Germinator

OK, Stakers fans, hold onto your seats because this is a slot machine game like no other in our collections. Germinator, developed by Microgaming, has a lot of unique features – so much so, that it doesn't even feel like a slot game! But it's a lot of fun and has interesting ways to win, so we say you should give it a shot.

The game is a square grid that has six columns and six rows. There are 12 pay lines – six from the bottom up, and six from left to right. As you can see from the pay table, you can only win horizontally or vertically. But there's more to it than that.

Icons include germs. Lots of germs. Orange and green and red and blue and yellow germs. Not only do these germs not spin on reels; not only do they not drop from the top; they come from the left at the beginning of each spin.

Once they're all settled in, you need to get three identical germs in a row, and they will explode off of the screen. They will then be replaced by the germs above them, Tetris style, which can give you additional wins.

While you're playing, you'll see a pill capsule show up attached to a germ. When the Medi Bonus meter fills up with three of these, you'll go to the Medi Bonus Round. During this round you can select one germ to wipe off the board, and all the other symbols drop down, possibly resulting in more winning combinations. The Medi Bonus Round lasts until you find no more winning combinations.

There is no wild card or progressive jackpot, and there's no scatter, either. But between the grid style, the drop downs, and the Medi Bonus, there are plenty of wins to be had.
