Annihilator Slot Overview

Annihilator is a casino slot from Play’n GO and is part of the studio’s series of heavy metal-themed slots. This game is based on no other than the titular band Annihilator, which is basically a one-man band run by Jeff Waters since it formed in 1984. The band has had over 40+ members over its 4 decades of being in the industry, with many of the members being stand-ins for tours or guest features on songs. Originating from Canada, Annihilator is seen to be one of the biggest thrash metal bands to come out of the country and has released over 17 albums. The game is set at the Fun Palace, which is based on one of their most famous songs by the same name from the album Never, Neverland, which was released in 1990. It is here you’ll meet Jeff Waters himself, acting as a Wild Symbol that will expand and take over the reels in no time, thanks to the Respins and Trail of Fire bonuses. But there are more secret riches hidden inside the Fun Palace, so take a step inside and see if you have what it takes to hit the max win of 5,000X the bet.

Annihilator Slot Information

The game is set outside of the Fun Palace, a haunted old mansion that comes from the song by the same name. As you play, you’ll hear the same song in the background as the game's soundtrack, and Jeff Waters as all Wild Symbols, riffing on his guitar each time he shows up. The game can be played on most desktops, notepads, and mobiles. Wins are made by landing 3 of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 2X to 5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a haunted mirror, a red guitar, and a stone statue. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 20X to 30X the bet. You’ll also find 3 types of Special Symbols, those being Jeff Waters as the Wild Symbols, a haunted doll as the Bonus Symbols, and the Devil as the Scatter Symbols.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatter and Bonus Symbols.

In Command

Randomly on any spin, the In Command feature can be triggered, and when activated, all Wild Symbols will expand to cover the entire reel. If there’s no win, any Expanded Wild stays, and a Respin is initiated, which guarantees a wild to land. These Respins and guaranteed Wild will continue until a win is made.

Fun Palace

After landing 3 Bonus Doll Symbols, the Fun Palace is unlocked, and you are welcomed to a Pick ‘Em minigame, which lets you choose between dolls to uncover hidden prizes until an End Prize is selected. If you find a Scatter Symbol, the SET THE WORLD ON FIRE Free Spins feature is triggered.

The Wilds expand during the Respins and guarantee a win

SET THE WORLD ON FIRE Free Spins

The feature can be triggered by landing 3 Scatter Symbols or by finding a Scatter Symbol during the Fun Palace feature. When triggered, 8 initial spins are awarded, and the bonus game starts. During the bonus game, an expanded Wild Symbol will always be present, moving left or right between each spin, leaving behind a Trail of Fire on random positions. When a Wild lands on any highlighted Trail of Fire position, the entire Fire Trail turns into Wild Symbols. Each Scatter Symbol that appears during the bonus game awards +2 additional spins, up to a maximum of 50 extra spins.

Annihilator Slot Conclusion

At first glance, non-fans of Annihilator may look at this game as a weird horror-themed slot with a random guy playing guitar. While the band itself might not be all too far-fetched from that idea, Play’n GO did a great job turning the Fun Palace from just a song into a real slot with horror elements and a splash of Heavy Metal goodness. While the visuals and effects may be a bit simpler than other games in the same heavy metal series, such as the Sabaton game released the year before, we still think that the game has its charms and can hold up to today's releases, but do the spins hold up?

To answer that question, we can move on to gameplay, starting with the slightly above-average RTP of 96.2% and respectable max win of 5,000X the bet. Compared to the previous releases in the series, Annihilator is a bit simpler, but not in a bad sense, as we have a fun set of features that are a bit old-school, just like the band itself. With the randomly triggered In Command feature, we have something that spices up the base game here and there with consistent wins thanks to its guaranteed Respin Until You Win bonus. Outside of that, the Fun Palace pick ‘em feature is nothing crazy but can pay out quite well, and comes with the perk of activating the SET THE WORLD ON FIRE free spins. If the name of that bonus game doesn’t intrigue you, we don’t know what will, as it perfectly fits the feeling you get when a Wild Symbol lands in the Trail of Fire and flares up the entire screen with Wilds for a massive payout. If you want to dip your toes in some old-school thrash metal, discover old haunted mansions, or are just interested in a bit of a classic old-school slot experience, then you should be sure to check out the demo.

Annihilator is a slot with loud music, crazy guitar riffs, guaranteed wins, and volatile bonuses that make it so you can’t put the game down.
