Creature from the Black Lagoon

The terror comes to online casinos with the Creature from the Black Lagoon slot. A slot that was launched in December 2013 and being the second game that NetEnt was launching as a result of a great collaboration with the film production company Universal Studios and for which the Universal Monsters collection was created.

The game is based on the horror film of the same name, titled, “The monster of the black lagoon” in Latin America and “The Woman and the Monster” in New Zealand. The original film about the fearsome monster of the lagoon was released in 1954, and has become a classic of fantasy and horror cinema, it would even influence the work of Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro.

Creature from the Black Lagoon takes place in the deep jungle of the Amazon, where the monster, which the explorers want to hunt down, hides in the depths of the murky waters. The graphics of the slot are of an exquisite style of the 50s, where the symbols represent the protagonists of the movie. In the background a melodious movie music from the ’50s sounds while the reels spin, until the free spins are activated or some prize falls between the rows that the music becomes nervous and fast-paced. If you like Creature from the Black Lagoon, you will definitely have to play a few rounds of some of the slot games from the Universal Monsters series, such as The Invisible Man (2014) , Dracula (2015) or The Phantom's Curse (2018).

The Creature from the Black Lagoon slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. Adjust your bet level and coin value before spinning the reels. You can place the lowest bet for $0.20 per spin and the highest bet for $100 per spin. The percentage of return to the player of the slot is 96.50% (RTP). It is a high variance slot ideal for playing with a real money slot if you like to bet hard.

The highest value group of symbols in the game, are the characters from the movie. The red symbol with Kay, the protagonist, is the one that will pay the best, for 5 of her on a payline, they will give us 750 coins. Then comes the yellow symbol with David, for 5 they will give us 600 coins, for the green one with Carl, 500 coins for 5 of this payline and finally the blue one with Lucas, the captain. The symbols with the lowest value in descending order are binoculars, the oxygen bottle for diving, a camera and a hunting knife.

As for special symbols, we have the Free Spins, which will activate the free spins bonus and the wild symbols or wilds that will have a special role in the game because they will appear frequently. They will have the feature of Sticky Wilds and will help to raise our player account. Shooting extra rounds every time they get prize.

The free spins bonus is the most exciting part of the game and where the tension skyrockets. The monster is going to kidnap and take Kay, our protagonist girl, deep into the lagoon. Our goal is going to be to save the girl from the clutches of the monster.

In order for the free spins bonus to be activated, we will need at least 3 Free Spins symbols to appear anywhere on the reels. With 3 Free Spins symbols you will get 10 free spins, while 4 symbols give 15 spins and 5 symbols will give up to 20 free spins.

To save Kay we will have to hunt the monster and we will get it by shooting it with our harpoon. In the lower left part a health meter of the creature will appear that will count the shots and that in turn these will unlock levels within the bonus.

You can shoot the monster every time a sight or target symbol appears on the fifth reel.
The creature will appear on the left and on the lower right you will see how our harpoon shoots it. The creature will take off the arrow and march. Each harpoon nailed will count to level up and improve the chances of getting a prize.

• Level 1 - We will stay in it until we get 2 peephole symbols or harpoon shots. As long as we stay at this level any Wild symbol, it will act as Sticky Wild and will remain on the reels for 1 round replay.

• Level 2 - We will pass to this level by getting 3 peephole symbols and we will stay until the fifth. The first Spreading Wild symbol, or extended wild, will be activated. Wild symbols expand horizontally 1 position to the left and remain on the reels during the repetition of a round.

• Level 3 - It is achieved with 6-8 peephole symbols. The second Spreading Wild is activated. At this level, the Wild symbols expand horizontally 1 position to the left and another to the right. They remain on the reels for one round replay.

• Level 4 - The last level. 9 peephole symbols landed trigger 10 extra free spins. During these free rounds, the wilds will still be spread in a position both to the left and to the right, but you will not be able to collect any more peephole symbols.
