Lost Vegas slot gaming information

Lost Vegas is a 243 ways slot game where instead of fixed pay lines and win patterns, there are a total of 243 different winning combinations in play each spin. The number of ways to win is calculated by multiplying the three positions on each reel to the power of five (the number of reels). So, 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243. This means that every possible winning combo, running from left to right and on adjacent reels, is active for a potential payout.

The main feature in the Lost Vegas slot game is a dual gameplay mode that allows you to switch between Zombies and Survivors at any time.

Select Survivors mode to play with free spins and a ‘Stash’ feature, or select Zombies mode for the chance to score free spins and an ‘Infection’ bonus. Switch sides in the base game after any spin to alter the free spins and bonus features. Your base game icons will also change according to the gameplay mode you choose.

The Lost Vegas slot game symbols for Survivors mode are:

• Bio-hazard symbol (scatter)
• Lost Vegas wild symbol (wild)
• Man with bat (Zombie mode = Elvis Presley zombie)
• Woman with fire (Zombie mode = zombie with hat and camera)
• Man with gun (Zombie mode = zombie nurse with needle)
• Woman with bat (Zombie mode = blue angel zombie)
• Man with golf club (Zombie mode = man and woman zombie couple)
• The A, K, Q, J and 10 royal symbols

The game also boasts an autoplay feature that allows players to let the reels spin automatically until a specified number of spins have been completed or until a certain win amount has been reached. Check out the pay table to the side of the game for a complete rundown of symbol payouts and rules.

Lost Vegas bonus features

Microgaming has packed this zombie-themed game with some epic bonuses, essentially making it a two-in-one title with the dual gameplay modes. Both options are loaded with special symbols and features, including a few that are specific to each mode.

Lost Vegas wild: This symbol substitutes for all other symbols, except the scatter icon, to create or extend winning combinations.

Scatter symbol: Land three or more scatter symbols anywhere across the reels in either Survivors or Zombies mode to trigger the free spins bonus round. Scatter wins are multiplied by your total bet staked, are added to ways wins and pay in any position on the reels.

Two-in-one free spins bonus features:

In Survivors mode – free spins with Stash feature: During this feature, all the 10, J, Q, K and A icons that land on the reels are removed and replaced with cash amounts. The cash amounts are added to your stash and paid out in full at the end of the round. New symbols then replace the cash amounts, with the royal symbols continuing to be replaced with cash, until you have used up all 25 of your royals. Regular winning combinations also pay out throughout the free spins feature.

In Zombies mode – free spins with Infection feature: Full zombie stacked symbols infect the reel they land on, turning single wild icons (when they appear) into stacked wilds and allowing for some huge wins. The free spins will continue until all reels have been infected. Up to 50 free spins can be played. If you manage to survive all 50 spins by keeping at least one reel uninfected, you will earn yourself a special bonus prize.

Blackout Bonus: Triggered randomly on non-winning spins in both the Zombies and Survivors gameplay modes, the Blackout feature awards cash prizes for all high-paying symbols (the character icons) that land on the reels. When this feature is in action, you only require one scatter symbol to trigger the free spins bonus round.

Zombie Fist of Cash: Randomly triggered in either play mode during the base game, this feature can award instant cash prizes after any non-winning spin.
