Squid Game Slot - Light & Wonder

American company Light & Wonder gives us the chance to take part in the deadly trials with the release of the Squid Game slot in March 2024. Based on the famous Korean series that aired on Netflix in 2021, the Squid Game casino game captures all the excitement, intensity and action of the hit show, complete with its iconic sets, music, characters and games.

The layout consists of 5 reels and 4 rows with 40 paylines. The RTP is 96%, although other, less favourable versions exist. While you cannot win a jackpot as large as the one in the series (45.6 billion won, or 32 million euros, for the winner), it is possible to win up to 4,560x the bet, a fairly modest max win and perhaps a nod to player 456?

Once in the base game, you are dropped into one of the show's signature settings, the stacked multicoloured staircases that lead players from the dormitory to the trials. If you want to get in on the Squid Game action, you will need to bet between 0.10 and 10 per spin. Through the various bonus features of the Squid Game slot, you get to try your luck at memorable trials such as the children's game Red Light, Green Light, the glass bridge or the tug of war.

The first challenge for players of Squid Game: One Lucky Day is to pick up regular wins through winning combinations. Line up 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Symbols such as the Wild and the Squid Game logo pay the most, with prizes between 1x and 60x the bet. Next come the Front Man, the doll, the guard and player 456, which can pay between 0.30x and 30x the bet. The sugar honeycomb biscuits are the low-value symbols, paying between 0.20x and 2x the bet in winning combinations. The Wild can substitute for any symbol except the bonus.

As the bonus symbol, the piggy bank is a Scatter: land 3 on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger one of the bonus features. The bonus symbol on the fifth reel then transforms into one of the features, which include the Red Light Green Light Bonus, the Tug of War Bonus and the Glass Bridge Bonus. Let's look at each bonus mode in detail.

Red Light Green Light Bonus
Choose to take 1, 2, 3 or 4 steps to try to reach the doll for the Jackpot bonus. If you complete your chosen number of steps, you win a bet multiplier:

- One step can pay from 1x to 10x the bet.
- Two steps can pay from 2x to 20x the bet.
- Three steps can pay between 3x and 50x the bet.
- Four steps can pay between 4x and 100x the bet.

The more steps you take, the bigger the potential reward, but the greater the risk of dying. If you fail to complete your chosen number of steps and die, the multipliers won up to that point are still awarded.

Once you reach the doll, you enter the Jackpot bonus, where you pick silhouettes until you find 3 matching guards, winning the corresponding jackpot of 4.56x the bet, 45.6x the bet, 456x the bet or 4,560x the bet. A win is guaranteed in this trial.

Glass Bridge Bonus
Choose left or right to cross the glass bridge. A wrong choice shatters the glass: you receive a bonus modifier and start the Free Spins with that special feature. Each successful decision moves you further along the glass bridge without falling, and each time you receive a bonus modifier for the Free Spins, so the aim is to stack up as many as possible.

The modifiers include:

- 1, 2 or 3 Extra Spins.
- A Falling Wild that drops one position on each spin until it disappears.
- A Walking Wild that moves to the left on each spin until it disappears.
- A Locked Wild that stays on the grid until the end.
- An additional x1 multiplier
- One low symbol removed

It is possible to stack up to 18 perks for the Free Spins. Once the Glass Bridge Bonus is over, the Free Spins can begin.

Tug of War Bonus
This is another Free Spins bonus, based on the tug of war trial. In this bonus, you always have at least one Wild Reel on the grid, and it can be pulled to the left or to the right on each spin. As it moves, it can reveal other Wild Reels, up to four per Free Spin. The spins continue until the Wild Reel is pushed off the reels, either to the left or to the right. The losing team leaves a number of Random Wilds on the screen (between 3 and 10) as it falls, which also brings the bonus to an end.

Buy Pass
There is no need to wait to get to the trials: the Buy Pass feature gives direct access to one of the bonuses for 50x the bet. If you buy this option, 3 bonus symbols are placed on the grid.

Join the Squid Game competition
The Squid Game slot does justice to the Korean series by bringing together all the elements that made it a success. Admittedly, the base game feels a little empty, but once the bonus is triggered the game picks up intensity and serves up a random trial that can lead to big rewards. This slot will certainly appeal to fans of the series as they wait patiently for the second season, which will no doubt be out soon.
