Review
Relive the hilarious moments of the epic horror comedy Gremlins on the slot from Red 7 Mobile, powered by Scientific Games. Gizmo, Stripe and their furry monster friends mack a comeback on a set of reels and they have not changed their ways of creating havoc wherever they appear. Only this time they will trigger a flurry of random and bonus features that can lead to wins of up to 1,000 times your bet in a single spin.
Slot Details
Gremlins is a branded video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Spin the reels with Gizmo and Stripes on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 96.47%.
Anyone who has watched the epic 1984 movie will recognize Billy’s room in the attic of his parents’ house. Gremlins have taken over the control and are lounging around the game window which is ornamented by a lampion chord. Various movie items and props dominate on the reels while parts of the original soundtrack as well Gizmo’s and Stripe’s creepy laughs have been included in the audio for added authenticity.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, awarding across the board 2.5x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by soda cups, popcorn, 3-d cinema glasses, microwave and a Gremlins icon. Hit five on a line to win 5x to 25x your stake.
Stripe, the evil gremlin, is the wild and top-paying symbol, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding 50x your bet when five land on a line. Gizmo, the more friendly gremlin, acts as the scatter on this slot.
Gremlins Slot Features
Looking at the flurry of random and bonus features on this game makes you think that an ex-Blueprint slot developer joined Red 7 and continues now with his creations in an identical fashion. If you ever played TED or Beavis and Butt-Head from Blueprint, you will know what to expect next. As usual with such slots, we will try our best to put it all into chronological order. Bear with us as it will be a long but hilarious ride.
Let’s start with the random features which can trigger at the end of a spin in the base game. The most common are the Stripe Wilds. Any time Stripe lands on a spin, he could multiply himself, turning a random number of symbols in view into wilds. All is happening to his cunning laugh. Wins are evaluated after the modifier has been applied. Equally, one or two Gizmo scatters landing in one spin can activate the Freebie Bonus and randomly multiply to trigger the Bonus Selector. Lastly, the Bonus Entry feature can activate randomly after the reels have stopped and turn Stripe Wilds on the reels into Gizmo scatters to activate the Bonus Selector as well.
Hitting Gizmo scatters on reels one, three and five in one spin will trigger the Bonus Selector. Alternatively, this can happen via the two random features. The game will lead to a second screen where one of five bonus features will be randomly awarded.
- Splashing Wild Free Spins: Awards 8 free spins which can be retriggered. Any Stripe Wild landing on a free spin will jump into the pool and expand upwards to cover the entire reel. Turning all five reels into Stripe Wilds will pay the maximum win in a single spin at 1,000x your bet.
- Gremlin Link Free Spins: Awards unlimited free spins with 3 lives. All symbols are removed and only special Stripe symbols will appear, each marked with a coin win. Landing no Stripe symbol on a spin will lose you one life while one appearing will stay sticky until the end of the round and restore the counter to three. A sixth reel is added on the right with Gizmo Multiplier symbols only. Hitting one on a free spin will multiply the coin wins on all Stripe symbols in view by x2, x3 or x5. The feature ends when you run out of lives or the screen is filled with Stripe symbols. All coin wins in view are added and paid in one amount.
- Avoid The Sun Free Spins: Unlimited free spins with two meters at the top of the game window. One will count the winning spins and the second the special Sun symbols landing on the reels. Persisting Wilds are activated once the first counter reaches 8 winning spins. Any Stripe Wild landing on a subsequent spin will turn into sticky Persisting Wilds. The feature ends when the Sun meter reaches 11 collected symbols. Occasionally, that will happen before sticky wilds are activated.
- Gizmo Box Hunt: Pick-and-Click bonus game with four levels and 9 boxes on each level. Boxes contain coin wins, Collect and Level-Up. Keep picking boxes until you unveil a Collect sign.
- No More Cash After Midnight: Trail bonus game with a clock and coin wins. Spin the clock to see Gizmo advance when it stops between 1 – 11. Any unveiled bet multiplier is added to the tally. Stopping the clock at 12 will end the game. Maximum 100x your bet is up for grabs.
Final Verdict
Gremlins existing and maybe soon-to-be fans will have field day spinning the reels on this slot from Red 7 Mobile. Not only did the creators keep the original DNA of the movie but they also included ample features to keep you well entertained. While we would have liked a higher maximum win potential, we can see it delivering frequent medium-sized wins in the 50x to 250x bet range. Maybe not sufficient for the hardcore gamer but nonetheless wins anyone will gladly take.
