Bet365 Games In Focus: A Review Of The New Terminator 2 Video Slot

Back in the mid 2025’s a relatively unknown director by the name of James Cameron released a low budget science fiction movie. Starring ex-Bodybuilder turned actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role, The Terminator proved to be one of the unexpected smash hit films of the decade and propelled both the actor and director to super-stardom.

It was not long before clamour for a sequel grew in intensity and armed with a much larger budget after the success of the first film, Cameron and Schwarzenegger teamed up again for the 2025 sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The second film was, unusually, just as good as the original and spawned a number of sequels, however it has taken until now for the film to spawn its own video slot, but while this slot may have taken the longer route travelling through time, slot fans will agree that it has certainly been worth the wait.

As with most Microgaming slots, the presentation is the first thing that will strike you when you load up Terminator 2. Not only are the visuals stunning (almost like being in the film itself) but the soundtrack will be immediately recognisable to anybody who is a fan of the films.

And if you're wondering where you can try out this game, you can play Terminator 2 Slot at several of our top UK no deposit casinos, including Bet365 Games. If you're a new customer, you can find out more about Bet 365 no deposit casino bonuses by clicking on the link.

T2 Slot Basics

The slot is a 5x3 reel slot with 243 ways to win in the base game. You can bet from between £0.30 and £30.00 on every spin depending on your budget and there is a handy Autoplay button which you can use to set the reels in motion for 10, 25, 50 or 100 spins, a custom number of spins or until you want to stop them yourself.

Of course, the symbols themselves are a key part of the game and in the Terminator 2 Slot there is a mix of symbols. There are four low symbols on each reel and these are the four suits from a deck of cards (spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs) while the high symbols are characters from the film.

There’s Sarah Connor, her son John, the Terminator, the Terminator’s unclad skull and the villain of the piece in the T1000. A nice touch is every time a high symbol is triggered you get a sequence of action from the film related to the character and if you land the symbol five in a row, then you get a longer sequence involving that character.

That’s not all the symbols though as the game also features two additions symbols, the T2 logo acts as the in game Wild symbol, substituting for all the high and low symbols in the game, giving you the chance to land a winning payline where perhaps there wasn’t one before.

The only symbol that the T2 logo does not substitute for is the in game scatter symbol, which is the time travel orb emblazoned with the word Scatter across the front. Land two or more Scatters across the reels and you’ll win a cash prize up to 3,000 credits for landing five across the reel. However if you land three or more symbols then you’ll trigger one of the most important features of the Terminator 2 Slot, the Free Spins round.

Free Spins Round

Now on most other slots, the free spins round is simply an extension of the base game, perhaps with an added bonus or two available to enhance your chances of winning. However in the Terminator 2 slot, when you land three or more scatters, something unusual happens.

When triggered, the 5x3 reel slot that you play in the base game changes into a larger 5x4 reel slot, and the number of paylines available to you in the free spins round increases from 243 ways to win, to a huge 1024 ways to win.

What this means is that you now have almost five times as many ways to win on your 10 free spins as you have in the base game. However that is not the only positive in the players favour as during free spins the T-1000 symbol from the base game develops a new property. Just as in the film, the T-1000 has the ability to transform itself into any of the other high symbols on the reels. So if you land the T-1000 during free spins, it will transform itself into a different symbol to give you the highest possible win.

Free Spins rounds can generate big wins, although hitting five of a kind in the base game also generated generous wins for the player. However there is yet another bonus feature on the slot that gives you the chance to earn some big cash wins.

T-800 Vision Bonus

This is T-800 Vision feature and this bonus is triggered randomly throughout the game. You will know when the bonus has been triggered as the screen changes from its usual blue and black colour, into the deep red colours that are a feature of when you view the world through the eyes of the original Terminator.

During this bonus feature, every character symbol that has landed on the reels in the spin preceding the T-800 Vision feature triggering will earn you a random bonus cash award, calculated based on how much you are choosing to wager on every spin.

In addition to this, another big bonus of this feature is that if you land just one Scatter symbol on screen during the T-800 Vision bonus round, that is enough to trigger the 10 Free Spins bonus round on top of your T-800 Vision feature. Meaning that as soon as all your prizes have been awarded from the first feature, your free spins feature will start.

Having played the Terminator 2 slot for a good while, it is fair to say that this is a low to medium variance slot, but it is a slot which is as much about the experience of immersing yourself in the world of Terminator 2, as it is about winning. That’s not to say slot fans will forget about the cash on offer, not with an 88,000 credit jackpot waiting to be won.

The Terminator 2 slot may have taken a while to travel through time for release recently, but it has been worth the wait. It is an elegantly simple slot with a number of outstanding features and presentation that frankly has not been bettered in any slot game I’ve played.

We’re pretty sure that if you play the T2 slot, you’ll be saying just like Arnie – “I’ll be back!”
