About this Slot
Pandemic Rising is a horror-themed animal slot from Pragmatic Play with an RTP of 96.51%, high volatility and a maximum win of 14,000x. The game uses 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines.
Wild symbols land on the middle three reels only, each carrying a multiplier between x1 and x10. When multiple wilds land in combination, their multipliers add together.
The scatter symbol triggers the free spins round when three or more land, awarding 8 free spins and a 2x payout multiplier. During free spins, wilds stick in place until the round ends. Virus symbols power a rising multiplier that starts at x1, increasing one level for every 3 Virus symbols collected. This multiplier reaches a maximum of x100. Each time the multiplier increases by one level, the player receives one additional free spin.
The Ante Bet option costs 4x the bet and modifies play in the base game. Super Spin costs 10x the bet. Buy Free Spins costs 100x the bet and triggers the free spins round immediately. Buy Super Free Spins costs 500x the bet, also triggering free spins but with guaranteed enhancements. Both feature buy options guarantee two wilds at the start of the round, each carrying a random multiplier value.
