Best Slots to Play during 2018 Halloween Season
Staff Writer 10/08/2018 Blog No Comments 163

Halloween pre-gaming is already in the full swing and although some of the developers have decided to start early and open the season, the big guns are (hopefully) yet to be pulled. While we are waiting on the grand finale (traditionally, the week before the 31st is when aces start dropping from the sleeves), there are quite a few adequately themed slots to keep us busy.

Although you can always revisit some of the classic releases such as Happy Halloween by Play’n GO or branded Halloween slot by Microgaming, we are always in favour of trying something new – after all, your next favourite slot and big wins could be just around the corner.

Pumpkin Bonanza – Playtech

Let’s start with the official emblem of the season, his majesty, the jack-o’-lantern. Playtech’s Pumpkin Bonanza is all about the most distinctive representatives of Halloween and the slot’s higher value symbols come in a form of Witches and a Scarecrow. As expected, the pumpkin is Wild, replacing all other icons to create a valid winning combination. The Wild icon in this slot has a somewhat limited landing range and can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. Any winning combo that can be formed left to right and right to left will result in symbol modification – low-value Spades and Hearts will be transformed into Pumpkin Wild on the middle reel, increasing the odds of hitting a higher payout.

Landing a win that’s payable both ways will trigger the Bonanza Spin, during which all symbols on reels 2-4 that are a part of the winning combo turn into Pumpkin Wilds for a chance of big wins.

With $0.10 – $500 betting range on 10 fixed paylines, Pumpkin Bonanza carries a great payout potential for all those who are ready to press the bets. The volatility is somewhere in between medium and high, and given that the total payout reaches x2,000 one’s bet, it seems that the slot may just be worthy of its name. Play Pumpkin Bonanza at VideoSlots!

Wolf Hunters – Yggdrasil

Wolf Hunters is a classic horror release with medium to high volatility and a 96.3% RTP. Looking at the concept, it seems that Yggdrasil wanted to do everything by the book and use the classic Gothic formula drawn from Christian demonology. The slot starts with a story intro that takes the players into a remote medieval village, terrorised by a Werewolf – the prelude video sets the mood and the players start their adventure with 100 Rage Meter points which, once they reach a certain level, can activate the Free Spins.

Played on 5×3 reel grid with 20 fixed paylines and delivering a payout potential of 3,000x player’s stake, Wolf Hunters is definitely a game you should squeeze on your to-do list. Apart from an exciting theme, the slot also offers a set of engaging Free Spins bonuses which come in three different modes – Regular, Hunter and Free. The Werewolf is the highest value icon and every time it lands on the reels, the Hunter icons will fight him, adding points to the Rage Meter if the beast is defeated or getting a serious scratch in the process. Play Wolf Hunters at LeoVegas!

Suicide Squad – Playtech

Although the movie is old news, the slot was definitely overdue but still on time for the 2018 Halloween, amidst all the rumours about Suicide Squad 2. The slot itself is one of Playtech’s DC Comic editions, played on 50 paylines and featuring all of our favourite characters: Harley, Deadshot, Katana, The Joker, and El Diablo, each landing on the reels partially or as fully stacked icons.

The characters also act as Wild icons and once they land in full view, Dog Tag icons will be added to the reel, substituting all of the Squad Member icons. The number of Dog Tags will depend on the symbol – Katana brings 2 Dog Tag Wilds, Deadshot and Harley are worth 4 of these symbols, while The Joker will deliver 3 of them.

Landing the Enchantress on the reels will trigger the Enchantress mode, during which 4 Wilds will be added, all of the Squad Members will turn into Enchantress Wild and all payouts will be doubled. Since there are 4 progressive Jackpots (Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini), the winning potential of Suicide Squad can be quite impressive, while the base game can produce 2,500 coins win in a single spin. Play Suicide Squad at Eurogrand!

Ark of Mystery – Quickspin

The curse of the mummy will never fully go out of style and Quickspin decided to remind us what fate will befall those who dare to disturb the pharaoh’s tomb. Offering a max payout of 6,509x one’s stake, Ark of Mystery is a medium volatility slot with a 96.5% RTP, which will certainly sit well with a lot of players.

The Wild Arc icons land on reel 2 – 4, unlocking the Wild Ark feature, during which all of the icons lock into place for a respin. Up to 6 respins can be awarded and at the beginning of every new round, the Wild Ark icons will be mirrored onto one of the connecting reel positions.
The multiplier Booster feature appears on the reel 5; each of these icons will increase the multiplier value by x1 and x21 Booster symbols can be earned in a row. Play Arc of Mystery at Mr Green!

Tales of Darkness – Novomatic

Halloween without vampires would be a sad affair, but fortunately, Novomatic had the sense to think ahead, launching Tale of Darkness earlier this year. The slot is played on a 6×4 grid with 10 betways, producing a payout of 10,000 coins for the 6 Scatters combo and delivering a high variance gameplay, which will definitely increase the excitement levels.
A session of 10 Free Spins is activated when at least 3 Scatters land on the reels, unlocking the Lunar Eclipse Bonus. Before the feature is initiated, one of the icons will be selected to act as a Wild symbol and stack up across the reels. The icon will only land on reels 2 and 5, expanding horizontally and producing both-ways win paylines. Play Tales of Darkness at Energy Casino!
