Plants VS Zombies Slots

Game Rules

The following rules are in effect when you play the slot machine adaptation of the game:

• Line wins are multiplied by the value bet of the winning line.
• If there are wins across different lines, they are added together to determine the player's total payout.
• If multiple wins occur on the same line, only the highest win is paid.
• Line wins pay from left to right.
• During a single spin, multiple scatter features can be won.
• In addition to reel wins, scatter wins are also paid during a spin.
• When free spins are triggered, they're played with the same bet and active lines as the triggering base game.
• All pays and plays are void in the case of a game malfunction.

Game Return to Player

The "game return" is the theoretical amount that the player can expect to recoup over the long term. For example, a 97% return indicates that the player should receive $0.97 for every $1 risked.

Depending on which online casino you're playing at, the return for Plants vs Zombies ranges from 91.56% to 94.48%. While the game is certainly entertaining, these percentages are slightly less than what you can expect to find on a number of Internet slots.

Cost of Play

The Plants vs Zombies slot has five reels and 20 paylines. The player can choose to activate between one and 20 paylines per spin, with the wager ranging from $0.01 to $10. This means you can activate all lines and play for anywhere from $0.20 to $200.

Plants vs Zombies Slot Pay Table

All slot machines have a pay table, which indicates the level of payout for various combinations of symbols. Just because it's based on a computer game, the Plants vs Zombies slot from Blueprint is no exception. As you play the game, the following present the most consistent ways to achieve a payout.

• Wild Zombie

  This brain-craving member of the undead serves as the wild symbol and looks like something out of George Romero's nightmares. It pays 2 for two symbols, 100 for three, 1,000 for four, and a massive 20,000 for five. The wild substitutes for all symbols, with the exception of the scatters.

• Chompers

  In the original game, these toothy plants can devour an entire zombie. In the slot adaptation, they pay 40 for three symbols, 140 for four, and 300 for five.

• Sunflowers & Peashooters

  These are the earliest obtainable plants in the original game. Peashooters blast away at advancing zombies, while sunflowers generate sun tokens that allow for additional plants to be powered and/or purchased. In the slot version, both symbols pay 20 for three matches, 100 for four, and 250 for five.

• Plants vs Zombies Logo

  The logo for the franchise features a grey-skinned zombie flanked by various plants. It is eligible to stack on all five reels. Pays 2 for two, 50 for three, 200 for four, and 500 for five.

• Ace & King

  As is the case with most slots, these playing card symbols are thrown in to round out the list of available icons. Pays 10 for three, 40 for four, and 200 for five.

• Queen, Jack, and 10

  More playing card values. All of these are worth the same amount, which includes 4 for three, 10 for four, and 100 for five.

• Bonus Symbol

  In order to activate one of the bonus rounds, you'll need to get this symbol on reels one and three, as well as a bonus scatter on reel five.

• Cherry Bomb Free Spins Scatter

  Get bonus symbols on reels one and three, as well as this scatter symbol on reel five, in order to activate the Cherry Bomb Free Spins bonus.

• Zombie Bonus Scatter

  Get bonus symbols on reels one and three, as well as this scatter symbol on reel five, in order to activate the Zombie Bonus.

• Zen Garden Bonus Scatter

  Get bonus symbols on reels one and three, as well as this scatter symbol on reel five, in order to activate the Zen Garden Bonus.

• Marigold Cash Prize Scatter

  Get bonus symbols on reels one and three, as well as this scatter symbol on reel five, in order to activate the Marigold Cash Prize bonus.

Plants vs Zombie Bonus Rounds

The following four bonus rounds are available for this Blueprint Gaming slot.

These spins are played out on a series of reels that differ from the base game, with the special cherry bomb symbol included. You'll also notice a pack of zombies marching from right to left at the base of the screen, dutifully moving towards your house between each spin.

When cherry bomb symbols appear on the reels, they explode to reveal other game icons. If three chili pepper symbols turn up, then all zombies on the screen are destroyed. This continues until zombies reach the door of your house and shamble inside.

A number of vases appear on the screen, and the player is asked to choose one. If a plant is revealed, then a cash prize is won. If your in-game neighbor Crazy Dave is uncovered, the screen switches to nighttime and allows the player to choose among tombstones for additional prizes.

Another level-up is also available, allowing players to move onto their roof and select from plant pots. If a gold trophy jackpot symbol is uncovered on any level, the progressive jackpot is paid out. If a zombie marked "Collect" is revealed, then the round ends after the player's winnings are added up.

In this bonus round, the player is presented with a series of watering cans. The objective is to select one of the cans, which reveals either a flower or a zombie. If a flower is uncovered, then the player gets to water the marigold and increase their overall payout. If a zombie is revealed, then the player's winnings are added up and the bonus round comes to an end.

The player can also win the progressive jackpot by uncovering the appropriate symbol.

When this bonus is activated, the screen becomes filled with plant pots. The player selects one of the pots and receives the cash prize hidden beneath it. At this point, the player has two choices: take the available prize or choose another pot. The round continues until the player has either selected a prize or picked five pots.

Revealing the progressive jackpot symbol results in the game's largest payout for the player.

Plants vs Zombies Features

In addition to the bonus rounds, the Plants vs Zombies slot has a couple of neat features that activate randomly during the base game. Each begins when neighbor Crazy Dave, wearing a cooking pot on head and mumbling like a madman, suddenly appears on the screen.

Crazy Dave bursts onto the screen and shouts "Watch out...the zombies are coming!" You'll then be bombarded by a hoard of undead, and their methods of movement include everything from pogo sticks to rappelling down via ropes. As this occurs, they turn various symbols wild, resulting in additional winning combinations.

Crazy Dave appears and babbles "Watch out...the Gargantuar is coming!" This is following by a massive zombie appearing on the screen, wielding a telephone pole as a club and carrying a smaller undead on his back in a makeshift papoose. As the Gargantuar moves across the screen, he pauses to smash his weapon against the ground, and this turns entire reels wild. After he disappears, the player's win total is added up and awarded.

Progressive Jackpot

The progressive jackpot for the game can be won during any of the bonus rounds. This is accomplished by revealing the Progressive Jackpot bonus symbol, although the Cherry Bombs Free Spins phase requires five golden trophy symbols to show up during a single spin.

Four-percent of each wager goes into the progressive jackpot. To date, the largest jackpot won on the game is $871,170.36, which is a solid payout when you consider that the maximum wager per spin is capped at $200.
