The symbols used are the characters from the movie namely John Connor, Arnold, Sarah Connor, T-800 and T-1000 terminator. Card symbols like A, J, Q, K are the low paying symbols. As this is an adaptation, the background score is from the movie itself.
T2 is the wild and a blue portal is the scatter here. Both are beneficial and trigger features in the base game.

Getting three scatter symbols trigger the free spins bonus feature. In this bonus feature, an addition reel is added to the 5 reels increasing the winning ways from 243 to 1024. The T-1000 character transforms into different characters and makes winning combination during the free spins.

Verdict

Similar to the movie, Terminator II slot game is also entertaining. Though it looks a bit dated as they have used only the movie stills as symbols and there are no additional video clips or animation related to the movie. The bonus features are decent and the player gets good chance to make money. Recommended for the cult movie, graphics, and the bonus features.
