The quick take
“What other slot says, “prepare to die!” when you spin?! Any video game nerd my age will love this game”
Is Worms Reloaded the right slot for you?
OJO’s Worms Reloaded slot is an official branded slot of the iconic Worms computer game. I think it’s probably the most playable of all the retro video game-themed slots, because there is very rarely a period without something fun happening on the reels.
Aside from the theme, the key strength of the Worms Reloaded online slot is the selection of bonus features. I say this about almost every Blueprint slot, but this one is particularly strong when it comes to both the number of different features and the variety.
Released by Blueprint Gaming in 2016, it’s a 5-reel slot with 20 fixed paylines. The Worms Reloaded min bet is 20p, though your stake is then divided by the number of lines to give you your line bet.
As we expect with all of OJO’s top mobile casino games, it’s wormtastically easy to play Worms Reloaded slot on mobile, with very few buttons required and fast, smooth gameplay even when you’re not using Wi-Fi.
Hit matching symbols on one of the 20 designated win lines, starting from the leftmost reel, to win a cash prize. Match 2 Wilds and you’ll win the smallest prize, 2 coins.
You’ll need 3 of any other symbols to trigger a prize, with prizes ranging from 4 coins for 3 x Jacks right up to 500 coins for 5 Wilds or Worms Reloaded symbols.
Hit one of the knockout bonus and randomly triggered bonus features however and you’re likely to blow standard paytable wins out of the water. And that’s before you even consider the Jackpot King Deluxe potential.
Game features
Wilds
As usual, Wilds substitute for all other symbols except scatters. Wilds appear in various forms, including Banana Bomb Wilds, Donkey Wilds, Bazooka Wilds and Standard Wilds.
Additional Free Spins can also be triggered during the feature. Every two Free Spins Symbols you land awards another two Free Spins.
Worms Grenade features
The grenade in the logo above the reels can explode at any time, randomly awarding one of these handy bonuses:
- Banana Bomb Wilds: A banana bomb explodes, distributing banana bomb wild symbols across the reels. If a worm appears and fires a bazooka, you get a respin with the banana bomb wilds remaining in position
- Holy Hand Grenade: A holy hand grenade explodes, adding bonus symbols to the reels and improving your chances of triggering the bonus.
- Teleport Mayhem: The reels stop, a worm appears and presses a teleporter causing the symbols to disappear and reappear in a winning order. This continues until the worm blows himself up!
- Concrete Donkey: A worm appears and presses a button causing Concrete Donkeys to fall, creating wild reels.
Worms Reloaded bonus
Land 3 bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger one of 4 available Worms Reloaded online slot bonus games. The bonus symbol you spin on reel 5 will reveal which of the 4 bonus games you’ll play.
- Battleground Bonus: Pick from a set of mines to reveal a multiplier, a Collect symbol or one of the other 3 bonuses. Keep picking until you hit Collect.
- Jetpack Bonus: A space-themed bonus in 2 parts, a multiplier trail and a Big Money Bonus. Start by choosing UFOs to progress along the trail, increasing the total bet multiplier. Pick a dynamite or a mine and you’ll blow up your worm and the bonus game is over. Reach the end of the trail however and you’ll enter the Big Money end game where you pick a planet to reveal a massive multiplier.
- Blitz Blast Free Spins: A game of unlimited Free Spins involving a worm tied to a missile. A fuse is lit and your Free Spins end once the missile launches. Any worm symbol on reel 5 triggers the fuse. As the fuse burns, a multiplier increases which applies to any win.
- Super Sheep Free Spins: Now you get to play 6 Worms Reloaded Free Spins in a special castle location. Up to 3 Super Sheep Wild symbols can appear, though the worm at the side of the reel might shoot ‘em down! At the end of your Free Spins, pick from 3 grenades for the chance to retrigger the bonus or collect whatever prize money you won.
Jackpot King

FAQs
Can I play the Worms Reloaded slot for free?
No Worms Reloaded demo here I’m afraid, perhaps because it’s a Jackpot King game, or perhaps not. Either way, if you want to play the Worms Reloaded UK slot, it’ll be for real money, starting from 20p per spin.
What is the Worms Reloaded RTP?
Our Worms Reloaded slot game has an RTP of 95.66%, though that’s broken down into 92.66% for the base game, 2.32% for the jackpot and 0.68% for the reserve.
Anything around 95% is roughly the average these days, but PlayOJO likes to crank up the value by giving you some of your stake back on every spin, straight to your OJOplus balance, which you can then transfer to your main balance and play, or cash out.
How does Blueprint’s Jackpot King work?
Jackpot King Deluxe adds even more juice to PlayOJO online slots, with 3 progressive jackpots up for grabs. The 2 smaller jackpots must be won by the time they reach their maximums, while the biggest can reach £100,000 or more and continues until it’s won.
The biggest jackpot here is right up there with our Mega Moolah jackpot for excitement and sheer size, except you’re eligible to win this one for just 20p bet.
This bonus is a little different when it comes to how are progressive jackpots paid. You can trigger the Jackpot King Deluxe bonus game at any point when you play Worms Reload by spinning 5 Jackpot King symbols.
In the game that follows, which is entirely separate from the Worms Reloaded game itself, you’ll spin crowns to increase your win multiplier or reach the Wheel King, where the progressive jackpots can be won. Spin the wheel to win a multiplier prize or one of the 3 progressives.
