Infectus - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Although fun does not immediately spring to mind when infectious bacteria are mentioned, Infectus may change your mind as colourful and bubbly microscopic characters fill the reels. Although this is a controversial theme, the take the designers have opted for is unbridled fun. The symbols are colourful and bright and come with different characteristics.

The classic 5x3 setup will appeal to fans of these slots; what’s more the sticky wilds are a big plus. Once you trigger the latter, they can come around quite regularly and generate free spins.

The style of the slot is a reminder of great games of old. The experience is enhanced by the fun symbols, meaning players are kept entertained, although the RTP will be too low for some.
Fans of this game theme will find a similar slot in the form of Cyrus the Virus, which is available here at Slot Temple.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The reels sit against a multi-coloured cosmic sky; however, they seem to be floating underwater. The microbe characters are of a cute or scary design and seem to have arrived from outer space. Although the theme seems an odd choice in current times, the overall design tries to make the symbols attractive; in particular, the sticky wild seems to awaken from slumber once it sticks in place and cheerily triggers a free spin with the potential for more.

A slightly oriental soundtrack, with percussion that sounds a little like a dripping tap, does not really do a great deal to add to the enjoyment, but you can always mute it.

Infectus RTP and volatility

Infectus’s RTP of 92.99 per cent is very low and the volatility is described as low by the developer. Small wins are regular, but you will need wilds to enhance your chances.

How to play Infectus

This is a pretty simple game to play, but here are a few tips:

1. Once the game loads, click on the four bars in the top right-hand corner to open the settings. On the first screen, you can engage quick spin and adjust the music settings.

2. Click on the pile of chips to adjust your bet.

3. The fast forward button allows you to set autoplay through several incremental stages up to an infinite number of spins. This can be customised to end on win or loss levels.

Infectus bonus features and free spins

Infectus is limited in terms of bonus features, but the free spins feature is crucial to enjoying the game.

The sticky wild substitutes for all symbols when it appears on reels two, three and four. When it appears, it will expand through the rows and trigger a re-spin on the reels not covered by the symbol. If more wilds appear during the re-spin, you can win more re-spins up to a maximum of three.

Our verdict

If you enjoy this game, all well and good; otherwise, the wild feature may not be enough to maintain your interest in this slot.

Perhaps the designer might like to take a close look at the RTP on offer to attract more gamers. Although fans of a simple game may not worry about the lack of features, the appeal of the slot is definitely limited by the basic format.

Having said that, not everyone is desperate for a plethora of features in a game and this will appeal to many who want to play a simple game.

Nonetheless, you need to hit the wilds to maintain your bankroll. Our experience was that once they began to appear, they made up plenty of winning lines and kept our balance ticking over.

Overall, the rather unusual theme is enjoyable and the characterisation of the symbols strangely appealing. The animation of the symbols is good and provides a genuine 3D effect. Infectus is definitely worth a try; who knows, it could become one of your favourites.
