Propaganda 2

Propaganda 2 Slot Review

A graffiti-covered street at dusk, surveillance cameras watching your every move, and rows of figures in crimson hoods watching from behind chain-link fencing.

Where the first game leaned bleak, the uprising Propaganda 2 runs in sunset pinks and creeping plant life – a glimpse that a better world for the LA-11-1 society is on its way.

ELK Studios have built a sequel that feels genuinely more hopeful than its predecessor. It runs at 96% RTP in its default setting, though operators can go as low as 87%, with medium-high volatility, a 23.2% hit frequency and a 25,000x max win ceiling. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100 per spin.

The LA-11-1 society has grown since the first game, and so has the maths.

Base Game & Features

The base game runs on a cluster pays setup, with wins formed by matching groups of five symbols or more. Eight symbols make up the paytable, including gloves, walkie talkies, winged hearts, bombs, and flowers.

It also runs with cascades and a global multiplier, which applies to all winning clusters. Each winning symbol increases the global multiplier by 1, resetting between base game spins.

Wild Strike

The Wild Strike feature drops a random number, usually 2-5, of Wild symbols onto the grid at random, substituting for payout symbols to complete clusters.

It then also become a Wild symbol itself.

Love Bomb

The Love Bomb can trigger during any base game or bonus drop.

Energy attached to feature symbols is added to the Love Bomb meter, kept between rounds. When triggered, the Love Bomb activates all feature symbols during that base game round or bonus drop.

Heart Feature

The Heart feature triggers when a Heart symbol is next to a winning cluster.

When winning symbols are removed and refilled with cascades, one or more paying symbols are randomly selected and transformed into one pay symbol, with the Heart also transforming into the same symbol.

The Drop

Collecting six masks triggers The Drop Bonus, with regular paying symbols, Wilds, Collect symbols, and Upgrade symbols, with three retriggerable spins awarded:

• Upgrade changes all pay symbols to a higher-paying symbol.
• Collects choose a random symbol area on the grid, fathering them into a single cluster, and then becomes that symbol.
• Wilds add their multiplier value to the respective cluster

Landing one or more of these symbols resets the spin counter to three, with the total value of cluster wins paid when the feature ends on the last spin.

It’s a condensed, retriggerable three-spin Hold & Win experience that runs as an alternative version of the game’s main features.

Propaganda 2 Bonus Game, Super Bonus and X-iter

Bonus Game

Landing a trio of Bonus symbols triggers the Bonus game, where the global multiplier is persistent: it builds and holds for the duration rather than resetting between spins.

In the Bonus, the Add Bonus Drop symbols awards an extra spin.

Super Bonus

If one of the triggering Bonus symbols is a Super Bonus symbol, the Super Bonus fires instead.

The Love Bomb feature is active on every single spin of the Super Bonus, with all feature symbols lighting up throughout.

X-iter Bonus Buys

X-iter is ELK’s buy menu, and it offers five feature buys:

• Bonus Hunt – 2.5x bet, more than three times the chance of triggering the bonus
• Mega Hunt – 10x bet, greater than ten times the chance of triggering the bonus
• Love Bomb – 25x bet, activates all features
• Bonus – 100x bet
• Super Bonus – 500x bet

Our Honest Verdict

Our Rating: 8.5/10

Everyone knows that ELK Studios are suckers for a sequel, and Propaganda 2 is a more heartwarming take on the dystopian theme, building on the groundwork laid out in the first Propaganda. The high energy and hopefulness is reflected in the gameplay, which is significantly upgraded from the original.

At its core, Propaganda 2 still playing with its tried-and-tested combination of cluster wins, cascades, and multipliers, with extra firepower in the form of Love Bombs, Wild Strikes, and the Heart Feature, The Free Spins is naturally the best way to build wins, through cascades, clusters, and the global multiplier sticking between spins.

The new Drop Bonus adds an extra reward for players who stick around long enough to stack masks, offering a Hold&Win alternative experience to the game’s main features, with a sense of progression and satisfaction when all six masks are collected to trigger it. Naturally the X-iter menu is stacked with options for players in appropriate jurisdictions who want to skip ahead of the grind and get straight into the Bonus, Super Bonus, or increase their chances of landing it.

Fans of energetic cluster pays will get on with Propaganda 2 immediately, and anyone following the LA-11-1 story gets a real next chapter rather than a repaint, with a boosted 25,000x max win cap for good measure. It sends out a positive message that love and hope can conquer all, if you’re brave enough.
