Annihilator Slot Review

Annihilator Slot Overview

Annihilator is Play’n GO’s take on one of thrash metal’s cult bands, and as a long time slots player I can feel the fan service straight away. The reels sit in front of the eerie Fun Palace mansion, while classic tracks pound away in the background. You get 5 reels and 10 fixed paylines, stakes from 10p up to £100 a spin, high volatility, and an RTP profile headed by 96.2 percent, with lower versions in some markets.

What hooks me is how neatly the game ties the band’s imagery to the mechanics. Jeff Waters himself acts as the star Wild, the mansion burns during free spins, and the whole thing feels like a horror gig in slot form. It is not the flashiest metal slot I have played, yet the mix of solid math, sharp soundtrack, and punchy features keeps me spinning longer than I plan.

Annihilator Slot Information

The action in Annihilator takes place outside the Fun Palace, a crumbling mansion lifted straight from the band’s song. You hear that track as the main soundtrack, with Jeff shredding a riff every time he lands as a Wild. The slot runs smoothly on desktop, tablet, and mobile, and wins pay from left to right on the 10 lines when you land at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels.

On the reels, the lower paying symbols are the metallic card ranks 10, J, Q, K, and A, styled in the band’s logo font. Five of a kind royals pay between 2 and 5 times your stake. Premiums include the haunted mirror, Jeff’s red guitar, the stone statue, and Alice clutching her doll Clare from Alice in Hell, with top regular wins around 20 to 30 times your bet for full lines.

Jeff Waters himself is the big Wild symbol, paying up to 40 times stake for five and stepping in for all regulars. The haunted doll acts as the Bonus symbol that opens the Fun Palace, while the Devil is the Scatter that lights up the free spins. With Wilds sitting above the premium band icons, the paytable feels top heavy, which suits a high volatility setup where you chase fewer but chunkier hits.

Annihilator Slot Features

Feature wise, Annihilator keeps things tight but effective. Wild symbols do the usual substitution work, standing in for everything except Bonus and Scatter. The real flavour comes from three named features that tie back to the songs. In Command is a random base game feature where Wilds expand and stick while you get respins until a win appears. Fun Palace is a pick feature keyed to the doll Bonus symbols. SET THE WORLD ON FIRE is the free spins mode.

From a grinder’s perspective, I like how each feature has its own job. In Command gives the base game some much needed hits during cold spells. Fun Palace is that old school pick session where you hunt multipliers and try to avoid the low End Prize. SET THE WORLD ON FIRE is clearly the main event, with walking expanded Wilds and fiery positions that can turn whole reels into Wilds when things line up.

In Command Feature in Annihilator

In Command can trigger on any spin, and this is where I often claw back sessions that look doomed. All visible Jeff Waters Wilds expand to cover their reels, and if that expansion does not create a win, the expanded Wilds stay locked while the game respins. You keep getting respins with at least one Wild reel until a payout hits, so every trigger feels like a little guarantee that breaks up the high variance grind.

SET THE WORLD ON FIRE Free Spins in Annihilator

SET THE WORLD ON FIRE free spins land when you hit Devil Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, or if you uncover a Scatter during the Fun Palace feature. You start with 8 spins while the Fun Palace burns behind the reels. An expanded Jeff Waters Wild is always present and walks one reel left or right after each spin, keeping the focus on stacked Wild action rather than small line hits.

As the Wild walks, it leaves a trail of fire marking between one and three positions on its path. If any Wild symbol lands on those burning spots, the entire highlighted trail turns Wild, which can fill large parts of the grid. Each extra Devil Scatter during the bonus adds two spins, up to 50 in total. When the walking Wild, fire trail, and extra spins line up, that 5,000 times stake max win feels absolutely within reach.

Annihilator Slot Verdict

After plenty of sessions, I see Annihilator as a proper high volatility band slot that rewards a bit of patience. The 96.2 percent RTP setting, 10 lines, and 5,000 times max win sit nicely with the aggressive but not insane hit profile. Base game can drag, but In Command helps, Fun Palace adds some variety, and SET THE WORLD ON FIRE is where the slot really roars, especially if you crank the volume and lean into the riffing.
