Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Monsters, a beautiful abomination from Fazi.
Though Dracula somehow didn’t make the cut, a quorum of retro, supernatural beasts has been assembled to scare players into quite an array of bonus features: two progressive jackpots, a Gamble feature, wilds with double win multipliers, and free spins with a triple multiplier.
Theme
Monsters!…
… are ordinarily a cause for great alarm. That’s not the case here, as Fazi has gathered a quite a group of classic horror villains together for player’s benefit. Especially useful is Frankenstein’s monster, who acts as wild and offers this title’s top base play payout at 100x for five-of-a-kind.
That’s just the tip of the monstrous iceberg, however: other high-value symbols include the Werewolf, Swamp Thing, a haunted castle, the Bride of Frankenstein, and the Mummy.
This slot’s most important symbol, however…
… is the wooden stake scatter symbol. This is the gateway to this title’s short but very sweet Free Spin feature, which occurs with locked wild symbols.
Betting Options and Functions
This slot offers 20 fixed paylines, all paying from left to right. Bet per line can be set from 0.10 – 30.00 for an overall per-spin bet range is 2.00 – 600.00 times the betting currency.
Autoplay can be engaged for up to 1,000 spins at a time, with limits available for single wins or bankroll swings of a selected size and options for quick spins. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is unknown.

Our Take
In recent years, Fazi has proved itself to be both the best and the biggest Balkan-based slot designer. Their growth has been just short of monstrous, but that wrong is righted in this excellent title: it’s rare indeed to find only three free spins at the core of a bonus feature, but when those free spins come with up to nine locked wilds, there’s no cause for complaint.
Players who enjoy this game’s design style should explore Burning Ice, a three-reel mini-slot also from Fazi with a minimalist approach.
