Crop Of The Day (Octoplay) Slot Demo & Review

There goes my appetite—I get comfortable, ready to write my latest slot review before dinner is served, and I’m met with a farmer-turned-zombie munching on several brains when I power up the slot assigned to me. Actually, I’m exaggerating, as it’s not that bad. The Crop of the Dead slot is done in a humorous animated style, rather than the Walking Dead gore fest you might be thinking of. So, what does Octoplay’s latest slot offer aside from a brain-hungry former farmer? To start with, it is a scatter pays slot that’s played across a 5×6 reel configuration with a 95.70% RTP and a 10,000x maximum win.

Unsurprisingly, considering the slot’s theme, there is brain munching that goes on as you spin away on the Crop of the Dead slot. However, you’re potentially rewarded for it, as each time the zombie eats a brain symbol, it turns into a 5x multiplier. Those values can stack up to as high as 50x and will apply to any wins completed on top of them. As for the free spins bonus, this plays similarly to base game spins, but the multipliers remain on the reels until the end of the bonus. Players can also choose to use a Double Chance feature to increase the chances of triggering the free spins or just buy it outright via a bonus buy feature.

I’ll take you through all the bonus features of this slot in more detail below, but if you’re itching to play this slot yourself, you can enjoy the Crop of the Dead slot demo below.

Crop Of The Dead Slot Paytable

For whatever reason, the Zombie theme, at least concerning slot games, has not taken off as you might have expected. Zombie movies and video games always prove popular, but for some reason, the theme is rarely used for slot games. There have been exceptions, of course, such as the Walking Dead slot and, more recently, the excellent Zombie aPOPalypse from AvatarUX, which are both worth some game time when you have a few minutes to spare.

Getting back on track, in today’s review, we’re focusing on the payout symbols next on the reels of Crop of the Dead, and it would seem that the zombie farmer is infecting the crops he has been biting, as various vegetables are now zombified. In terms of rewards, the Tomato with a return of 75x for a 15+ combination is the best single payout you can aim for. The Onion is next, with up to 37.5x up for grabs, and the Turnip can reward up to 25x. The Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Green low-pay symbols complete the pay section return 16x, 8x, 4.5x, 3x, and 2.4x, respectively.

Last of all in this section, we end with the staking options that can be placed on Crop of the Dead. These start from a minimum of €0.10 a spin with a good selection of bets then available before you run into the maximum price per play of €100.


Crop Of The Dead Slot Base Game

There is a scatter pays mechanic in play on the Crop of the Dead slot that calculates wins when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere in view across the slot’s 5 reels and 6 rows. After a winning combination is paid, the symbols involved disappear and more drop in from above, giving extra chances to win from just one paid spin.


Zombie Multipliers

The Zombie Farmer sits directly above the reels, and whenever Brain symbols land on the reels, he does what any true zombie does and springs into action to gobble it up. When this happens, 5x multiplier symbols are left in the vacated positions. These apply to any winning combinations that occur on top of them. If a multiplier symbol lands on top of another, those values are added up to a maximum of 50x.


Double Chance

For 40% on top of your current bet, you can spin with double the chance to trigger the free spins bonus. To activate this feature, just hit the switch to the left of the reels.


Crop Of The Dead Slot Bonus Features

Crop Of The Dead Slot Free Spins Feature

The brain-eating madness continues on Crop of the Ded in a free spins bonus that triggers when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during a base game spin.


Free Spins Feature

Three triggering scatter symbols give you 10 free spins, and you’ll get another five up to a maximum of 25 for each additional scatter that lands on the same spin. That also applies to re-triggers during the bonus.

The difference between the bonus and the base game is that the multiplier symbols left behind by the zombie will remain sticky on the reels for the duration of the bonus. Also, there is a chance the Zombie Snacks feature will trigger during the spins. This adds up to 5 brains to the reels for the zombie to eat.


Bonus Buy

If you’d rather enjoy higher risk and reward when playing the Crop of the Dead slot, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. It allows you to purchase the free spins bonus game for 150x your current stake.


Pros

  • Octoplay slots generally offer lots of colour and vibrant graphics.
  • Sticky multipliers in the bonus round.

Cons

  • 95.70% is slightly below the average RTP for online slot games.
