Virus Invasion Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

The team at Gameplay Interactive slots have released their latest video slot, and it offers a unique playing experience. In Virus Invasion, the player will find that our planet is under invasion by a swarm of mysterious viruses, and scientists are trying to protect the great mass of humanity from suffering under a pandemic - a scenario that’s perhaps a little too close to home for many right now.

Virus Invasion has five video reels and 40 betways. Players achieve a winning combination by getting at least three symbols of a kind in adjoining reels from left to right. Payline winnings are multiplied by the symbol payout, and only the highest winning combination on each payline is paid.

The symbols are made to look like fun little germs and bugs. There are the common Card symbols and five funky multicoloured germs in primary colours. Players should also look out for the Wild symbol designed to look like a cartoon syringe, and the Scatter symbol, which is a Superhero White Cell.

Players can look forward to quite a wide array of potential bonuses, such as Expanding Wilds, Respins, and Free Spins rounds.

Players who are used to the Cyrus the Virus slot and like the style will really appreciate Virus Invasion. Virus Invasion is available to play in a totally free demo mode where players can get used to the style of play and the rules without having to stake any real money. It is recommended that players try out the demo and see how they feel about Virus Invasion before playing at a real online casino.

Virus Invasion Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The theme of Virus Invasion is incorporated really well into the slot. The game loads through the lens of a microscope and the grid for the reels is deep within some human cells, so players can see red blood cells floating past the symbols. DNA helices make up the boundaries of the reels. The spin button is a glass flask in a fun detail that speaks to how carefully this game was designed.

The icons are designed to all have a really unique look and to match the cartoon style used in all the graphics for the game. Some players might find this style to be a little childish, but it does work within the game theme really well.

One aspect that players may find really off-putting is the soundtrack. It’s easily switched off in the settings, but it is definitely very loud and could easily become annoying during play.

Virus Invasion RTP & Volatility

Virus Invasion has a RTP of 96.95%. Although the volatility is unpublished, the RTP would suggest a medium to high volatility.

Virus Invasion Bonus Features

The vaccine is the Wild Card. The Wild Card substitutes for all symbols apart from Scatter symbols. It can appear on all the reels and appears stacked.

The White Cell Superhero is the Scatter card. These only appear on reels two, three, and four. If players land three of them on the reels, they trigger a free spins bonus.

On a main game, a full stack of red germs appearing on the first reel will award three respins. During a respin round, all red germ symbols and wild symbols will be locked onto the reels - and they’ll mirror onto the reels, replicating themselves like a real virus. The total payout of all the red germ symbols and wilds will be added together at the end of the round.

Virus Invasion Overall Review

Virus Invasion is a fun and kooky slot game with a fairly solid RTP rate of 96.95%. The theme is a fun one and makes for clever symbols that really tie into the specific bonus features coded for the game. Gameplay Interactive have really created a fun little slot here that is ideal for casual players or those who are super serious about their slots. The only downsides are that the jackpot might be considered a little low, the volatility is unpublished, and the soundtrack is best left on mute. Virus Invasion is available on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
