Halloween

Most of us never grow up when holidays are concerned, and there is always that special aura surrounding All Hallows’ Eve. This is why we’ve seen quite a few free online slot games inspired by the spirit of the fall and the classic horror movie directed by John Carpenter in 1978.

The folks at EGT have taken upon themselves to try and make this evergreen theme fresh again and provide a new twist to it with a few really cool features to really mix things up.

Theme

This game is all about mystery and magic. The reels are crimson red, while the symbols seem to glow mystically over it. They are positioned against a backdrop that resembles a meadow in the middle of a forest.

As far as symbols go, you can expect the usual letters A, K, Q, and J, but there are also others which would belong in a horror movie. These include a black spider, a basket full of treats, bats in front of a glowing moon, a black cat, a vampire prince, and a vampire mistress.

The wild is represented by a broom and a pointy hat, while the Extra Wild comes in the form of a Jack O’Lantern. There is also the scatter which is featured as an ancient book.

We really liked the fact that all the sounds come straight out of a horror movie and really spice up the spooky atmosphere. Perhaps it’s best you don’t play this alone at night…

…in the dark!

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you start taking chances at the behest of the “Start” button, you should know your way around the game.

There are 20 paylines spread across the five reels, and we find it somewhat unusual that there are five betting options - 20, 40, 100, 200, and 400, but each option has a separate button that triggers the reel spins.

But that’s not the only unique feature of this game…

Features

Some games offer bonus features, some of them don’t, but this one really brings it home, as it has the Gamble option. For each win lower than 700, you will be greeted by this option, where you simply need to guess the colors from a deck of playing cards.

Each correct choice will double the win, but once you make a mistake you lose it all.

There’s more:
You can also score 10 free spins if you land 3 scatters anywhere on the middle three reels!

Our Take on Halloween

If you’re into horror movies, you will surely like this one, even though the theme itself doesn’t really have anything to do with the movie franchise. It is well executed, the design is embellished by animated features and it is also nice to know that the average RTP is at 96.04%.

Combine this with the bonus features, and you’re up for some rather fun times. Trick or treat?
