both for its design and innovative features incorporated on it. As its name suggests, the plot of this game revolves around the daily life of a family of zombies comprised of mother, father, daughter and son, happy and proud reflect the typical family in The Zombie Nation, always smiling but apparently, judging by what I have seen throughout the game, they need to have always some homemade weapons at their disposal as a preventive measure against possible attacks other zombies may do.

This slot has good pictures, good animation, and quite a nice electronic music as background, its format is 4 x 5 reels, with 50 paylines and you can choose from several bet levels choosing between 1 and 5 coins (expressed as follows: 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250) and choosing the value of coins between $ 0.01 and $ 1.

One of the most original features on this game is called "Pick a Spin" and consists in the possibility to choose one of two ways when spinning the reels, these modes are "power game" and "easy game", in the first there is less likelihood of success but more chance of getting bigger profits, while the second provides more hits but generally smaller, and each mode manages its own set of symbols.

Remainder special features are:
- Zombie Dance Party: a round of 10 free spins is triggered with the appearance of 3 or more scatters with the image of dancing zombie family. The feature can be re-triggered more easily because more scatters are drawn during the free games, and every time you do it, two turns are added to your round. There are also additional bonuses involved on parents / zombie bad combinations, better explained on information section of game.
- Zombie Game Bonus: this round is triggered by parents / bad zombie symbols combination and involves throwing the bad zombies one of these four objects: rubber duck, boot, football and claxon. Each object grants a bonus of different value and have 3 attempts to strike bad zombies and each time you fail delete your accumulated bonuses, if you fail the latest shot, you get a bonus 9x as a consolation prize to be added to bonus resulting from the combination parents / bad zombie, which varies depending on the number of symbols matched and then multiplied by your bet. This feature has the best potential for big winnings.
As you can see, features of this game are quite complex and I just described them in a general way, and I consider it important to read and understand them before you start playing, because when I had my chance, I hit my first two shots and I missed the third one, for which I chose the rubber duck, and as expected I had to resign myself to get a consolation 9x prize.

Overall the game is very nice but you need to understand it, because otherwise you could become discouraged by low rates stipulated on paytable.
