4 Horsemen - Game Review

Storyline and Theme

They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:7–8 The Spinomenal's 4 Horsemen takes players on a journey of the end time, based on the popular Christian eschatology and folklore, where Death, Famine, Plague and Pestilence ride on their horses to bring an end to the earth. This visually epic game is designed for players of all ages.

Visuals and Audio Effects

In terms of graphics, audio, and animation, Spinomenal has done an excellent job in creating this mythology-based slot. The stylish artwork reminds players of the Mordor sections in The Lord of the Rings. Players will enjoy the bright animations for winning combos and an audio backdrop that includes epic music and clanking reel sounds. Visually, this slot is a real treat, offering an atmospheric and unified style.

Gameplay and Features

While 4 Horsemen's unique layout of 3-4-4-4-3 reels does add a level of complexity, the gameplay is still relatively simple. The game features cross-shaped paylines, unique random features, and wild symbols that substitute for all other symbols except the Bonus and Free Spin symbols. In the base game, the Wild symbols can be stacked on reels one and five, and landing a Free Spin symbol on reels one and five simultanously activates ten free spins and a Prize Box that offers additional free spins and multipliers.

Bonuses, Wilds and Free Spins

The Wild symbol is stacked on reels one and five in the base game and substitutes for all symbols except the Free Spin and Bonus symbols. The Free Spin bonus is unlocked by landing a Free Spin symbol on reels one and five, which triggers ten free spins and a prize box that offers multipliers and additional free spins. The Bonus symbol lands randomly, and when it appears, it pays out the number indicated on it, which is determined by the bet placed.

Betting Options, Variance and RTP

Although 4 Horsemen offers a decent range of betting options, from a minimum bet of $/£/€0.30 to a maximum of $/£/€300.00 per spin, the game is marred by an unappealing return to player (RTP) rate of just 94.50%, far lower than our average RTP of 96%. Moreover, the game's medium volatility makes it less appealing to players following slot machine strategies.

Final Verdict

Overall, 4 Horsemen is an atmospheric and well-made slot, but our review team cannot recommend it. The visuals are stylish, but the low RTP is atrocious, and the medium volatility restricts the effectiveness of slot strategies. Save your bankroll and avoid this slot, for famine, pestilence, and war are lurking on the reels.
