Slot Review: Zone of the Zombies

Our bias is clear, here: we are all big fans of Halloween. The candy, the masks, the creepy movies on TV, the freaky online slots… suffice it to say, we kick the season off early here at SlotsData. We’re getting back to the classics with Zone of the Zombies, a re-review of the phenomenal Cryptologic Frightmare punter that remains one of our all-time favorites. Fans of the Resident Evil video games and movies or George Romero’s exceptional Night of the Living Dead series will get a kick out of this blood n’ guts slot title, which is both fantastically, freakishly fun and quite lucrative!

Zone of the Zombies is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot. Coin values start at just one penny and range upwards to five dollars, with max coins of twenty-five (one per payline) making the highest per-spin wager one of one hundred twenty-five dollars. The standalone jackpot is six thousand coins (thirty thousand bucks!), which is sweet as candy all by itself. The big-ticket attraction here, however, is Cryptologic’s Frightmare progressive jackpot, which is shared between all three of the Frightmare titles.

Blood-splattered weapons and body parts are scattered across the reels – nail-studded baseball bats, dangling eyeballs, sharp knives… everything one needs for kicking some zombie tail, in other words. There are wilds, scatters, and bonuses. Our favorite aspect of Zone of the Zombies, however, is the video-game-esque bonus round in which we get to shoot at brain-eaters for extra cash! It’s the closest we’ve ever gotten to getting paid for playing video games, and we loved every minute of it!
