PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has released its highly infectious video slot, Zombie Outbreak.

One of the many electrifying features of Zombie Outbreak is the Expanding Wild symbol, which replaces all symbols aside from the Scatter symbol. These Wild symbols appear exclusively on reels 2 and 4, mutating into Expanding Wild symbols with three multipliers within each symbol.
The multipliers inside the Expanding Wild symbol can range from: x1 x2 x3, x2 x3 x5, x3 x5 x12, x5 x10 x15, or x10 x15 x25.

The Expanding Wild symbol remains on the reels until the end of the spin or until all three multipliers have been collected.
Players seek out the Free Spins Feature, which is triggered with three hazardous Scatter symbols appearing on screen. Once entering Free Spins, any collected multipliers stay active until the feature’s conclusion. Players have the chance to retrigger free spins.
