The Invisible Man

In working partnership with Universal Studios, the Swedish game developer NetEnt launched the branded video slot The Invisible Man in December 2014. The slot is another well-designed game and is based on the 1933 classic film which is inspired by the science fiction novel by H.G. Well’s. The game immerses you into a good representation of that film and a small town that is in the grip of fear from a scientist who has gone mad from the drug he used to turn himself invisible. He will stop at nothing to be able to restore himself back to normal.

The Invisible Man is a 5-reel, 3-row, 20-line (fixed) win-both-ways video slot. The game includes features such as Re-Spins, Free Spins, Wild substitutions, Walking Wilds and 2 Bonus Features. So why not join in the hunt for The Invisible Man and you might just hit the jackpot prize of 200,000 coins.

How to play The Invisible Man Video Slot

As this online slot first loads you are treated to a short animated video giving you an intro of the game. You see the mad scientist injecting himself with his formula and turning invisible for the first time. This is all done in a 1933 style that really does set the tone of the game. Next, you see a splash screen that gives you an overview of the key features of this video slot. You can disable both these intros to the game in the settings so that you do not have to view them every time you play.

Now before you go on the hunt for The Invisible Man, it’s best to set your cost per spin. Always make sure you set this to a value you are comfortable with. You can set these by using the ‘Bet Level’ and ‘Coin Value’ buttons towards the bottom of the game screen. This particular slot has 6 coin levels which are 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.50 alongside 10 bet levels. Using these options, the minimum cost to spin the reels is 20p and the maximum is £100.

The game screen itself is suitably designed to reflect the era that the film of the same name was set in and the reels sit on a backdrop of the mad scientist’s laboratory. The game reels have a lot of symbols that include the standard card symbols being 10, J, Q, K and A. Alongside these, you have five different game characters and Police Wilds and Griffin (The Invisible Man) Wilds.

To spin the reels, select the bubbling green button with the rotating arrows which is located in the middle of the bottom part of the game screen. Next to the spin button you also have a ‘Max Bet’ button and an ‘Auto Play’ button. Clicking Max Bet will initiate a spin at level 10 based on your current coin value. Using Auto Play gives you the option to have the game spin the reels between 10 and 1,000 times automatically.

As you play The Invisible Man Online Slot you will instantly notice the quality of the gameplay, from the top notch graphics, the background sounds to increase tension and the sound snippets of the Invisible Man that emerge every now and again. You will be spinning the reels and looking for the Police Wild or Griffin Wild symbols to appear on either reel 1 or reel 5 respectively.

When one of these appears they will then slowly move from one side of the game screen to the other, one reel at a time for each re-spin. Each time they do this they will substitute for other symbols to create wins. One of the unique features with this lot is that you can win from the left or the right side on any payline.

If at any time both Wild symbols appear and then as they move across the game screen, merge together, this will activate 10 free spins. If this happens again during the free spins you will get a further 4 free spins. Also, during the free spins, the Wild symbols can now appear on ‘any’ reel.

The free spins include other features too. You will see two bars each appear with 8 sections. One is for a Bonus Game and the other for a Police Spins feature. As the Police Wilds or Griffin Wilds appear during the free spins, as they move off a reel the corresponding bar will fill up. Any full bar at the end of the free spins will activate that extra feature.

With the Police Spins feature, you will get a further 3 free spins where 5 randomly placed wilds will appear on the reels. In the Griffin’s Rage Bonus Game, you are presented with 3 different locations from the town and select symbols to reveal one of 5 prizes. You can select coin values and multipliers up to x4. However, don’t pick a Police Hat as this will end that stage.

The Invisible Man Video Slot Tips

At the bottom left of the game screen, there are several options including a question mark, auto button, settings and volume control. The question mark gives you fairly in-depth information about the game including rules and game functions. The settings allow you to set your spacebar on a PC as the action for activating a spin. You can also remove the intro screens.

You will also see a small ‘i’ symbol in a green circle. This opens up a menu detailing how the game works. Here you can learn how to make the best combinations and get an idea of how the special features work.

If you have never played The Invisible Man by NetEnt before then why not give it a try in demo mode first? This gives you the opportunity to experience the gameplay and features without having to use real cash. Then when you are confident with the game you can switch to real cash mode at any time.

Is The Invisible Man the right video slot for you?

The Invisible Man Video Slot has a theoretical RTP (return to player) of 96.4% giving a house edge of 3.6%. This is an average RTP and you can get higher with other NetEnt slots such as Hook’s Heroes. We tested the game over 100 spins at a cost per spin of £1 and we were able to turn over our £100 and have an enjoyable game and end up +£5.95.

Now, this may not seem a lot but we managed to get the Wilds appearing on the screen regularly and as they move from reel to reel the re-spins do not cost you anything. Therefore, the gameplay lasted far longer. We also had the wilds merger twice giving 10 free spins each time. We also got the extra four free spins on one occasion as well.

Although we had a few dry spells with the longest being 14 spins without a win, once the Free Spins feature kicked in the cash started to roll in quite nicely. This is a low variance game and based on our 100 spins would be a good video slot to consider when wagering through a free casino bonus.
