Annihilator

Annihilator is one of many slot games in Play‘n Go’s ‘rock’ series, each slot is based on a heavy metal or rock band. This time the game follows the Canadian thrash metal band Annihilator, who formed in 1984. The action-heavy slot brings dark and dingy aesthetics and a heavy rock soundtrack together for some truly awesome gameplay. You don’t need to be a fan of the band to enjoy this Play‘n Go game.

The slot features the standard 5 reels and 3 rows, with 10 paylines. In true Play'n Go form, the game has some electric bonus features to trigger, including high paying wilds and a free spins game that can nab you up to 50 free spins, with the chance of capturing 400x your stake.

The game has a solid impact when it comes to its visual impact, as you would expect from the likes of Play'n Go. The game is set around a desolate house with some pretty haunting imagery on the reels.

The Annihilator slot has a sinister presentation and a heavy soundtrack that makes for some interesting slot entertainment. You won’t find any light colours and cartoony imagery in this game if that’s your thing.

Design

The game is themed around one of Annihilator’s most famous songs “The Fun Palace”, which is anything but. The game is set outside a creepy mansion that looks very haunting, even for a slot game. The game matches up with the heavy soundtrack that’s provided by the band itself.

Annihilator has an eerie and dark presence on the reels, the game has some creepy symbols, including a walking doll, a broken mirror, a haunting reflection and a crying statue. There is also the lead guitarist who acts as the game's wild symbols. The symbols are all references to some of the classic songs from the heavy metal band.

As you play, the reels will light up when you land a wild reel, intensifying the slot play. The wild reel displays the band's lead singer rocking out on his guitar, pretty cool stuff! What’s impressive is the Fun Palace feature that takes you into the haunted house and you’re surrounded by scary dolls to pick from. The animation is first-rate, and it makes for a pretty awesome playing experience. Of course, it wouldn’t be a rock slot without a heavy metal soundtrack that coincides with the slot action.

Not a slot from the light-hearted, this slot is dark and sinister. Let’s just say that it will please fans of heavy metal rock!

Gameplay

The slot is played on the standard 5 reels and 3 rows, offering uncomplicated slot play. The game has the usual Play'n Go set up when it comes to the controls. The spin button is the brightest colour and on the control panel, you also have the auto spins button where you can set up to 100 spins. Then you have the betting range which can be set from £0.10 to £100, making Annihilator a suitable choice for casual players and high rollers. Then there is the information icon that provides info on the game symbols and slot features.

Win potential

Annihilator has a 96.2% RTP which is around the standard range for a Play'n Go slot. The medium to high variance game has a top payout of 400x your stake, this is achieved during the free spins feature where up to 50 spins can be triggered. This game provides a top payout of £40,000.

The randomly triggered features are where the big rewards are and when all reels turn wild you will achieve some excellent rewards. Although it’s one of the lowest-paying games in the ‘rock’ series from Play'n Go, it still offers frequent and generous wins.

Our Verdict

The Annihilator slot from industry giants Play'n Go is graphically rich and full of life, despite the dark and haunting theme. The game is bursting with features and the excitement levels are increased ten-fold when high paying action is triggered. The game has some rewarding features but the 400x maximum payout is low for Play'n Go standards. Overall, the game is packing some serious thrills through its rocking soundtrack and impressive visual quality.
