Play Pumpkin Bonanza for Free

Enter a haunted pumpkin patch with the witch’s castle in the background, as you start your Halloween roaming tour on the reels. Relentless fog is wavering on a clear night, with the moon crescent providing just enough light to turn the scene into a truly eerie atmosphere.

Pumpkin Bonanza has seven pay symbols and one wild symbol, all appearing stacked in the base game and during the Bonanza Spins feature. They start with the card suits of diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts at the low end. The high-paying symbols in ascending order of value consist of a scarecrow figure, the witch herself, and her flying on a broom. The wild symbol is a carved pumpkin appearing on two occasions. There are no bonus symbols or scatters on this slot.

This Playtech game is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 10 fixed paylines. The main features are pay both ways, Pumpkin Wild transformation and Bonanza Spins. The RTP of this medium-variance game is set at 95.51%. The slot is designed in the modern HTML5 format, making it available for play on desktop, mobile, and tablet across all OS platforms. AutoPlay allows players to choose from 10 to 100 spins to be played consecutively, with a range of option as to when the run should stop. Alternatively, they can start an indefinite run that will stop when a feature is hit.

The pay-both-ways mechanic will award wins from both sides – left to right and right to left. Any five of a kind will also be paid twice. A full screen of the top-paying symbols will therefore lead to a 1,000x bet win. A single five of a kind pays 50x the bet. This multiplied by the 10 paylines equals 500x the stake, which is then doubled by the pay-both-ways mechanic.

Going on a pumpkin bonanza tour starts at a low-roller-friendly 0.10 and goes up to a huge 500 coins, which should please the high rollers among the slot-playing community. Pays for a single five of a kind range from 2.50 to 50x the initial stake, and the maximum win in a single Bonanza Spin sequence peaks at 2,000x the bet.

On every spin with a chance of hitting a winning combination from both sides, the potential winning symbols will transform into pumpkin wilds on reel three. This increases your chance to score winning combinations from left to right and from right to left. Pumpkin wilds substitute for all symbols. Hitting a win from both sides will trigger the Bonanza Spin feature.

This is the main feature on this slot, as it can lead to the maximum win of 2,000x your bet. The feature is triggered when a both-ways win occurs on the initial spin. The area where pumpkin wilds can appear is now increased to reels two, three and four. All symbols that were part of a winning combination on the triggering spin will appear as pumpkin wilds for the Bonanza Spin.

To hit the maximum win, you will need to score a full screen of the top-paying symbol on the initial spin, and then a second time on the Bonanza Spin. Each awards a 1,000x the bet win, totaling 2,000x your bet for the entire spin sequence.

Halloween has been a very popular theme on video slots ever since the first such game was produced in the 90s. Some good examples available for play today are Lucky Halloween from Red Tiger Gaming and Halloween Jack from NetEnt.

I’m not really sure where to put this slot. It is well-designed with some good-looking graphics and animations, as well as a suspenseful soundtrack. It also plays well, with the Bonanza Spin feature triggering often enough. However, that is where the excitement pretty much stops. Although the feature can produce some good wins, it still leaves the slot rather bare since there are no other random or bonus features.

Personally, I would have liked to see a free spins round that keeps the increased area for pumpkin wilds to appear throughout the feature. That would certainly help create some great wins. Overall, the slot can be enjoyable and has the potential for mega wins. So, are you ready for your trick-or-treating tour?
