Frankenslot’s Monster Pokie Review
A fun little twist on Mary Shelley’s horror sci-fi classic, Frankenstein, Frankenslot’s Monster is a 5×3 reel video pokie by Betsoft, with 20 pay lines. The entire visual design of the game is a slightly diesel-punk reinterpretation of Frankenstein.
It looks like a humorous rework of the typical image we associate with Frankenstein, the one coming from the old Boris Karloff movies from the first half of the twentieth century. A very nice touch in the title, in my opinion, is that it is called Frankenslot’s Monster rather than Frankenstein.
In Shelley’s work, Frankenstein was the deranged doctor that decided to defy God and reanimate corpse parts, whilst his tragically famous creation had no name, and eventually came to be called Frankenstein’s monster. It was only after a while that the Frankenstein moniker came to be assigned to the monster, rather than its creator.
Developer
Betsoft Gaming is one of the better known developers in the iGaming industry, one that most players should have at least passing knowledge of, if not outright familiarity with their products. They started out as developers for iOS games, mobile platforms like the iPhone, iPhone, and iPad.
They later on branched out to start creating games for Android OS powered phones, and PCs (through web browsers). Frankenslot’s Monster clearly is a follow-up for Betsoft’s earlier very successful title, Jekyll & Dr. Hyde.
How To Play It
Frankenslot’s Monster has a control layout that follows the same traditional cues that we often see in almost all video pokies, with all control elements along the bottom of the screen. On the left side, you have settings to set coin value and line bet.
The middle part of the control bar has a display for your total bet and current winnings. The right side holds four buttons: Max Bet, Spin, Double Up, and Auto Play.
Double up lets you go double or nothing with your wins from that spin, guessing a coin toss. Auto Play opens up a menu where you can set the details of your auto play session, like number of spins, line bet, and coin value.

Special Features
This game has the usual features we see in other games, like scatter symbols and wilds. But, it also has a bit more than that, with its Bonus Game.
The Wilds work in the familiar way, acting as any symbol (except scatter and bonus symbols) on the reel to help you complete winning combinations you would otherwise be unable to complete without its presence.
Scatter symbols grant you 8 free spins once you manage to land three or more of them in a spin. During free spins, between one to three regular symbols will be replaced with wilds, making it even more likely that you’ll land more and better combinations.
The Bonus Game feature is the most unique one in this game. It is triggered by landing three Bonus symbols, one each on reels one (1), two (3) and five (5). You’ll then be able to set the voltage that you’ll deliver on the monster whilst you electrify him. Zapping him grants you with an instant cash reward.
Maximum Payouts
If you’re lucky enough to land a combination with five wild symbols, you will multiply your bet by one thousand (1000).
Summary
Frankenslot’s Monster is a very conventional game, with the sort of features that one sees in most classic pokies. Its most unique feature is simple and unassuming, so as unconventional as it may be, it doesn’t feel that out of place. The game is fun, so I do recommend it.
