Pipezillas Slot
While many video slots adapt famous characters or universes to fit within their frame, once in a while some very original content pops up on our radar.
Pipezillas is one of those slot UFOs, a one-of-a-kind game with a unique premise and characters. And a storyline that involves stealing parking metres.
Now that we probably have your full attention, let’s dive deeper into the quirky universe of Pipezillas.
A Visit into the Underground World
Pipezillas takes place in an anonymous city plagued by an invasion of parking monsters, nocturnal creatures that creep out from the sewers at night only to steal parking metres from the city streets.
As such, the game takes place in their underground lair. The place is crowded with various items stolen from the surface world, and gives off a fun, cartoonish themed vibe. One of the monsters, a green hybrid creature half-dinosaur half-octopus wearing yellow overalls, watches over the reels with a big smile on its face and cheers every victory.
The reels themselves do not spin but instead appear as multiple CCTV monitors where other parking monsters pop in and out. Be warned: Pipezillas is going to challenge your preconceptions of what a slot game should be! And it is a refreshing, fun creation from a visual point of view.
Making Sense of It All
Well we would not know exactly how to justify the existence of parking metre-stealing green sewer monsters, but at the very least we can try to decode the gameplay of Pipezillas.
This new slot game is played on 5 reels, with 20 paylines across them in total. Most commands are located right below the reels, and you can use them to select the number of paylines you wish to activate as well as the amount of your bet per payline. Click on the appropriate (+) and (-) arrows to do so, or use the colourful tabs on each sides of the screens to add or remove paylines. The Bet Max toggle will activate all paylines and launch a spin at once. Otherwise, use the green Spin button and cross your fingers. Try the Gamble feature after a winning spin if you feel lucky: guessing correctly the colour of a hidden card will double your wager, and guessing its suit will quadruple it. But be careful, as a single mistake will make it all disappear forever.
In a hurry? Turn on the Turbo mode to speed up the spins and go straight to the point. You can also activate the Auto mode and choose how many spins in a row you would like to bet on.
Meet the Creatures
There are 12 different basic symbols in Pipezillas, all of which representing a different parking monster in all its cuteness.
The adorable little creatures come in all shapes, sizes and colours. Some look happy, other frightened, angry, sad and so on. There are a lot of them, and differentiating them can be a tough task to be honest.
However, strength is in numbers and 12 symbols give you many possibilities to form winning combinations across the game screen and win big. Besides, all combinations begin with only two identical creatures on an active payline!
The Three Specials
As if 12 symbols were not enough, three extra creatures in Pipezillas require our attentions.
The Scatter symbol is a flaming red creature that triggers Free Spins regardless of its position on the reels. Three Scatters award five Free Spins, four trigger ten and a long combo of five Scatters gives you 15 Free Spins! Which can be simply retriggered as many times as a new Scatter combo shows up.
The Wild card is a goofy-looking green monster. It can replace any of the 12 basic symbols to create or extent a winning combination. When it appears on the 3rd real, it changes into a Mega Wild Bonus that covers the whole reel and offers three times as many chances to trigger an extra cash prize.
Finally, the Bonus symbol is a blue vampire-like creature. Three or more of them on an active payline trigger the Pipezillas Race Bonus game. Choose your favourite monster and watch him travel down the pipes before you pick up the corresponding reward.
Goofy Fun and Big Wins
Pipezillas is undeniably an original and fun slot game to play. Its universe is quite unique and endearing, especially the little sewer monsters.
On the other hand, the abundance of quasi-identical symbols makes it hard to tell them apart in the heat of the game and a quirky slot like this won't satisfy hardcore players from live dealer casinos. But Pipezillas is overall a good-quality, entertaining creation that should seduce many a regular slot player.
