I almost "cringe" when I see licensed slots machines. It's like licensing a movie to make a video game -- it's almost always generic. In the case of IGT's Munsters ... this is an original ... and a rare game which has retained popularity over a long period of time.

The Munsters slot was an innovator in many ways. Although it comes in a 9-line form ... it is also available as a 25-line machine --- very unusual in North America at that time. The game pays from left-to-right or from right-to-left. The second and forth reals contain a "bat" which is while for all symbols on that reel. The "face" symbols are worth the most. You receive a payout for just having two symbols.

The bonus round requires 5 symbols on a payline (which is an unusual trigger) ... however, this is actually easier than it sounds. The bonus round allows you to keep picking characters from a 4 x 6 grid until you have 3 the same. There is also one multiplyer (2x) mixed in.

A "scatter pay" random bonus amount is also available when 3 to 5 monsters show up on adjacent reels. This game was way ahead of it's time ... as the graphics are still decent by current standards.

Recommended for players who like their play with a little less volitility.
