The Lost Boys Slot Overview

Theme, Graphics & Sounds

This game has a good theme, based on a 1980s film, with highly illustrative graphics and music that could have been taken directly from the movie. Apart from Dracula, it is arguably one of the best-loved vampire stories and still has somewhat of a cult following. 

The film is set in the fictional Californian town of Santa Carla, and the game uses the town’s beachside funfair to provide the backdrop to the reels. Of course, it’s nighttime or the vampires would not be out. This gives the game an eerie blue hue.

The Wild symbol is the famous rice box from the movie, whilst the winning symbols are well-illustrated depictions of the main characters, and the Scatter symbol is a set of vampire teeth. The Bonus Collect symbol is a vampire character, and the Bonus Cash symbols include a blue moon and a set of candles.

Bonus Features in The Lost Boys

Wild

The Wild symbol substitutes for all winning symbols but not the Bonus Collect, Cash symbol or Bonus Scatter symbol.

Cash Collect Feature

On any spin, Moon or Candle Cash symbols may land on reels 1-4, displaying a cash amount which signifies a win multiplier of the total bet. If these land simultaneously with a Bonus Collect symbol on reel 5, the Collect feature will trigger. There are four types of Bonus Collect symbol: Standard, Respin, Boost and Super. All of them will expand to cover reel 5.

When a standard Collect symbol appears, all cash amounts will be collected and will be paid out as a total win for the spin, along with any line wins. When a Respin Collect symbol appears, it will first collect the Cash amounts and then respins the reels, collecting any more that land.

When a Boost Collect symbol appears, it will boost the current Cash amounts before collecting them (up to a max of x5). When a Super Collect symbol appears, it will collect the Cash amounts multiple times (to a max of five), giving the Boost and the Super collects the highest payout potential of all Collect symbols.

Reel Modifiers

On any base game spin, one of four Reel Modifiers may randomly occur to boost winnings. These are as follows:

• High Stakes - Adds Cash symbols to reels


• Blood Lust - Adds Wilds to reels


• Bonus Boost - Adds Bonus symbols to reels


• One of Us - Symbols disappear and new ones drop in

Free Spins

In this slot, the free spins feature is triggered by the Scatter symbol. It needs to land three times in the base game for the feature to start. Players are awarded ten free spins. During this feature, Collect symbols are accumulated for more spins and greater cash multipliers.
