The wombat says: Celebrate the creep fest that is Halloween every day of the year Wombat Fans, with this release from 1×2 Gaming. Gruesome ghosts, sinister skulls and vampire bats await players brave enough to spin these scary reels in the Halloween Horrors slot.
But will this game be a trick or a treat? Grab your pumpkin and let’s start tumblin’.
Look and Feel
Scary organs, evil cackling laughter and spooky music make up the Halloween soundtrack to this cool game. It’s long way from traditional fruities like the Jackpot Jester slot and Fruit Fiesta. And this wombat loves the bloodcurdling backdrop to the reels, too, which include a spooky 3D graveyard with a silhouetted witch on her broomstick, plus bats hanging upside down from the trees
We also like the cheeky text box underneath the reels (that comes as standard with 1×2 Gaming slots) dishing out creepy comments as you spin including: ‘Don’t make a grave mistake’ ‘Mwaah ha ha ha haaaa’ and ‘The Ghost of Big Wins past awaits’. Top marks for the graphics and design!
Game Play
Halloween Horrors slot has 5 reels with 3 rows and 35 pay-lines- so more traditional than games like the Wild Catch slot with its 243 Ways to Win. Your symbols on the reels are made up of a bunch of spine-chilling icons and include a vicious-looking black cat, a red-eyed vampire bat, a malevolent ghost, a witch’s hat, a scary-ass tree trunk and a green-faced zombie. These make up your high value symbols, while the J, Q, K and A represent the lower values – all done up in green slime.
The pumpkin that grins at you in a sinister fashion is Wild in this game, and it will substitute for all others symbols (except for the Scatters) on the reels to help you land extra winning combos. And speaking of which, the Scatters are represented the Skull symbol.
35 pay-lines isn’t quite up there with the Extra Cash slot. but it’s still comfortably up there as a bigger game.
Halloween Horror Free Spins
Land 3x or more of the Skull Scatters across the reels and you’ll trigger off the Free Spins round (by the way, when you do, the Skull will pop out at you and shout ‘Scatter’… ) The actual number of spins you’ll get depends on how many Scatters you landed in the first place. So:
-3x Skulls = 5 free spin
-4x Skulls = 10 free spin
-5x Skulls = 15 free spins
But that’s not all my friends! Any wins you land during this feature will be doubled thanks to a x2 multiplier, you can set off the Free Spins again by landing the Skull Scatters once more, AND then there’s a cheeky Headstone feature, too! More on that below…
Headstone Bonus
Keep your eyes peeled for the creepy headstone, if you land 2x or more them anywhere in view you’ll scoop an instant cash payout to the tune of 2x headstones for a 7x stake, 3x headstones for a 30x stake, 4x headstones for a 100x stake and 5x headstones for a truly whopping 200x your stake!
Conclusion
Halloween Horrors features some great design really captures the creepy atmosphere, plus the Free Spins really do trigger all the time. But, to make this a truly excellent slot, we would really have liked another bonus game. Still, if nice-looking low variance games are your thing, then you can do a lot worse than this creepy release from 1×2 Gaming.
