The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Slot by Playtech

The reels sit in a riveted steel cage against a fog-choked city skyline, a wall of grey walkers pressed in below and CRM helicopters drifting across the haze. Rick, Michonne and Thorne stand down the left edge, and each one runs a completely different bonus. Reaching any of them works four ways: three or more Helicopters pick one at random, a character's coloured Coin can set off their own feature, coins keep stacking on that character's Meter until it fills, and three Scatters fire one of the three at random. Same three bonuses, four separate doors in.

Rick's Escape is a jackpot pick. You turn over zombies one at a time, each hiding Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at 200x or Grand at 2,000x, and keep flipping until three matching labels show. That tier is what you win. The Grand at 2,000x is the top prize on the game and the only route to it. Michonne's Journey is the free-games round, but its shape is randomised: a run of 6, 8 or 10 spins on an expanded grid of either 1,024 or 3,125 ways. Her green Coins carry a +1 stamp, and every one that lands tacks an extra spin onto the count.

Thorne's Hunt is the odd one. You get a single shot through a sniper scope, and it drops one random reward: a cash prize somewhere between 5x and 120x, or Michonne's Journey or Rick's Escape handed over outright and played on the spot. So Thorne doubles as a back way into the other two.

Symbols are survival props, a flaming katana, a blue-hilted broadsword, a lit lighter, a phone with a scrawled sketch, the black CRM helicopter, over card royals stencilled onto mossy cracked concrete. There's no buy button anywhere in this licensed AMC tie-in. Every feature has to be woken up in play, and it runs hot and cold, so the base game can spin for a long stretch before a Helicopter or a filled Meter finally cracks one open.
