Terminator Genisys Slot Review
Adapt to the terminator’s life and help Sarah Connor and her son survive the continuous attacks against them. Will you succeed in protecting them from the cyborgs or will you end up as ash. Spin those reels and see if you can make some big wins before the Genisys countdown is over!
Inspired by the famous movie franchise, the slot is equipped with ominous visuals and music. Starting from the background, you see a destroyed town and burning ships. The game’s dashboard is decorated with a dark blue border and a black backdrop. The logo of the slot is found at the top of the screen while the controls are located at the bottom.
The slot operates as a classic slot as the reels stop one after the other with a few animations kicking in now and then. The visuals reminded us of Microgaming’s attempt at a slot of the same theme, Terminator 2.
Now let’s see how the game is played and what you can expect to see feature-wise.
How to Play Terminator Genisys
The game features 3 lines and 5 reels as well as 25 fixed paylines. Moving on the controls, from left to right you’ll find the info section, lines indicator, total bet, last win amount, autoplay function, and last the spin button. As per usual, most Playtech slots offer the same preset values on the autoplay feature which are 10, 25, 50, and 99 spins. The music and some animation options can be controlled from the in-game menu. A quick spin feature and both autoplay parameters are missing.
The bet limits start at $0.25 (or 1p per line) and are capped at an extreme $2,500 (or $100 per line).
The game is described as a medium to highly volatile slot but in reality that changes depending on the current mode. Generally, you can expect medium volatility.
The game consists of 5 low-paying and 5 high-paying symbols. Starting with the former you’ll find a broken chip, a futuristic rifle, a glove-wearing hand, a slightly burned photograph of Sarah Connor, and a teddy bear. As for the latter, you will encounter a T-800 cyborg, Kyle Reese, John Connor, Sarah Connor, and finally the Terminator.
Things get a bit complicated with special symbols as, on top of the scatter, the slot also features a variety of wilds:
- Terminator Wild – This act’s as the slot’s base game wild symbol. It always appears as a cyborg’s eye and can apply a 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x winning line multiplier.
- Other Wilds – These consist of the T-1000 Wild, the Gold Multiplier Wild, and the Stacked Genisys Wild. The first two appear on the 1984 Free Spins while the third appears in the 2017 Free Spins.
- Scatter – This appears as the Genisys logo. It can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three scatter symbols activate the free spins feature.
Game Rules
Terminator Genisys Features
This Playtech slot is filled with bonuses and intuitive mini-games so pay attention as we explain each of them.
This feature can be randomly activated at any point during the base game. You will then be presented with 1-5 T-1000 symbols. Each one will give you a different reward which can be:
- A cash prize of 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x your total bet
- A win multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x
- A respin symbol
The win multipliers can stack so even the 1x multiplier is added on top of the already existing 1x default multiplier for a total 2x multiplier. Also, the respin symbol will retrigger the feature but any multipliers are separate from the previously activated feature.
This feature will be activated by landing 3 scatter symbols. You will then be presented with two options. You can either play the 1984 or the 2017 Free Spins mode. Both of them award 10 free spins and some special effects.
1984 Free Spins
During this feature, the Terminator Wilds will appear stacked on the reels but they will not award any win multipliers. However, during this mode, a barrel will be placed above each reel and any time a T-1000 wild symbol lands on any position of a reel then the barrel will be shot.
This will transform the T-1000 wild to a Gold Multiplier wild symbol attached with a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier. It will remain in that position until it takes part in a winning combination(s). It will then apply its multiplier and then removed from play. If there are more than one multipliers in play then only the higher one will be activated.
During the last round of the free spins, all Gold Multiplier wilds that were removed during the feature will return to the same positions.
2017 Free Spins
Following the same format as before, a holographic projector will be placed on top of each reel. In this mode, however, they can be shot at any point during the start of a spin. This results in a Stacked Genisys wild filling the respective reel.
They will remain in place until they form part of a win. After that, they will be removed and can’t appear again in the same reel for the remaining feature. Also, the Terminator Wild doesn’t apply win multipliers during the 2017 Free Spins.
