Halloween bonus features

Players who have watched Halloween (the film) before will certainly recognise what they see on the reels of the slot game. Characters like Lynda and Annie make an appearance as symbols, as does the terrifying Michael Myers. The reels are set against a background depicting a traditional American porch at dusk, adding to the creepy atmosphere.

Other symbols include items like a fearsome kitchen knife and a telephone. The symbol showing Loomis is the most lucrative, paying out 30 times the stake when five land along a payline.

Halloween also has a Wandering Reel feature. This means that groups of 3 reels spin together, with the Wandering Reel stopping in one of three positions, determining where the paylines fall. The reels contain only Jumbo Blocks, which take up multiple spots on the game screen.

Wilds

The Halloween logo acts as the Wild symbol in this game. It can substitute for all symbols except the bonus scatter.

Halloween Bonus game

The bonus game in Halloween is triggered when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear. When that happens, a Trick or Treat Wheel is activated and the player can spin the wheel to land prizes. These can be coin wins up to 10 times the initial stake, the Boogeyman Bonus or Free spins.

The Boogeyman Bonus is a pick-and-click game that lets players select leaves to turn over and reveal cash prizes with multipliers, which increase by x1 after each cash prize is found. Uncover all 10 cash bonuses to receive an additional win of 20x your initial stake. Uncovering Michael Myers will result in the player being awarded half the prize amount and the end of the feature.

Halloween Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is triggered when the player lands Annie, Loomis, Lynda or Laurie during the Trick or Treat Wheel rounds. Finding any of these characters will result in 9 free spins, with that character appearing more frequently during the spins.

The Wandering Reel will display this character only, which could mean bigger wins for the player. No further free spins can be re-triggered from within this feature.

Halloween jackpot

Halloween does not offer a progressive or local jackpot. However, it does offer a broad range of bet sizes and its medium-high variance means that high rollers and casual players can both be rewarded with significant wins.

RTP

This game has a Return to Player value of 96.01%, which is average for slot games of its type.
