Frankenstein slot machine is a real treat for all fans of classic horror movies as it’s themed around the 1931 movie. I’ve played this slot for a few hours and quite enjoyed it, so let me share my thoughs about the Frankenstein slot with you, we’ll identify the pros and cons. This game is officially licenced by Universal and you’ll see the characters from the movie on your reels. Frankenstein is a penny slot as you can play only one payline for €0.01 if you wish, and the minimum to cover all 20 paylines is €0.20. Maximum possible bet is €100, so the game is good for both penny slots players and high rollers, and it also allows for betting strategies. Main game and paytable The game is played on a 5x3 board with 20 paylines, which is a standard NetEnt setup and all players will be familiar with it. The paytable consists of high-win symbols and card symbols, and the latter are dominating the board most of the time and they all look alike. The main symbols: Frankenstein Monster, Dr. Frankenstein, Fritz and The Brain, don’t appear too often. Since the frequency of these symbols is low, the big wins are also scarce and you’ll probably need help from a Wild or two to form a winning payline that involves a high-win symbol. But the Linked Wilds feature does help a lot. Any Wild symbol will turn two or more nearby symbols into Wilds, so you’ll get a minimum of three Wilds, perhaps more. Wilds only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, but can expand to other two reels. With this kind of setup, variance is a bit higher than usual for NetEnt, as wins aren’t frequent but the Linked Wilds will help you get that big win if you’re patient enough. Theoretical return to player (RTP) is quite high, 96.70%, which is great. This makes Frankenstein a playable game, as you know the payout is good, and while the game doesn’t pay often you know a big win is just behind the corner and could happen on any spin. The paytable is generous when it comes to five-of-a-kind wins of top two symbols, The Monster and Dr. Frankenrstein. Bonus features When you land three or more Scatters, you’ll get 10 free spins. Spins can be re-triggered for +5 more if you land two Scatters during the feature, or +10 if you land three Scatters again. In the free spins game you’ll have a Fire Wild instead of Lightning Wild, but they’re the same. A multiplier of x1 to x5 will apply to line wins during this feature. The multiplier will appear on reel 5, and it can go up to x5, after which it will reset to x1. The free spins game won’t necessarily be that rewarding every time you trigger it, but the chance of winning big is slightly increased compared to the main game. You’ll need to trigger the free spins game numerous times to finally find that huge win. Conclusion Frankenstein is a great slot for all horror movie fans, and they’ll know how to appreciate the official licence and the theme which uses the 1931 movie. When you look beyond the theme you’ll find a good slot game with high theoretical payout, and with low win frequency but with a chance to win big. Variance is a bit higher than it is in most NetEnt titles, but that’s a good thing and many players will like it. I did, so I can recommend this slot, it’s good for almost every player profile.
