Microgaming and Slingshot Studios Release Zombie Hoard!

If you think that a Microgaming release can go unnoticed, well… guess again. Rolled out on March 6th, 2019, Zombie Hoard represents the developer’s latest addition to the portfolio, this time in collaboration with Slingshot Studios, an independent developer of gaming content and creator of Cash of Kingdoms, a highly popular slot release from February 2018.

Brains Back on the Menu

The new title features 5 reels, 9 paylines and mind-blowing visuals, as fans would expect. It also has a contagious soundtrack, mixed with state-of-the-art effects and “bone-rattling beats.” Characters shake, rattle and roll down the reels during base game, increasing players’ wins and making the entire story even more interesting…

David Reynolds, games publisher at the company, commented:

“Zombie Hoard is an enjoyable new slot from Slingshot Studios, serving up a fun and lively take on the popular zombie genre. The free spins token collect feature adds a great sense of momentum to the game aiding player retention, as players build up their grisly heaps of rewarding brains to gain entry into an excellent, feature-packed bonus round, brimming with super stacked wilds and a win enhancing 2x multiplier.

Capped off with gruesomely fun graphics and toe-tapping tunes, Zombie Hoard is an engrossing new addition to Microgaming’s diverse catalogue.”

Amongst other features in Zombie Hoard, punters will also find super stacked wilds (land on reels three and four), but even more engaging is to collect brain tokens; each safe stash determines the number of spins that are triggered during bonus spin mode, and this is when players can see big wins coming!

If thirty or more brain tokens are collected, extra spins are unleashed; however, landing three or more scatters can also bring extra rounds… rewards are boosted during this feature, and the game activates a 2x multiplier to spice everything up!

Humorous Zombie Outbreak

There has been an outbreak of zombie-themed slot games in the past period, including a title from NetEnt (Zombies) with 5 reels and 20 paylines whose maximum cashout jackpot is $10,000. Other reputable providers also released their versions and gained huge popularity across this vertical, such as SkillOnNet’s Zombie Bar, Leander’s Zombie Rush, Join Games’ Zombie Escape or Blueprint’s Plants vs. Zombies.

Richard Vermaak, head of studio at Slingshot, said about their zombie-inspired slot release:

“Players with a taste for the humorously macabre are invited to take a bite out of Zombie Hoard, our latest game under the Slingshot Studios brand, developed exclusively for Microgaming. We can’t wait to introduce players to a lumbering line-up of creepy and kooky characters, as they experience spine-tingling fun and thrilling rewards among the great undead!”

Recently, the supplier added Bookie of Odds, Arctic Valor, Shogun of Time, Banana Odyssey and more. Take a look at the preview and make sure to post a comment below.
