Creature from the Black Lagoon Slot Review
The black-and-white opening video of Creature from the Black Lagoon shows the creature that is neither fish nor human emerging from the water and reaching out to grab you. Playing this online slot will immerse you in the retro atmosphere of the iconic 1954 movie. The concept of the game and all of the centre of the visual on the journey of scientists who find the weird prehistoric monster while travelling down the Amazon River. The crew came upon Gill-man, an amphibious river creature with large claws that resembled a humanoid. When you make a successful combination, the soundtrack becomes more dramatic in the background together with a calming song from the movie. Sometimes a statement from the movie is included with a win, such as a voice of a human saying different phrases from the film. For the slot version, NetEnt employs colour, giving this enduring cultural icon a few breaths of fresh air.

Creature from the Black Lagoon Features
Wild Symbol. During the main game, wild symbols can be shown at any place on the game field and can stand for any other symbols, but not for the Scatter and Target symbols.
Sticky Wilds. When a Wild symbol is shown on any place on the game field during any moment of the game, it becomes a Sticky Wild and remains on its location for the next Re-Spin.
Free Spins. During the feature, players can save Kay and get new Spreading Wilds. The feature starts in case 3 or more Scatters are shown on any place on the game field while playing the main game:
• 3 Scatters give 10 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters give 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters give 20 Free Spins
The only place a Target symbol can be shown during the feature is any place on the fifth reel. More Free Spins can be reached during the feature. Collect target symbols for 1 of 2 different Spreading Wilds or 10 extra Free Spins.
Health Meter. When a Target symbol shows up, the Creature moves to the right side of the screen and gets shot. The Creature's health is shown by a Health Meter in the lower right corner of the screen. As more Creature damage was received, and the next stage is reached on the Health Meter, the players receive an opportunity to access 2 extra Spreading Wilds. At level 2, the first Spreading Wild is turned on and grows by one space to the left. At level 3, the second Spreading Wild is turned on, and it grows by 1 position to the left and right.
Our Experience Playing Creature from the Black Lagoon
We did a standard test with a bet of 1 EUR per 300 spins and a pot of 200 EUR. Thanks to the Re-Spin feature with Sticky Wilds, the first 100 spins gave us a max payout of 43 times the stake. In a regular game, the maximum payout was 7 times the bet. The first 100 spins gave us 15 EUR. The next hundred spins gave us a max payout of 32 times the bet. We also landed 3 Scatters and activated 10 Free Spins. In this feature round, we got 15 times the bet. The second 100 spins gave us 10 EUR. The last hundred spins gave us a maximum of 25 times the bet. As a result of the test, we received 18 EUR.
Creature from the Black Lagoon Slot Verdict
NetEnt has effectively adapted the iconic beast-man movie for the slot machine industry. It might seem like a strange pick at first, but Universal Studios' blockbuster movie is actually a lot of fun. Don't expect huge thrills from the basic game because of the tremendous volatility, but Sticky Wilds occasionally pull off major wins there. It does not mean that when activated, free spins will give a huge reward. Most people should be somewhat familiar with the movie, and NetEnt has created a fantastic bonus game with the kidnapping/rescuing scenario. Four tiers of free spins increase the difficulty while including the finest scenes from the film. Although reaching level 3 or above might be challenging, getting the extra 10 free spins can result in a lot of sticky, expanding wild respins. Over the years, NetEnt has produced a number of branded slots, but for this excellent slot, they struck the perfect balance between the company name, the gameplay, and the potential. The finished product is still a fantastic slot machine.
