Get Ready For All Hallows’ Eve With Halloween Themed Slots

Halloween is a celebration of all things ghoulish, ghostly and downright ghastly. Taking place on October 31, Halloween was traditionally dedicated to remembering dead saints, martyrs and the faithfully departed. These days, however, you’re more likely to see kids in your neighbourhood dressed up in creepy costumes going door to door playing trick or treat.

Here at CasinoEuro, we’re more excited by the prospect of all the new Halloween inspired slots being released than sweets – but to be honest, we’ll eat them if we have to. Read on to discover our favourite Halloween games, both new and all-time favourites, that you can play this All Hallows’ Eve.

Pumpkin Smash

Developed by the highly reputable Yggdrasil Gaming, Pumpkin Smash is a spooky Day of the Dead inspired slot that features five reels and 20 paylines. Dripping with an eerie yet at the same time very festive vibe, this game is all about smashing pumpkins and getting the bonus symbols. Expect bright colours and fun sound effects as you play. Pumpkin Smash comes complete with symbols such as the high paying pumpkin sugar skulls, four low paying card suits and a wild symbol that replaces all other symbols (except the bonus symbol).

Hit two or more bonus symbols to trigger the Pumpkin Smash bonus feature. This feature applies to both the base game and free spin mode. In the base game feature, you must smash as many pumpkins as possible. From there you can win up to 30 Free Spins, cash prizes up to 375x your stake and multipliers up to 7x on single symbols for one spin. One to five bonus symbols in Free Spins mode will trigger another Pumpkin Smash bonus feature. Here you’ll have to smash between one and five pumpkins. If you do manage to hit them, you can look forward to even more free spins, more symbol multipliers, or even bigger cash rewards.

Fortunes of the Dead

Fortunes of the Dead is another Latin American Day of the Dead/Halloween themed slot that delights with a distinctly celebratory ambiance, layered with some creepy graphics and a dark blue and grey background to create an extra unnerving atmosphere. With five reels and 50 paylines, Fortunes of the Dead offers up plenty of chances for you to claim the major prize. When playing this spooky slot you’ll be treated to a number of themed symbols, including skull candles, golden medallions, cauldrons and a few skeletons that look like they’re ready for an undead fiesta.

The one hombre you want to keep your eyes peeled for though is the matador skeleton. This fellow is the wild symbol and he’ll give you 10 times your stake for five on a payline – if you’re lucky.

The bonuses in Fortunes of the Dead are exciting to say the least. For the biggest wins, you’ll want to try and target the two primary bonus offerings. The Once In A Wild bonus is the first. This is where you can get a free re-spin with four wilds added to the reels. The second bonus is the Skull Bonus feature, which allows you to pick from the three high-paying skulls to win a cash prize. If you do manage to set off the Once In A Wild and Skull Bonus feature at the same time, you’ll be able to maximise your winning potential. Land three scatter symbols on the middle reels and you’ll also receive five free spins, where each free spin adds a sticky wild to the reels.

Halloween™

Based on the 1978 blockbuster film directed by John Carpenter, Halloween™ is a 5-reel, 50 payline online slot with a sinister vibe and some epically unnerving bonuses. Play for your chance to trigger the free spins feature, stake multipliers, jumbo blocks and wandering reels that make this game so uniquely terrifying. The Halloween™ movie slot is a truly authentic, inspiring slot that offers more than just cheap slasher movie thrills. All of the paying symbols reflect characters and items from the original Halloween movie, such as masks, knitting needles and wool, matches, knives, guns, telephones and of course, Annie, Loomis, Lynda and Laurie.

Oh, and the wild symbol is the Halloween logo.

First off we have the Wandering Reel bonus, which groups three reels together. One reel will then grind to a halt randomly. The stopped reel then determines the amount of paylines and the reel that’s played. The Wandering Reel features Jumbo Blocks, which are large symbols that can cover all the positions on the grouped reels as they land. The second bonus is the Trick or Treat Wheel, which is triggered by landing three or more scatters. Only once three or more of these scatters have dropped will you be able to access a giant spinning wheel, which awards payouts of up to 10x your stake. If the wheel lands on the Bogeyman symbol, the Bogeyman Bonus will start.

The Bogeyman Bonus is a minigame where you must pick from a number of leaves to uncover cash prizes with a multiplier. If you reveal all 10 cash prizes, you’ll get an additional prize of 20x the stake. Uncover Michael, however, and the bonus will end. Finally, we have the Free Spins feature, which occurs when Annie, Lynda, Loomis or Laurie pops up on the reels in the Trick or Treat Wheel feature. When this happens you’ll get nine free spins from the character that triggered the feature. How’s that for thrilling?

Lucky Halloween

Are you in the mood to play a slot machine that’s both spooky and jam-packed full of features? Well then, Lucky Halloween may just be the slot for you. This 5-reel, 20 payline slot has a cool yet creepy comic-horror theme. Set against a moonlit backdrop, the objective of this game is to try and bring up the pumpkin rider or trigger a feature with the pumpkin wild. During Lucky Halloween you can expect to see symbols such as a witch’s hat, potion bottle, black cat, cupcakes with bat wings, pumpkins filled with gold coins, a cauldron with coloured balls, a haunted castle and of course, the pumpkin rider himself.

The pumpkin rider is the main bonus here. You’ll hear him before you see him and he’ll herald his arrival with a toot of his horn and a flash of his headlights. Once on your screen, this skinny rider with a pumpkin head will give you access to four mini-features. These are:

• Pumpkin Tree: This special symbol can multiply your win up to 20x.

• Random Wild: Six wilds will be randomly selected and added onto the reels.

• Mega Wild: A huge 3×3 wild symbol that will drop onto the reels.

• Special Reels: The biker rides across the reels and removes all the lower value playing card symbols. A spin follows with just the higher value symbols in play.

In addition to these mini-features, three or more free spins symbols on the reels will trigger the Free Spins bonus, while three or more bonus symbols will trigger the Full Moon feature that can reward with top prizes 800x your stake!

Immortal Romance

Immortal Romance is definitely one of the more admired Halloween inspired slots on the market. It capitalises on the popularity of vampire TV series and movies that have been released over the years. Where Immortal Romance really leaves bite marks however is with its five reels and 245 paylines plus high quality gothic style graphics. There’s also a surprisingly engaging storyline filled with forbidden love and betrayal that you can follow as you play. It’s in this story where you’ll meet Troy, a Transylvanian vampire, Amber the witch, Michael the ancient vampire and Sarah the medical researcher, who may not be all that she appears.

In addition to the decorated low value playing card symbols, there’s the games logo that acts as the wild and the golden lion door knocker, which is the scatter. During the game you’ll also see the four characters appear as high value symbols, manuscripts and a big creepy house.

The first bonus feature that you’ll have the opportunity to encounter is the Wild Desire feature. This feature activates randomly and will turn up to five reels wild and offer one free spin. The good stuff however is found in The Chamber Of Spins feature. This is the main bonus for Immortal Romance, unlocked only when you land three, four or five lion’s head scatter symbols. For your first visit to the chamber, you’ll gain access to Amber’s domain. Amber offers 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier. Then, after few more visits, Troy’s chamber will become available for selection. Troy offers up 15 free spins plus the chance to turn some reels into 2x or 3x multipliers courtesy of a few pesky flying bats.

After Troy we have Michael. Michael’s chamber holds 20 free spins with rolling reels, meaning each time a winning spin has landed, all symbols involved will change into other symbols and form a multiplier that can increase by 1x to a maximum of 5x. Last but definitely not least, we have the highly suspicious Sarah. For your persistence, Sarah will reward you with 25 free spins. You’ll also find that in Sarah’s chamber, there’s a wild vine enhancer that will transform a random number of other symbols into wilds if it lands on reel three. Thanks, Sarah.

Now that we’ve reviewed these spooky games for you, all that’s left is for you to pluck up some courage and give them a try yourself. With a little help from this guide, you’ll be celebrating Halloween in style and spending your cash on more than just candy.
