Our thoughts on the theme of Dr Franken’s Lab

Will this monstrous theme have what it takes to impress slots fans at any time of the year? This Dr Franken’s Lab slot review will take a closer look.

Ghoulish fun for all

This slot’s garish and ghoulish theme is strewn with zombies and stereotypical scary imagery, making for a fun gaming experience. The graphics are high quality, making this theme even more fun to play. We particularly like the walking wild zombies as they trudge across the reels.

An unseasonable appearance: what will fans make of it?

While it is true that this theme will be very well-suited to a Halloween release, we think slots players will get pleasure from this one whenever they play it. The quality of the graphics, fun animations and even the chilling music all come together to make an otherwise quite simplistic slot into one that is lots of fun to play.

Dr Franken’s Lab bonuses 

Although there isn’t exactly a deluge of bonuses, and no win multiplier as such, there are a couple of noteworthy Dr Franken’s Lab bonus features we should mention:

Random event

This feature will briefly activate during the base game. It is this feature that turns random symbols into walking wilds, which we will tell you about below.

Walking wilds

In addition to the game’s wild symbol substituting for any regular symbol, we have the walking wilds feature. This is where any wild will stay on its row and walk left until it can go no further.

Free spins

The free spins are activated when players land three zombie exodus symbols (the scatter symbol) during the base game. This awards eight free spins and players will notice the zombie exodus begin.

Dr Franken’s Lab review: our verdict 

Whenever we review a slot that looks like it belongs to a particular season, we always wonder whether it will be well-received throughout the rest of the year. This fright-fest of a slot will surely be popular around Halloween, but is it good enough in other ways to provide all-around entertainment?

Fun features without being too busy

Although there aren’t many features, we think this slot has a good balance. It has a walking wilds random feature and a free spins bonus to offer players but doesn’t go crazy and have so many features that players struggle to understand what is going on.

Not frightfully volatile

We like that this slot had medium variance. Combined with the more basic features, we think this will make it an ideal slot for beginners to get their feet wet.

Will players think this slot is a scream?

Despite being unseasonable, we think the theme will go down well with players most of the time. The great balance of features means it has an additional dimension without too much complexity. The RTP is average, and don't forget the decent max win of 7,290x. We like this slot and think it will prove popular.
