Peak Zombie fever may have passed, but The Walking Dead lives on, both on our TV screens, and in online slots. Playtech acquired the licence for games based on the hit series, and it has now hooked up all your favourite characters with its great Cash Collect mechanic in The Walking Dead Cash Collect slot.
Without the Cash Collect feature, this is pretty much a classic slot machine. The 5x3 grid is set against the background of the deserted Alexandria Safe Zone and features 30 paylines. Line wins are formed by three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels across a payline, starting from the left. The betting range is huge, from 0.10 to 500.00 per spin, and line bets are the total bet divided by 30.
The game also features four fixed jackpots. These are the mini (20x), minor (50x), major (200x), and grand (1,000x). The grand represents the top potential win from this medium volatility game, and theoretically, it can be won multiple times in a session.
As well as the nine regular symbols, card ranks J to A plus five premium character symbols. There’s a handful of special symbols that can land. First is the Zombie Wild, who’ll stand in for all the regular symbols to help form possible line wins.
The rest of the special symbols are all connected to the Cash Collect feature. These are the three types of Cash Collect symbols, Coin symbols, Diamond symbols, and Free Spins symbols. And to find out how they all work, read on.
The Cash Collect feature triggers any time a Cash Collect symbol lands on the fifth reel in the base game. When this happens, all the special symbols on the board are collected, and the prizes attached awarded to the player.
Diamond symbols give one spin of the Jackpot wheel, which awards one of the five fixed jackpots. Coin symbols award their value as a cash prize. And Free Spins symbols give the player spins to the total of all collected.
During the Free Spins, the different types of Cash Collect symbols come into play. First up, they can now land anywhere on the grid, not just reel five. And each colour modifies the gameplay differently.
The Safe Zone sees Blue Cash Collect symbols stick in position for the following three spins. In The Commonwealth, green Cash Collect symbols move to the left with each spin. And lastly, the Danger Zone sees red Cash Collect symbols landing with a win multiplier, and then moving down the reels one position each spin as the multiplier decreases.
The Walking Dead Cash Collect is definitely worth playing, both for the great thematics, which include clips from the series after each premium win, and the Cash Collect feature. Playtech has made great use of it here to produce an entertaining and potentially rewarding slot. Try it now at Gala Spins. Good luck!
