Symbols

Press the blue “i” button in the bottom left corner. The information table will pop up. It has the information about symbols and prize combinations for spins on the conditions set by you.

There are 10 simple multipliers in the Halloween video slot. It's a portrait of a man, a picture of woman, black cat, full moon, spider, a basket full of sweets, ace, king, queen and jack.

Aside from that, there are three special symbols in this slot:

  • Normal Wild (a witch hat and a broom). It replaces any of other symbols in the prize combinations, except for Scatter and Extra Wild symbols. It can appear on any of five wheels.
  • Extra Wild (a picture of a pumpkin — the main Halloween attribute). It can only appear on the extreme right wheel. It turns A, K, Q and J into Wilds and replaces other symbols in prize combinations to complete them (except for Scatter)
  • Scatter. Three and more of those at the same prize line can launch the round of 10 free spins. They won't launch automatically though, the player has to press the Start button, or, if he wishes to, skip the bonus game. During the free spins the multiplier is being turned on, so each prize you get is being multiplied by two. Scatters can only appear on the wheels 2, 3 and 4. If you'll get the three scatter combination again during the free spins, you'll get 10 more. Free spins are happening on your conditions (the number of lines and the bet size), you cannot edit or change them during the free spins.

Winning combinations

The slot only reads the combinations from left to right. To win you have to collect the combination of three and more identical pictures on the same prize line. In the case when there is more than one prize combination on the active lines, video slot reads all of them, and player gets prizes for all of them.

After each win the system gives gambling fans a chance to double their prize during the risk game.

Risk game

A possibility to play the additional bonus round appears after each lucky spin. In the bottom right corner, under the window showing your prize, the GAMBLE button starts to blink. Press it to start the risk game.

After you press it, the new gaming layout with a card deck appears. Slot offers you to guess the colour of the card. If you guess it right, your win is being doubled and the next round of the risk game starts. Risk game goes on, and if you guess the colour of the card again, your win is being doubled again. This goes on until you lose the risk game. To go back to the normal game mode and take back all the money you've already won you have to press the COLLECT button, or at the any of the start buttons on the control panel.

And if you didn't guess the card's colour in the risk game, you're losing your prize from the last round and you're going back to the wheels.

The risk game cannot be player during the AUTOPLAY mode.

Jackpots

At the Halloween slot the players can get one of the four jackpots. It isn't up for players what jackpot are they getting: it depends on the system only. If you'll get Clubs, it means that the size of the jackpot will be minimal, first level. Diamonds are the second level jackpot. Hearts — third level. The maximal, fourth level jackpot is brought by Spades.

The level and the size of the jackpot is shown at the right side of the card suit.

How to win at the Halloween slot

Advanced gamblers and experienced users are giving newbies some advices for raising their chances for a win on the Halloween slot machine:

  • Avoid playing too short and too long round series. It's better to choose something in between for this slot. Use the AUTOPLAY button after choosing the bet and the number of lines. You cannot edit this data during the free spins.
  • Play with the maximal number of the active prize lines. It will raise your chances for collecting the prize combinations.
  • Even in the demo-version of the game it's better to choose the average bet size. It's better to start spinning with the second level bets and to slowly raise them after some wins instead of setting the maximum sum from the start.
  • Take a short break after winning a lot. You can get too excited after winning and lose everything.
  • Don't play the risk game too often. The chance of winning it is only 50/50. The chances of winning in the normal game mode is higher.

As the developer states, the possibility of win at the Halloween slot is over 90%. Maybe the recommendations given above will raise your chances for the win even more.

This Internet webpage has to be trustworthy and checked, without any negative feedback and with a high percent of paying. Also this online casino shouldn't have any troubles with converting the currency and it has to work with different payment systems.

The myths about slot machines

There are some common misconceptions about the slot machines that you shouldn't trust at all. Those are groundless opinions followed by no one:

  • The possibility of winning IRL is higher than the possibility of winning at the online slot. It' wrong: the chances are equal.
  • Slots can be “hot” and “cold”. No one has won at the first ones for a long time, so it has a lot of coins and the next player obviously should get them. Cold ones are the machines without money, left without any because the last player left with a huge prize.
  • There are lucky hours for playing the online casino. The chances of the win actually do not depend on the day time, weather, month and other circumstances.
  • The RNG principle can be calculated. Sadly, it's also just a myth. There's no way for guessing what symbols and combinations the RNG will give out. It's just a computer, which is programmed for random drop of multipliers, combinations and prizes.
  • If you didn't win, the owners of the casino are to blame. Actually, you shouldn't blame the casino workers for your lack of luck. If you want to blame them for unfair gambling activity, you should remember that not every IT specialist can re-program slot machines. It's quite an expensive and hard process. No solid casino will risk their reputation, good feedback and license for easy money. The casino owners are getting money anyway. But it doesn't mean that you should trust everyone. Both IRL-casinos and online gambling resources have cases of unfair activities. So before choosing an online or offline casino, read the feedback on it. This establishment has to have a clear reputation and high percent of paying.

Carefully read different myths about slot machines to avoid the common mistakes.
