Granny vs Zombies

Pear Fiction delivers another hit with Granny vs Zombies, an original slot that blends horror elements with all the comedy of a rather unusual protagonist... grandma! Released in 2023, this game features a 5x4 grid and 20 fixed paylines. Bets range from a minimum of 10 cents to a maximum of 50 euros, with the highest win potential reaching 5,000x the initial stake. Completing the introductory overview is the list of special features, including jackpots, free spins, lock & win, and bonus buy.

Theme and Graphics

The style of Granny vs Zombies is nothing short of original: we have a ruthless granny who's ready to take out as many brain-eaters as possible! Set in an urban environment at night, we see a dimly lit street that takes a backseat to the reels, which are the true stars of this slot game. This is where the most absurd and unimaginable things happen, with the old lady massacring zombies in the most varied and unthinkable ways possible. We're looking at a game that knows how to entertain and amuse with a theme that should be scary, but is actually quite funny, and very much so!

Bonus Features

Lock & Win: when a minimum of 6 Lock & Win tokens appear, the namesake special feature begins. Here players get 3 respins, with activated Coins moving to the extra game round and each new coin remaining stacked in its space. There are 4 variants of this precious symbol, called Regular, Multiplier, Key, and Star. The first allows players to win 1 to 12 times the bet, the second multiplies up to 5x, the Key version provides extra reel rows to play with plus prizes ranging from 1 to 12x, and finally the Star coin that ends the Lock & Win feature by awarding a Jackpot.

Jackpot Wheel: speaking of Jackpots, we notice how collecting coins also fills the dedicated bar which, when full, leads to winning various Jackpots available in Granny vs Zombies. There are 4 of these divided as follows: Micro, Mini or Major, and Major or Mega. Essentially, you can win on 3 levels, with 2 sharing the possibility (50-50) of winning one of the two just listed.

Free Spins: free spins couldn't be missing. You need 2, 3, or 4 scatters on the reels to get them. 10 free spins come when the frying pan hits and deals one point of damage, while 8 free spins are awarded when the rolling pin hits with 2 damage points. There are also 7 and 6 free spins available that come, respectively, when a kitchen knife or a molotov cocktail hits dealing 3 and 4 damage points each.

Buy Bonus: this is the classic feature where you buy one of the game's extras by paying a multiple of your bet. This is 149.99x for the Lock & Win Jackpot, 75x for the Jackpot wheel, 62.51x for free spins, and 31.45x for Lock & Win.

Author's Opinion on Granny vs Zombies Slot

This online slot is successful for several reasons: first of all, the theme is original and spot-on. The idea of shuffling the cards, offering a sort of Resident Evil where, instead of Jill Valentine, we have a merciless granny, is something genius. The theme is well executed, the symbols are well crafted, and the soundtrack is appropriate, with various zombie extermination animations that are highly entertaining. The special features are equally impressive: we not only have free spins and jackpots but also a dedicated wheel for the latter and a Lock & Win feature! Not bad for a game that theoretically was created with the intent of entertaining players without too many pretensions, right?
