Taking players to the Wild West, with a matching soundtrack playing in the background and a spooky old house behind the reels. Polterheist comes with a five-by-four reel set, while a total of 100 paylines will be there for punters to benefit from. The action starts as low as $0.50, while the maximum stake can go up to $50 per spin. The coin denomination ranges from $0.01 and $1, although you’ll only get to pick the total bet. Individual wins can be worth up to 2,500 times the bet – during the Free Spins round when multipliers kick in. In the Main Game, the largest available prize is set at 500 times the triggering stake.
Polterheist boasts nice visuals, and we must admit that its cartoonish graphics are very enjoyable and further help create an interesting and immersive setting. In addition to the well-designed low-paying Royals, you’ll encounter the ghostly members of the Hauntin’ gang, with each of them bringing of the special characteristics. You’re sure to have lots of fun while planning a heist with Goldie Goldrush, Eli Emerald, Pinkie Parsons, Old Blue and Oscar L’Orange. Goldie Goldrush, the gang’s leader, is also the highest-paying symbol, paying 10 times your bet for all 5 on a payline. The Haunted Dead icon serves as the Wild, with the safe being the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins round.
The Wild symbol will be appearing only on the 3 middle reels and will be able to replace other symbols on the reels, helping players form additional winning combinations. The only symbol it won’t be able to substitute for is the Scatter.
Players will benefit from the randomly activated Haunted Wilds feature, which adds more Wilds to the reels. This potentially very lucrative feature can start in both the Main Game and the Free Spins, at the start of a spin.
Another randomly activated feature is the Ghos Break-In. Once turned on, you’ll see ghosts appear on the reels, adding stacked symbols of their own. If there are other ghost symbols on the grid, they’ll turn into the triggering one, further increasing the size of any eventual win.
Landing 3 Scatters – on reels 1, 3, and 5 – will unlock the bonus round and award 8 spins. The prizes awarded during this feature can be boosted using multipliers, whose value can be 2x, 3x, or 5x. Landing more Scatters will add more spins to the count, while we should point out that there is no limit to how many spins can be won! The Haunted Wilds and the Ghost Break-In feature can be randomly triggered during the Bonus round, allowing players to scoop staggering prizes.
Polterheist is a nice-looking game, with entertaining and potentially very generous features on offer. Though nice payouts are waiting in the Main Game, it’s all about the Free Spins bonus round, where unlimited spins, fantastic multipliers and two randomly triggered features can lead to prizes of up to 2,500 times the bet on each of the spins!
