Franken Alive Slot Review & Free Play

Franken Alive: Build the Creature and Have a Chance at the 10,000X Maximum Payout

Channel your inner Victor Frankenstein and unleash monsters to rule the reels of Pascal Gaming’s Franken Alive slot. There are monster parts to stitch up, injections to inject, and straight-up magic potions that award free spins with up to 10x multipliers. Create the ultimate monster, and up to 10,000x rewards could be yours. Care for a peek inside this operating room? 

This slot is structured in a five-reel and four-row configuration, and its gameplay mechanics are contoured by various variations of sticky, sliding, and expanded sticky wilds, with multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x your bet. To trigger the bonus game, you will have to land a minimum of three heart scatters on the grid. 

The game features a 96.6% above-average RTP and medium volatility, which translated pretty well throughout my gameplay session. I can say that in the early stages, around 50 spins or so, I was not really impressed with what I was getting.

Every few spins, I got small wins of around 0.25x and 1x my bet, and I was thinking that maybe the medium volatility was at work. However, I managed to turn the tables later on, and finally landed a few sliding wilds, with 10x multipliers, and got up to 80.2x wins out of them. By anteing up my bet by 1.25x, I realized that the wins came in more often, with sticky and expanded wilds appearing more often on the reels.

The free games came after 150 or so spins, and the wins were less than I had anticipated. Even with the sticky and expanded wilds permanently on the grid, I got a maximum win of 49x across my sessions, which left me bummed out. The wins from the base game were more profitable and more frequent than in the free games. You can buy those free games as well, at 100x the cheapest and 300x the most expensive. 

On a different note, I would like to point out that I really liked the graphics and animations, slots with grim thematics being one of my favourites, and this one really hit the right spot. 

Overall, I think that this slot can be profitable in the base game, and the free spins feature has potential, but based on my experience, the bonus games were lackluster in terms of payouts, granted the presence of sticky expanded multiplied wilds and the potential 10,000x max win.
