Pragmatic Play Releases Horror-Themed 'Zombie Carnival' Slot

In Summary

• 4×6 grid with 4,096 ways to win
• Max winning potential: 5,000x the bet
• Free Spins with Mystery symbols and moving Wilds

 

Welcome to the circus run by the undead in a gruesome, yet hilarious new release by Pragmatic Play, Zombie Carnival slot. Providing a monstrous 4,096 ways to win across a 4×6 grid setup, this zombie festival hides the big maximum winning potential of up to 5,000x the stake. 

Delivering an out-of-the-box blend of popular themes, this game can be placed in a horror or Haloween video slots genre, although it has a more humorous than terrifying presentation. A pethora of weird characters spinning on reels is a bit spooky, but their cartoonish design offers comical relief so even the squeamish players can enjoy the super interesting gameplay. 

Pragmatic Play took a different turn from its usual work with this slot, according to the brand’s Chief Business Development Officer, Yossi Barzely:

“Capturing players imaginations with a vibrant theme and amusingly scary creatures, Zombie Carnival™ strikes a careful balance between horror and humour to deliver a well-rounded product to our audiences. 

With our last few slot releases delivering more wholesome themes, Zombie Carnival™ disrupts the pattern and provides a sense of variety to the offering, and we are thrilled with how it has taken shape.”

At times, the base game of Zombie Carnival can feel a little light on features, until Mystery symbols drop to spice it up. Appearing as gift-wrapped boxes in both the main game and bonus round, Mystery symbols transform into the randomly chosen same matching symbol at the end of a spin. 

Another special symbol is a Scatter, represented by a ghastly image of a human brain. Scatters can land only on all reels except the first one and 2 or more together in view activate the bonus round with 6 free spins. 

Every triggering Scatter transforms into a Wild Bear symbol that remains sticky in its position during free spins. Here’s the twist - if a new Scatter drops, the Wild moves to reach the position next to it. 

Showing off the superb animation, in one sweep of his paw the bear eats the brain Scatter. Each consumed brain raises the Wild multiplier by plus 1x and adds one extra free spin to the count. 

Since one Wild can eat only one Scatter at a time, if there are fewer bears on reels than newly landed brains, the left-over Scatters transform into Wilds as well. If this sounds so exciting that you can wait for symbols to hit and activate the bonus, you can purchase free spins at the cost of 80x the bet. 

The brand’s latest release follows the footsteps of Pragmatic recent hits Wild West Gold Megaways, Cleocatra, and Little Gem, which reside among a collection of premium titles in the provider’s award-winning games portfolio. 

It is a known fact that Pragmatic Play currently produces up to six new slot titles a month, but it should be emphasized since it is a huge accomplishment and a great contribution to the slot industry. To the whole iGaming world actually, as its big multi-product portfolio also include delivering live casino and bingo titles.
