For months, Microgaming has been teasing the release of its new Terminator 2 slots game. Professionals and players in the online casino industry have been eager to give this game a spin, and they finally have the chance.

So, we wanted to get a good look at this new online slot machine that’s causing so much buzz.

The Design

We are quite keen on the design for the new Terminator 2 slots game. It would have been easy for the design team to go overboard while creating a slots game based on such an epic sci-fi film, but they took it easy.

As such, you’re not overwhelmed by too many graphics. It’s an understated design that fits perfectly with the setting of the film with a futuristic and industrial feel.

The music is also taken from the soundtrack, so you’ll certainly want to give T2 another watch after playing this game.

Our one gripe is that there isn’t much variation with the symbols. Only a few of the symbols are based on characters, there is a logo and the rest of J – A card symbols. There was room to include more images from the film, so we feel like there was a missed opportunity there. 

Ways to Win

The base game of Terminator 2 is a 243 Ways to Win slots game. This means that there are no paylines and players just make one wager to trigger all potential winning ways. When the Free Spins game is triggered, the reels expand and give players 1024 Ways to Win.

Bonuses

The bonus features in Terminator 2 slots are quite ingenious in the way that they use the symbols to depict plot points from the film. For example, when T-100 appears on the reel during the Free Spins Game, he morphs into all other character symbols. It is a new type of wild symbol, and it’s a nice touch. During another bonus, T-800 grants bonuses for each character symbol that appears on the reels.

No Off-Screen Bonus

We noticed the lack of an off-screen bonus, which is a bit of a bummer. There could have been a cool fight or action sequence to really increase the excitement – but it’s not a big deal. The bonus features that are available are sufficient, and they offer up great winning potential.

Our Verdict

We’d suggest giving Terminator 2 slots a spin. While the game presents some new innovations, it is not overly complex. As such, it will appeal to fans of classic slots and modern gamers – not to mention fans of the Terminator series.
