Play Halloween Fortune II for Free

Nothing quite beats the thrill of a scare. That's why people go to so much effort every year to dress up and watch scary movies in honour of Halloween. Well, there's that and the endless amount of sweets and candy!

This slot machine captures the essence of the macabre holiday by presenting 5 reels that are filled with iconic creatures and trinkets from the horror genre. This icons include a candle holder made from a skull, a black cat, a raven and a frightful jack-o'-lantern.

However, the stars of this spooky slot are three bewitchingly beautiful witches, all of which will take up thee reel positions. Not only does that give spinners a better view of these spell-binding sorceresses, but it also means that there is every possibility for spinners to trigger multiple paylines for larger prize hauls.

We've come across some awfully frightful slot machines in our time but, truth be told, this isn't one of them. That is because the game is actually designed to present a novelty cartoon style rather than going straight for the heart-raising frights and gory graphics.

While this may not appease the true horror-hunters out there, it does give the game a more universal appeal. Plus, the game does well to mingle a dark and shadowy forest backdrop with eerily glowing colours on the reels for an overall captivating aesthetic.

Speaking of prize hauls, there are many to be had with in this spooky little slot machine by Playtech. The winnings come in all different sizes depending on how many of which symbol happens to align on any of the 25 active paylines.

Punters can choose to play with line bets worth anywhere between 0.01 credits and 10.00 credits, meaning that there is a chance for truly brave spinners to find a jackpot worth 30,000 coins.

These enchanted reels wouldn't make much of a Halloween themed slot machine if they didn't throw up any magic tricks. Luckily, Halloween Fortune II gives players the chance to rack up their wins with a couple of special bonus features, beginning with a good old wild symbol – the gruesomely grinning pumpkin. This icon will replace all normal paying icons on the reels to help form those all important sequences on the paylines.

There is one other bonus symbol, and it has a lot more to offer. This is the scatter icon – depicted by the game's logo – which will pay total bet multipliers up to 100x whenever two or more appear on the reels regardless of payline position.

That's not all, because it will activate 10 free games whenever three or more appear. These free spins will begin with a 2x multiplier applied to all wins, and that multiplier will increase by +1 every two spins. So, by the ninth and tenth spin, all wins will be multiplied by 6x the normal value.

This free spin feature has one last trick up its sleeve – a locked wild symbol that remains in the centre of the third reel for the entirety of the round.

Halloween Fortune II may not an outright fright-fest, but it still manages to capture elements of the macabre with its iconic horror-prop symbols and shady forest setting.

Plus, the game is sure to appeal to any punter looking for a Halloween themed spin with its appealing witch characters and even more appealing jackpot of 30,000 coins. And that's not even mentioning the possibility of 6x wins in the free spins bonus round. If that's not magic then we don't know what is.
