More 'out there' games to play
There’s simply no shortage of weird and wonderful slots to play! Following on from our run-down of some leftfield slots you need to try, we’ve uncovered some more that definitely merit a further look!
Whether it’s the quirky themes, wacky graphics and animations or entertaining feature rounds, these all share one thing in common – they’re all ‘out there’, aka 'WTF' slots!
Let's have a look...
Rogue Rats of Nitropolis
ELK Studios have done it again. Rogue Rats of Nitropolis is about as far from a slot game as you can get – while still being undeniably fun and packed with winning potential.
The basic premise is this: There’s a notable fuel shortage in Rogue Rats, with the titular rat swinging between driving and stopping once the fuel runs out. When he stops next to a symbol the same colour as its vehicle, the values are collected. Upgrades along the way enable you to increase the value of these symbols, with multipliers, missiles and a host of other features ratcheting up the gameplay.
It's a game best understood by playing it. There are no reels or win lines as such – more like a playing area. But once you’re in the thick of it, there’s the chance to win up to 25,000x as a maximum win. It’s high volatility, with an RTP of 94.00%, but from a gameplay perspective, it’s hard to beat.
Try out Rogue Rats of Nitropolis for yourself – if even just to get a feel for how ‘out there’ some slots can be. We guarantee you’ve never played anything else like it.

Manimals
Imagine a dystopian future where human extinction has paved the way for the evolution of some hybrid human-animal creatures. That’s the somewhat plausible backdrop to Manimals, a high volatility, and peculiar (in a good way!) slot from the developers at Stakelogic. The background music adds tension and makes it feel like something big is about to happen. And with any luck, it could be up to a 5,000x maximum payout! With 32,768 win ways, there are plenty of opportunities for big prizes along the way.
Set in a neon warehouse lab-type environment, there’s no faulting the visuals and the design elements here. Manimals has been well designed, with every element and feature fitting cohesively with the overall theme. While it’s certainly a little unusual, there’s a lot to like in Manimals, win, lose or otherwise.

Pop Cop
I’m not entirely sure what the theme of Pop Cop is meant to be, but it's easily one of the most curious slots I’ve seen in a long time! There’s definitely some J-Pop culture influences, with Japanese-style graphics and animations. Not a game for the faint-hearted, it looks to be set around a police chase – with none other than a smoking ram making its getaway from a busty police officer on a scooter.
Yeah, well we told you it was out there…
Underneath the wacky theme, this is a high volatility slot that packs a punch. The RTP at 96.16% is high enough, with a maximum payout of 10,000x delivering the goods for the luckiest spinners. With up to 50x on multipliers, plus free spins thanks to the scatter mechanic, there are some good wins to be had here when luck is on your side. Once you’ve taken a few moments to adjust to the crazy theme, Pop Cop is a slot that’s well worth a few spins.

Geese with Attitude
If you’re a fan of hip-hop, or at least familiar with the common genre tropes, you’ll feel right at home with Geese with Attitude. That’s right – rapping geese. And why not? Featuring 2 free spin bonus features, plus expanding wilds and prize boosts, there’s a lot more here than just the quirky theme. But if you’re looking for entertainment from your slots play first and foremost, you’ll find it in abundance with the Geese with Attitude.
The max payout here is 10,000x on a 96.10% RTP. Developers All41 Studios have a reputation for highly creative slots, and while the 5 reels/40 paylines feels a pretty standard format, there’s a lot of work across the rest of the design and styling that makes this an fascinating game to play.
Whether you’re into hip-hop or just fancy something a bit different, Geese with Attitude more than hits the mark.

Land of the Free
As usual, a very distinctive slot from Nolimit City – one of the most impressive modern slot developers 'out there' when it comes to quirky, unusual games. Land of the Free pokes fun at certain stereotypes you'll come across in the US. Set in a trailer park, the game features a line-up of acutely observed characters. From first landing, you’re greeted with a Trump-style introduction, before what can only be described as a somewhat flatulent rendition of the American national anthem. It’s probably borderline offensive, depending on where you’re from – but there’s a lot to like for most players in this off-beat, out-there, WTF slot.
The high max payout at 57,000x is reason enough on its own to give this game a whirl. The volatility is high and there are some big wins stored up in the game’s features, which include plenty of modifiers, free spins rounds and the Titan Spin feature. A good, fun slot with excellent visuals and sound effects throughout, Land of the Free is not to be missed.
