Terminator Genisys Slot Machine

Pros:

• Great set of diverse special features. There is a lot to experience on Terminator Genisys and this makes for a slot with plenty of replay value.
• Large main game prizes.
• Massive upper betting limit – one of the largest we’ve ever seen.
• Artwork remains true to the movie itself.

Cons:

• Not everyone will enjoy the theme. This is down to personal preference, of course. However, there is a lot to like about the title and even those who care not for time travelling cyborgs will likely get a kick from playing it.

Game Features

Terminator “Wild” Symbols

There are four varieties of Terminator “wild” symbols: Regular (represented by the robot’s eye), 2x, 3x, and 5x. These multiply winnings by the relevant amount.
Terminator “wild” symbols will substitute for all symbols except from the game logo “scatter”. These “wilds” will appear stacked in the 1984 Free Games mode.

Choose Your Free Games

Landing three or more Genisys “scatter” symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the player’s choice of free games. They can opt for either the 1984 Free Games or the 2017 Free Games. In the former, they must travel back in time to save Sarah from the Terminators. In the latter, they must end Skynet in the modern age to help save the world from Judgement Day.

1984 Free Games

During this mode, the player will receive 10 Free Games. They must melt the T-1000 symbols for multiplier “wild” symbols of up to 5x. Once melted, these will lock in place until they form part of a winning combination.

What’s more, on the final spin of the game mode, all the T-1000 symbols will return to the reels for a final spin with the potential to win a huge prize!
This game mode is considered medium volatility.

2017 Free Games

During this feature, 10 Free Games are awarded to the player, during which they must destroy projectors for stacked Genisys “wild” symbols.
These stacked “wild” symbols will lock in place until they form part of a winning combination.

Players should note that only one stacked Genisys “Wild” can appear on a single spin and that this mode is considered highly volatile – big wins infrequently.

Free Games “Wild” Symbols

During the 1984 Free Games, the T-1000 “wild” symbols will substitute for all symbols except the Terminator “wild” symbols. These can also transform into gold multipliers (2x, 3x, and 5x) when melted down.

Hitting five-of-a-kind of these T-1000 “wild” symbols will award a prize of 1,200x the line bet.

During the 2017 Free Games, stacked Genisys “wild” symbols will be present on the reels. These will substitute for all symbols. Being stacked, they also dramatically increase the likelihood of winning big.

Terminator Car Chase Bonus

Players must help Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese flee from the inhuman T-1000.

This mode can be triggered at random during the main game on any spin. During the feature, players must shoot the T-1000 symbols for cash prizes, re-spins, and multipliers of up to 5x.

Regular Symbols

Along with the symbols awarding the largest payments on the Terminator Genisys slot machine, there are also some that grant lesser prizes. These use images of items from the movie. Again, you’ll find the prizes for each five-of-a-kind winning combination below:

• Teddy Bear = 100x the line bet.
• Photograph = 75x the line bet.
• Glove = 75x the line bet.
• Gun or Chip = 50x the line bet.

Betting Limits

The number of win lines is fixed at 25 on this game. This means that players can only adjust the total bet amount. These must be divided by the 25 win lines to determine the size of the prizes for matching symbols.

The lowest total bet is just 25p (the same as betting 1p on each line). Meanwhile, the highest total bet is a staggering R54 000 (like betting R2 200 on each line). As you can see, Terminator Genisys really does cater for all sizes of bankrolls – even the very biggest!

Overall Rating

All things considered, Terminator Genisys is an absolutely brilliant title by Playtech. The veteran design team usually do a rand job with their takes on blockbusters and this one is no exception.

There is a lot to like about the game and very little to dislike. We particularly enjoyed the massive upper betting limit, juicy main game prizes, and diverse array of bonus features. For these reasons, we can strongly recommend this game to all!
