Our first Halloween-themed Slot of the Week of the year has arrived as Red Rake Gaming added several spooky wild symbols to the reels in Halloween Wins 2.
Decorated with candles, black cats and ghouls, Halloween Wins 2 is a 5×4 reel slot with 50-paylines and an abundance of bonus features, including multipliers, hold-and-win spins and spinning bonus wheels. The slot has medium-low volatility with an RTP of 95.3%.
Severed hand scatter symbols can also land on any reel, awarding payouts regardless of payline combinations. Landing three, four or five hands on the same spin awards x2, x10 or x200 the total bet, respectively.
Pumpkin door symbols can land on the middle reel. If these symbols land in a full stack to cover the middle reel entirely, then the hold-and-win-style ‘Halloween ghosts’ bonus game will be activated.
In the ‘Halloween ghosts’ game mode activated by pumpkin doors, players are given three spins on a 3×3 reel set where a pumpkin symbol stays sticky on the middle reel.
As players spin the reels, ghosts and skull jackpot coins can land on reels one and three, presenting prize values that will be collected by the sticky pumpkin in the middle reel.
Additionally, extra pumpkins can appear on the middle reel, significantly increasing the win potential for this game mode.
Skull coins present jackpot values of minor, major or grand, some of which can also be won in other bonus game modes.
Additionally, Frankenstein bonus symbols can land on reels one, three and five. If three appear at once, the ‘triple electric wheel’ will be presented from which players can win multiplied bet amounts or jackpots.
This feature presents three wheels of small, medium and large sizes. Players get to spin the first wheel, which can either award multiplied bet amounts from x4 to x8 or land on a lightning bolt, which provides access to the next wheel.
From the medium wheel, players can win between x8 and x12 their stake, or access to the large wheel. This final wheel offers prizes from x10 to x100 or jackpot prizes of mini or major.
Haunted house scatters are also available, but only on reels two, three and four. Landing three scatters on the same spin activates the free spins game mode.
During the free spins, all spins will be preceeded by a random multiplier that enhances the total payout from that spin.
Four types of wild symbols can drop into play, with standard green wild text symbols, standard full reel wilds, wild pumpkins and Dracula wilds substituting for all symbols other than Frankensteins, pumpkin doors, severed hands and haunted house scatters.
Each wild pumpkin will enhance all wins they contribute to by random multipliers of either x2, x3, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12 or x20.
Furthermore, Dracula wilds can only appear on the middle reel, appearing as a 1×3 symbol that can land fully on the reels. When this symbol does fill the entire middle reel, the ‘Dracula respins’ feature will be activated.
For this feature, a respin occurs around the expanded wild in the middle reel with high value Dracula symbols more likely to appear across the surrounding reels.
