Play The Slot for Free

The Slot is not exactly the most imaginative of titles in the world of slot machines, and we have struggled to work out exactly what the title has to do with the theme. We mean, we're all up for a meta-slot which had a theme about slot machines, like a slot within a slot if you will. But this game makes no such attempt at self-aware post-modernism, instead opting to give spinners a visceral fright with its slasher horror style design and gory symbols.

Upon the blood-stained reels, players will find everything that you might need if you were a psychopathic killer a-la Mike Myers, Freddy Kreuger or Jason Voorhees. There are meat hooks, syringes, meat cleavers, chainsaws, sharp fangs, dismembered fingers, eyeballs, scary masks and blood splattered dolls. As you can probably imagine, this game is not for the feint of heart.

As far as graphics go, The Slot is as dark and gruesome as you might expect, with an aesthetic that you might more easily associate with an old-school video game like Resident Evil than a video slot machine. The background to the reels is a canvas of bright red and sinister black while the symbols themselves have a creepy, if not a bit out-dated, quality about them.

In truth, the appearance of this slot machine is far from being at the cutting edge of video slot design. There are no 3D graphics and no notable animations to report back on. Unfortunately, this makes the game seem a little bit more like a cheap novelty costume from the pound store than a truly terrifying horror experience.

The game play of this slot machine is very straightforward. Players have the choice to lay down anywhere between 1 and 25 pay lines, with a line bet range of 10 to 500 credits. Admittedly, this might give some punters quite a shock, especially those who like to spin with low and casual betting amounts.

Another thing that might give players a shock is the fact that the game doesn't offer up any pay table interface. Therefore, there is no way of telling whether the stakes are really worth it because there is no indication of the potential wins behind every spin.

We can tell you, however, that the game's ultimate jackpot prize is a 3,000x line bet multiplier. Apparently, this top jackpot prize is rewarded when a player lines up “5x Long Time Dead” – your guess is as good as ours!

With no pay table and no extra side menus, there is also no way to find out any comprehensive information about this slot machines bonus features. Instead, all of the information available is presented in the rolling banner that appears at the bottom of the screen.

We were actually lucky enough to trigger some bonus action on the few spins that we had with this game, so we can enlighten you a little bit about what you can expect:

There is no denying that The Slot is a unique game with its gruesome gory theme and high staking options. Unfortunately, however, there are many downsides to this slot machine. For starters, there is no way of knowing how much money you can win without a pay table, something which is absolutely essential for any slot machine. There is also a dearth of information about the bonus features, although these game play elements turn out to be very bog-standard with no real scary surprises, which, ultimately is a shame for a horror-themed slot machine!
