Halloween Fortune Slot Machine
Fans of the paranormal will love this spooky new slot machine designed by Playtech. With 5 reels and 20 paylines, Halloween Fortune is a fairly mid-range video slot which will award players will a good volatility balance between frequent wins and handsome prizes. In fact, the game's jackpot is capped at 10,000 credits, which isn't the biggest in the business but is by no means the least lucrative top prize.
However, this game's merit lies in the quality of the graphics, which present some subtle 3D animations to bring the haunting Halloween theme to life. Plus, there are ample extra features to keep spinners entertained, including wilds, scatters, a gamble game and free spins with multipliers.
Pleasantly scary
Halloween Fortune is centred around three alluringly beautiful witch characters riding their broomsticks – one wearing a devilish red dress with ginger hair, another wearing an emerald green dress with brunette locks and one wearing a sapphire blue dress with wispy white hair. The other symbols which make up this supernatural slot machine include some animals associated with the occult such as a black cat and a menacing raven, as well as some props of sorcery, including a magical amulet necklace and a vial of potion. But perhaps the spookiest icons of all are the skull candle holder, a bubbling witches' cauldron and the jack o' lantern pumpkin.
On first glance, the artwork of this slot machine appears to be rendered as very detailed and impressive 2D illustrations. However, as players will soon discover, some of the icons are actually capable of springing to life through 3D animations to perform some spinning actions. What's more, the game includes a suitably haunting theme tune to complete a game that is filled with all sorts of eerie sights and sounds.
Place your wagers
Even if you're not a fan of things that go bump in the night, this Halloween Fortune slot machine is still worth a spin or two because it has plenty of winning potential. And you don't necessarily need to be a brave spinner either, because players can play with anywhere between 1 and 20 paylines with a limited range of wagering options from 0.01 to 1 credits per active line.
The majority of winning prizes are paid out as line bet multipliers, except for scatter wins which are paid as total bet multipliers regardless of whether scatter symbols appear on a payline.
Not only does the pumpkin icon award the biggest wins of the game, but it will also help players to create other winning sequences by replacing all symbols except for the scatter and the bonus cauldron.
Witches' Brew Bonus
That's right, players can unlock some bonus action if they find two of those bonus symbols anywhere on the first and second reels of Halloween Fortune. This will whisk players away to a side game screen where they will be given the privilege of picking their favourite witch character who will then stir up her bubbling cauldron to award a random number of free spins up to a possible 20. However, the witch needs one final ingredient to determine the size of a multiplier for these free games. Therefore, players must pick one of the six potions presented which will be added to the cauldron, revealing a multiplier up to 10x.
50/50 gamble
This slot machine also includes a simple double or nothing gamble game which can be activated after wins from the main game and after bonus spins. Players simply have to guess the correct colour of a playing card to double up their wins to a limit of 1,000 credits. There's no hocus pocus – just pure 50/50 chance!
Simple but fun
Halloween Fortune is a very impressive slot machine from Playtech. Admittedly, the game is somewhat limited in betting options with a maximum line bet of just 1 credit. Plus, the free spins game is fairly standard despite the inclusion of bonus multipliers. But the game is still fun to play simply for the fact that it is well designed, presenting a Halloween theme that strikes the best balance between spooky symbols and novelty characters.
