Gremlins Slot Review – Red 7 / Scientific Games
Scientific Games have gone somewhat quiet since their release of ‘Montezuma Megaways’ in January. However, the slot sequel has been a huge success in the casino community. Now the studio has teamed up with Red7, which are now part of the Scientific Games family. The pair have worked together on their first collaborative slot release, using the Warner Bros license SG have acquired. This collaborative slot is titled ‘Gremlins‘, which is available to play now across all sites.
Gremlins is an American horror comedy which was released in 1984. The main character Billy receives a pet ( Mogwai) from his father which comes with three specific instructions. If Billy does not follow these 3 instructions a horde of monsters is unleashed. If you expose it to light you may hurt it, if you get it wet it will multiply and never let them eat after midnight. When they eat after midnight they change, they become clever, mischievous and dangerous. Gremlins 2 was released in 1990.
The slot background looks to be set In Billy’s bedroom. There are posters on the walls, Billys bedroom decor and green gas effects. There are red, yellow and blue lights wrapped around the reel border. The visuals are very impressive with a unique art style to suit the classic movie theme. The studios have represented Gremlins well and used their license on a great movie choice.
Gremlins has a classic setup of 5 reels by 3 rows, this includes 20 set pay lines. This game is medium variance due to the max win capped at 1,000x per spin and set RTP of 96.47%. You can bet from £0.10 – £100.
