Zillard King

Face up to a giant lizard that rises out of the sea with Zillard King, the online slot from Red Tiger. If you're thinking it all looks and sounds a bit familiar, that's because there are definite shades of Godzilla here, even though it's not officially linked in any way. And if you can face the terrifying sea monster as it emerges out of the ocean, you could collect a cash prize of up to x3800.

The chances of one giant sea lizard living undetected in the ocean are pretty remote, but two? Even the name is pretty similar: Zillard and Godzilla have distinct similarities! But it's not our place to suggest that this is a Godzilla copy - there's just a whole heap of coincidental similarities! If you were looking for the real deal, branded Godzilla slots are available from other studios. These include Godzilla vs King Kong from Arrow's Edge, Godzilla from IGT and Godzilla on Monster Island, also from IGT.

But back to this mighty monster, and you'll be playing on a 5x4 board that includes 30 fixed paylines. Betting is from 0.10 to 20.00, which is modest, but tallies with the medium volatility. That means that this monster has more bark than bite, and you'll probably only see fairly average-sized prizes washing ashore.

There's a wild feel to the reels, which are bobbing around in the middle of an angry ocean. A dark blue night sky provides a sense of foreboding, and you can just glimpse the city on the shoreline in the distance. All that's needed is for the scaly monster to burst out from the waves…any moment now…

The low pays are made up of playing card suits, looking relatively innocent against a sinister backdrop. The premium symbols include a helicopter, gas mask, compass and orb, which pay out up to x15 for five in a line. When an extra sixth reel is added - which is possible! - the potential doubles to a very respectable x30.

The Zillard wild can substitute for any of the low or high pays to help you make more matches. However, the wild has a more integral part to play in the game, as you'll find out below. 

Along with matching symbols on paylines, your goal will be to unlock Zillard Wild upgrades by collecting coins.

These golden coins appear at random on the bottom right-hand corner of any symbol, and if this occurs on the same spin as a wild landing, the coins will be collected. Ask of the coins move the Zillard wild Progress Bar further along. The number of gold coins you collect determines the upgrade you'll receive:

• 30 gold coins increases the size of the wild to 1x4
• 60 gold coins adds a multiplier (random size) to the wild
• 90 gold coins turns the wild sticky where it will remain until it has delivered one win, plus been present for a further non-winning spin

For every consecutive win that a wild participates in, the multiplier will increase up to a maximum of x20.

When you have achieved all of the three upgrades for the Zillard wild, the next step is for the progress bar to change into the 6th reel. This reel is special as only high pays can land on it, no wilds or low pays.

As one final extra, if a Zillard wild lands but isn’t involved in a win, there’s the possibility that he might let out a earsplitting roar to summon up the Thunder wilds. This guarantees a win, and gives you 3-6 Thunder wilds if you’re playing with five reels or 3-9 wilds if you’re playing with six. 

Huge credit must go to Red Tiger, as with Zillard King, they've created an online slot that has a true sense of the dramatic. Stunning visuals combined with strong gameplay mean that there's plenty here for all players to enjoy.
