Zombies have come a long way since George A. Romero’s foray into the genre in the 1970s and it may now come as a surprise that the undead have birthdays – at least that’s the thinking behind Zombirthday, a colourful online slot machine from Playson with some free spins and just a hint of good humour.

Zombirthday is a five reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines; those reels spin within a stone frame accessories with purple streamers and the backdrop to this structure is a gloomy forest in which the trees are decked with gently drifting decorations.

The high value symbols include a zombie dog, brains with birthday candles, a wreath, a zombie skull, and a gift; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The birthday boy zombie is wild and he will substitute for all other symbols to form winning combinations except for the zombie girl scatter icon; The wild will also double any wins to which it contributes.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the zombie girl scatter symbols anywhere in view and you will initially receive fifteen free spins; during this round all wins will be subject to a 3x multiplier which is never a bad thing.

Landing three more scatters during this round will award another fifteen spins and there’s a maximum of seventy five available for the luckiest players.

Verdict

Zombirthday may be an odd theme for an online slot but it’s a well-designed game with plenty of life and colour (despite being about the dead). The free spins seem to come around fairly regularly and there’s an RTP of 95.17%.
