Judge Dredd
Judge Dredd has been discontinued by NYX Gaming. Below is an archive review of the game.
The wombat says: I am the Law! Well, technically speaking not this wombat. I mean I haven’t got enough energy to be relentlessly hounding futuristic criminals, nor the physique come to think of it. A lycra onesie uniform won’t do me any favours what with my stumpy wombat legs and all that. No, it’s Judge Dredd who is the law, and fans of graphic novels will know who exactly what he’s all about- and that’s catching the bad guys along with our heroine in the Agent Jane Blonde slot, but that’s another story.
Judge Dredd is the law enforcer from famous UK comic book 2000AD and rules dystopian metropolis Mega City One with an iron fist.
Game Play
Judge Dredd was a 5 reel slot with 3 rows and 25 paylines. We’ve plenty of cartoon slots here at Wombat Casino with all sorts of themes from pirates (the Cannonball Bay slot) to furries (Top Cat). On this game we are talking comic classic heroes.
The four main symbols on your reels include the Judge’s sinister glove, his bad-guy busting gun, his motorbike and Dredd’s red-eyed nemesis Judge Death. The 9, 10, J, Q, K & A playing cards make up the lower value symbols. Dredd himself is the Wild in the slot and the Golden Badge is the Scatter symbol which will trigger the Free Spins Bonus.
The Superbet
Feeling lucky? Then this is the feature for you! To the right hand side of the reels you’ll find the Super Bet button. When it’s switched off in normal play, Wilds will appear only on reel 3. But, activate Superbet level 1 to orange using the switch, and Wilds will now land on reels 2, 3 or 4. This will cost you 10 extra coins per spin.
Set the SuperBet level 2 to red and your reels will really go wild! Judge Dredd symbols will now land on ALL reels, setting you back 25 coins per spin. This cheeky option really boosts your chances of bigger wins in the Free Spin game too, but more on that later…
Free Spins
Land 3x or more of the Gold Badge Scatters and you’ll get 10 Free Spins. Plus, Judge Dredd will double all your wins during this round using a x2 multiplier. Plus, the Dredd Wilds will land more frequently giving you more chances at winning combos.
This is also where SuperBet Level 2 can really help you out. With those extra wilds and the multipliers, you can really pick up some big wins.
I am The Law Bonus Extra
This reminds me of the Hitman slot– taking the law into your own hands, I mean. This extra feature is randomly triggered throughout the game. Here, Judge Dredd will appear to the left of the reels and shoot at your face – which is quite weird to be honest. But he DOES give you instant cash wins which makes up for the trauma.
Gamble Feature
If you haven’t had a heart attack after the Superbet or Dredd aiming his gun in your chops, try your hand at the Gamble button. Pick the right suit and/or colour of the face-down playing card after a win to double or quadruple your prize. Good luck!
Conclusion
The Judge Dredd slot Free Spins are where the big money can be found, but the random (and slightly aggressive) bonus game will top up your coffers until you manage to trigger it. The Superbet and Gamble options aren’t for the faint hearted and add a nice extra to the slot.
Wombat score 4/5
Loses a point for the basic graphics…
